2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
2.1Overview
The CS4294 is a Mixed-Signal Audio Codec based
on the AC ‘97 1.0 Specification, and the AC ‘97
2.0 Extensions. It is designed to be paired with a
digital controller, typically located on the PCI bus.
The Controller is responsible for all communications between the CS4294 and the rest of the system. The CS4294 functions as an analog mixer, a
stereo audio ADC, a stereo audio DAC, and a control and digital stream interface to the Controller.
The CS4294 contains three distinct functional sections: Digital, Analog Audio, and Extended Analog
Audio.
The Digital section includes the AC-Link registers,
power management support, SYNC detection circuitry, and AC-Link serial port interface logic. The
Analog Audio section includes the analog input
multiplexer (mux), stereo input mixer, stereo output mixer, stereo ADCs, stereo DACs, and analog
volume controls. The Extended Audio section includes dual ADCs, dual DACs, GPIO control and
status, and power down and wake-up logic.
2.2Modes of Operation
The CS4294 has two basic modes of operation.
Each mode allows varying functionality to meet a
wide variety of software and hardware configurations. On power up or system reset, the device reverts to the basic configuration Mode 0. The four
channel expansion and enhanced digital docking
are activate in Mode 1.
2.2.1Mode 0
This is the default operating mode for the CS4294.
It supports the legacy AC ‘97 audio modes of operation including audio mixer, ADC’s, and DAC’s.
2.2.2Mode 1
Mode 1 is the four channel expansion mode. The
second ADC/DAC pairs are utilized for enhanced
audio functionality. The second stereo DAC’s are
routed to the alternate line audio outputs providing
2 additional audio channels. The secondary ADC
inputs may be connected to the output of the analog
stereo input mixer for enhanced audio effect pr ocessing or enhanced digital docking in a note book
application.
3. DIGITAL SECTION
3.1AC-Link
All communication with the Codec is established
with a 5-wire digital interface to the Controller chip
as shown in Figure 7. All clocking for the serial
communication is synchronous to the BIT_CLK
signal. BIT_CLK is generated by the primary Codec and is used to slave the Controller and any secondary Codecs, if applicable. An AC-link audio
frame is a sequence of 256 serial bits organized into
13 groups referred to as ‘slots’. One frame consists
of one 16-bit slot and twelve 20-bit slots. During
each audio frame, data is passed bi-directionally
between the Codec and the Controller. The input
frame is driven from the Codec on the SDATA_IN
line. The output frame is driven from the Controller
SDATA_OUT line. Both input and output frames
contain the same number of bits and are organized
with the same ‘slot’ configuration. The input and
output frame have differing functions for each slot.
The Controller synchronizes the beginning of a
frame with the SYNC signal. In Figure 9 the position of each bit location within the frame is noted.
The first bit position in a new serial data frame is F0
and the last bit position in the serial data frame is
F255. When SYNC goes active (high) and is sampled active by the CS4294 (on the falling edge of
BIT_CLK), both devices are synchronized to a new
serial data frame. The data on the SDATA_OUT
pin at this clock edge is the final bit of the previous
frame’s serial data. On the next rising edge of
BIT_CLK, the first bit of Slot 0 is driven by the
Controller on the SDATA_OUT pin. The CS4294
latches in this data, as the first bit of the frame, on

The Controller is also responsible for issuing reset
via the RESET# signal. After being reset, the Codec is responsible for flagging the C ontroller that it
is ready for operation after synchronizing its internal functions. The AC-link signals may be referenced to either 5 Volts or 3.3 Volts. The CS4294
must use the same digital supply voltage as the
Controller chip.
3.2Control registers
All read accesses to the Codec are generated by requesting a register address (index number) in slot 1
of a SDATA_OUT frame. The following
SDATA_IN frame will contain the register content
in its slot 2. The write operation is identical with the
index in slot 1 and the write data in slot 2. The
AC ‘97 Frame Definition section details the function of each input and output frame. Individual register descriptions are found in the RegisterInterface section.
AC-97 Register Interface
The CS4294 implements the AC ’97 Registers in
accordance with the AC ’97 2.0 Specification. See
the Register Interface section for details on the
CS4294’s register set.

4.1Audio Output Mixer
The stereo output mixer sums together the analog
outputs from the Input Mixer, stereo enhancement,
and the PCM DAC output. The stereo output mix is
sent to the LINE_OUT and ALT_LINE_OUT output pins of the CS4294. When the device is set to
Mode 1 or the EAM bit in AC Mode Control (Index
5Eh) is set, the secondary DAC outputs are routed
to ALT_LINE_OUT.
4.2Audio Input Mux
The input multiplexer controls which analog input
is sent to the ADCs. The output of the input mux is
converted to stereo 18-bit digital PCM data and
sent to the Digital Controller chip in Slots 3 and 4
of the AC-Link SDATA_IN signal.
4.3Audio Input Mixer
The input mixer is an analog mix of the analog input signals such as MIC, LINE_IN, etc., and the
PCM Audio DAC output. The output of the mixer
is routed to the ADC Input Mux, Audio Output
Mixer, and may be routed to the Extended Audio
ADC input.
4.4Audio Volume Control
The volume control registers of the AC ’97 Register interface control analog input level to the input
mixer, the master volume level, and the alternate
volume level. All analog volume controls implement volume steps at nominally 1.5 dB per step.
The analog inputs allow a mixing range of +12 dB
of signal gain to -34.5 dB of signal attenuation. The
analog output volume controls allows from 0 dB to
-94.5 dB of attenuation.
5. AC ‘97
5.1AC ‘97 Frame Definition
The AC Link is a bi-directional serial port with
thirteen time-division multiplexed slots in each direction. The first slot is 16 bits long and termed the
tag slot. Bits in the tag slot determine if the Codec
is ready and indicate which, if any, other slots contain valid data. Slots 1 through 11 are 20-bits long
and can contain audio data. Slot 12 contains data to
be written and read from GPIO. The serial data line
is defined from the Controller’s perspective, NOT
from the Audio Codec’s perspective.
5.2AC-Link Serial Data Output Frame
In the serial data output frame, data is passed on the
SDATA_OUT pin TO the CS4294 FROM the
Controller. Figure 9 illustrates the serial port timing.

Determines if any of the following slots contain either valid playback data for the Codec’s DACs, data
for read/write operation, or GPIO data. When set, at least one of the other AC-link slots contain valid
data. If this bit is clear, the remainder of the frame is ignored.
Indicates valid slot data when accessing the register set of the primary Codec (SCRA[1:0] = 00). For a
read operation, Slot 1 Valid is set when Register Address (Slot 1) contains valid data. For a write oper-
ation, Slot 1 Valid and Slot 2 Valid are set indicating Register Address ( Slo t 1) and Register Write Data
(Slot 2) contain valid data. The register address and write data must be valid within the same frame.
SCRA[1:0] must be cleared when accessing the primary Codec. The physical address of a Codec is
determined by the ID[1:0]# input pins which are reflected in the Extended Audio ID (Index 28h) register
and the Extended Codec ID (Index 3Ch) register.
If a Slot Valid bit is set, the named slot contains valid audio data. If the bit is clear, the slot will be ignored.
The definition of each slot is determined by the basic operating mode selected for the CS4294. For more
information, see the AC Mode Control (Index 5Eh) register.
If Slot 12 Valid is set, Slot 12 contains valid write data for the GPIO pins.
accessing the register set of a secondary Codec. The value set in SCRA[1:0] (01,10,11) determines
which of the three possible secondary Codecs is accessed. For a read operation, the SCRA[1:0] bits
are set when Register Address (Slot 1) contains valid data. For a write operation, SCRA[1:0] bits are
set when Register Address (Slot 1) and Register Write Data (Slot 2) contain valid data. The write operation requires the register address and the write data to be valid within the same frame. SCRA[1:0] must
be cleared wh en acce ssing t he prima ry Code c. They must al so be cl eared du ring the idle perio d where
no register read or write is pending. The physical address of a Codec is determined by the ID[1:0]# input
pins which are reflected in the Extended Audio ID (Index 28h) register and the Extended Codec ID (In-
dex 3Ch) register. The SCRA[1:0] bits are listed as the ID[1:0] bits in Slot 0 in the AC ‘97 specification.

Cold Reset this bit will be clear. Once the CS4294’s clocks and voltages are stable, this bit will be set.
Until the Codec Ready bit is set, no AC-link transactions should be attempted by the Controller. The
Codec Ready bit does not indicate readiness of the DACs, ADCs, Vref, or any other analog function.
Those must be checked in the Power Down Control/Status (Index 26h), Extended Audio Stat/Ctrl (Index 2Ah), and Extended Codec Stat/Ctrl (Index 3Eh) registers by the Controller before any access is made
to the mixer registers. Any accesses to the Codec while Codec Ready is clear is ignored.

5.5.1Cold AC ‘97 Reset
A Cold Reset is performed by asserting RESET# in
accordance with the minimum timing specifications in the Serial Port Timing section. Once de-asserted, all of the Codec’s registers will be reset to
their default power-on states and the BIT_CLK
clock and SDATA_IN signals will be reactivated.
activated without losing information in the Codec’s
registers. Warm Reset is initiated when the SYNC
signal is driven high for at least 1 µs and then driven low in the absence of the BIT_CLK clock signal.
The BIT_CLK clock will not restart until at least 2
normal BIT_CLK clock periods (± 162.8 ns) after the SYNC signal is de-asserted.

5.5.3AC ’97 Register Reset
The third reset mode provides a register reset to the
CS4294. This is available only when the CS4294’s
AC-link is active and the Codec Ready bit is set.
The audio and extended codec subsections may be
reset independently. Any write to Reset (Index 00h)
register will reset the audio subsection while any
write to Extended Codec Stat/Ctrl (Index 3Eh) register will reset the Extended Codec subsection. See
the respective register descriptions for additional
information.
5.6AC-Link Protocol Violation - Loss of
SYNC
The CS4294 is designed to handle SYNC protocol
violations. The following are situations where the
SYNC protocol has been violated:
• The SYNC signal is not sampled high for
exactly 16 BIT_CLK clock cycles at the
start of an audio frame.
• The SYNC signal is not sampled high on
the 256th BIT_CLK clock period after
the previous SYNC assertion.
• The SYNC signal goes active high before
the 256th BIT_CLK clock period after
the previous SYNC assertion.
Upon loss of synchronization with the Controller,
the Codec will mute all analog outputs and clear the
Codec Ready bit in the serial data input frame until
two valid frames are detected. Duri ng this detection
period, the Codec will ignore all register reads and
writes and will discontinue the transmission of
PCM capture data.

The analog hardware consist of three line-level stereo inputs, one mono microphone input, and dual,
independent stereo line outputs. This section describes the analog hardware needed to interface
with these pins.
7.1Line-Level Inputs
The analog inputs consist of three stereo analog inputs and one mono input. As shown in Figure 8, the
input to the ADCs comes from the Input Mux
which selects one of the following: Mic1 (Mono),
CD, Aux, Line In, Stereo Input Mix, or the Mono
Input Mix (Mono). Unused analog inputs should be
connected together and then connected through a
capacitor to analog ground or tied to the Vrefout
line directly.
The analog input mixer is designed to accommodate four stereo inputs and one mono input. These
inputs are: a stereo line-level input (LINE), a mono
microphone input (MIC), a stereo CD-ROM input
(CD), a stereo auxiliary line-level input (AUX),
and the PCM output from the DACs (if the POP bit
is cleared). Each of the stereo inputs has separate
volume controls for each channel and one mute
control for each left/right pair. The mono microphone input has one mute and one volume control.
The inputs to the output mixer are: the input mixer
output, the stereo enhanced mix, and the DAC output (if the POP bit is set).
All analog inputs to the CS4294, including
CD_GND, should be capacitively coupled to the
input pins.
Since many analog levels can be as large as
2V
to attenuate the analog input by 6 dB (to 1 V
, the circuit shown in Figure 10 can be used
RMS
RMS)
which is the maximum voltage allowed for all the
stereo line-level inputs: LINE_IN and AUX_IN.
The CD line-level inputs have an extra pin,
CD_GND, which provides a pseudo-differential
input for both CD_L and CD_R. This pin takes the
common-mode noise out of the CD inputs when
connected to the ground coming from the CD analog source. Connecting the CD pins as shown in
Figure 11 provides extra attenuation of common
mode noise coming from the CDROM drive, thereby producing a higher quality signal. One percent
resistors are recommended since the better the resistors match, the better the common-mode attenuation of unwanted signals. If CD is not used, the
inputs should be connected through AC capacitors
to analog ground or connected to Vrefout.
7.2Microphone Level Inputs
The microphone level inputs include a selectable -
34.5 dB to +12 dB gain stage for interfacing to an
external microphone. An additional 20 dB gain
block is also available. Figure 12 illustrates a single-ended microphone input buffer circuit that will
support lower gain mics. The circuit in Figure 12
supports dynamic mics and phantom-powered mics
that use the right channel (ring) of the jack for power.

7.3Line Level Outputs
The analog output section provides a stereo linelevel output and an alternate stereo line-level output. LINE_OUT_L, LINE_OUT_R,
ALT_LINE_OUT_L, and ALT_LINE_OUT_R
outputs should be capacitively coupled to external
circuitry.
Each of the 4 analog outputs, if used in the design,
require 680 pF or larger NPO diele ctric capacitors
between the corresponding pin and AGND. Each
analog output is DC biased up to the Vrefout voltage signal reference which is nominally 2.2 V. This
requires that the output either be AC coupled to external circuitry (AC load must be greater than 10
kΩ) or DC coupled to a buffer op-amp biased at the
Vrefout voltage (see Figure 13 for the recommended headphone op-amp circuit).
7.4Miscellaneous Analog Signals
The AFILT1 and AFILT2 pins must have a
1000 pF NPO capacitor (must not be smaller than
390 pF) to analog ground. These capacitors, along
with an internal resistor, provide a single-pole lowpass filter at the inputs to the ADCs. By placing
these filters at the input to the ADCs, low-pass filters at each analog input pin are not necessary.
The REFFLT pin lowers the noise of the internal
voltage reference. A 1 µF (must not be greater than
1 µF) and 0.1 µF capacitor to analog ground should
be connected with a short, wide trace to this pin. No
other connection should be made, as any coupling
onto this pin will degrade the analog performance
of the Codec. Likewise, digital signals should be
kept away from REFFLT for similar reasons.
The Vrefout pin is typically 2.2 V and provides a
common mode signal for single-supply external
circuits. Vrefout only supports light DC loads and
should be buffered if AC loading is needed. For
typical use, a 0.1 µF in parallel with a 1 µF capacitor should be connected to Vrefout.

7.5Power Supplies
The power supplies providing analog power should
be as clean as possible to minimize coupling into
the analog section which could degrade analog performance. The pins AVdd1 and AVdd2 supply
power to all the analog circuitry on the CS4294.
This 5 Volt analog supply should be generated
from a voltage regulator (7805 type) connected to a
+12 Volt supply. This helps isolate the analog circuitry from noise typically found on +5 V digital
supplies which power many digital circuits in a PC
environment. A typical voltage regulator circuit for
analog power using an MC78M05CDT is shown in
Figure 14.
The digital power pins DVdd1 and DVdd2 should
be connected to the same digital supply as the AC
’97 Controller’s AC-Link interface. Since the digital interface on the CS4294 may operate at either
3.3 V or 5 V, proper connection of these pins will
depend on the digital power supply of the AC ’97
Controller. connections (vias). The AC-Link digital interface connection traces should be routed
such that digital ground plane lies underneath these
signals (on the internal ground layer) from the AC
’97 Controller continuously to the CS4294.

8.1Digital I/O Pins
RESET# - AC ’97 Chip Reset, Input
This active low signal is the asynchronous Cold Reset input to the CS4294. The CS4294 must
be reset before it can enter normal operating mode. When the PR4 bit of register 26h is set, the
RESET# rising edge will be used as an AC ‘97 2.1 Warm Reset only, preserving register
values.
SYNC - AC-link Serial Port Sync pulse, Input
This signal is the serial port timing signal for the AC-link of the CS4294. Its period is the
reciprocal of the sample rate of the CS4294, 48 kHz. This signal is generated by the AC ’97
Controller and is synchronous to BIT_CLK. SYNC is also an asynchronous input when the
CS4294 is in a PR4 powerdown state and is configured as a primary codec. A series
terminating resistor of 47 Ω should be connected on this signal close to the device driving the
signal.
DS326PP433
BIT_CLK - AC-link Serial Port Master Clock, Input/Outp ut
This input/output signal controls the master clock timing for the AC-link. In codec primary
mode, this signal is an output 12.288 MHz clock signal which is divided down by two from the
XTL_IN input clock pin. In codec secondary mode, this signal is an input which controls the
AC-link serial interface. In BIT_CLK mode, this signal generates all internal clocking
including the AC-link serial interface timing. A series terminating resistor of 47 Ω should be
connected on this signal close to the CS4294 in primary mode or close to the BIT_CLK source
if in secondary mode.
SDATA_OUT - AC-link Serial Data Input Stream to AC ‘97, Input
This input signal transmits the control information and digital audio output streams to be sent
to the DACs. The data is clocked into the CS4294 on the falling edge of BIT_CLK. A series
terminating resistor of 47 Ω should be connected on this signal close to the device driving the
input.
SDATA_IN - AC-link Serial Data Output Stream from AC ‘97, Output
This output signal transmits the status information and digital audio input streams from the
ADCs. The data is clocked out of the CS4294 on the rising edge of BIT_CLK. A series
terminating resistor of 47 Ω should be connected on this signal as close to the CS4294 as
possible.
CS4294
XTL_IN - Crystal Input
This pin accepts either a crystal, with the other pin attached to XTL_OUT, or an external
CMOS clock. XTL_IN must have a crystal or clock source attached for proper operation except
when operating in BIT_CLK mode. The crystal frequency must be 24.576 MHz and designed
for fundamental mode, parallel resonance operation.
XTL_OUT - Crystal Output
This pin is used for a crystal placed between this pin and XLT_IN. If an external clock is used
on XTL_IN or the codec is in BIT_CLK mode, this pin must be left floating with no traces or
components connected to it.
ID1#, ID0# - Codec ID, Inputs
These pins select the codec ID and mode of operation for the CS4294. They are sampled after
the rising edge of RESET# and not used after. These inputs have internal 100 kΩ pull-ups and
should be left floating for a logic 0 or tied to analog ground for a logic 1. The pins utilize
inverted logic, so the condition of both pins floating sets the codec to primary mode while any
other combination sets the codec to a secondary mode. In primary mode, the codec is always
clocked from an external crystal or an external oscillator connected to the XTL_IN and/or
XTL_OUT pins with BIT_CLK as an output. In secondary mode, the clocking mechanism is
determined by the state of the BCM# pin with BIT_CLK always being an input.
34DS326PP4
BCM# - BIT_CLK Mode, Input
This pin selects the secondary mode clocking mechanism. BCM# is sampled after the rising
edge of RESET# and not used after. In codec secondary mode (ID1# and or ID0# grounded),
grounding this input will select BIT_CLK mode. In this mode, BIT_CLK is defined as an input
and all internal timing will be derived from the BIT_CLK signal and no connections should be
made to XTAL_IN and XTAL_OUT. When BCM# is floating, all timing will be derived from
the XTAL_IN pin. In this case, XTAL_IN must be synchronous to BIT_CLK. In primary mode,
BCM# must be left floating.
GPIO[8:3] - General Purpose Input/Output
These GPIO pins are used to control discrete digital functions. When a GPIO pin is configured
as an input, it behaves as a Schmitt trigger input with 350 mV of hysteresis at 5 V and 220 mV
of hysteresis at 3.3 V. When a GPIO pin in configured as an output, it may function as a
normal CMOS output (4 mA drive) or as an open drain output. GPIO pins power up in the high
impedance state (tri-state).

required to either AC couple these pins to external circuitry or DC couple them to a buffer opamp biased at the Vrefout voltage. These pins need a 680 pF to 1000 pF NPO capacitor
attached to analog ground.
ALT_LINE_OUT_L and ALT_LINE_OUT_R - Analog Alternate Line Level Outputs
These signals are analog outputs from the stereo output mixer. The full scale output voltage for
each output is nominally 1 V
and is internally biased at the Vrefout voltage reference. It is
RMS
required to either AC couple these pins to external circuitry or DC couple them to a buffer opamp biased at the Vrefout voltage. These pins need a 680 pF to 1000 pF NPO capacitor
attached to analog ground.
8.3Filter and Reference Pins
REFFLT - Internal Reference Voltage, Input
RMS
This is the voltage reference used internal to the part. A 0.1 µF and a 1 µF (must not be larger
than 1 µF) capacitor with short, wide traces must be connected to this pin. No other
connections should be made to this pin.
Vrefout - Voltage Reference, Output
All analog inputs and outputs are centered around Vrefout which is nominally 2.2 Volts. This
pin may be used to level shift external circuitry, however any external loading should be
buffered.

These pins provide the digital supply voltage for the AC-link section of the CS4294. These pins
may be tied to +5 V digital or to +3.3 V digital. The CS4294 and digital controller’s AC-link
should share a common digital supply.
DVss1, DVss2 - Digital Ground
These pins are the digital ground connection for the AC-link section of the CS4294. These pins
should be isolated from analog ground currents.
AVdd1, AVdd2, AVdd3, AVdd4 - Analog Supply Voltage
These pins provide the analog supply voltage for the analog and mixed signal sections of the
CS4294. These pins must be tied to +5 V analog supply. It is strongly recommended that +5 V
be generated from a voltage regulator to ensure proper supply currents and noise immunity
from the rest of the system.
CS4294
AVss1, AVss2, AVss3, AVss4, AVss5 - Analog Ground
These pins are the ground connection for the analog, mixed signal, and substrate sections of the
