CRD4202-1
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The CRD4202-1 reference design is a CNR card
that features six channel CD quality analog and
S/PDIF digital audio outputs. The card includes a
CS4202 AC '97 audio codec and two CS4334 24bit serial stereo DACs. This combination gives the
CRD4202-1 a rich feature set and industry leading
audio performance.
The CS4202 audio codec includes a stereo 20-bit
DAC, a stereo 18-bit ADC, and a very flexible analog audio mixer. The serial data outputs are paired
with two CS4334 DACs to provide four additional
channels of analog audio. The CS4202 also features three stereo pairs of line level analog inputs, a
microphone input, and a stereo pseudo-differential
CD input. The input signals can be routed to the
ADC for recording or mixed together for recording
and direct playback. The CS4202 has internal registers that are used to control its various features
such as volume levels, audio muting, and signal
routing. The CS4202 maintains high audio quality
®
and exceeds the Microsoft
PC 2001 audio perfor-
mance specifications.
The CS4202 audio codec communicates to the au-
dio controller across the CNR interface through the
AC-Link. The AC-Link is a 5-wire serial digital interface that transfers digital audio between the two
devices and also sends commands from the audio
controller to the CS4202 registers. For more information on the AC-Link, see the Intel
®
AC '97 revi-
sion 2.2 specification.
2. SCHEMATIC DESCRIPTION
The block diagram in Figure 1 illustrates the interconnections between the schematic pages found at
the end of this document. Sections 2.1 through 2.8
describe the circuitry contained in these schematics.
2.1 CS4202 Audio Codec
The CS4202 audio codec is shown in Figure 2. The
analog input signals to the CS4202 originate from
the inputs in Figure 3, while the analog outputs are
showninFigure4andFigure5.AFLT1and
AFLT2 (pins 29, 30) require 1000 pF NPO/COG
capacitors connected to analog ground. These capacitors provide a single pole lowpass filter to the
inputs of the CS4202 ADC. No other input filtering
is required.
The AC-Link may require series termination resistors to prevent reflections. These are normally
placed as close as possible to the transmitting end
of the AC-Link signal. The CS4202 SDATA_IN
(pin 8) and BIT_CLK (pin 6) outputs have 47 Ω series termination resistors.
The CS4202 is powered by separate analog and
digital power supplies, each with their own respective grounds. The AGND symbols refer to analog
ground and DGND symbols refer to digital ground.
For best results, connect the grounds together at a
single point with a 0.050 inch trace underneath the
CS4202. Each power pin requires an individual decoupling capacitor. These decoupling capacitors
are placed as close as possible to their respective
pins. The CS4202 audio codec uses a 0.1 µFceramic capacitor for each of the 3.3 V digital and
5 V analog supply pins.
2.2 Analog Inputs
The LINE_IN, VIDEO_IN, and AUX_IN stereo
inputs in Figure 3 are connected to 6 dB voltage dividers and AC-coupled to the CS4202 with 1 µF
capacitors to minimize low frequency roll-off. The
voltage divider allows input signal levels of up to
2 Vrms. The 6 dB dividers are for PC 99 compatibility and not required for PC 2001 compliance.
The microphone input is AC-coupled using a 1 µF
capacitor to minimize low frequency roll-off. The
microphone circuit provides low voltage phantom
power for electret microphones. Phantom power is
derived from the +5 V analog supply and provides
a maximum of 4.2 V under no load and a minimum
of 2.0 V under a 0.8 mA load, as required by
PC 2001 specifications.
DS549RD1A1 3
CRD4202-1
The CS4202 features a pseudo-differential CD input that minimizes common mode noise and interference. Each CD signal acts as one side of the
differential input and CD_COM acts as the other
side.CD_COMisusedasthecommonreturnpath
for both the left and right channels.
2.3 Center, LFE, and Surround Outputs
The audio outputs in Figure 4 drive the rear speakers (surround), center speaker (CNT), and subwoofer (LFE) in six channel applications. These
four outputs are driven digitally from the CS4202
through two serial output ports and converted to analog audio through two high-performance CS4334
24-bit stereo DACs.
2.4 Front Channel and Headphone Outputs
Figure 5 details the Headphone and Line Output
circuits. The Line Outputs are the main analog outputs in a two channel system, and become the Front
Outputs in a six channel audio system.
The CS4202 has a built in headphone amplifier on
pins 39 and 41. These outputs are capable of driving headphones with impedances as low as 32 Ω.
The headphone outputs are AC-coupled through
220 µF capacitors. These large capacitor values
create excellent low frequency response even under
32 Ω loads.
2.5 S/PDIF Optical Output
The S/PDIF (IEC-958) digital output shown in
Figure 6 is compatible with digital inputs on consumer devices such as Mini Disk recorders and
consumer stereo receivers. The S/PDIF output operates at a fixed sampling frequency of 48 kHz. It
uses an industry standard Toshiba TOTX-173 digital optical TOSLINK transmitter.
ed at OEMs, system manufacturers, and system integrators who wish take advantage of physically
separating their audio, modem, or LAN circuitry
from the PC motherboard. CNR accomplishes this
without the additional cost associated with the interface circuitry required for a PCI bus add-in card.
The CRD4202-1 uses the AC-Link, SMBus, and
power supply pins. The SMBus signals are connected to an AT24C02 EEPROM to provide Plugand-Play functionality for the CNR card. The EEPROM holds the Subsystem Vendor ID and Subsystem ID. It also contains other information for
implementing a Plug-and-Play CNR card. For additional information on the CNR design specifications, programming utilities, and information on
programming the EEPROM, visit the Intel
munications and Network Riser (CNR) homepage
at http://developer.intel.com/technology/cnr/.

2.7 Auto Demotion Circuit
The configuration of the codec on the CRD4202-1
will always be set as the primary audio codec.
However, it can automatically demote to secondary
in the presence of a motherboard codec when R54
ischangedto100kΩ (Figure 9). This feature is in
accordance with the AC '97 Codec Disable and De-
motion Rules.
2.8 Phase Locked Loop (Optional)
The internal ADCs, DACs, and AC-Link operate at
a fixed 48k Hz rate. The CS4202 is clocked by a
24.576 MHz (±50 PPM) crystal. Footprint Y2 is for
an optional surface mounted clock oscillator for
use with the Phase Locked Loop (PLL) feature of
the CS4202. Figure 8 shows the population options
for implementing the PLL that will convert various
clock rates to the required 24.576 MHz operating
speed.
2.6 CNR Connector and EEPROM
The CNR connector is shown in Figure 7. CNR is a
motherboard interface that supports audio, modem,
and LAN subsystems. CNR applications are target-

2.9 Component Selection
Great attention was given to the particular components used on the CRD4202-1 board with cost, per-
CRD4202-1
formance, and package selection as the most
important factors. Listed are some of the guidelines
used in the selection of components:
• No components smaller than 0805 SMT package.
• Only single package passive components. No
resistor packs. This reduces the risk of crosstalk
between analog audio signals.
• All components except connectors are in surface mount packages.
2.10 EMI Components
Optional capacitors or inductors may be included
to help the board meet EMI compliance tests, such
as FCC Part 15. Choose these component values
according to individual requirements.
3. GROUNDING AND LAYOUT
The component layout and signal routing of the
CRD4202-1 provide a good model for developing
new CNR add-in card designs.
3.1 Partitioned Voltage and Ground
Planes
It is critical for good audio performance to separate
digital and analog sections to prevent digital noise
from affecting the performance of the analog circuits. The analog section of the CRD4202-1 is
physically isolated from the digital section with a
0.10 inch partition. Partitioning is defined as the
absence of copper on all PCB signal layers. The analog and digital sections have their own separate
ground planes. All analog components, power traces, and signal traces are routed over the analog
ground plane. Digital components, power traces,
and signal traces are not allowed to crossover into
the analog section.
out. The analog and digital ground planes must be
tied together externally for the CS4202 to maintain
proper voltage references. For best results, the two
ground planes are tied together with a single 0.050
inch trace under the CS4202 near its digital ground
pins.
Data converters are generally susceptible to noise
on the crystal pins. In order to reduce noise from
coupling onto these pins, the area around the
24.576 MHz crystal and its signal traces are filled
with copper on the top and bottom of the PCB and
attached to digital ground.
A separate chassis ground provides a noise-free
reference point for all of the EMI suppression components. The chassis ground plane is connected to
the analog ground plane at the external jacks.
3.2 AC-Link
According to the AC '97 revision 2.2 specification,
the AC-Link signals can have a maximum capacitance (including traces, connectors, and circuitry)
of 47.5 pF on BIT CLK and SDATA_IN (assuming
a single codec). If this capacitance is exceeded,
timing violations may occur and cause the system
to malfunction. In order to avoid adding excessive
capacitance, do not add any EMI capacitors to
ground on any of the AC-Link lines. In addition,
keep the trace length of the AC-Link as short as
possible. Keeping the AC-Link trace length under 8
inches is strongly recommend.
3.3 CS4202 Layout Notes
Refer to the CS4202 Data Sheet for analog and digital partitioning guidelines and bypass capacitor
placement. Pay special attention to the location of
bypass capacitors on REFFLT, AFLT1, AFLT2,
and the placement of the power supply capacitors.
The CS4202 audio codec is placed at the transition
point between the analog and digital ground planes.
The codec pins are grouped into analog and digital
sections to help facilitate printed circuit board lay-
