*Stresses greater than those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause

permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation
of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the
operational section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

CAUTION

ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the AD1816A features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

The AD1816A latchup immunity has been demonstrated at ≥ +100 mA/–80 mA on all pins when
tested to Industry Standard/JEDEC methods.

AD1816A

–15–

REV. A

HOST INTERFACE

The AD1816A contains all necessary ISA bus interface logic on
chip. This logic includes address decoding for all onboard
resources, control and signal interpretation, DMA selection and
control logic, IRQ selection and control logic, and all interface
configuration logic.

The AD1816A supports a Type “F” DMA request/grant archi­tecture for transferring data with the ISA bus through the 8-bit
interface. The AD1816A also supports DACK preemption. Pro­grammed I/O (PIO) mode is also supported for control register
accesses and for applications lacking DMA control. The
AD1816A includes dual DMA count registers for full-duplex
operation enabling simultaneous capture and playback on sepa­rate DMA channels.

Codec Functional Description

The AD1816A’s full-duplex stereo codec supports business audio
and multimedia applications. The codec includes stereo audio
converters, complete on-chip filtering, MPC Level-2 and
Level-3 compliant analog mixing, programmable gain and at­tenuation, variable sample rate converters, extensive digital mixing
and FIFOs buffering the Plug and Play ISA bus interface.

Analog Inputs

The codec contains a stereo pair of ∑∆ analog-to-digital con­verters (ADC). Inputs to the ADC can be selected from the fol­lowing analog signals: mono (PHONE_IN), mono microphone
(MIC), stereo line (LINE), external stereo synthesizer
(SYNTH), stereo CD ROM (CD), stereo audio from a video
source (VID) and post-mixed stereo or mono line output (OUT).

Analog Mixing

PHONE_IN, MIC, LINE, SYNTH, CD and VID can be mixed
in the analog domain with the stereo line OUT from the Σ∆
digital-to-analog converters (DAC). Each channel of the stereo
analog inputs can be independently gained or attenuated from
+12 dB to –34.5 dB in 1.5 dB steps, except for PHONE_IN,
which has a range of 0 dB to –45 dB steps. The summing path
for the mono inputs (MIC, and PHONE_IN to line OUT) du­plicates mono channel data on both the left and right line OUT,
which can also be gained or attenuated from +12dB to –34.5dB
in 1.5 dB steps for MIC, and +0 dB to –45.0 dB in 3 dB steps
for PHONE_IN. The left and right mono summing signals are
always identical being gained or attenuated equally.

Analog-to-Digital Datapath

The selector sends left and right channel information to the pro­grammable gain amplifier (PGA). The PGA following the selec­tor allows independent gain for each channel entering the ADC
from 0 dB to 22.5 dB in 1.5 dB steps.

For supporting time correlated I/O echo cancellation, the ADC
is capable of sampling microphone data on the left channel and
the mono summation of left and right OUT on the right channel.

The codec can operate in either a global stereo mode or a global
mono mode with left channel inputs appearing at both channels of
the 16-bit Σ∆ converters. Data can be sampled at the programmed
sampling frequency (from 4 kHz to 55.2 kHz with 1 Hz resolution).

Digital Mixing and Sample Rates

The audio ADC sample rate and the audio DAC sample rates
are completely independent. The AD1816A includes a variable
sample rate converter that lets the codec instantaneously change
and process sample rates from 4 kHz to 55.2 kHz with a reso­lution of 1 Hz. The in-band integrated noise and distortion
artifacts introduced by rate conversions are below –90 dB.

Up to four channels of digital data can be summed together and
presented to the stereo DAC for conversion. Each digital chan­nel pair can contain information encoded at a different sample
rate. For example, 8 kHz .wav data received from the ISA inter­face, 48 kHz MPEG audio data received from I

2

S(0), digital

44.1 kHz CD data received from I

2

S(1) and internally generated

22.05 kHz music data may be summed together and converted
by the DACs.

Digital-to-Analog Datapath

The internally generated music synthesizer data, PCM data
received from the ISA interface, data received from the I

2

S(0)

port and data received from the I

2

S(1) port, and the DSP serial
port passes through an attenuation mute stage. The attenuator
allows independent control over each digital channel, which can
be attenuated from 0 dB to –94.5 dB in 1.5 dB steps before be­ing summed together and passed to the DAC, or the channel
may be muted entirely.

Analog Outputs and Phat Stereo

The analog output of the DAC can be summed with any of the
analog input signals. The summed analog signal enters the
Master Volume stage where each channel L_OUT, R_OUT and
PHONE_OUT may be attenuated from 0 dB to –46.5 dB in

1.5 dB steps or muted.

Analog Outputs and Phat Stereo

The AD1816A includes ADI’s proprietary Phat Stereo 3D
phase enhancement technology, which creates an increased
sense of spaciousness using two speakers. Our unique patented
feedback technology enables superior control over the width and
depth of the acoustic signals arriving at the human ear. The
AD1816A employs an electrical model of the speaker-to-ear
path allowing precise control over a signal’s phase at the ear. The
Phat Stereo circuitry expands apparent sound images beyond the
angle of the speakers by exploiting phase information in the audio
signal and creating a more immersive listening experience.

Digital Data Types

The codec can process 16-bit twos complement PCM linear
digital data, 8-bit unsigned magnitude PCM linear data and
8-bit µ-law or A-law companded digital data as specified in the
control registers. The AD1816A also supports ADPCM en­coded in the Creative SoundBlaster ADPCM formats.

Host-Based Echo Cancellation Support

The AD1816A supports time correlated I/O data format by pre­senting MIC data on the left channel of the ADC and the mono
summation of left and right OUT on the right channel. The
ADC sample rates are independent of the DAC sample rate allow­ing the AD1816A to support ADC time correlated I/O data at
8 kHz and DAC data at any other sample rate in the range of
4 kHz to 55.2 kHz simultaneously.

Telephony Support

The AD1816A contains a PHONE_IN input and a
PHONE_OUT output. These pins are supplied so the AD1816A
may be connected to a modem chip set, a telephone handset or
down-line phone.

WSS and SoundBlaster Compatibility

Windows Sound System software audio compatibility is built
into the AD1816A.

SoundBlaster emulation is provided through the SoundBlaster
register set and the internal music synthesizer. SoundBlaster Pro
version 3.02 functions are supported, including record and Cre­ative SoundBlaster ADPCM.

Multimedia PC Capabilities

The AD1816A is MPC-2 and MPC-3 compliant. This compli­ance is achieved through the AD1816A’s flexible mixer and the
embedded chip resources.

Music Synthesis

The AD1816A includes an embedded music synthesizer that
emulates industry standard OPL3 FM synthesizer chips and
delivers 20 voice polyphony. The internal synthesizer generates
digital music data at 22.05 kHz and is summed into the DACs
digital data stream prior to conversion. To sum synthesizer data
with the ADC output, the ADC must be programmed for a

22.05 kHz sample rate.
The synthesizer is a hardware

implementation of Eusynth-1+
code that was developed by
Euphonics, a research and devel­opment company that specializes
in audio processing and electronic
music synthesis.

Wavetable MIDI Inputs

The AD1816A has a dedicated analog input for receiving an
analog wavetable synthesizer output. Alternatively, a wavetable
synthesizer’s I

2

S formatted digital output can be directly con-

nected to one of the AD1816A’s I

2

S serial ports. Digital wave-

table data from the AD1816A’s I

2

S port may be summed with
other digital data streams being handled by the AD1816A and
then sent to the 16-bit Σ∆ DAC.

MIDI

The primary interface for communicating MIDI data to and from
the host PC is the compatible MPU-401 interface that operates
only in UART mode. The MPU-401 interface has two built-in
FIFOs: a 64-byte receive FIFO and a 16-byte transmit FIFO.

Game Port

An IBM-compatible game port interface is provided on chip.
The game port supports up to two joysticks via a 15-pin D-sub
connector. Joystick registers supporting the Microsoft Direct
Input standard are included as part of the codec register map.
The AD1816A may be programmed to automatically sample the
game port and save the value in the Joystick Position Data Reg­ister. When enabled, this feature saves up to 10% CPU MIPS
by off-loading the host from constantly polling the joystick port.

Volume Control

The registers that control the Master Volume output stage are
accessible through the ISA Bus. Master Volume output can also
be controlled through a 2-pin hardware interface. One pin is
used to increase the gain, the other pin attenuates the output
and both pins together entirely mute the output. Once muted, any
further activity on these pins will unmute the AD1816A’s output.

Plug and Play Configuration

The AD1816A is fully Plug and Play configurable. For mother­board applications, the built-in Plug and Play protocol can be
disabled with a software key providing a back door for the BIOS
to configure the AD1816A’s logical devices. For information on
the Plug and Play mode configuration process, see the Plug and
Play ISA Specification Version 1.0a (May 5, 1994). All the
AD1816A’s logical devices comply with Plug and Play resource
definitions described in the specification.

The AD1816A may alternatively be configured using an optional
Plug and Play Resource ROM. When the EEPROM is present,
some additional AD1816A muxed-pin features become avail­able. For example, pins that control an external modem logical
device are muxed with the DSP serial port. Some of these pin
option combinations are mutually exclusive (see Appendix A for
more information).
