Decoding
and MPEG-2 Stereo Decoder
Description
The CS4923/4/5/6/7/8 is a family of multi-channel digital
audio decoders, with the exception of the CS4929 as the
only stereo digital audio decoder. The CS4923/4/5/6 are
designed for Dolby Digital and MPEG-2 Stereo decoding. In
addition the CS4925 adds MPEG-2 multi-channel decoding
capability and the CS4926 provides DTS decoding. The
CS4927 is an MPEG-2 multi-channel decoder and the
CS4928 is a DTS multi-channe l decoder. The CS492 9 is an
AAC 2-channel and MPEG-2 stereo decoder. Each one of
the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 provides a complete and flexible
solution for multi-channel (or stereo in the case of the
CS4929) audio decoding in home A/V receiver/amplifiers,
DVD movie players, out-board decoders, laser- disc players,
HDTV sets, head-end decoders, set-top boxes, and similar
products.

2.FAMILY OVERVIEW
The CS4923, CS4924, CS4925, CS4926, CS4927,
CS4928 and the CS4929 are system on a chip
solutions for multi-channel (or stereo in the case of
the CS4929) audio decompression and digital
signal processing. Because the parts are primarily
RAM-based, a download of application software is
required each time the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 is
powered up. This document uses “download” and
“code load” interchangeably. These terms should
be interpreted as meaning the transfer of
application code into the internal
CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 memory from either an
external microcontroller or through the autoboot
procedure.
This document focuses on the electrical features
and characteristics of these parts. The different
features are described from a hardware design
perspective. It should be understood that not all of
the features portrayed in this document are
supported by all of the versions of application code
available. The application user’s guides (see
section 2.2.2) should be consulted to confirm
which hardware features are supported by the
software. This document will be valuable to both
the hardware designer and the system programmer.
This data sheet covers the CS4923, CS4924,
CS4925, CS4926, CS4927, CS4928 and CS4929.
These parts are identical from an external electrical
perspective. Internally each device has been
tailored for supporting different decoding
standards. For this document CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9
has been replaced in certain places with CS492X
for readability. Unless otherwise specified
CS492X should be interpreted as applying to the
CS4923, CS4924, CS4925, CS4926, CS4927,
CS4928 and CS4929.
There are two revisions of silicon commercially
available. The features available on Revision D are
a super-set of those features available on Revision
B. Differences between the revisions are pointed
out when features are discussed within this
document. The silicon revision for any chip can be
determined by referencing Table 1 below.
These parts are generally targeted at two different
market segments. The broadcast market where
audio/video (A/V) synchronization is required, and
the outboard decoder markets where audio/video
synchronization is not required. The important
differentiation is the format in which the data will
be received by the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9. In systems
where A/V synchronization is required from the
CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9, the incoming data is typically
PES encoded. In an outboard decoder application
the data typically comes in the IEC61937 format
(as specified by the DVD consortium). An
important point to remember is that the
CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 will support both
environments, but different downloads are required
depending on the input data type.
Broadcast applications include (but are not limited
to) set top box applications, DVDs and digital TVs.
Outboard decoder applications include standalone
decoders and audio/video receivers. Often times a
system may be a hybrid between an outboard
decoder and a broadcast system depending on its
functionality.
As discussed above, compressed audio can be
packed in IEC61937, PES, or elementary formats
depending on the decoder environment. Each format is supported by a separate download of application code. Consult the relevant Application Code
20DS262F2
CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9
User’s Guide to determine which format s are supported by a particular application. A brief description of each format is presented below.
Elementary - an elementary bitstream consists only
of compressed audio data (e.g., strictly the Dolby
Digital bitstream); used primarily in broa dcast environments.
PES - a Packetized Elementary Stream (PES) bitstream contains the elementary compr essed audio
stream and additional header information which
can be used for A/V synchronization; used primarily in broadcast environments.
IEC61937 - a method of packing compressed audio
such that it can be delivered using a bi-phase encoded signal (e.g., S/PDIF output signal from DVD
player); used primarily for outboard decoders
where A/V synchronization is not required.
2.1 Multi-channel Decoder Family of Parts
CS4923 - Dolby Digital
CS4923 is the original member of the family and is
intended to be used if only Dolby Digital decoding
is required. For Dolby Digital, post processing
includes bass management, delays and Dolby Pro
Logic decoding. Separate downloads can also be
used to support stereo to 5.1 channel effects
processing and stereo MPEG decoding.
CS4924 - Dolby Digital
Decoder. The CS4924 is the stereo version of the
CS4923 designed for source products such as
DVD, HDTV, and set-top boxes. Separate
downloads are available for stereo decode of Dolby
Digital and MPEG audio.
CS4925 - International Multi-Channel DVD
Audio Decoder. The CS4925 supports both Dolby
Digital and MPEG-2 multi-channel formats. For
both Dolby Digital and MPEG-2 multi-channel,
post processing includes bass management and
Dolby Pro Logic decoding. Separate downloads are
available for decode of Dolby Digital and MPEG

audio. Another code load can be used to support
stereo to 5.1 channel effects processing.
CS4926 - DTS/Dolby® Multi-Channel Audio
Decoder. The CS4926 supports both Dolby Digital
and DTS, or Digital Theater Surround. For Dolby
Digital, post processing includes bass management
and Dolby Pro Logic. The Dolby Digital code and
DTS code take separate code downloads. Separate
downloads can also be used to support stereo to 5.1
channel effects processing and stereo MPEG
decoding.
CS4927 - MPEG-2 Multi-Channel Decoder. The
CS4927 supports MPEG-2 multi-channel decoding
and should be used in applications where Dolby
Digital decoding is not necessary. For MPEG-2
multi-channel decoding, post processing includes
bass management and Dolby Pro Logic decoding.
Another code load can be used to support stereo to
5.1 channel effects processing.
CS4928 - DTS Multi-Channel Decoder. The
CS4928 supports DTS multi-channel decoding and
should be used in applications where Dolby Digital
decoding is not necessary. For DTS multi-channel
decoding, post processing includes bass
management. Separate downloads can also be used
to support stereo to 5.1 channel effects processing
and stereo MPEG decoding.
CS4929 - AAC 2-Channel, (Low Complexity) and
MPEG-2 Stereo Decoder. The CS4929 is capable
of decoding both 2-channel AAC and MPEG-2
audio. The CS4929 supports elementary and PES
formats.
2.2 Document Strategy
Multiple documents are needed to fully define,
understand and implement the functionality of the
CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9. They can be split up into two
basic groups: hardware and application code
documentation. It should be noted that hardware
and application code are co-dependent and one can
not successfully use the device without an
DS262F221
CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9
understanding of both. The ‘ANXXX’ notation
denotes the application note number under which
the respective user’s guide was released.

3.TYPICAL CONNECTION
DIAGRAMS
Six typical connection diagrams have been
presented to illustrate using the device with the
different communication modes available. They
are as follows:
Figure 13: I2C Control
Figure 14: I2C Control with External Memory
Figure 15: SPI Control
Figure 16: SPI Control with External Memory
Figure 17: Intel Parallel Control Mode
Figure 18: Motorola Parallel Control Mode
The following should be noted when viewing the
typical connection diagrams:
The pins are grouped functionally in each of the
typical connection diagrams. Please be aware that
the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 symbol may appear
differently in each diagram.
The external memory interface is only supported
when a serial communication mode has been
chosen.
The typical connection diagrams demonstrate the
PLL being used (CLKSEL is pulled low). To
enable external CLKIN, CLKSEL should be pulled
high. The system designer must be aware that
certain software features may not be available if
external CLKIN is used as the DSP must run
slower when external CLKIN is use d. The system
designer should also be aware of additional duty
cycle requirements when using external CLKIN
mode. It is highly suggested that the system
designer take advantage of the PLL and pull
CLKSEL low.
3.1 Multiplexed Pins
The CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 family of digital signal
processors (DSPs) incorporate a large amount of
flexibility into a 44 pin package. Because of the
high degree of integration, many of these pins are
internally multiplexed to serve multiple purposes.
Some pins are designed to operate in one mode at
power up, and serve a different purpose when the
DSP is running. Other pins have functionality
which can be controlled by the application running
on the DSP. In order to better explain the behavior
of the part, the pins which are multiplexed have
been given multiple names. Each name is specific
to the pin’s operation in a particular mode.
An example of this would be the use of pin 20 in
one of the serial control modes. During the boot
period of the CS492X, pin 20 is called ABOOT.
ABOOT is sampled on the rising edge of RESET.
If ABOOT is high the host must download code to
the DSP. If ABOOT is low when sampled, the
CS492X goes into autoboot mode and loads itself
with code by generating addresses and reading data
on EMAD[7:0]. When the device has been loaded
with code and is running an application, however,
pin 20 is called INTREQ. INTREQ is an open drain
output used to inform the host that the DSP has an
outgoing message which should be read.
In this document, pins will be referred to by their
functionality. The section “Pin Descriptions” on
page 49 describes each pin of the CS492X and lists
all of its names. Please refer to the Pin Descriptions
section when exact pin numbers are in question.
The device has 12 general purpose input and output
(GPIO[11:0]) pins that all have multiple
functionality. While in one of the parallel
communication modes (see section 6.2), these pins
are used to implement the parallel host
communication interface. While in one of the serial
host modes these pins are used to implement an
external memory interface. Alternatively while in
one of the serial host modes these pins could be
used for another general purpose if the application
code has been programmed to support the special
purpose. In this document the pins are referenced
by the name corresponding to their particular use.
Sometimes GPIO[11:0], or some subset thereof, is
used when referring to the pins in a general sense.
DS262F223
CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9
3.2 Termination Requirements
The CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 incorporates open drain
pins which must be pulled high for proper
operation. INTREQ (pin 20) is always an open
drain pin which requires a pull-up for proper
operation. When in the I2C serial communication
mode, the SCDIO signal (pin 19) is open drain and
thus requires a pull-up for proper operation.
Due to the internal, multiplexed design of the pins,
certain signals may or may not require termination
depending on the mode being used. If a parallel
host communication mode is not being used,
GPIO[11:0] must be terminated or driven as these
pins will come up as high impedance inputs and
will be prone to oscillation if they are left floating.
The specific termination requirements may vary
since the state of some of the GPIO pins will
determine the communication mode at the rising
edge of reset (please see section 6 for more
information). For the explicit termination
requirements of each communication mode please
see the typical connection diagrams.
Generally a 4.7k Ohm resistor is recommended for
open drain pins while a 10k Ohm resistor is
sufficient for the GPIO pins and unused inputs.
3.3 Phase Locked Loop Filter
The internal phase locked loop (PLL) of the
CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 requires an external filter for
successful operation. The topology of this filter and
component values are shown in the typical
connection diagrams. Care should be taken when
laying out the filter circuitry to minimize trace
lengths and to avoid any close routing of high
frequency signals. Any noise coupled on to the
filter circuit will be directly coupled into the PLL,
which could affect performance.

CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9
4.POWER
The CS492X requires a 3.3V digital power supply
for the digital logic within the DSP and a 3.3V
analog power supply for the internal PLL. There
are three digital power pins, VD1, VD2 and VD3,
along with three digital grounds, DGND1, DGND2
and DGND3. There is one analog power pin, VA
and one analog ground, AGND. The DSP will
perform at its best when noise has been eliminated
from the power supply. The recommendations
given below for decoupling and power
conditioning of the CS492X will help to ensure
reliable performance.
4.1 Decoupling
It is good practice to decouple noise from the
power supply by placing capacitors directly
between the power and ground of the CS492X.
Each pair of power pins (VD1/DGND,
VD2/DGND, VD3/DGND, VA/AGND) should
have its own decoupling capacitors. The
recommended procedure is to place both a 0.1uF
and a 1uF capacitor as close as physically possible
to each power pin. The 0.1uF capacitor should be
closest to the device (typically 5mm or closer).
4.2 Analog Power Conditioning
In order to obtain the best performance from the
CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9’s internal PLL, the analog
power supply (VA) must be as clean as possible. A
ferrite bead should be used to filter the 3.3V power
supply for the analog portion of the CS492X. This
power scheme is shown in the typical connection
diagrams.
4.3 Pads
Revision D and all subsequent revisions
incorporate 5V tolerant pads. This means that while
the CS492X power supplies require 3.3 volts, 5 volt
signals can be applied to the inputs without
damaging the part.
The I/O pads for Revision B of the CS4923/4/5/6
are not 5 volt tolerant. Input levels for revision B of
the CS4923/4/5/6 should be no greater than 3.3
DS262F231
CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9
5.CLOCKING
Revision D of the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 also
incorporates a programmable phase locked loop
(PLL) clock synthesizer. The PLL takes an input
reference clock and produces all the internal clocks
required to run the internal DSP and to provide
master mode timing to the audio input/output
peripherals. The clock manager also includes a
33-bit system time clock (STC) to support audio
and video synchronization in broadcast
applications.
The PLL can be internally bypassed by connecting
the CLKSEL pin to VD. This connection
multiplexes the CLKIN pin directly to the DSP
clock. Care should be taken to note the minimum
CLKIN requirements when bypassing the PLL.
The PLL reference clock has three possible sources
that are routed through a multiplexer controlled by
the DSP: SCLKN2, SCLKN1, and CLKIN.
Typically, in audio/video environments like set-top
boxes, the CLKIN pin is connected to 27 MHz. In
other scenarios such as an A/V receiver design, the
PLL can be clocked through the CLKIN pin with
even multiples of the desired sampling rate or with
an already available clock source. CLKIN is
typically a multiple of a standard sampling
frequency in this scenario (e.g. 11.2896 MHz).
The clock manager is controlled by the DSP
application software. Please refer to the Hardware
User’s Guide for the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 (AN115)
and all relevant application code user’s guides for
information on supported CLKIN frequencies and
how to set up and control the internal PLL.
32DS262F2
CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9
6.CONTROL
Control of the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 can be
accomplished through one of four methods. The
CS492X supports I2C and SPI serial
communication. In addition the CS492X supports
both a Motorola and Intel byte wide parallel host
control mode. Only one of the four communication
modes can be selected for control. The states of the
RD, WR, and PSEL pins at the rising edge of
RESET determine the interface type as shown in
table 2.
RD
(Pin 5)WR(Pin 4)
1118-bit Motorola
1108-bit Intel
01X
10XSerial SPI
Whichever host communication mode is used, host
control of the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 is handled
through the application software running on the
DSP. Configuration and control of the CS492X
decoder and its peripherals are indirectly executed
through a messaging protocol supported by the
downloaded application code. In other words
successful communication can only be
accomplished by following the low level hardware
communication format and high level messaging
protocol. The specifications of the messaging
protocol can be found in any of the application
code user’s guides.
It should be noted that when using the CS4926 or
CS4928 for DTS decoding, an external memory
interface must be used for DTS tables that are
required for decoding. (see section 6.5 for
information on external memory). The external
memory interface and the parallel interface modes

CS4926 or CS4928 for DTS decode. An image of
the DTS tables is available from the factory.
Below is a brief discussion of each of the
communication modes available for the
CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9. For a complete description of
these communication modes along with flow
charts, pseudocode and restrictions, please consult
the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 Hardware User’s Guide. A
complete understanding of the decoder and its
operation can not be accomplished without
consulting the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 Hardware
User’s Guide and the application code user’s
guides.
6.1 Boot and Control Mode Overview
Regardless of which communication mode is used,
the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 must be booted and loaded
with code at run time. The general sequence from a
hardware perspective is as follows:
5) RESET Low
6) Set Communication Configuration Pins
7) RESET High
8) Download Code
9) Configure Hardware
10) Configure Application Code
11)Kickstart the Decoder
The host has three options for code download:
•Parallel Download through the parallel host interface
•Serial download through either the SPI or I2C
interface
•Autoboot with external memory when using a
serial communication mode.
Once again the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 Hardware
User’s Guide should be consulted for a complete
description of the boot and download procedure
including the necessary communication
handshaking. Hardware configuration is also
DS262F233
CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9
covered in the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 Hardware
User’s Guide. Application configuration is
described in the application code user’s guide for
the code being used.
6.2 Parallel Host Interface
The byte wide parallel host interface of the
CS492X supports application code download,
communication for hardware and application
configuration, compressed data input, and PCM
data input. When using either Intel or Motorola
modes, the parallel interface is implemented using
four 8-bit internal registers which are selectable
using inputs A1 and A0 as shown in table 3. Table
5 shows the individual registers and their bit
mapping.
In either the Intel or Motorola mode the INTREQ
pin can be used to interrupt the host when the DSP
has unsolicited outgoing messages to be read. For
specific details on the behavior of INTREQ in one
of the parallel modes, please see the
CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 Hardware User’s Guide.

6.2.1Intel Parallel Host Mode
Intel parallel host mode is accomplished with CS,
RD, WR, A[1:0], and DATA[7:0]. Table 4 shows
the pin name, pin description and pin number of
each signal on the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9. RD and
WR have no effect when CS is held high.
When the DSP writes a byte to the HOSTMSG
register, the HOUTRDY bit in the CONTROL
register is set to indicate that there is data to be
read. To initiate a read cycle the host should drive
CS low. When CS is low, RD becomes the output
enable for DATA[7:0]. When CS and RD are low,
the contents of register address A[1:0] are driven
on the DATA[7:0] bus. The address A[1:0] must be
valid a minimum time before either CS or RD goes
low. The HOUTRDY bit of the CONTROL
register is cleared after the host reads from the
HOSTMSG register.
Driving both CS and WR low begins an 8-bit write
cycle. The address A[1:0] must be valid a
minimum time before either CS or WR goes low.
On the first rising edge of CS or WR, the write
cycle ends and DATA[7:0] are latched internally
by the CS492X. Data must be held sufficiently to
satisfy the hold time as given in the timing se ction.
The HINBSY bit is set when the host writes the
HOSTMSG register. This bit is cleared when the
byte in the HOSTMSG register is read by the DSP.
During RESET low, all control signals have no
effect and DATA[7:0] are high impedance.

6.2.2Motorola Parallel Host Mode
Motorola parallel host mode is accomplished with
CS, DS, R/W, A[1:0], and DATA[7:0]. Table 6
shows the pin name, pin description and pin
number of each signal on the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9.
In Motorola host interface mode, the host interface
pins act as an active-low chip select, CS, an activelow data strobe, DS, and a R/W control signal.
Internally to the CS492X, DS and CS are logically
ANDED. Therefore, in some cases, DS and CS can
be externally tied together with a common activelow strobe. Otherwise, in long decoder delay
scenarios, read or write cycles can be terminated
earlier by connecting the microprocessor activelow data-strobe signal to the CS492X DS and a
delayed final active-low chip select independently
to the CS pin.
When the DSP writes a byte to the HOSTMSG
register, the HOUTRDY bit in the CONTROL
register is set to indicate that there is data to be
read. During read cycles, DATA[7:0] are driven
when R/W is high and DS and CS are both low.
DATA[7:0] are released with the earliest of CS or
DS going high. The HOUTRDY bit of the
CONTROL register is cl eared after the host reads
from the HOSTMSG register.
Write cycles occur with R/W low followed by DS
and CS both going low. The A[1:0] address pins
select the specific address of the register to be
written and DATA[7:0] carry the data to be written.
For write cycles, the first of CS and DS going high
latches data. Data must be held sufficiently to
satisfy the hold time as given in t h e timing se c tion.
The HINBSY is set when the host writes the
HOSTMSG register. This bit is cleared when the
byte in the HOSTMSG is internally read by the
DSP.

6.3 SPI Serial Host Interface
For SPI communications, the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9
always acts as a slave. Se rial SPI communication
with the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 is accomplished with
5 communication lines: CS, SCCLK, SCDIN,
SCDOUT and INTREQ. Table 7 shows the pin
name, pin description and pin number of each
signal on the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9. CS is an active
low chip select and must be held low for writes to
and reads from the part. SCCLK is an input to the
CS492X that clocks data in and out of the device on
its rising edge. SCDIN is the data input and should
be valid on the rising edge of SCCLK. SCDOUT is
the data output and will be valid on the rising edge
of SCCLK. INTREQ is an open drain, active-low
interrupt request signal that is driven low by the
CS492X when there is data to be read out.

CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9
6.3.1SPI Write
When writing to the device in SPI, the same
protocol can be used for sending a byte, a word or
an entire download image as long as transfers occur
on byte boundaries. Figure 19 illustrates the
relative timing necessary for a three byte transfer to
the CS492X. The host initiates an SPI write by
driving CS low, followed by a 7-bit address and the
read/write bit set low to indicate a write. The
CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 internal 7-bit address is
initially assigned to 000 0000b following a reset.
The 7-bit address sent to the CS492X must match
its internal address or the incoming data will be
ignored. Address checking can be changed (either
disabled or an actual address change) if desired.
Address checking configuration is documented in
the hardware configuration section of the
CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 Hardware User’s guide.
Data should be shifted into the CS492X most
significant bit first with data being valid at the
rising edge of SCCLK. It should be noted that data
is internally transferred to the DSP on the falling
edge of the eighth SCCLK after the eighth data bit
of a byte. For this reason SCCLK must transition
from high to low on the last bit of each byte or a
loss of data will occur. If this final transfer of
SCCLK does not occur the final byte will be lost
and successful communication will not be possible.
6.3.2SPI Read
The CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 will always indicate that it
has data to be read by asserting the INTREQ line
low. The host must recognize the request and start
a read transaction with the CS492X. The same
protocol will be used whether reading a byte or
multiple bytes. Figure 19 also illustrates the
relative timing of a three byte SPI read.
The host initiates an SPI read by driving CS low,
followed by a 7-bit address and the read/write bit
set high to indicate a read. The CS492X internal 7bit address is initially assigned to 000 0000b
following a reset. The 7-bit address sent to the
CS492X must match its internal address or the
incoming data will be ignored. Address checking
can be disabled or the actual address can be
changed if desired. Address checking
configuration is documented in the hardware
configuration section of the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9
Hardware User’s guide.
After the address byte the host should clock data
out of the device one byte at a time until INTREQ
is no longer low. The host shifts data using the
rising edge of SCCLK. The data is valid on the
rising edge of SCCLK and transitions occur on the
falling edge. In SPI mode, the INTREQ pin is
deasserted immediately following the rising edge
of the second-to-last data bit of the current byte
being transferred if there is no more data to be read.
The INTREQ pin is guaranteed to stay deasserted
(high) until the rising edge of SCCLK for the last
data bit.
If there is more data to be read from the DSP before
the rising edge of SCCLK for the second-to-last
data bit, then INTREQ remains asserted low.
Immediately following the falling edge of SCCLK
for the last data bit of the current byte, the next data
byte loads into the internal serial shift register. The
host should continue to read this new byte. It is
important to note that once the data is in the shift
register, clocks on the SCCLK line shift the data
bits out of the shift register as long as CS is low.

critical additional comments on INTREQ behavior

Guide.

6.4 I2C Serial Host Interface
For I2C communications the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9
always acts as a slave. Serial I2C communication
with the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 is accomplished with
3 communication lines: SCCLK, SCDIO and
INTREQ. Table 8 shows the mnemonic, pin name,
and pin number of each signal on the
CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9. SCCLK is an input to the
CS492X that clocks data in and out of the device on
its rising edge. It should be noted that the timing
specifications for SCCLK are more stringent than
certain I2C requirements so care should be taken
that the rise and fall specifications for SCCLK are
met as stated in the ti ming portion of this data sheet.
SCDIO is a bidirectional data line whose data must
be valid on the rising edge of SCCLK. INTREQ is
an open drain, active-low request signal that is
driven low by the CS492X when there is data to be
read out.
the actual address can be changed if desired.
Address checking configuration is documented in
the hardware configuration section of the
CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 Hardware User’s guide. After
the address byte the host should then clock an
acknowledge (ACK) from the part. During a write,
an ACK is defined as SCDIO being driven low by
the CS492X for one SCCLK period after each byte.
Data should be shifted into the CS492X most
significant byte first with data being valid at the rising
edge of SCCLK. The host should then clock out the
acknowledge (ACK bit) bit from the CS492X. After
the last byte to be sent is acknowledged, the host
should send an I2C stop condition, which is defined as
the rising edge of SCDIO while SCCLK is held high.
If the CS492X fails to acknowledge a byte, the host
should re-transmit the same byte. If the CS492X
does not acknowledge back to back bytes, then the
host should reset the part.

6.4.1I2C Write
When writing to the device in I2C, the same
protocol can be used for sending a byte, a word or
an entire download image as long as transfers occur
on byte boundaries. Figure 20 illustrates the
relative timing necessary for a three byte transfer to
the CS492X. The host initiates a transfer with an
I2C start condition followed by a 7-bit address and
the read/write bit set low to indicate a write. The
start condition is defined as the SCDIO falling with
SCCLK held high. The CS492X internal 7-bit
address is initially assigned to 000 0000b following
a reset. The 7-bit address sent to the CS492X must
match its internal address or the incoming data will
be ignored. Address checking can be disabled or
6.4.2I2C Read
The CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 will always indicate that it
has data to be read by asserting the INTREQ line
low. The host must recognize the request and start a
read transaction with the CS492X. The same
protocol will be used whether reading a byte or
multiple bytes. Figure 20 also illustrates the relative
timing of a three byte I2C read.
The host initiates a read with an I2C start condition
followed by a 7-bit address and the read/write bit set
high for a read. The start condition is defined as the
SCDIO falling with SCCLK held high. The CS492X
internal 7-bit address is initially assigned to 000
0000b following a reset. The 7-bit address sent to the
CS492X must match its internal address or the
incoming data will be ignored. Address checking
can be disabled or the actual address can be changed
if desired. Address checking configuration is
documented in the hardware configuration section
of the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 Hardware User’s guide.

Following the address byte the host must clock out
an acknowledge from the part.
After the address byte, the host should clock out data
from the device one byte at a time until INTREQ is
no longer low. The host shifts data using the rising
edge of SCCLK. The data is valid on the rising edge
of SCCLK and transitions on the falling edge. After
each byte the host must send an acknowledge (ACK)
to the CS492X. While reading from the CS492X, an
acknowledge is defined as SCDIO being driven low
by the host for one SCCLK period after each byte. In
I2C mode, the INTREQ pin is deasserted
immediately following the rising edge of the last
data bit of the current byte being transferred if there
is no more data to be read. The INTREQ pin is
guaranteed to stay deasserted (high) until the rising
edge of SCCLK for the acknowledge bit.

and critical additional information on INTREQ
behavior reference the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9
Hardware User’s Guide.
6.5 External Memory
If using one of the serial modes, i.e. SPI o r I2C, the
system designer has the option of using external
memory. The external memory interface is not
compatible with the parallel modes since there are
shared pins that are needed by each mode. If using
the CS4926 or CS4928 for DTS decode, external
memory is required for external DTS tables.
The external memory interface is implemented on
the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 with the following signals:
EMAD[7:0], EXTMEM and EMOE. Table 9 shows
the pin name, pin description and pin number of each
signal on the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8 /9. EMAD[7:0] serve
as a multiplexed address and data bus. EMOE is an
active-low external-memory data output enable as
well as the address latch strobe. EXTMEM serves as
the active low chip select output. Figure 21 illustrates
one possible external memory architecture for the
CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9. Figure 22 shows the functional
timing of a run-time memory access .

The external memory interface was designed
primarily for two purposes: 1) Autoboot and/or 2)
real time external data access. The hardware
implementation for either mode can be the same but
the ROM access time requirements may differ. The
CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 Hardware User’s Guide should
be referenced for more information including
memory paging options to support both autoboot and
real time access as well as ROM speed requirements.
The external memory address is capable of addressing
between 64 kilobytes and 16 megabytes through a 16
to 24 bit addressing scheme. The address comes from
the DSP writing two or three initial bytes of address
consecutively on EMAD[7:0]. Each byte of address is
externally latched with the rising edge of EMOE while
EXTMEM is high. After the 2 or 3-byte address is
latched externally, the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 then drives
EXTMEM and EMOE low simultaneously to select
the external memory. During this time the data is read
by the CS492X.

CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9
Although the memory can use more address bits,
typically only 16 bits of address space are used. For
this reason the memory example shown
incorporates a 2 latch memory architecture.
The two latch external memory architecture is
required for the CS4926 or CS4928 when using
DTS. A three latch architecture can not be used
with the CS4926 or CS4928 running DTS since the
run time memory access uses only 2 address cycles.
6.5.1External Memory and Autoboot
To configure the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 to
automatically load its code from external memory,
the ABOOT signal should be driven low at the
rising ed ge of RESET. Once agai n this mode can
only be chosen if either SPI or I2C serial
communication is being used. In serial control port
mode, holding the ABOOT pin low as the CS492X
leaves the reset state enables an automatic boot.
ABOOT can be released following the rising edge
of RESET. During the automatic boot cycle, the
serial control port should remain idle. Figure 23
shows an autoboot functional timing example.
The autoboot cycle actually is a 24 bit, or three
address byte cycle. It should be noted that for
autoboot, the most significant byte is always zero.
For this reason a two latch external memory
configuration can be used for autoboot. The higher
order address byte simply shifts out of the memory
latch and is discarded. If desired, a three latch
interface could also be used with the
CS4923/4/5/7/9 but it is not necessary.
For more information about autoboot and for a
thorough description of different external memory
architectures, reference the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9

7.DIGITAL INPUT & OUTPUT
The CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 supports a wide variety of
data input and output mechanisms through various
input and output ports. Hardware availability is
entirely dependent on whether the software
application code being used supports the required
mode. This data sheet presents most of the modes
available with the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 hardware.
This does not mean that all of the modes are
available with any particular piece of application
code. Both the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 Hardware
User’s Guide and the application code user’s guide
for the particular code being used should be
referenced to determine if a particular mode is
supported.
7.1 Digital Audio Formats
This subsection will describe some common audio
formats that the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 supports. It
should be noted that the input ports use up to 24-bit
PCM resolution and 16-bit compressed data word
lengths. The output port of the CS492X provides
up to 20-bit PCM resolution.
I2S: Figure 24 shows the I2S format. For I2S, data is
presented most significant bit first, one SCLK
delay after the transition of LRCLK and is valid on
the rising edge of SCLK. For the I2S format, t he left
subframe is presented when LRCLK is low and the
right subframe is presented when LRCLK is high.
SCLK is required to run at a frequency of 48Fs or
greater on the input ports.
Left Justified: Figure 25 shows the left justified
format with a rising edge SCCLK. Data is
presented most significant bit first on the first
SCLK after an LRCLK transition and is valid on
the rising edge of SCLK. For the left justified
format, the left subframe is presented when
LRCLK is high and the right subframe is presented
when LRCLK is low. The left justified format can
also be programmed for data to be valid on the
falling edge of SCLK. SCLK is required to run at a
frequency of 48Fs or greater on the input ports.
Right Justified: Figure 26 shows the right justified
format. The right justified format is similar to the
left justified format except the least significant bit
is right justified to be valid on the last transition of
SCLK before an LRCLK transition. Data is still
presented most significant bit first. For the right
justified format, the left subframe is presented
when LRCLK is high and the right subframe is
presented when LRCLK is low. The right justified
format can also be programmed for data being valid
on the falling edge of SCLK. SCLK is required to
run at a frequency of 48Fs or greater on the input
ports.
Multi-Channel: Figure 27 shows the multichannel format. In this format up to 6 channels of
audio are presented on one data line with 20 bits per
channel. Channels 0, 2, and 4 are presented while
the LR-CLK is high and channels 1, 3, 5 are
presented while the LRCLK is low. Data is valid on
the rising edge of SCLK and is presented most
significant bit first.
Because each of the ports is fully configurable,
there may be modes that can be supported which
are not presented.

7.2 Digital Audio Input Port
The digital audio input port, or DAI, is used for
both compressed and PCM digital audio data input.
In addition this port supports a special clocking
mode in which a clock can be input to directly drive
the internal 33 bit counter. Table 10 shows the pin
names, mnemonics and pin numbers associated
with the DAI.
Pin Name Pin DescriptionPin Number
SDATAN1Serial Data In22
SCLKN1Serial Bit Clock25
LRCLKN1Frame Clock26
Table 10. Digital Audio Input Port
The DAI can be programmed to support I2S, left
justified and right justified data input. In addition
the DAI can be programmed for slave clocks,
where LRCLKN1 and SCLKN1 are inputs, or
master clocks, where LRCLKN1 and SCLKN1 are
outputs. In order for clocks to be master, the
internal PLL must be used.
STCCLK2 can also be programmed to drive the
internal 33 bit counter. This counter would
typically be driven by a 90kHz clock. The internal
counter is used by certain application code for
audio/video synchronization purposes.
7.3 Compressed Data Input Port
The compressed data input port, or CDI, can be
used for both compressed and PCM data input.
Table 11 shows the mnemonic, pin name and pin
number of the pins associated with the CDI port on
the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9.

The CDI can be configured to support I2S, left
justified and right justified formats. The CDI can
also be programmed for slave clocks, where
LRCLKN2 and SCLKN2 are inputs, or master
clocks, where LRCLKN2 and SCLKN2 are
outputs. In order for clocks to be mastered, the
internal PLL must be used.
In addition the CDI can be configured for bursty
compressed data input. Bursty audio delivery is a
special format in which only clock (CMPCLK) and
data (CMPDAT) are used to deliver compressed
data to the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 (i.e. no frame clock
or LRCLK). A third line, CMPREQ, is used to
request more data from the host. It is an indicator
that the CS492X internal FIFO is low on data and
can accept another burst. Typically this mode is
used for compressed data delivery where
asynchronous data transfer occurs in the system,
i.e. in a system such as a set-top box or HDTV.
PCM data can not be presented in this mode since
data is interpreted as a continuous stream with no
word boundaries.
7.4 Parallel Digital Audio Data Input
If using the Intel or Motorola P arallel host interface
mode, the system designer can also choose to
deliver data through the byte wide parallel port.
The compressed data input register receives bytes
of data when the host interface writes to address
11b (A1 and A0 are both high). The host interface
port also utilizes the CMPREQ pin and the MFB
and MFC flags in the CONTROL register, which
are configurable to supply a data request flag at
different input buffer thresholds. CMPREQ acts as
an almost full flag. The CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 can
safely receive different size blocks of data
depending on the level of the input buffer
threshold. The threshold level is programmable and
the default level may differ between applications.
This mode reduces the polling burden associated
with hand-feeding the compressed data.
46DS262F2
CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9
In parallel host mode, the CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 can
accept PCM data written through the byte-wide
host interface to address 10b (A1 high, A0 low). In
this mode, there is a close connection between the
CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 application code and the host
processor that is delivering the PCM data. The
PCMRST bit of the CONTROL register provides
absolute software/hardware synchronization by
initializing the input channel to uniquely recognize
the first write to the byte-wide PCMDATA port.
Toggling PCMRST high and low informs the DSP
that the next sample read from the PCMDATA port
is the first sample of the left channel. In this
fashion, the CS492X can translate successive byte
writes into a variable number of channels with a
variable PCM sample size. In the mos t simple case,
the CS492X can receive stereo 8-bit PCM one byte
at a time with the internal DSP assigning the first
8-bit write (after PCMRST) to the left channel and
the second 8-bit write to the right channel. For
16-bit PCM, it assigns the first two 8-bit writes
(after PCMRST) to the left channel and the next
two writes to the right channel.
7.5 Digital Audio Output Port
The Digital Audio Output port, or DAO, is the port
used for digital output from the DSP. Table 12
shows the signals associated with the DAO. As
there are many modes that are firmware
configurable on the DAO, please consult the
Hardware User’s Guide and the application code
user’s guides to determine which modes are
supported by the download code being used.

Table 12. Digital Audio Output Port
MCLK is the master clock and is firmware
configurable to be either an input or an output. If
MCLK is to be used as an output, the internal PLL
must be used. As an output MCLK can be
configured to provide a 128Fs, 256Fs or 512Fs
clock, where Fs is the output sample rate.
SCLK is the bit clock used to clock data out on
AUDATA0, AUDATA1 and AUDATA2. LRCLK
is the data framing clock whose frequency is
typically equal to the sampling frequency. Both
LRCLK and SCLK can be configured as either
inputs (Slave mode) or outputs (Master mode).
When LRCLK and SCLK are configured as inputs,
MCLK is a don’t care as an input. When LRCLK
and SCLK are configured as outputs, they are
derived from MCLK. Whether MCLK is
configured as an input or an output, an internal
divider from the MCLK signal is used to produce
LRCLK and SCLK. The ratios shown in table 13
give the possible SCLK values for different MCLK
frequencies (all values in terms of the sampling
frequency, Fs).

AUDAT0 is configurable to provide six, four, or
two channels. AUDAT1 and AUDAT2 can both
output two channels of data. Typically all three
AUDAT outputs are used in left justified, I2S or
right justified modes. In this way all six channels of
surround (Left, Center, Right, Left Surround, Right
Surround and Subwoofer) are provided.
Alternatively the multi-channel mode can be
configured to provide single data line multichannel support. Please consult the Hardware
User’s Guide and the application code user’s

the download code being used.
Serial digital audio data bit placement and sample
alignment is fully configurable in the
CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 including left justified, right
justified, delay bits or no delay bits, variable
sample word sizes, variable output channel count,
and programmable output channel pin assignments
and clock edge polarity to integrate with most
digital audio interfaces. If a mode is needed which
is not supported, please consult your Crystal
Representative as to its availability.
7.5.1IEC60958 Output
The XMT958 output provides a CMOS level bi
phase encoded output. The XMT958 function can
be internally clocked from the PLL or from an
MCLK input if MCLK is 256Fs or 512Fs. All
channel status information can be used when using
software which supports this functionality. This
output can be used for either 2 channel PCM output
or compressed data output in accordance with
IEC61937. To be fully IEC60958 compliant this
output would need to be buffered through an
RS422 device or an optocoupler as its outputs are
only CMOS. Please consult the
CS4923/4/5/6/7/8/9 Hardware User’s Guide and an
application code user’s guide to determine if this
pin is supported by the download code being used.
