PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Parallel-Port AD1848K SoundPort® Stereo Codec integrates the key audio data conversion and control functions into
a single integrated circuit. The AD1848K is intended to provide
a complete, single-chip audio solution for business audio and
multimedia applications requiring operation from a single +5 V

supply. It provides a direct, byte-wide interface to both ISA
(“AT”) and EISA computer buses for simplified implementation on a computer motherboard or add-in card. The AD1848K
generates enable and direction controls for IC buffers such as
74_245.
The AD1848K SoundPort Stereo Codec supports a DMA request/grant architecture for transferring data with the host computer bus. One or two DMA channels can be supported.
Programmed I/O (PIO) mode is also supported for control
register accesses and for applications lacking DMA control. Two
input control lines support mixed direct and indirect addressing
of twenty-one internal control registers over this asynchronous
interface.
External circuit requirements are limited to a minimal number
of low cost support components. Anti-imaging DAC output filters are incorporated on-chip. Dynamic range exceeds 80 dB
over the 20 kHz audio band. Sample rates from 5.5 kHz to
48 kHz are supported from external crystals.
The Codec includes a stereo pair of ∑∆ analog-to-digital
converters and a stereo pair of ∑∆ digital-to-analog converters.
Inputs to the ADC can be selected from four stereo pairs of

Figure 1. Interface to ISA Bus
The pair of 16-bit outputs from the ADCs is available over a
byte-wide bidirectional interface that also supports 16-bit digital
input to the DACs and control information. The AD1848K can
accept and generate 16-bit twos-complement PCM linear digital
data, 8-bit unsigned magnitude PCM linear data, and 8-bit
µ-law or A-law companded digital data.
The ∑∆ DACs are preceded by a digital interpolation filter. An
attenuator provides independent user volume control over each
DAC channel. Nyquist images and shaped quantization noise
are removed from the DACs’ analog stereo output by on-chip
switched-capacitor and continuous-time filters. Two stereo pairs
of auxiliary line-level inputs can also be mixed in the analog domain with the DAC output.
AUDIO FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
This section overviews the functionality of the AD1848K and is
intended as a general introduction to the capabilities of the device. As much as possible, detailed reference information has
been placed in “Control Registers” and other sections. The user
is not expected to refer repeatedly to this section.
Analog Inputs
The AD1848K SoundPort Stereo Codec accepts stereo
line-level and mic-level inputs. LINE, MIC, and AUX1 inputs
and post-mixed DAC output analog stereo signals are multiplexed to the internal programmable gain amplifier stage
(PGA). Each channel of the mic inputs can be amplified by
+20 dB prior to the PGA to compensate for the voltage swing
difference between line levels and typical condenser microphones. Alternatively, the mic inputs can bypass the +20 dB
fixed gain block and go straight to the input multiplexer.
The PGA following the input multiplexer allows independent selectable gains for each channel from 0 to 22.5 dB in +1.5 dB
steps. The Codec can operate either in a global stereo mode or
in a global mono mode with left channel inputs appearing at
both channel outputs.
Analog Mixing
AUX1 and AUX2 analog stereo signals can be mixed in the analog domain with the DAC output. Each channel of each auxiliary analog input can be independently gained/attenuated from
+12 dB to –34.5 dB in –1.5 dB steps or completely muted. The
post mixed DAC output is available on OUT externally and as
an input to the ADCs.
Even if the AD1848K is not playing back data from its DACs,
the analog mix function can still be active.
Analog-to-Digital Datapath
The AD1848K ∑∆ ADCs incorporate a fourth order modulator.
A single pole of passive filtering is all that is required for
anti-aliasing the analog input due to the ADC’s high 64 times
oversampling ratio. The ADCs include linear phase digital decimation filters that low-pass filter the input to 0.45 × F
(“FS” is
S
the word rate or “sampling frequency.”) ADC input overrange
conditions will cause register bits to be set that can be read.
Digital-to-Analog Datapath
The ∑∆ DACs contain a programmable attenuator and a lowpass digital interpolation filter. The anti-imaging interpolation
filter nominally oversamples by 64 and digitally filters the higher
frequency images. The interpolation ratio is increased at low
sample rates to ensure that the shaped quantization noise is
inaudible. This feature of the AD1848K represents an improvement over the earlier AD1848J. The attenuator allows independent control of each DAC channel from 0 dB to –94.5 dB in
1.5 dB steps plus full mute. The DACs’ ∑∆ noise shapers also
oversample by 64 and convert the signal to a single bit stream.
The DAC outputs are then filtered in the analog domain by a
combination of switched-capacitor and continuous-time filters.
They remove the very high frequency components of the DAC
bitstream output. No external components are required. Phase
linearity at the analog output is achieved by internally compensating for the group delay variation of the analog output filters.
Changes in DAC output attenuation take effect only on zero
crossings of the digital signal, thereby eliminating “zipper”
noise. Each channel has its own independent zero-crossing detector and attenuator change control circuitry. A timer guarantees
that requested volume changes will occur even in the absence of
an input signal that changes sign. The time-out period is 8 milliseconds at a 48 kHz sampling rate and 48 milliseconds at an
8 kHz sampling rate. (Time out [ms] ≈ 384/F
[kHz].)

AD1848K
Digital Mixing
Stereo digital output from the ADCs can be mixed digitally with
the input to the DACs. Digital output from the ADCs going out
of the data port is unaffected by the digital mix. Along the digital mix datapath, the 16-bit linear output from the ADCs is
attenuated by an amount specified with control bits. Both channels of the monitor data are attenuated by the same amount.
(Note that internally the AD1848K always works with 16-bit
PCM linear data, digital mixing included; format conversions
take place at the input and output.)
Sixty-four steps of –1.5 dB attenuation are supported to
–94.5 dB. The digital mix datapath can also be completely
muted, preventing any mixing of the analog input with the digital input. Note that the level of the mixed signal is also a function of the input PGA settings, since they affect the ADCs’
output.
The attenuated digital mix data is digitally summed with the
DAC input data prior to the DACs’ datapath attenuators. The
digital sum of digital mix data and DAC input data is clipped at
plus or minus full scale and does not wrap around. Because both
stereo signals are mixed before the output attenuators, mix data
is attenuated a second time by the DACs’ datapath attenuators.
In case the AD1848K is capturing data but ADC output data is
not removed in time (“ADC overrun”), then the last sample
captured before overrun will be used for the digital mix. In case
the AD1848K is playing back data but input digital DAC data
fails to arrive in time (“DAC underrun”), then a midscale zero
will be added to the digital mix data.
Analog Outputs
A stereo line level output is available at external pins. Each
channel of this output can be independently muted. When
muted, the outputs will settle to a dc value near V
, the mid-
REF
scale reference voltage.
Digital Data Types
The AD1848K supports four global data types: 16-bit twoscomplement linear PCM, eight-bit unsigned linear PCM,
companded µ-law, and 8-bit companded A-law, as specified by
control register bits. Data in all four formats is always transferred MSB first. Eight-bit data is always left justified in 16-bit
fields; said in other words, the MSBs of all data types are always
aligned; in yet other words, full-scale representations in all four
formats correspond to equivalent full-scale signals. The eight
least significant bit positions of 8-bit data in 16-bit fields are
ignored on input and zeroed on output.
The 16-bit PCM data format is capable of representing 96 dB of
dynamic range. Eight-bit PCM can represent 48 dB of dynamic
range. Companded µ-law and A-law data formats use nonlinear
coding with less precision for large amplitude signals. The loss
of precision is compensated for by an increase in dynamic range
to 64 dB and 72 dB, respectively.
On input, 8-bit companded data is expanded to an internal linear representation, according to whether µ-law or A-law was
specified in the Codec’s internal registers. Note that when µ-law
compressed data is expanded to a linear format, it requires 14
bits. A-law data expanded requires 13 bits.

Internally, the AD1848K always uses 16-bit linear PCM representations to maintain maximum precision.
Power Supplies and Voltage Reference
The AD1848K operates from +5 V power supplies. Independent analog and digital supplies are recommended for optimal
performance though excellent results can be obtained in single
supply systems. A voltage reference is included on the Codec
and its 2.25 V buffered output is available on an external pin
(V
). The reference output can be used for biasing op amps
REF
used in dc coupling. The internal reference must be externally
bypassed to analog ground at the V
REF
_F pin.
Clocks and Sample Rates
The AD1848K operates from external crystals. Two crystal inputs are provided to generate a wide range of sample rates. The
oscillators for these crystals are on the AD1848K, as is a multiplexer for selecting between them. They can be overdriven with
external clocks by the user, if so desired. The recommended
crystal frequencies are 16.9344 MHz and 24.576 MHz. From
them the following sample rates are divided down: 5.5125,
The AD1848K SoundPort Stereo Codec accepts both data and
control information through its byte-wide parallel port. Indirect
addressing minimizes the number of external pins required to
access all 21 of its byte-wide internal registers. Only two
external address pins, ADR1:0, are required to accomplish all
data and control transfers. These pins select one of five direct
registers. (ADR1:0 = 3 addresses two registers, depending on
whether the transfer is a playback or a capture.)

A write to or a read from the Indexed Data Register will access
the indirect register which is indexed by the value most recently
written to the Index Address Register. The Status Register and
the PIO Data Register are always accessible directly, without indexing. The 16 indirect registers are indexed in Figure 5.

Figure 5. AD1848K Indirect Register Map
A detailed map of all direct and indirect register contents is
summarized for reference as follows:
IXA3:0Index Address. These bits define the address of the AD1848K register accessed by the Indexed Data Register. These bits
are read/write.
resReserved for future expansion. Always write a zero to this bit.
TRDTransfer Request Disable. This bit, when set, causes all data transfers to cease when the Interrupt Status (INT) bit of
the Status Register is set.
0Transfers Enabled During Interrupt. PDRQ and CDRQ pin outputs are generated uninhibited by interrupts.
DMA Current Counter Register decrements with every sample period when either PEN or CEN are enabled.
1Transfers Disabled By Interrupt. PDRQ and CDRQ pin outputs are generated only if INT bit is 0 (when either
PEN or CEN, respectively, are enabled). Any pending playback or capture requests are allowed to complete at the
time when TRD is set. After pending requests complete, midscale inputs will be internally generated for the
DACs, and the ADC output buffer will contain the last valid output. Clearing the sticky INT bit (or the TRD bit)
will cause the resumption of playback and/or capture requests (presuming PEN and/or CEN are enabled). The
DMA Current Counter Register will not decrement while both the TRD bit is set and the INT bit is a one.
MCEMode Change Enable. This bit must be set whenever the current functional mode of the AD1848K is changed. Specifi-
cally, the Clock and Data Format and Interface Configuration registers cannot be changed unless this bit is set. The
exceptions are CEN and PEN in the Interface Configuration which can be changed “on-the-fly.” MCE should be
cleared at the completion of the desired register changes. The DAC outputs are automatically muted when the MCE bit
is set. After MCE is cleared, the DAC outputs will be restored to the state specified by the LDM and RDM mute bits.
Both ADCs and DACs are automatically muted for approximately 128 sample cycles after exiting the MCE state to al-
low the reference and all filters to settle. The ADCs will produce midscale values; the DACs’ analog output will be
muted. All converters are internally operating during these ≈128 sample cycles, and the AD1848K will expect playback
data and will generate (midscale capture data. Note that the autocalibrate-in-process (ACI) bit will be set on exit from
the MCE state regardless of whether or not ACAL was set. ACI will remain HI for these ≈128 sample cycles; system
software should poll this bit rather than count cycles.
Special sequences must be followed if autocalibrate (ACAL) is set or sample rates are changed (CFS2:0 and or CSS)
during mode change enable. See the “Autocalibration” and “Changing Sample Rates” sections below.
INITAD1848K Initialization. This bit is set when the AD1848K is in a state which cannot respond to parallel bus cycles. This
bit is read only.
Immediately after reset and once the AD1848K has left the INIT state, the initial value of this register will be “0100 0000 (40h).”
During AD1848K initialization, this register cannot be written and is always read “1000 0000 (80h).”
INTInterrupt Status. This sticky bit (the only one) indicates the status of the interrupt logic of the AD1848K. This bit is
cleared by any host write of any value to this register. The IEN bit of the Pin Control Register determines whether the
state of this bit is reflected on the INT pin of the AD1848K. The only interrupt condition supported by the AD1848K is
generated by the underflow of the DMA Current Count Register.
0Interrupt pin inactive
1Interrupt pin active
PRDYPlayback Data Register Ready. The PIO Playback Data Register is ready for more data. This bit should only be used
when direct programmed I/O data transfers are desired. This bit is read only.
0DAC data is still valid. Do not overwrite.
1DAC data is stale. Ready for next host data write value.
PL/RPlayback Left/Right Sample. This bit indicates whether the PIO playback data needed is for the right channel DAC or
left channel DAC. This bit is read only.
0Right channel needed
1Left channel or mono
PU/LPlayback Upper/Lower Byte. This bit indicates whether the PIO playback data needed is for the upper or lower byte of
the channel. This bit is read only.
0Lower byte needed
1Upper byte needed or any 8-bit mode
SOURSample Over/Underrun. This bit indicates that the most recent sample was not serviced in time and therefore either a
capture overrun (COR) or playback underrun (PUR) has occurred. The bit indicates an overrun for ADC capture and
an underrun for DAC playback. If both capture and playback are enabled, the source which set this bit can be determined by reading COR and PUR. This bit changes on a sample-by-sample basis. This bit is read only.
CRDYCapture Data Ready. The PIO Capture Data Register contains data ready for reading by the host. This bit should only
be used when direct programmed I/O data transfers are desired. This bit is read only.
0ADC data is stale. Do not reread the information.
1ADC data is fresh. Ready for next host data read.
CL/RCapture Left/Right Sample. This bit indicates whether the PIO capture data waiting is for the right channel ADC or left
channel ADC. This bit is read only.
0Right channel
1Left channel or mono
CU/LCapture Upper/Lower Byte. This bit indicates whether the PIO capture data ready is for the upper or lower byte of the
channel. This bit is read only.
0Lower byte ready
1Upper byte ready or any 8-bit mode
The PRDY, CRDY, and INT bits of this status register can change asynchronously to host accesses. The host may access this register while the bits are transitioning. The host read may return a zero value just as these bits are changing, for example. A one value
would not be read until the next host access.
This registers’s initial state after reset is “1100 1100.”
The PIO Data Registers are two registers mapped to the same address. Writes send data to the PIO Playback Data Register (PD7:0).
Reads will receive data from the PIO Capture Data Register (CD7:0).
During AD1848K initialization, the PIO Playback Data Register cannot be written and the Capture Data Register is always read
“1000 0000 (80h).”
CD7:0PIO Capture Data Register. This is the control register where capture data is read during programmed I/O data transfers.
The reading of this register will increment the state machine so that the following read will be from the next appropriate
byte in the sample. The exact byte which is next to be read can be determined by reading the Status Register. Once all
relevant bytes have been read, the state machine will stay pointed to the last byte of the sample until a new sample is received from the ADCs. Once this has occurred, the state machine and status register will point to the first byte of the
sample. Until a new sample is received, reads from this register will return the most significant byte of the sample.
PD7:0PIO Playback Data Register. This is the control register where playback data is written during programmed I/O data
transfers.
Writing data to this register will increment the playback byte tracking state machine so that the following write will be
to the correct byte of the sample. Once all bytes of a sample have been written, subsequent byte writes to this port are
ignored. The state machine is reset when the current sample is sent to the DACs.

1Capture enabled
SDCSingle DMA Channel. This bit will force both capture and playback DMA requests to occur on the Playback DMA
channel. The Capture DMA CDRQ pin will be LO. This bit will allow the AD1848K to be used with only one DMA
channel. Simultaneous capture and playback cannot occur in this mode. Should both capture and playback be enabled
(CEN = PEN = 1) in the mode, only playback will occur. See “Data and Control Transfers” for further explanation.

1CDRQ or PDRQ are presently active (HI)
ACIAutocalibrate-In-Progress. This bit indicates the state of autocalibration or a recent exit from Mode Change Enable
(MCE). This bit is read only.
0Autocalibration is not in progress
1Autocalibration is in progress or MCE was exited within approximately the last 128 sample periods
PURPlayback Underrun. This bit is set when playback data has not arrived from the host in time to be played. As a result, a
midscale value will be sent to the DACs. This bit changes on a sample by sample basis.
CORCapture Overrun. This bit is set when the capture data has not been read by the host before the next sample arrives. The
sample being read will not be overwritten by the new sample. The new sample will be ignored. This bit changes on a
sample by sample basis.
The occurrence of a PUR and/or COR is designated in the Status Register’s Sample Overrun/Underrun (SOUR) bit. The SOUR bit
is the logical OR of the COR and PUR bits. This enables a polling host CPU to detect an overrun/underrun condition while checking
other status bits.
This register’s initial state after reset is “0000 0000.”
Miscellaneous Control Register (IXA3:0 = 12)
resReserved for future expansion. The bits are read only. Do not write to these bits.
ID3:0AD1848K Revision ID. These four bits define the revision level of the AD1848K. Revisions increment by one LSB. The
K-Grade revision is ID = “1010.” These bits are read only.
This register’s initial state after reset is “xxxx RRRR” where RRRR = Revision ID of the silicon in use.
DMEDigital Mix Enable. This bit will enable the digital mix of the ADCs’ output with the DACs’ input. When enabled, the
data from the ADCs are digitally mixed with other data being delivered to the DACs (regardless of whether or not play-
back [PEN] is enabled, i.e., set). If capture is enabled (CEN set) and there is a capture overrun (COR), then the last
sample captured before overrun will be used for the digital mix. If playback is enabled (PEN set) and there is a playback
underrun (PUR), then a midscale zero will be added to the digital mix data.
0Digital mix disabled (muted)
1Digital mix enabled
resReserved for future expansion. Always write a zero to this bit.
DMA5:0Digital Mix Attenuation. These bits determine the attenuation of the ADC data in mixing with the DAC input. Each
attenuate step is –1.5 dB ranging to –94.5 dB.
This register’s initial state after reset is “0000 00x0.”
DMA Base Count Registers (IXA3:0 = 14 & 15)
The DMA Base Count Registers in the AD1848K simplify integration of the AD1848K in ISA systems. The ISA DMA controller requires an external count mechanism to notify the host CPU via interrupt of a full DMA buffer. The programmable DMA Base
Count Registers will allow such interrupts to occur.
The Base Count Registers contain the number of sample periods which will occur before an interrupt is generated on the interrupt
(INT) pin. To load, first write a value to the Lower Base Count Register. Writing a value to the Upper Base Register will cause both
Base Count Registers to load into the Current Count Register. Once AD1848K transfers are enabled, each sample period the Current Count Register will decrement until zero count is reached. The next sample period after zero will generate the interrupt and reload the Current Count Register with the values in the Base Count Registers. The interrupt is cleared by a write to the Status
Register.
The Host Interrupt Pin (INT) will go HI during the sample period in which the Current Count Register underflows when Interrupt
Enable (IEN) is set. It will go LO when the Interrupt Status (INT) bit is cleared. Note that both the bit and the pin have the same
name (INT). The Current Count Register is decremented every sample period when either the PEN or CEN bit is enabled and also
either the Transfer Request Disable (TRD) bit or the Interrupt Status (INT) bit are zero. Note that the internal INT bit will become
one on counter underflow even if the external interrupt pin is not enabled, i.e., IEN is zero. The Current Count Register is
decremented in both PIO and DMA data transfer modes.
LB7:0Lower Base Count. This byte is the lower byte of the base count register containing the eight least significant bits of the
16-bit base register. Reads from this register return the same value which was written. The current count contained in
the counters cannot be read.
This register’s initial state after reset is “0000 0000.”

DATA AND CONTROL TRANSFERS
The AD1848K SoundPort Stereo Codec supports a DMA request/grant architecture for transferring data with the host computer bus. One or two DMA channels can be supported.
Programmed I/O (PIO) mode is also supported for control register accesses and for applications lacking DMA control. PIO
transfers can be made on one channel while the other is performing DMA. Transfers to and from the AD1848K SoundPort
Codec are asynchronous relative to the internal data conversion
clock. Transfers are buffered, but the AD1848K supports no internal FIFOs. The host is responsible for providing playback
data before the next digital-to-analog conversion and removing
capture data before the next analog-to-digital conversion.
Data Ordering
The number of byte-wide transfers required depends on the
data format selected. The AD1848K is designed for “little
endian” formats in which the least significant byte (i.e., occupying the lowest memory address) gets transferred first. So 16-bit
data transfers require first transferring the least significant bits
7:0 and then transferring the most significant bits 15:8, where
bit 15 is the most significant bit in the word.
In addition, left channel data is always transferred before right
channel data with the AD1848K. The following figures should
make these requirements clear.
TIME
Control and Programmed I/O (PIO) Transfers
This simpler mode of transfers is used both for control register
accesses and programmed I/O. The 21 control and PIO data
registers cannot be accessed via DMA transfers. Playback PIO is
activated when both Playback Enable (PEN) is set and Playback
PIO (PPIO) is set. Capture PIO is activated when both Capture
Enable (CEN) is set and Capture PIO (CPIO) is set. See Figures 11 and 12 for the detailed timing of the control register/
PIO transfers. The
actual read and write cycles, respectively. The host holds
RD and WR signals are used to define the
CS
LO during these transfers. The DMA Capture Data Acknowledge (
CDAK) and Playback Data Acknowledge (PDAK) must
be held inactive, i.e., HI.

AD1848K
For read/capture cycles, the AD1848K will place data on the
DATA7:0 lines while the host is asserting the read strobe,
by holding it LO. For write/playback, the host must place data
on the DATA7:0 pins while strobing the
AD1848K latches the write/playback data on the rising edge of
the
WR strobe.
When using PIO data transfers, the Status Register must be
polled to determine when data should be transferred. Note that
the ADC capture data will be ready (CRDY HI) from the previous sample period shortly before the DAC playback data is
ready (PRDY HI) for the next sample period. The user should
not wait for both ADCs and DACs to become ready before initiating data transfers. Instead, as soon as capture data is ready, it
should be read; as soon as the DACs are ready, playback data
should be written.
Values written to the XCTL1:0 bits in the Pin Control Register
(IXA3:0 = 10) will be reflected in the state of the XCTL1:0 external output pins. This feature allows a simple method for signaling or software control of external logic. Changes in state of
the external XCTL pins will occur within one sample period.
Because their change is referenced to the internal sample clock,
no useful timing diagram can be constructed.
Direct Memory Access (DMA) Transfers
The second type of bus cycle supported by the AD1848K are
DMA transfers. Both dual channel and single channel DMA operations are supported. To enable Playback DMA transfers,
playback enable (PEN) must be set and PPIO cleared. To enable Capture DMA transfers, capture enable (CEN) must be set
and CPIO cleared. During DMA transfers, the AD1848K asserts HI the Capture Data Request (CDRQ) or the Playback
Data Request (PDRQ) followed by the host’s asserting LO the
DMA Capture Data Acknowledge (
Acknowledge (
Acknowledge signals cause the AD1848K to perform DMA
transfers. The input address lines, ADR1:0, are ignored. Data is
transferred between the proper internal sample registers.
The read strobe (
for DMA transfers. Chip select (
is ignored by the AD1848K.
The AD1848K asserts the Data Request Signals, CDRQ and
PDRQ, at the rate of once per sample period, where PDRQ is
asserted near the beginning of an internal sample period and
CDRQ is asserted late in the same period to maximize the available processing time. Once asserted, these signals will remain
active HI until the corresponding DMA cycle occurs with the
host’s Data Acknowledge signals. The Data Request signals will
be deasserted after the falling edge of the final
in the transfer of a sample, which typically consists of multiple
bytes. See “Data Ordering” above for a definition of “sample.”

DMA transfers may be independently aborted by resetting the
Capture Enable (CEN) and/or Playback Enable (PEN) bits in
the Interface Configuration Register. The current capture
sample transfer will be completed if a capture DMA is terminated. The current playback sample transfer must be completed
if a playback DMA is terminated. If CDRQ and/or PDRQ are
asserted HI while the host is resetting CEN and/or PEN, the request must be acknowledged. The host must assert
or
PDAK LO and complete a final sample transfer.
Single-Channel DMA
Single-Channel DMA mode allows the AD1848K to be used in
systems with only a single DMA channel. It is enabled by setting
the SDC bit in the Interface Configuration Register. All captures and playbacks take place on the playback channel. Obviously, the AD1848K cannot perform a simultaneous capture
and playback in Single-Channel DMA mode.
Playback will occur in single-channel DMA mode exactly as it
does in Two-Channel mode. Capture, however, is diverted to
the playback channel which means that the capture data request
occurs on the PDRQ pin and the capture data acknowledge
must be received on the
inactive LO. Any inputs to
Playback and capture are distinguished in Single-Channel DMA
mode by the state of the playback enable (PEN) or capture enable (CEN) control bits. If both PEN and CEN are set in
Single-Channel DMA mode, playback will be presumed.
To avoid confusion of the origin of a request when switching between playback and capture in Single-Channel DMA mode,
both CEN and PEN should be disabled and all pending requests serviced before enabling the alternative enable bit.
Switching between playback and capture in Single-Channel
DMA mode no longer requires changing the PPIO and CPIO
bits or passing through the Mode Change Enable state except
for initial setup. For setup, assign zeros to both PPIO and
CPIO. This configures both playback and capture for DMA.
Then, switching between playback and capture can be effected
entirely by setting and clearing the PEN and CEN control bits,
a technique which avoids having to enter the Mode Change
Enable state.
DMA Timing
Below, timing parameters are shown for 8-Bit Mono Sample
Read/Capture and Write/Playback DMA transfers in Figures 13
and 14. Note that in single-channel DMA mode, the Read/
Capture cycle timing shown in Figure 13 applies to the PDRQ
and
PDAK signals, rather than the CDRQ and CDAK signals
as shown. The same timing parameters apply to multibyte transfers. The relationship between timing signals is shown in Figures 15 and 16.
The Host Interrupt Pin (INT) will go HI during the sample
period in which the Current Count Register underflows. This
event is referenced to the internal sample period clock which is
not available externally.
Writing to the internal 16-bit Base Count Register sets up the
count value for the number of samples to be transferred. Note
that the number of bytes transferred for a given count will be a
function of the selected global data format. The internal Current Count Register is updated with the current contents of the
Upper and Lower Base Count Registers when a write occurs to
the Upper Base Count Register.
The Current Count Register cannot be read by the host. Reading the Base Count Registers will only read back the initialization values written to them.
The Current Count Register is decremented every sample
period when either the PEN or CEN bit is enabled and also either
the Transfer Request Disable (TRD) bit or the Interrupt Status
(INT) bit is zero. An interrupt event is generated after the Current Count Register is zero and an additional playback sample is
transferred. The INT bit in the Status Register always reflects
the current internal interrupt state defined above. The external
INT pin will only go active HI if the Interrupt Enable (IEN) bit
in the Interface Configuration Register is set. If the IEN bit is
zero, the external INT pin will always stay LO, even though the
Status Register’s INT bit may be set.
POWER UP AND RESET
The PWRDWN pin should be held in its active LO state when
power is first applied to the AD1848K. Analog Devices recommends waiting one full second after deasserting
fore commencing audio activity with the AD1848K. This will
allow the analog outputs to fully settle to the V
prior to system autocalibration. At any point when powered, the
AD1848K can be put into a state for minimum power consumption by asserting
are shut down. The AD1848K’s parallel interface does not function; all bidirectional signal lines are in high impedance threestate.
Deasserting
initialization. While initializing, the AD1848K ignores all writes
and all reads will yield “1000 0000 (80h).” At the conclusion of
reset initialization, all registers will be set to their default values
as listed in “Control Registers” above. The conclusion of the
initialization period can be detected by polling the index register
for some value other than “1000 0000 (80h).”
It is imperative to autocalibrate on power up for proper operation. See next section.
AUTOCALIBRATION
The AD1848K can calibrate the ADCs and DACs for greater
accuracy by minimizing DC offsets. Autocalibration occurs
whenever the AD1848K returns from the Mode Change Enable
state and the ACAL bit in the Interface Configuration register
has been set. If the ACAL bit is not set, the RAM normally
containing ADC and DAC offset compensations will be saved,
retaining the offsets of the most recent autocalibration. Therefore, it is imperative to autocalibrate on power up for proper
operation.

REF
The completion of autocalibration can be determined by polling
the Autocalibrate-In-Progress (ACI) bit in the Test and Initialization Register, which will be set during autocalibration. Transfers enabled during autocalibration do not begin until the
completion of autocalibration.
The following summarizes the procedure for autocalibration:
• Mute left and right DAC outputs, AUX1 and AUX2 inputs,
and digital mix. (It is unnecessary to mute the DAC outputs,
as this will happen automatically.)
• Set the Mode Change Enable (MCE) bit.
• Set the Autocalibration (ACAL) bit.
• Clear the Mode Change Enable (MCE) bit.
• The Autocalibrate-In-Progress (ACI) bit will transition from
LO to HI within five sample periods. It will remain HI for
approximately 384 sample periods. Poll the ACI bit until it
transitions from HI to LO.
• Set to desired gain/attenuation values, and unmute DAC
outputs (if muted), AUX inputs, and digital mix.
During the autocalibration sequence, data output from the
ADCs is meaningless. Inputs to the DACs are ignored. Even if
the user specified the muting of all analog outputs, near the end
of the autocalibration sequence, dc analog outputs very close to
V
will be produced at the line output.
REF
CHANGING SAMPLE RATES
To change the selection of the current sample rate requires a
Mode Change Enable sequence since the bits which control that
selection are in the Clock and Data Format Register. The fact
that the clocks change requires a special sequence which is summarized as follows:
• If autocalibration will take place at the end of this sequence,
mute the AUX1 and AUX2 inputs and the digital mix.
• Set the Mode Change Enable (MCE) bit.
• In a single write cycle, change the Clock Frequency Divide
Select (CFS2:0) and/or the Clock Source Select (CSS).
• The AD1848K now needs to resynchronize its internal
states to the new clock. Writes to the AD1848K will be
ignored. Reads will produce “1000 0000 (80h)” until the
resynchronization is complete. Poll the Index Register until
something other than this value is returned.
• Clear the Mode Change Enable (MCE) bit.
• If ACAL is set, follow the procedure described in “Auto-
calibration” above.
• Poll the ACI hit until it transitions LO (approximately 128
sample cycles).
• Set to desired gain/attenuation values, and unmute DAC
outputs (if muted).

APPLICATIONS CIRCUITS
The AD1848K Stereo Codec has been designed to require a
minimum of external circuitry. The recommended circuits are
shown in Figures 17 through 25. Analog Devices estimates that
the total cost of all the components shown in these figures, including crystals but not including connectors, to be less than
$10 in the U.S.A. in 10,000 quantities.
See Figure 1 for an illustration of the connection between the
AD1848K SoundPort Codec and the Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) computer bus, also known as the “PC-AT bus.”
Note that the 74_245 transceiver receives its enable and direction signals directly from the Codec. Analog Devices recommends using the “slowest” 74_245 adequately fast to meet all
AD1848K and computer bus timing and drive requirements. So
doing will minimize switching transients of the 74_245. This in
turn will minimize the digital feedthrough effects of the transceiver when driving the AD1848K, which can cause the audio
noise floor to rise.
Industry-standard compact disc “line-levels” are 2 V rms centered around analog ground. (For other audio equipment, “line
level” is much more loosely defined.) The AD1848K SoundPort
is a +5 V only powered device. Line level voltage swings for the
AD1848K are defined to be 1 V rms for a sine wave ADC input
and 0.707 V rms for a sine wave DAC output. Thus, 2 V rms
input analog signals must be attenuated and either centered
around the reference voltage intermediate between 0 V and
+5 V or ac-coupled. The V
pin will be at this intermediate
REF
voltage, nominally 2.25 V. It has limited drive but can be used
as a dc bias to an op amp input. Note, however, that dc-coupled
inputs are not recommended, as they provide no performance
benefits with the AD1848K architecture. Furthermore, dc offset
differences between multiple dc-coupled inputs create the
potential for “clicks” when changing the input mux selection.
A circuit for 2 V rms line-level inputs and auxiliaries is shown in
Figure 17. Note that this is a divide-by-two resistive divider.
The input resistor and 560 pF capacitor provides the single-pole
of anti-alias filtering required for the ADCs. If line-level inputs
are already at the 1 V rms levels expected by the AD1848K, the
resistors in parallel with the 560 pF capacitors can be omitted.

The AD1848K Codec contains an optional +20 dB gain block
to accommodate condenser microphones. Particular system requirements will depend upon the characteristics of the intended
microphone. Figure 18 illustrates one example of how an electret condenser mike requiring phantom power could be connected to the AD1848K. V
a transistor like a 2N4124 will also work fine for this purpose.

Figure 22 illustrates signal-path filtering capacitors, L_FILT
and R_FILT. Note that AD1848Ks will perform satisfactorily
with 0.1 µF capacitors; increasing the value to 1.0 µF does im-
prove performance at very low frequencies, however.
The crystals shown in the crystal connection circuitry of Figure
23 should be fundamental-mode and parallel-tuned. Two
sources for the exact crystals specified are Component Marketing Services in Massachusetts, U.S. at 617-762-4339 and Cardinal Components in New Jersey, U.S. at 201-746-0333. Note
that using the exact data sheet frequencies is not required and
that external clock sources can be used to overdrive the
AD1848K’s internal oscillators. (See the description of the
CFS2:0 control bits above.) If using an external clock source,
apply it to the crystal input pins while leaving the crystal output
pins unconnected. Attention should be paid to providing low jitter external input clocks.
power supply is not available, we recommend the circuit shown
in Figure 24 for using a single +5 V supply. Ferrite beads suffice
for the inductors shown. This circuitry should be as close to the
supply pins as is practical.

Analog Devices recommends a split ground plane as shown in
Figure 25. The analog plane and the digital plane are connected
directly under the AD1848K. Splitting the ground plane directly
under the SoundPort Codec is optimal because analog pins will
be located above the analog ground plane and digital pins will
be located directly above the digital ground plane for the best
isolation. The digital ground and analog grounds should be tied
together in the vicinity of the AD1848K. Other schemes may
also yield satisfactory results. If the split ground plane recommended here is not possible, the AD1848K should be entirely
over the analog ground plane with the 74_245 transceiver over
the digital plane.
