General Description

The CS8427 is a stereo digital audio transceiver with AES3 and serial digital audio inputs, AES3 and serial digital audio outputs, and includes comprehensive control ability through a 4-wire microcontroller port. Channel status and user data are assembled in block-sized buffers, making read/modify/write cycles easy.

A low-jitter clock recovery mechanism yields a very clean recovered clock from the incoming AES3 stream.

Target applications include A/V receivers, CD-R, DVD receivers, multimedia speakers, digital mixing consoles, effects processors, set-top boxes, and computer and automotive audio systems.

The CS8427 is available in 28-pin SOIC and TSSOP packages in Commercial (-10°C to +70°C) and Automotive (-40°C to +85°C) grades. The CDB8427 Customer Demonstration Board is also available for device evaluation and implementation suggestions. Please see “Ordering Information” on page 49 for complete details.

Notes: 14. If Fso or Fsi is lower than 46.875 kHz, the maximum CCLK frequency should be less than 128 Fso and

Access to the control register file can be carried out at the full 6 MHz rate. The minimum allowable input sample rate is 8 kHz, so choosing CCLK to be less than or equal to

1.024 MHz should be safe for all possible conditions.

3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The CS8427 is an AES3 transceiver intended to be used in digital audio systems. Such systems include digital mixing consoles, effects processors, digital recorders, and computer multimedia systems.

3.1 Audio Input/Output Ports

The CS8427 has the following Audio ports:

• Serial Audio Input Port

• Serial Audio Output Port

• AES3 or S/PDIF Receiver

• AES3 or S/PDIF Transmitter

The Serial Audio ports use a three-wire format. This consists of a serial audio data stream, a leftright clock defining the boundaries of the audio sample frames, and a serial clock signal clocking the data bits.

A Serial Audio port may operate in either Master or Slave mode. When a port is a Master, it supplies the left-right clock and the serial clock to the nal device that is sending or receiving the serial data A port in slave mode must have its left-right clock and its serial clock supplied by an external device so that it may send or receive serial audio data.

The input sample rate is determined by the stream applied to the Serial Audio Input or to the AES3 Receiver. A phase-locked loop recovers RMCK, the input master clock signal, from the chosen input stream.

The output from the device may be through the Serial Audio Output, the AES3 Transmitter, or from both simultaneously. In some configurations, all audio ports of the device may be in use at the same time.

exter-

3.2 Serial Control Port

Besides the functional blocks already described, the device also has a control port that allows the user to read and write the control registers that configure the part. The control port is capable of operating in either SPI or I²C serial mode. This port also has access to buffer memory that allows the user to control what is transmitted in the Channel Status and User bits of the outgoing AES3 stream.

The control port is clocked by the serial clock signal that the user's microcontroller sends it. The MCU can read and write the registers even when the RMCK and OMCK clocks are not running. The Channel Status and User bit buffer memories depend on clocking from RMCK and OMCK. They will not function unless the clocks are running, and the RUN bit in the Clock Source Control register is set.

There is also an interrupt signal associated with the Serial Control Port and the internal registers. The format of the interrupt may be chosen by a register setting. There are two interrupt status registers and their associated interrupt mask registers.

3.3 Channel Status and User bit Memory

The memory architecture consists of three buffers to handle the Channel Status information, and another three buffers to handle the User bits. The data recovery logic extracts the Channel Status and User bits from the AES3 stream and places them in their respective D buffers. Each buffer contains 384 bits.

This is enough memory to hold a complete block of

Channel Status bits from both A and B channels and a complete block of User bits.

When the D buffers are full, the chip transfers their contents into the E buffers. While in the E buffers the Channel Status and User bits may be read or written through the control port. This allows the user to alter them to suit the needs of the application. The control bit BSEL, in the Channel Status Data Buffer Control register, determines whether the control port has access to the Channel Status bits or the User bits. The AES3 encoder reads the Channel Status and User bits from the F buffers and inserts them into the outgoing AES3 stream. After the F buffers bits are transmitted, the device transfers the current contents of the E buffers into the F buffers.

In applications using AES3 in and AES3 out, the CS8427 can automatically transceive user data that conforms to the IEC60958 format. The CS8427 also gives the user access to the bits necessary to comply with the serial copy management system (SCMS).

In applications where the user want to read/modify/write the Channel Status information that requires a microcontroller to actively manage the

3.4 AES3 and S/PDIF Standards

This data sheet assumes that the user is familiar with the AES3 and S/PDIF data formats. It is advisable to have current copies of the AES3 and IEC60958 specifications on hand for easy reference.

The latest AES3 standard is available from the Audio Engineering Society or ANSI at www.aes.org or

www.ansi.org. Obtain the latest IEC60958 stan-

dard from ANSI or from the International Electrotechnical Commission at www.iec.ch. The latest

Crystal Application Note AN22: Overview of Digital Audio Interface Data Structures contains a useful tutorial on digital audio specifications, but it should not be considered a substitute for the standards.

The paper, An Understanding and Implementation

of the SCMS Serial Copy Management System for Digital Audio Transmission, by Clifton Sanchez, is

an excellent tutorial on SCMS. It is available from the AES as preprint 3518.

4. DATA I/O FLOW AND CLOCKING OPTIONS

The CS8427 can be configured for several connectivity alternatives, called data flows. Figure 7. “Soft-

ware Mode Audio Data Flow Switching Options” on page 19 shows the data flow switching, along with

the control register bits which control the switches; this drawing only shows the audio data paths for simplicity. This drawing only shows the audio data paths for simplicity. Figure 8 shows the internal

clock routing and the associated control register bits. The clock routing constraints determine which data routing options are actually usable. Users should note that not all the possible data flow switch setting combinations are valid, because of the clock distribution architecture.

The AESBP switch, shown in Figure 7, allows a TTL level bi-phase, mark-encoded data stream connected to RXP to be routed to the TXP and TXN pin drivers. The TXOFF switch causes the TXP and TXN outputs to be driven to ground.

There are two possible clock sources. The first, designated the recovered clock, is the output of the PLL, and is output through the RMCK pin. The input to the PLL can be either the incoming AES3 data stream or the ILRCK word rate clock from the serial audio input port. The second clock is input through the OMCK pin and would normally be a crystal derived stable clock. The Clock Source Control Register bits determine which clock is used to operate the CS8427.

The CS8427 has another constraint related to the state machine that governs the startup of the part. The startup state machine doesn’t complete its

process until the PLL has locked unless one is in the transmitter dataflow (See Figure 10). The consequence of this is that the transmitter will not transmit until the PLL has locked. If you wish to use the part in transceiver mode and this constraint is a problem, there is a work around. Start the part up in its default configuration and allow the PLL to lock to a signal on the ILRCK pin, then without stopping the part, reconfigure it to the transceiver mode.

By studying the following drawings and appropriately setting the Data Flow Control and Clock Source Control register bits, the CS8427 can be configured to fit a variety of customer requirements. Please note that applications implementing both the Serial Audio Output Port and the AES3 Transmitter must operate at the same sample rate because they are both controlled by the same clock source.

PLL generated recovered clock. Figure 10 illustrates a standard AES3 receiver function. Figure

without PLL. Figure 12 shows a standard AES3 transmitter function with PLL.

5. THREE-WIRE SERIAL AUDIO PORTS

A 3-wire serial audio input port and a 3-wire serial audio output port is provided. Each port can be adjusted to suit the attached device by setting the control registers. The following parameters are adjustable: master or slave, serial clock frequency, audio data resolution, left or right justification of the data relative to left/right clock, optional 1-bit cell delay of the 1st data bit, the polarity of the bit clock, and the polarity of the left/right clock. By setting the appropriate control bits, many formats are possible.

Figure 15 shows a selection of common input for-

mats, along with the control bit settings. It should be noted that in right justified mode, the serial audio output data is “MSB extended”. This means that in a sub-frame where the MSB of the data is '1', all bits preceding the MSB in the sub-frame will also be '1'. Conversely, in a sub-frame where the MSB of the data is '0', all bits preceding the MSB in the sub-frame will also be '0'.

The clocking of the input section of the CS8427 may be derived from the incoming ILRCK word rate clock, using the on-chip PLL. The PLL operation is described in “AES3 Receiver” on page 16. In the case of use with the serial audio input port, the PLL locks onto the leading edges of the ILRCK clock.

Figure 16 shows a selection of common output for-

mats, along with the control bit settings. A special AES3 direct output format is included, which allows serial output port access to the V, U, and C bits embedded in the serial audio data stream. The P bit is replaced by a Z bit that marks the subframe just prior to the start of each block. This format is only available when the serial audio output port is being clocked by the AES3 receiver recovered clock.

In master mode, the left/right clock and the serial bit clock are outputs, derived from the appropriate clock domain master clock.

In slave mode, the left/right clock and the serial bit clock are inputs. The left/right clock must be synchronous to the appropriate master clock, but the serial bit clock can function in asynchronous burst mode if desired. By appropriate phasing of the left/right clock and control of the serial clocks, CS8427’s can be multiplexed to share one serial port. The left/right clock should be continuous, but the duty cycle does not have to be 50%, provided that enough serial clocks are present in each phase to clock all the data bits. When in slave mode, the serial audio output port must not be set to right justified data.

When using the serial audio output port in slave mode with an OLRCK input which is asynchronous to the port’s data source, an interrupt bit (OSLIP) is provided to indicate when repeated or dropped samples occur.

6. AES3 RECEIVER

The CS8427 includes an AES3 digital audio receiver and an AES3 digital audio transmitter. A comprehensive buffering scheme provides read/write access to the channel status and user data. This buffering scheme is described in “Ap-

pendix B: Channel Status and User Data Buffer Management”.

The AES3 receiver accepts and decodes audio and digital data according to the AES3, IEC60958 (S/PDIF), and EIAJ CP-1201 interface standards. The receiver consists of a differential input stage, accessed through pins RXP and RXN, a PLL based clock recovery circuit, and a decoder which separates the audio data from the channel status and user data.

External components are used to terminate and isolate the incoming data cables from the CS8427. These components are detailed in “Appendix A:

External AES3/SPDIF/IEC60958 Transmitter and Receiver Components” on page 50.

6.1 OMCK System Clock Mode

A special mode is available that allows the clock that is being input through the OMCK pin to be output through the RMCK pin. This feature is controlled by the SWCLK bit in control register 1. When the PLL loses lock, the frequency of the VCO drops to 300 kHz. The SWCLK function allows the clock from RMCK to be used as a clock in the system without any disruption when input is removed from the Receiver. This clock switching is performed glitch free. None of the internal circuitry that is clocked from the PLL is driven by the OMCK being output from RMCK. This function is available only in software mode.

6.2 PLL, Jitter Attenuation, and Varispeed

Please see Appendix C for general description of the PLL, selection of recommended PLL filter components, and layout considerations. Figure 5 shows the recommended configuration of the two capacitors and one resistor that comprise the PLL filter.

6.3 Error Reporting and Hold Function

While decoding the incoming AES3 data stream, the CS8427 can identify several kinds of error, indicated in the Receiver Error register. The UNLOCK bit indicates whether the PLL is locked to the incoming AES3 data. The V bit reflects the current validity bit status. The BIP (bi-phase) error bit indicates an error in incoming bi-phase coding. The PAR (parity) bit indicates a received parity error.

The error bits are “sticky”: they are set on the first occurrence of the associated error and will remain set until the user reads the register through the control port. This enables the register to log all unmasked errors that occurred since the last time the register was read.

The Receiver Error Mask register allows masking of individual errors. The bits in this register serve as masks for the corresponding bits of the Receiver Error Register. If a mask bit is set to 1, the error is unmasked, which implies the following: its occurrence will be reported in the receiver error register, induce a pulse on RERR, invoke the occurrence of a RERR interrupt, and affect the current audio sample according to the status of the HOLD bits. The HOLD bits allow a choice of holding the previous sample, replacing the current sample with zero (mute), or not changing the current audio sample. If a mask bit is set to 0, the error is masked, which implies the following: its occurrence will not be reported in the receiver error register, will not induce a pulse on RERR or generate a RERR interrupt, and will not affect the current audio sample. The QCRC and CCRC errors do not affect the current audio sample, even if unmasked

6.4 Channel Status Data Handling

The first two bytes of the Channel Status block are decoded into the Receiver Channel Status register. The setting of the CHS bit in the Channel Status Data Buffer Control register determines whether the channel status decodes are from the A channel (CHS = 0) or B channel (CHS = 1).

The PRO (professional) bit is extracted directly. For consumer data, the COPY (copyright) bit is extracted, and the category code and L bits are decoded to determine SCMS status, indicated by the ORIG (original) bit. If the category code is set to

The encoded channel status bits which indicate sample word length are decoded according to AES3-1992 or IEC 60958. Audio data routed to the serial audio output port is unaffected by the word length settings - all 24 bits are passed on as received.

bit is ex-

indicator, as

6.5 User Data Handling

The incoming user data is buffered in a user accessible buffer. Various automatic modes of re-transmitting received User data are provided. The Appendix: Channel Status and User Data Buffer Management describes the overall handling of CS and U data.

Received User data may also be output to the U pin, under the control of a control register bit. Depending on the data flow and clocking options selected, there may not be a clock available to qualify the U data output. Figure 13 illustrates the timing.

If the incoming user data bits have been encoded as Q-channel subcode, the data is decoded and presented in ten consecutive register locations. An interrupt may be enabled to indicate the decoding of a new Q-channel block, which may be read through the control port.

6.6 Non-Audio Auto Detection

An AES3 data stream may be used to convey nonaudio data, thus it is important to know whether the incoming AES3 data stream is digital audio or not. This information is typically conveyed in channel status bit 1 (AUDIO cally by the CS8427. However, certain non-audio sources, such as AC3 not adhere to this convention, and the bit may not be properly set. The CS8427 AES3 receiver can detect such non-audio data. This is accomplished by looking for a 96-bit sync code, consisting of 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0xF872, and 0x4E1F. When the sync code is detected, an internal AUTODETECT signal will be asserted. If no additional sync codes are detected within the next 4096 frames, AUTODETECT will be de-asserted until another sync code is detected. The AUDIO in the Receiver Channel Status register is the logical OR of AUTODETECT and the received channel status bit 1. If non-audio data is detected, the data is still processed exactly as if it were normal audio. It is up to the user to mute the outputs as required.

7. AES3 TRANSMITTER

The AES3 transmitter encodes and transmits audio and digital data according to the AES3, IEC60958 (S/PDIF), and EIAJ CP-1201 interface standards. Audio and control data are multiplexed together and bi-phase, mark encoded. The resulting bit stream is driven to an output connector either directly or through a transformer.

The transmitter clock may be derived from the clock input pin OMCK, or from the incoming data. If OMCK is asynchronous to the data source, an interrupt bit (TSLIP) is provided that will go high every time a data sample is dropped or repeated. Be aware that the pattern of slips does not have hysteresis and so the occurrence of the interrupt condition is not deterministic.

The channel status (C) and user channel (U) bits in the transmitted data stream are taken from storage areas within the CS8427. The user can manually access the internal storage or configure the CS8427 to run in one of several automatic modes. The Appendix: Channel Status and User Data Buffer Management provides detailed descriptions of each automatic mode and describes methods of manually accessing the storage areas. The transmitted user data can optionally be input through the U pin, under the control of a control port register bit. Figure 13 shows the timing requirements for clocking U data through the U pin.

7.1 Transmitted Frame and Channel Status Boundary Timing

The TCBL pin is used to control or indicate the start of transmitted channel status block boundaries and may be used as an input or output.

In some applications, it may be necessary to control the precise timing of the transmitted AES3 frame boundaries. This may be achieved in three ways:

1) With TCBL set to input, driving TCBL high for >3 OMCK clocks will cause a frame start, as well as a new channel status block start.

2) If the AES3 output comes from the AES3 input, setting TCBL as output will cause AES3 output frame boundaries to align with AES3 input frame boundaries.

3) If the AES3 output comes from the serial audio input port while the port is in slave mode and TCBL is set to output, the start of the A channel sub-frame will be aligned with the leading edge of IL-CK.

7.2 TXN and TXP Drivers

The line drivers are low skew, low impedance, differential outputs capable of driving cables directly. Both drivers are set to ground during reset (RST

= low), when no AES3 transmit clock is provided, and optionally under the control of a register bit. The CS8427 also allows immediate mute of the AES3 transmitter audio data through a control register bit.

External components are used to terminate and isolate the external cable from the CS8427. These components are detailed in Appendix A: External

Figure 7. Software Mode Audio Data Flow Switching Options

An AES3 stream may be used in more than one way to transmit 96-kHz sample rate data. One method is to double the frame rate of the current format. This results in a stereo signal with a sample rate of 96 kHz, carried over a single twisted pair cable. An alternate method is implemented using the two sub-frames in a 48-kHz frame rate AES3 signal to carry consecutive samples of a mono signal, resulting in a 96-kHz sample rate stream. This allows older equipment, whose AES3 transmitters and receivers are not rated for 96-kHz frame rate operation, to handle 96-kHz sample rate information. In this “mono mode”, two AES3 cables are needed for stereo data transfer. The CS8427 offers mono mode operation for the AES3 receiver and the AES3 transmitter. The receiver and transmitter sections may be independently set to mono mode through the MMR and MMT control bits.

CS8427

to both the left and right data fields of the next word clock cycle of SDOUT.

Using receiver mono mode is only necessary if the serial audio output port must run at 96 kHz. If the CS8427 is kept in normal stereo mode and receives AES3 data arranged in mono mode, the serial audio output port will run at 48 kHz, with left and right data fields representing consecutive audio samples.

8.2 Transmitter Mono Mode

In transmitter mono mode, the input port will run at the audio sample rate (Fso), while the AES3 transmitter frame rate will be at Fso/2. Consecutive left or right channel serial audio data samples may be selected for transmission on the A and B subframes, and the channel status block transmitted is also selectable.

8.1 Receiver Mono Mode

The receiver mono mode effectively doubles the input frame rate, Fsi. The clock output on the RMCK pin tracks Fsi, and thus is doubled in frequency compared to stereo mode. The receiver will run at a frame rate of Fsi/2, and the serial audio output port will run at Fsi. Sub-frame A data will be routed to both the left and right data fields on SD-OUT. Similarly, sub-frame B data will be routed

Using transmitter mono mode is only necessary if the incoming audio sample rate is already at 96 kHz and contains both left and right audio data words. The “mono mode” AES3 output stream may also be achieved by keeping the CS8427 in normal stereo mode and placing consecutive audio samples in the left and right positions of an incoming data stream with a 48-kHz word rate.

9. CONTROL PORT DESCRIPTION AND TIMING

The control port is used to access the registers, allowing the CS8427 to be configured for the desired operational modes and formats. In addition, Channel Status and User data may be read and written through the control port. The operation of the control port may be completely asynchronous with respect to the audio sample rates. However, to avoid potential interference problems, the control port pins should remain static if no operation is required.

The control port has two modes: SPI and I²C, with the CS8427 acting as a slave device. SPI mode is selected if there is a high to low transition on the AD0/CS high. I²C mode is selected by connecting the AD0/CS selecting the desired AD0 bit address state.

9.1 SPITM Mode

In SPI mode, CS is the CS8427 chip select signal; CCLK is the control port bit clock (input into the CS8427 from the microcontroller); CDIN is the input data line from the microcontroller; CDOUT is the output data line to the microcontroller. Data is clocked in on the rising edge of CCLK and out on the falling edge.

Figure 17 shows the operation of the control port in

SPI mode. To write to a register, bring CS first seven bits on CDIN form the chip address and must be 0010000b. The eighth bit is a read/write indicator (R/W next eight bits form the Memory Address Pointer (MAP), which is set to the address of the register that is to be updated. The next eight bits are the data which will be placed into the register designated by the MAP. During writes, the CDOUT output stays in the Hi-Z state. It may be externally pulled high or low with a 47 kΩ resistor, if desired.

There is a MAP auto increment capability, enabled by the INCR bit in the MAP register. If INCR is a zero, the MAP will stay constant for successive read or writes. If INCR is set to a 1, then the MAP will autoincrement after each byte is read or written, allowing block reads or writes of successive registers.

To read a register, the MAP has to be set to the correct address by executing a partial write cycle which finishes (CS MAP byte. The MAP auto increment bit (INCR) may be set or not, as desired. To begin a read, bring CS the read/write bit (R/W of CCLK will clock out the MSB of the addressed register (CDOUT will leave the high impedance state). If the MAP auto increment bit is set to 1, the data for successive registers will appear consecutively.

9.2 I²C Mode

In I²C mode, SDA is a bidirectional data line. Data is clocked into and out of the part by SCL, with the clock to data relationship as shown in Figure 18. There is no CS en a unique address. Pins AD0 and AD1 form the two least significant bits of the chip address and should be connected to VL+ or DGND as desired. The EMPH necting a resistor from the EMPH DGND. The state of the pin is sensed while the CS8427 is being reset. The upper four bits of the seven bit address field are fixed at 0010b. To communicate with a CS8427, the chip address field, which is the first byte sent to the CS8427, should be 0010b followed by the settings of the EMPH AD1, and AD0. The eighth bit of the address is the R/W

bit. If the operation is a write, the next byte is the Memory Address Pointer (MAP) which selects the register to be read or written. If the operation is a read, the contents of the register pointed to by the MAP will be output. Setting the auto increment bit in MAP allows successive reads or writes of consecutive registers. Each byte is separated by an acknowledge bit, ACK, which is output from the CS8427 after each input byte is read. The ACK bit is input to the CS8427 from the microcontroller after each transmitted byte. I²C mode is supported only with VL+ = 5.0 V.

mode is used for active-low, wired-OR hook-ups with multiple peripherals connected to the microcontroller interrupt input pin.

Many conditions can cause an interrupt, as listed in the interrupt status register descriptions. Each source may be masked off using mask register

bits. In addition, each source may be set to rising edge, falling edge, or level-sensitive. Combined with the option of level-sensitive or edge-sensitive modes within the microcontroller, many different set-ups are possible depending on the needs of the equipment designer.

11.7 Interrupt 1 Status (07h) (Read Only)

7 6 543210

TSLIP OSLIP 0 0 0 DETC EFTC RERR

For all bits in this register, a “1” means the associated interrupt condition has occurred at least once since the register was last read. A ”0” means the associated interrupt condition has NOT occurred since the last reading of the register. Reading the register resets all bits to 0, unless the interrupt mode is set to level and the interrupt source is still true. Status bits that are masked off in the associated mask register will always be “0” in this register. This register defaults to 00h.

TSLIP - AES3 transmitter source data slip interrupt.

In data flows where OMCK, which clocks the AES3 transmitter, is asynchronous to the data source, this bit will go high every time a data sample is dropped or repeated. When TCBL is an input, this bit will go high on receipt of a new TCBL signal.

OSLIP - Serial audio output port data slip interrupt.

When the serial audio output port is in slave mode, and OLRCK is asynchronous to the port data source, this bit will go high every time a data sample is dropped or repeated.

DETC - D to E C-buffer transfer interrupt.

Indicates the completion of a D to E C-buffer transfer. See “Channel Status and User Data Buffer Management” on page 51 for more information.

EFTC - E to F C-buffer transfer interrupt.

Indicates the completion of a E to F C-buffer transfer. See “Channel Status and User Data Buffer Management” on page 51 for more information.

TSLIPM OSLIPM 0 0 0 DETCM EFTCM RERRM

The bits of this register serve as a mask for the Interrupt 1 register. If a mask bit is set to 1, the error is unmasked, meaning that its occurrence will affect the INT pin and the status register. If a mask bit is set to 0, the error is masked, meaning that its occurrence will not affect the INT pin or the status register. The bit positions align with the corresponding bits in the Interrupt 1 register. This register defaults to 00h.

The two Interrupt Mode registers form a 2-bit code for each Interrupt Register 1 function. There are three ways to set the INT pin active in accordance with the interrupt condition. In the Rising edge active mode, the INT pin becomes active on the arrival of the interrupt condition. In the Falling edge active mode, the INT pin becomes active on the removal of the interrupt condition. In Level active mode, the INT interrupt pin becomes active during the interrupt condition. Be aware that the active level (Active High or Low) only depends on the INT[1:0] bits. These registers default to 00.

0 QCRCM CCRCM UNLOCKM VM CONFM BIPM PARM

The bits in this register serve as masks for the corresponding bits of the Receiver Error register. If a mask bit is set to 1, the error is unmasked, meaning that its occurrence will appear in the receiver error register, will affect the RERR pin, will affect the RERR interrupt, and will affect the current audio sample according to the status of the HOLD bit. If a mask bit is set to 0, the error is masked, meaning that its occurrence will not appear in the receiver error register, will not affect the RERR pin, will not affect the RERR interrupt, and will not affect the current audio sample. The CCRC and QCRC bits behave differently from the other bits: they do not affect the current audio sample even when unmasked. This register defaults to 00h.

7 6 543210

ORR7 ORR6 ORR5 ORR4 ORR3 ORR2 ORR1 ORR0

This register allows the calculation of the incoming sample rate by the host microcontroller from the equation ORR=Fso/Fsi. The Fso is determined by OMCK, whose frequency is assumed to be 256xFso. ORR is represented as an unsigned 2-bit integer and a 6-bit fractional part. The value is meaningful only after the PLL has reached lock. For example, if the OMCK is 12.288 MHz, Fso would be 48 kHz (48 kHz = 12.288 MHz/256). Then if the input sample rate is also 48 KHz, you would get

1.0 from the ORR register. (The value from the ORR register is hexadecimal, so the actual value you will get is 40h).

If F Fso/Fsi modulo 4. For example, if the OMCK is 36.864 MHz, Fso would be 144 kHz (144 kHz =

36.864 MHz/256). Then if the input sample rate is 32 kHz, you would get (144/32) mod 4 = 4.5 mod 4 = 0.5 from the ORR register. (The value from the ORR register is hexadecimal, so the actual value you will get is 20h).

Also, there is no hysteresis on ORR. Therefore a small amount of jitter on either clock can cause the LSB ORR[0] to oscillate.

ORR[7:6] - Integer part of the ratio (Integer value=ORR[7:6])

ORR[5:0] - Fractional part of the ratio (Fraction value=ORR[5:0]/64)

> 3.984375, ORR will overflow. Once the register has overflowed, the value shown will be

2 Address Bit 0 (I²C) / Control Port Chip Select (SPI) (Input) - A falling edge on this pin puts

the CS8427 into SPI control port mode. With no falling edge, the CS8427 defaults to I²C mode. In I²C mode, AD0 is a chip address pin. In SPI mode, CS

is used to enable the control

port interface on the CS8427

3 Pre-Emphasis (Output) - EMPH is low when the incoming Channel Status data indicates

50/15 ms pre-emphasis. EMPH

is high when the Channel Status data indicates no preemphasis or indicates pre-emphasis other than 50/15 ms. This is also a start-up option pin, and requires a 47 kΩ resistor to either VL+ or DGND, which determines the AD2 address bit for the control port in I²C mode

ground. See “Appendix C: PLL Filter” on page 55 for recommended schematic and component values.

9 Reset (Input) - When RST is low, the CS8427 enters a low power mode and all internal

states are reset. On initial power up, RST and all input clocks are stable in frequency and phase. This is particularly true in hardware mode with multiple CS8427 devices where synchronization between devices is important

CS8427

RERR 11 Receiver Error (Output) - When high, indicates an error condition from the AES3 receiver.

The status of this pin is updated once per sub-frame of incoming AES3 data. Conditions that can cause RERR to go high are: validity, parity error, bi-phase coding error, confidence, as well as loss of lock by the PLL. Each condition may be optionally masked from affecting the RERR pin using the Receiver Error Mask Register. The RERR pin tracks the status of the unmasked errors: the pin goes high as soon as an unmasked error occurs and goes low immediately when all unmasked errors go away.

ILRCK 12 Serial Audio Input Left/Right Clock (Input/Output) - Word rate clock for the audio data on

the SDIN pin.

ISCLK 13 Serial Audio Bit Clock (Input/Output) - Serial bit clock for audio data on the SDIN pin.

SDIN 14 Serial Audio Data Port (Input) - Audio data serial input pin.

TCBL 15 Transmit Channel Status Block Start (Input/Output) - When operated as output, TCBL is

high during the first sub-frame of a transmitted channel status block, and low at all other times. When operated as input, driving TCBL high for at least three OMCK clocks will cause the next transmitted sub-frame to be the start of a channel status block.

OSCLK 16 Serial Audio Output Bit Clock (Input/Output) - Serial bit clock for audio data on the SDOUT

OLRCK 17 Serial Audio Output Left/Right Clock (Input/Output) - Word rate clock for the audio data on

the SDOUT pin. Frequency will be the output sample rate (Fs)

SDOUT 18 Serial Audio Output Data (Output) - Audio data serial output pin

INT 19 Interrupt (Output) - Indicates errors and key events during the operation of the CS8427. All

bits affecting INT may be unmasked through bits in the control registers. The condition(s) that initiated interrupt are readable through a control register. The polarity of the INT output, as well as selection of a standard or open drain output, is set through a control register. Once set true, the INT pin goes false only after the interrupt status registers have been read and the interrupt status bits have returned to zero

U 20 User Data (Input/Output) - May optionally be used to input User bit data for transmission by

the AES3 transmitter, see Figure 13 on page 22 for timing information. Alternatively, the U pin may be set to output User data from the AES3 receiver, see Figure 13 on page 22 for timing information. If not driven, a 47 kΩ pull-down resistor is recommended for the U pin, since the default state of the UD direction bit sets the U pin as an input. The pull-down resistor ensures that the transmitted user data will be zero. If the U pin is always set to be an output, thereby causing the U bit manager to be the source of the U data, then the resistor is not necessary. The U pin should not be tied directly to ground, in case it is programmed to be an output, and subsequently tries to output a logic high. This situation may affect the long term reliability of the device. If the U pin is driven by a logic level output, then a 100 Ω series resistor is recommended.

OMCK 21 System Clock (Input) - When the OMCK System Clock Mode is enabled by the SWCLK bit

in the Control 1 register, the clock signal input on this pin is output through RMCK. OMCK serves as reference signal for OMCK/RMCK ratio expressed in register 1Eh.

DGND 22 Digital Ground (Input) - Ground for the digital section. DGND should be connected to the

same ground as AGND

VL+ 23 Positive Digital Power (Input) - Typically +3.3 V or +5.0 V.

H/S

24 Hardware/Software Mode Control (Input) - Determines the method of controlling the oper-

ation of the CS8427, and the method of accessing CS and U data. In software mode, device control and CS and U data access is primarily through the control port, using a microcontroller. Hardware mode provides an alternate mode of operation and access to the CS and U data through dedicated pins. This pin should be permanently tied to VL+ or DGND

13. HARDWARE MODE DESCRIPTION

Hardware mode is selected by connecting the H/S pin to ‘1’. Hardware Mode data flow is shown in

Figure 19. Audio data is input through the AES3 re-

ceiver, and routed to the serial audio output port. Different audio data synchronous to RMCK may be input into the serial audio input port, and output through the AES3 transmitter.

The channel status data, user data and validity bit information are handled in 2 alternative modes: A and B, determined by a start-up resistor on the COPY pin. In mode A, the received PRO, COPY, ORIG, EMPH output on pins. The transmitted channel status bits are copied from the received channel status data, and the transmitted U and V bits are 0.

In mode B, only the COPY and ORIG pins are output, and reflect the received channel status data. The transmitted channel status bits, user data and validity bits are input serially through the PRO/C, EMPH

/U and AUDIO/V pins. Figure 13 on page 22

shows the timing requirements.

, and AUDIO channel status bits are

The APMS pin allows the serial audio input port to be set to master or slave.

If a validity, parity, bi-phase or lock receiver error occurs, the current audio sample is passed unmodified to the serial audio output port.

Start-up options are shown in Table 2 on page 43, and allow choice of the serial audio output port as a master or slave, whether TCBL is an input or an output, the audio serial ports formats and the source of the transmitted C, U and V data.

13.1 Serial Audio Port Formats

In hardware mode, only a limited number of alternative serial audio port formats are available. These formats are described by Table 3 on

page 43 and Table 4 on page 43, which define the

equivalent software mode bit settings for each format. Timing diagrams are shown in Figure 15 on

page 23 and Figure 16 on page 24.

15. APPLICATIONS

15.1 Reset, Power Down and Start-up

When RST is low, the CS8427 enters a low power mode and all internal states are reset, including the control port and registers, and the outputs are muted. When RST operational and the desired settings should be loaded into the control registers. Writing a 1 to the RUN bit will then cause the part to leave the low power state and begin operation. After the PLL has settled, the AES3 and serial audio outputs will be enabled.

Some options within the CS8427 are controlled by a start-up mechanism. During the reset state, some of the output pins are reconfigured internally to be inputs. Immediately upon exiting the reset state, the level of these pins is sensed. The pins are then switched to be outputs. This mechanism allows output pins to be used to set alternative modes in the CS8427 by connecting a 47 kΩ resistor to between the pin and either VL+ (HI) or DGND (LO). For each mode, every start-up option select pin MUST have an external pull-up or pull-down resistor. In software mode, the only start-up option pin is EMPH bit for the control port in I²C mode. Hardware modes use many start-up options, which are detailed in the hardware definition section at the end of this data sheet.

is high, the control port becomes

, which is used to set a chip address

15.2 ID Code and Revision Code

The CS8427 has a register that contains a four bit code to indicate that the addressed device is a CS8427. This is useful when other CS84XX family members are resident in the same system, allowing common software modules.

The CS8427 four bit revision code is also available. This allows the software driver for the CS8427 to identify which revision of the device is in a particular system, and modify its behavior accordingly. To allow for future revisions, it is strongly recommend that the revision code is read into a variable area within the microcontroller, and used wherever appropriate as revision details become known.

15.3 Power Supply, Grounding, and PCB layout

For most applications, the CS8427 can be operated from a single +5.0 V supply, following normal supply decoupling practices, see Figure 5 on page

11. Note that the I²C protocol is supported only in

VL+ = 5.0 V mode. For applications where the recovered input clock, output on the RMCK pin, is required to be low jitter, then use a separate, quiet, analog +5.0 V supply for VA+, decoupled to AGND. In addition, a separate region of analog ground plane around the FILT, AGND, VA+, RXP, and RXN pins is recommended.

The VL+ supply should be well decoupled with a

0.1 μF capacitor to DGND to minimize AES3 trans-

mitter induced transients.

Extensive use of power and ground planes, ground plane fill in unused areas and surface mount decoupling capacitors are recommended. Decoupling capacitors should be mounted on the same side of the board as the CS8427 to minimize inductance effects, and all decoupling capacitors should be as close to the CS8427 as possible.

15.4 Synchronization of Multiple CS8427s

The serial audio output ports of multiple CS8427s can be synchronized if all devices share the same master clock, OSCLK, OLRCK, and RST leave the reset state on the same master clock falling edge. Either all the ports need to be in slave mode, or one can be set as a master.

Multiple AES3 transmitters can be synchronized if all devices share the same master clock, TCBL, and RST same master clock falling edge. The TCBL pin is used to synchronize multiple CS8427 AES3 transmitters at the channel status block boundaries. One CS8427 must have its TCBL set to master; the others must be set to slave TCBL. Alternatively, TCBL can be derived from external logic, in which case all the CS8427 devices should be set to slave TCBL.

18. APPENDIX A: EXTERNAL AES3/SPDIF/IEC60958 TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER COMPONENTS

This section details the external components required to interface the AES3 transmitter and receiver to cables and fiber-optic components.

18.1 AES3 Transmitter External

Components

The output drivers on the CS8427 are designed to drive both the professional and consumer interfaces. The AES3 specification for professional/broadcast use calls for a 110 Ω source impedance and a balanced drive capability. Since the transmitter output impedance is very low, a 110 Ω resistor should be placed in series with one of the transmit pins. The specifications call for a balanced output drive of 2-7 V peak-to-peak into a 110 Ω load with no cable attached. Using the circuit in Figure 20, the output of the transformer is short-circuit protected, has the proper source impedance, and provides a 5 V peak-to-peak signal into a 110 Ω load. Lastly, the two output pins should be attached to an XLR connector with male pins and a female shell, and with pin 1 of the connector grounded.

In the case of consumer use, the IEC60958 specifications call for an unbalanced drive circuit with an output impedance of 75 Ω and a output drive level of 0.5 V peak-to-peak ±20% when measured across a 75 Ω load using no cable. The circuit shown in Figure 21 only uses the TXP pin and provides the proper output impedance and drive level using standard 1% resistors. If VL+ is driven from +3.3 V, use resistor values of 243 Ω and 107 Ω. The connector for a consumer application would be an RCA phono socket. This circuit is also short circuit protected.

The TXP pin may be used to drive TTL or CMOS gates as shown in Figure 22. This circuit may be used for optical connectors for digital audio since they usually have TTL or CMOS compatible inputs. This circuit is also useful when driving multiple digital audio outputs since RS422 line drivers have TTL compatible inputs.

18.3 AES3 Receiver External Components

The CS8427 AES3 receiver is designed to accept both the professional and consumer interfaces. The digital audio specifications for professional use call for a balanced receiver, using XLR connectors, with 110 Ω ±20% impedance. The XLR connector on the receiver should have female pins with a male shell. Since the receiver has a very high input impedance, a 110 Ω resistor should be placed across the receiver terminals to match the line impedance, as shown in Figure 23. Although transformers are not required by the AES, they are, however, strongly recommended.

If some isolation is desired without the use of transformers, a 0.01 μF capacitor should be placed in series with each input pin (RXP and RXN) as shown in Figure 24. However, if a transformer is not used, high frequency energy could be coupled into the receiver, causing degradation in analog performance.

Figure 23 and Figure 24 show an optional DC

blocking capacitor (0.1 μF to 0.47 μF) in series with the cable input. This improves the robustness of the receiver, preventing the saturation of the transformer, or any DC current flow, if a DC voltage is present on the cable.

In the configuration of systems, it is important to avoid ground loops and DC current flowing down the shield of the cable that could result when boxes with different ground potentials are connected. Generally, it is good practice to ground the shield to the chassis of the transmitting unit, and connect the shield through a capacitor to chassis ground at the receiver. However, in some cases it is advantageous to have the ground of two boxes held to the same potential, and the cable shield might be depended upon to make that electrical connection. Generally, it may be a good idea to provide the option of grounding or capacitively coupling the shield to the chassis.

In the case of the consumer interface, the standards call for an unbalanced circuit having a receiver impedance of 75 Ω ±5%. The connector for the consumer interface is an RCA phono socket. The receiver circuit for the consumer interface is shown in Figure 25.

The circuit shown in Figure 26 may be used when external RS422 receivers, optical receivers or other TTL/CMOS logic outputs drive the CS8427 receiver section.

Figure 27. Channel Status Data Buffer Structure

19. APPENDIX B: CHANNEL STATUS AND USER DATA BUFFER MANAGEMENT

The CS8427 has a comprehensive channel status (C) and user (U) data buffering scheme, which allows automatic management of channel status blocks and user data. Alternatively, sufficient control and access is provided to allow the user to completely manage the C and U data through the control port. Be aware that the RUN bit should be set to 1 in order to access the C and U data buffer through the control port.

19.1 AES3 Channel Status(C) Bit

Management

The CS8427 contains sufficient RAM to store a full block of C data for both A and B channels (192x2 = 384 bits), and also 384 bits of U information. The user may read from or write to these RAMs through the control port.

The CS8427 manages the flow of channel status data at the block level, meaning that entire blocks of channel status information are buffered at the input, synchronized to the output timebase, and then transmitted. The buffering scheme involves a cascade of 3 block-sized buffers, named D,E and F, as shown in Figure 27. The MSB of each byte represents the first bit in the serial C data stream. For example, the MSB of byte 0 (which is at control port address 20h) is the consumer/professional bit for channel status block A.

The first buffer, D, accepts incoming C data from the AES receiver. The 2nd buffer, E, accepts entire blocks of data from the D buffer. The E buffer is also accessible from the control port, allowing read

and writing of the C data. The 3rd buffer (F) is used as the source of C data for the AES3 transmitter. The F buffer accepts block transfers from the E buffer.

19.1.1 Manually accessing the E buffer

The user can monitor the data being transferred by reading the E buffer, which is mapped into the register space of the CS8427, through the control port. The user can modify the data to be transmitted by writing to the E buffer.

The user can configure the interrupt enable register to cause interrupts to occur whenever “D to E” or “E to F” buffer transfers occur. This allows determination of the allowable time periods to interact with the E buffer.

Also provided are “D to E” and “E to F” inhibit bits. The associated buffer transfer is disabled whenever the user sets these bits. These may be used whenever “long” control port interactions are occurring. They can also be used to align the behavior of the buffers with the selected audio data flow. For example, if the audio data flow is serial port in to AES3 out, then it is necessary to inhibit “D toE” transfers, since these would overwrite the desired transmit C data with invalid data.

Flowcharts for reading and writing to the E buffer are shown in Figure 28 and Figure 29. For reading, since a D to E interrupt just occurred, then there a substantial time interval until the next D to E transfer (approximately 24 frames worth of time). This is usually plenty of time to access the E data without having to inhibit the next transfer.

Figure 29. Flowchart for Writing the E Buffer

For writing, the sequence starts after a E to F transfer, which is based on the output timebase. Since a D to E transfer could occur at any time (this is based on the input timebase), then it is important to inhibit D to E transfers while writing to the E buffer until all writes are complete. Then wait until the next E to F transfer occurs before enabling D to E transfers. This ensures that the data written to the E buffer actually gets transmitted and not overwritten by a D to E transfer.

If the channel status block to transmit indicates PRO mode, then the CRCC byte is automatically calculated by the CS8427, and does not have to be written into the last byte of the block by the host microcontroller.

19.1.2 Reserving the first 5 bytes in the E buffer

D to E buffer transfers periodically overwrite the data stored in the E buffer. This can be a problem for users who want to transmit certain channel sta-

tus settings which are different from the incoming settings. In this case, the user would have to superimpose his settings on the E buffer after every D to E overwrite.

To avoid this problem, the CS8427 has the capability of reserving the first 5 bytes of the E buffer for user writes only. When this capability is in use, internal D to E buffer transfers will NOT affect the first 5 bytes of the E buffer. Therefore, the user can set values in these first 5 E bytes once, and the settings will persist until the next user change. This mode is enabled by the Channel Status Data Buffer Control register.

19.1.3 Serial Copy Management System (SCMS)

In software mode, the CS8427 allows read/modify/write access to all the channel status bits. For consumer mode SCMS compliance, the host microcontroller needs to read and manipulate the Category Code, Copy bit and L bit appropriately.

In hardware mode, the SCMS protocol can be followed by either using the COPY and ORIG input pins, or by using the C bit serial input pin. These options are documented in the hardware mode section of this data sheet.

19.1.4 Channel Status Data E Buffer Access

The E buffer is organized as 24 x 16-bit words. For each word the MS Byte is the A channel data, and the LS Byte is the B channel data (see Figure 27).

There are two methods of accessing this memory, known as one byte mode and two byte mode. The desired mode is selected through a control register bit.

One Byte Mode

In many applications, the channel status blocks for the A and B channels will be identical. In this situation, if the user reads a byte from one of the channel's blocks, the corresponding byte for the other channel will be the same. Similarly, if the user wrote a byte to one channel's block, it would be necessary to write the same byte to the other block. One byte mode takes advantage of the often identical nature of A and B channel status data.

DS477F5 53

CS8427

When reading data in one byte mode, a single byte is returned, which can be from channel A or B data, depending on a register control bit. If a write is being done, the CS8427 expects a single byte to be input to its control port. This byte will be written to both the A and B locations in the addressed word.

One byte mode saves the user substantial control port access time, as it effectively accesses 2 bytes worth of information in 1 byte's worth of access time. If the control port's autoincrement addressing is used in combination with this mode, multi-byte accesses such as full-block reads or writes can be done especially efficiently.

Two Byte mode

There are those applications in which the A and B channel status blocks will not be the same, and the user is interested in accessing both blocks. In these situations, two byte mode should be used to access the E buffer.

In this mode, a read will cause the CS8427 to output two bytes from its control port. The first byte out will represent the A channel status data, and the 2nd byte will represent the B channel status data. Writing is similar, in that two bytes must now be input to the CS8427's control port. The A channel status data is first, B channel status data second.

19.2 AES3 User (U) Bit Management

The CS8427 U bit manager has two operating modes: transmit all zeros and block mode.

19.2.1 Mode 1: Transmit All Zeros

Mode 1 causes only zeros to be transmitted in the output U data, regardless of E buffer contents or U data embedded in an input AES3 data stream. This mode is intended for the user who does not want to transceive U data, and simply wants the output U channel to contain no data.

19.2.2 Mode 2: Block Mode

Mode 2 is very similar to the scheme used to control the C bits. Entire blocks of U data are buffered from input to output, using a cascade of 3 blocksized RAMs to perform the buffering. The user has access to the second of these 3 buffers, denoted the E buffer, through the control port. Block mode is designed for use in AES3 in, AES3 out situations in which input U data is decoded using a microcontroller through the control port. It is also the only mode in which the user can merge his own U data into the transmitted AES3 data stream.

The U buffer access only operates in two byte mode, since there is no concept of A and B blocks for user data. The arrangement of the data is as follows:Bit15[A7]Bit14[B7]Bit13[A6]Bit12[B6]...Bit1[A 0]Bit0[B0]. The arrangement of the data in the each byte is that the MSB is the first received bit and is the first transmitted bit. The first byte read is the first byte received, and the first byte sent is the first byte transmitted. If you read two bytes from the E buffer, you will get the following arrangement:

A[7]B[7]A[6]B[6]....A[0]B[0].

Figure 30. PLL Block Diagram

20.APPENDIX C: PLL FILTER

20.1 General

An on-chip Phase Locked Loop (PLL) is used to recover the clock from the incoming data stream. Figure 30 is a simplified diagram of the PLL in these parts. When the PLL is locked to an AES3 input stream, it is updated at each preamble in the AES3 stream. This occurs at twice the sampling frequency, F it is updated at F doesn’t affect jitter.

There are some applications where low jitter in the recovered clock, presented on the RMCK pin, is important. For this reason, the PLL has been designed to have good jitter attenuation characteristics, as shown in Figure 33, Figure 34, Figure 35, and Figure 36. In addition, the PLL has been de-

. When the PLL is locked to ILRCK,

so that the duty cycle of the input

signed to only use the preambles of the AES3 stream to provide lock update information to the PLL. This results in the PLL being immune to data dependent jitter affects because the AES3 preambles do not vary with the data.

The PLL has the ability to lock onto a wide range of input sample rates with no external component changes. If the sample rate of the input subsequently changes, for example in a varispeed application, the PLL will only track up to ±12.5% from the nominal center sample rate. The nominal center sample rate is the sample rate that the PLL first locks onto upon application of an AES3 data stream or after enabling the CS8427 clocks by setting the RUN control bit. If the 12.5% sample rate limit is exceeded, the PLL will return to its wide lock range mode and re-acquire a new nominal center sample rate.

Figure 31. Recommended Layout Example

20.2 External Filter Components

20.2.1 General

The PLL behavior is affected by the external filter component values. Figure 5 on page 11 shows the recommended configuration of the two capacitors and one resistor that comprise the PLL filter. In Table 7 and Table 8, the component values shown for the 32 to 96 kHz range have the highest corner frequency jitter attenuation curve, takes the shortest time to lock, and offers the best output jitter performance. The component values shown in Table 6 and Table 8 for the 8 to 96 kHz range allows the lowest input sample rate to be 8 kHz, and increases the lock time of the PLL. Lock times are worst case for an Fsi transition of 96 kHz.

20.2.2 Capacitor Selection

The type of capacitors used for the PLL filter can have a significant effect on receiver performance. Large or exotic film capacitors are not necessary as their leads and the required longer circuit board traces add undesirable inductance to the circuit. Surface mount ceramic capacitors are a good

choice because their own inductance is low, and they can be mounted close to the FILT pin to minimize trace inductance. For C NPO dielectric is recommended, and for C

, a C0G or

RIP

, an X7R dielectric is preferred. Avoid capacitors with large temperature coefficients, or capacitors with high dielectric constants, that are sensitive to shock and vibration. These include the Z5U and Y5V dielectrics.

20.2.3 Circuit Board Layout

Board layout and capacitor choice affect each other and determine the performance of the PLL. Figure 31 contains a suggested layout for the PLL filter components and for bypassing the analog supply voltage. The 0.1 µF bypass capacitor is in a 1206 form factor. R capacitors are in an 0805 form factor. The traces are on the top surface of the board with the IC so that there is no via inductance. The traces themselves are short to minimize the inductance in the filter path. The VA+ and AGND traces extend back to their origin and are shown only in truncated form in the drawing.

20.3 Component Value Selection

When transitioning from one revision of the part another, component values may need to be changed. While it is mandatory for customers to change the external PLL component values when transitioning from revision A to revision A1 or from revision A to revision A2, customers do not need to change external PLL component values when transitioning from revision A1 to revision A2, unless the part is used in an application that is required to

20.3.2 Locking to the RXP/RXN Receiver Inputs
