This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be
more susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published
specifications.

PCM3793A/94A DESCRIPTION
Analog Input
The AIN1L, AIN1R, AIN2L, AIN2R, AIN3L, and AIN3R pins can be used as microphone or line inputs with
selectable 0- or 20-dB boost and 1-Vrms input. All of these analog inputs have high input impedance (20 k Ω ),
which is not changed by gain settings. One pair of inputs is selected by register 87 (AIL[1:0], AIR[1:0]). AIN1L
and AIN1R can be used as a monaural differential input.
Gain Settings for Analog Input
The gain of the analog signals can be adjusted from 30 dB to –12 dB in 1-dB steps following the 0- or 20-dB
boost amplifier. The gain level can be set for each channel by registers 79 and 80 (ALV[5:0], ARV[5:0]).
A/D Converter
The ADC includes a multilevel delta-sigma modulator, aliasing filter, decimation filter, high-pass filter, and notch
filter and can accept a 1-Vrms full-scale voltage input. The decimation filter has a digital soft mute controlled by
register 81 (RMUL, RMUR). The high-pass filter can be disabled by register 81 (HPF[1:0]), and the notch filter
can be disabled by registers 96 to 104 if it is not necessary to cancel a dc offset or compensate for wind noise.
D/A Converter
The DAC includes a multilevel delta-sigma modulator and an interpolation filter. These can be used to obtain
high PSRR, low jitter sensitivity, and low out-of-band noise quickly and easily. The interpolation filter includes
digital attenuator, digital soft mute, three-band tone control (bass, midrange and treble), and 3-D sound
controlled by registers 92 to 95. The de-emphasis filter (32, 44.1 and 48 kHz) is controlled by registers 68 to 70
(ATL[5:0], ATR[5:0], PMUL, PMUR, DEM[1:0]). Oversampling rate control can reduce out-of-band noise when
operating at low sampling rates by using register 70 (OVER).
Common Voltage
The V
pin is normally biased to 0.5 V
COM
, and it provides the common voltage to internal circuitry. It is
CC
recommended that a 4.7- µ F capacitor be connected between this pin and AGND to provide clean voltage and
avoid pop noise. The PCM3793A/94A may have a little pop noise on each analog output if a capacitor smaller
than 4.7 µ F is used.
Line Output
The HPOL/LOL, HPOR/LOR, and HPCOM/MONO pins can drive a 10-k Ω load and be configured by register 74
(HPS[1:0]) as a monaural single-ended, monaural differential, or stereo single-line output with 1-V
output.
rms
These outputs, except for the HPCOM/MONO pin, include an analog volume amplifier that can be set from 6 dB
to –70 dB and mute in steps of 0.5-, 1-, 2- or 4-dB. Each output is controlled by registers 64 and 65 (HLV[5:0],
HRV[5:0], HMUL, HMUR). No dc blocking capacitor is required when connecting an external speaker amplifier
with monaural differential input. The center voltage is 0.5 V
with zero data input.
CC
Headphone Output
The HPOL/LOL, HPOR/LOR, and HPCOM/MONO pins can be configured as a stereo, monaural, or monaural
differential headphone output by register 74 (HPS[1:0]). These pins have more than 30 or 40 mWrms output
power into a 32- or 16- Ω load, either through a dc blocking capacitor or without a capacitor. These outputs,
except for the HPCOM/MONO pin, include an analog volume amplifier that can be set from 6 dB to –70 dB in
steps of 0.5, 1, 2, or 4 dB. Each is controlled by registers 64 and 65 (HLV[5:0], HRV[5:0], HMUL, HMUR). The
center voltage is 0.5 V
with zero data input.
CC
Headphone Plug Insertion Detection
The HDTI pin detects the insertion status of headphone plug and writes the status to register 77 (HPDS), which
can be read by the I2C interface. The polarity of the status indication can be inverted by register 75 (HPDP). The
headphone and speaker amplifiers are disabled or enabled automatically by headphone plug
insertion/extractrion if register 75, HPDE = 1. They follow the register settings if register 75, HPDE = 0.
HPCOM/MONO is not affected by the status when register 74, CMS[0] = 1.

Speaker Output (Class-D, PCM3793A)
The SPOLP/SPOLN and SPORP/SPORN pins are stereo or mono speaker differential outputs (BTL) pairs with a
maximum of 700 mWrms (V
maximum battery life, minimum heat, and elimination of LC low-pass filtering. The speaker amplifier includes an
analog volume control with 6 dB to –70 dB in steps of 0.5, 1, 2 or 4 dB steps for each output, which can be set
by registers 66 (SLV[5:0] and 67 SRV[5:0]). Spectrum spreading technology and selectable switching frequency
to reduce EMI noise are controlled by register 71 (DFQ[2:0], SPS[1:0] and SPSE). This digital amplifier has a
thermal shutdown circuit that detects when the device temperature reaches approximately 150 ° C; then the
speaker amplifier is shut down.
Analog Mixing and Bypass
Mixing amplifiers (MXL, MXR) mix inputs from the AIN pins. The analog inputs are selected by register 87
(AD2S, AIR[1:0],AIL[1:0]) and can bypass the ADC/DAC and connect the mixed signal to the headphone or
speaker outputs by register 88 (MXR[2:0], MXL[2:0]). The gain of the analog inputs is controlled by register 89
(GMR[2:0], GML[2:0]). These functions are suitable for FM radio, headset, and other analog sources without an
ADC.
Microphone Bias
The MICB pin is the microphone bias source for an external microphone. MICB can provide 2 mA (typical) of
bias current.
= 3.6 V, volume = 6 dB) into an 8- Ω load. The digital speaker amplifier offers
PA
Digital Gain Control
A portable application with small speakers may be require a high sound level when playing back audio data
recorded at low level. Digital gain control (DGC) can be used to amplify the digital input data by 0, 6, 12 or 18 dB
by setting register 70 (SPX[1:0]).
Automatic Level Control (ALC) for Recording
The sound for microphone recording should be expanded to a suitable level without saturation. The digitally
controlled automatic level control (ALC) provides automatic expansion for small input signals and compression
for large input signals while recording. The expansion level, compression level, attack time, and recovery time
can be selected by register 83. The register 83 description explains the details of these settings.
3-D Sound
A 3-D sound effect is provided by mixing L-channel and R-channel data with a band-pass filter with two
parameters, mixing ratio and band pass filter characteristic, that can be controlled by register 95 (3DP[3:0],
3FLO). The 3-D sound effect uses the DAC digital input or ADC digital output selected by register 95 (SDAS).
Three-Band Tone Control
Tone control has bass, midrange, and treble controls that can be adjusted from 12 dB to –12 dB in 1-dB steps
by registers 92 to 94 (LGA[4:0], MGA[4:0] and HGA[4:0]). Register 92 (LPAE) attenuates the digital input signal
automatically to prevent clipping of the output signal at settings above 0 dB for bass control. LPAE has no effect
on midrange and treble controls.
High-Pass Filter and Two-Stage Programmable Notch Filter
The high-pass filter eliminates the dc offset of the ADC analog signal and can be set for a cutoff frequency of 4
Hz, 120 Hz, or 240 Hz at the 48-kHz sampling frequency by register 81 (HPF[1:0]). A register 95 (SDAS)
selection applies the filter to either the DAC digital input or the ADC digital output.
Notch filters are provided to remove noise of a particular frequency, such as CCD noise, motor noise, or other
mechanical noise in a particualr application. The PCM3793A/94A has two notch filters for which the center
frequency and frequency bandwidth can be programmed by registers 96 to 104. A register 95 (SDAS) selection
applies the filter to either the DAC digital input or the ADC digital output.

Digital Monaural Mixing
The audio data can be converted from stereo digital data to mixed monaural digital data. The conversion occurs
in the internal audio interface section and is controlled by register 96 (MXEN).
Zero-Cross Detection
Zero-cross detection minimizes audible zipper noise while changing analog volume and digital attenuation. This
function applies to the digital input or digital output as defined by register 86 (ZCRS).
Short Protection
The short-circuit protection on each headphone output prevents damage to the device while an output is shorted
to V
, an output is shorted to PGND, or any two outputs are shorted together. When the short circuit is detected
PA
on the outputs, the PCM3793A/94A powers down the shorted amplifier immediately. The short-protection status
can be monitored by reading register 77 (STHC, STHL, SCHR) through the I2C interface. Short-circuit protection
operates in any enabled headphone amplifier.
Thermal Protection
The thermal protection on the speaker amplifier prevents damage to the device when the internal die
temperature exceeds approximately 150 ° C. Once the die temperature exceeds the thermal set point, all analog
outputs are powered down. This status can be reset by setting register 76 (RLSR, RLSL) and can be watched
by reading register 77 (STSR, STSL) through the two-wire (I2C) interface. Thermal protection operates in any
enabled speaker amplifier.
Pop-Noise Reduction Circuit
The pop-noise reduction circuit prevents audible noise when turning the power supply on/off and powering the
device up/down in portable applications. It is recommended to establish the register settings in the sequence
that is shown in Table 3 and Table 4 . No particular external parts are required.
Power Up/Down for Each Module
Using register 72 (PMXL, PMXR), register 73 (PBIS, PDAR, PDAL, PHPC, PHPR, PHPL, PSPR, PSPL), register
82 (PAIR, PAIL, PADS, PMCB, PADR, PADL), and register 90 (PCOM), unused modules can be powered down
to minimize power consumption (7 mW during playback only and 13 mW when recording only).
Digital Audio Interface
The PCM3793A/94A can receive I2S, right-justified, left-justified, and DSP formats in both master and slave
modes. These options can be selected in register 70 (PFM[1:0]), register 81 (RFM[1:0]) and register 84 (MSTR).

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
System Clock Input
The PCM3793A/94A can accept clocks of various frequencies without a PLL. They are used for clocking the
digital filters and automatic level control and delta-sigma modulators and are classified as common-audio and
application-specific clocks. Table 2 shows frequencies of the common-audio clock and application-specific clock.
Figure 26 shows the timing requirements for system clock inputs. The sampling rate and frequency of the
system clocks are determined by the settings of register 86 (MSR[2:0]) and register 85 (NPR[5:0]). Note that the
sampling rate of the application-specific clock has a little sampling error. The details are shown in Table 12 .

Power-On Reset and System Reset
The power-on-reset circuit outputs a reset signal, typically at V
the voltage of other power supplies (V
, V
PA
, and V
CC
). Internal circuits are cleared to default status, then
IO
= 1.2 V, and this circuit does not depend on
DD
signals are removed from all analog and digital outputs. The PCM3793A/94A does not require any power supply
sequencing. Register data must be written after turning all power supplies on.
System reset is enabled by setting register 85 (SRST = 1). After the reset sequence, the register data is reset to
SRST = 0 automatically. All circuits are cleared to their default status at once by the system reset. Note that the
PCM3793A/94A has audible pop noise on the analog outputs when enabling SRST.
Power On/Off Sequence
To reduce audible pop noise, a sequence of register settings is required after turning all power supplies on when
powering up, or before turning the power supplies off when powering down. If some modules are not required for
a particular application or operation, they should be placed in the power-down state after performing the
power-on sequence. The recommended power-on and power-off sequences are shown in Table 3 and Table 4 ,
respectively.
