PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The AD1859 is a complete 16-/18-bit single-chip stereo digital
audio playback subsystem. It comprises a variable rate
interpolation filter, a revolutionary multibit sigma-delta (∑∆)
modulator with dither, a jitter-tolerant DAC, switched capacitor
and continuous time analog filters, and analog output drive circuitry. Other features include an on-chip stereo attenuator and
mute, programmed through an SPI-compatible serial control
port.
The key differentiating feature of the AD1859 is its asynchronous master clock capability. Previous ∑∆ audio DACs required a high frequency master clock at 256 or 384 times the
intended audio sample rate. The generation and management
of this high frequency synchronous clock is burdensome to the
board level designer. The analog performance of conventional
single bit ∑∆ DACs is also dependent on the spectral purity of
the sample and master clocks. The AD1859 has a digital Phase
Locked Loop (PLL) which allows the master clock to be asynchronous, and which also strongly rejects jitter on the sample
clock (left/
right clock). The digital PLL allows the AD1859 to
be clocked with a single frequency (27 MHz for example) while
the sample frequency (as determined from the left/
can vary over a wide range. The digital PLL will lock to the
new sample rate in approximately 100 ms. Jitter components
15 Hz above and below the sample frequency are rejected by
6 dB per octave. This level of jitter rejection is unprecedented
in audio DACs.
The AD1859 supports continuously variable sample rates with
essentially linear phase response, and with an option for external
analog de-emphasis processing. The clock circuit includes an
on-chip oscillator, so that the user need only provide an external
crystal. The oscillator may be overdriven, if desired, with an external clock source.

DEFINITIONS
Dynamic Range
The ratio of a full-scale output signal to the integrated output
noise in the passband (0 to 20 kHz), expressed in decibels (dB).
Dynamic range is measured with a –60 dB input signal and is
equal to (S/[THD+N]) + 60 dB. Note that spurious harmonics
are below the noise with a –60 dB input, so the noise level establishes the dynamic range. This measurement technique is
consistent with the recommendations of the Audio Engineering
Society (AES17-1991) and the Electronics Industries Association
of Japan (EIAJ CP-307).
Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise (THD+N)
The ratio of the root-mean-square (rms) value of a full-scale
fundamental input signal to the rms sum of all other spectral
components in the passband, expressed in decibels (dB) and
percentage.
Passband
The region of the frequency spectrum unaffected by the attenuation of the digital interpolation filter.
Passband Ripple
The peak-to-peak variation in amplitude response from equalamplitude input signal frequencies within the passband, expressed in decibels.
Stopband
The region of the frequency spectrum attenuated by the digital interpolation filter to the degree specified by “stopband
attenuation.”
Gain Error
With a near full-scale input, the ratio of actual output to expected output, expressed as a percentage.
Interchannel Gain Mismatch
With identical near full-scale inputs, the ratio of outputs of the
two stereo channels, expressed in decibels.
Gain Drift
Change in response to a near full-scale input with a change in
temperature, expressed as parts-per-million (ppm) per °C.
Crosstalk (EIAJ method)
Ratio of response on one channel with a zero input to a full-scale
1 kHz sine-wave input on the other channel, expressed in decibels.
Interchannel Phase Deviation
Difference in output sampling times between stereo channels,
expressed as a phase difference in degrees between 1 kHz inputs.
Power Supply Rejection
With zero input, signal present at the output when a 300 mV
p-p signal is applied to power supply pins, expressed in decibels
of full scale.
Group Delay
Intuitively, the time interval required for an input pulse to appear at the converter’s output, expressed in seconds (s). More
precisely, the derivative of radian phase with respect to radian
frequency at a given frequency.
Group Delay Variation
The difference in group delays at different input frequencies.
Specified as the difference between the largest and the smallest
group delays in the passband, expressed in microseconds (µs).

AD1859
(continued from page 1)
The AD1859 has a simple but very flexible serial data input port
that allows for glueless interconnection to a variety of ADCs,
DSP chips, AES/EBU receivers and sample rate converters.
The serial data input port can be configured in left-justified,
2
I
S-justified, right-justified and DSP serial port compatible
modes. The AD1859 accepts 16- or 18-bit serial audio data in
MSB-first, twos-complement format. A power-down mode is
offered to minimize power consumption when the device is inactive. The AD1859 operates from a single +5 V power supply. It
is fabricated on a single monolithic integrated circuit using a
0.6 µM CMOS double polysilicon, double metal process, and is
housed in 28-pin SOIC and SSOP packages for operation over
the temperature range –40°C to +105°C.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD1859 offers the advantages of sigma-delta conversion
architectures (no component trims, low cost CMOS process
technology, superb low level linearity performance) with the
advantages of conventional multibit R-2R resistive ladder audio
DACs (no requirement for any high frequency synchronous master
clocks [e.g., 256 or 384 × F
] continuously variable sample rate
S
support, jitter tolerance, low output noise, etc.).
The use of a multibit sigma-delta modulator means that the
AD1859 generates dramatically lower amounts of out-of-band
noise energy, which greatly reduces the requirement on post
DAC filtering. The required post-filtering is integrated on the
AD1859. The AD1859’s multibit sigma-delta modulator is also
highly immune to digital substrate noise.
The digital phase locked loop feature gives the AD1859 an unprecedented jitter rejection feature. The bandwidth of the first
order loop filter is 15 Hz; jitter components on the input
left/
right clock are attenuated by 6 dB per octave above and below 15 Hz. Jitter on the crystal time base or MCLK input is rejected as well (by virtue of the on-chip switched capacitor filter),
but this clock should be low jitter because it is used by the DAC
to convert the audio from the discrete time (sampled) domain to
the continuous time (analog) domain. The AD1859 includes an
on-chip oscillator, so that the user need only provide an inexpensive quartz crystal or ceramic resonator as an external time base.
Serial Audio Data Interface
The serial audio data interface uses the bit clock (BCLK) simply
to clock the data into the AD1859. The bit clock may, therefore, be asynchronous to the L/
(L
RCLK) is both a framing signal, and the sample frequency input
to the digital phase locked loop. The left/
R clock. The left/right clock
right
clock (LRCLK) is
the signal that the AD1859 actually uses to determine the input
sample rate, and it is the jitter on L
RCLK that is rejected by the
digital phase locked loop. The SDATA input carries the serial
stereo digital audio in MSB first, twos-complement format.
Digital Interpolation Filter
The purpose of the interpolator is to “oversample” the input
data, i.e., to increase the sample rate so that the attenuation requirements on the analog reconstruction filter are relaxed. The
AD1859 interpolator increases the input data sample rate by a
variable factor depending on the sample frequency of the incoming digital audio. The interpolation is performed using a multistage FIR digital filter structure. The first stage is a droop
equalizer; the second and third stages are half-band filters; and
the fourth stage is a second-order comb filter. The FIR filter
implementation is multiplier-free, i.e., the multiplies are performed using shift-and-add operations.
Multibit Sigma-Delta Modulator
The AD1859 employs a four-bit sigma-delta modulator. Whereas a
traditional single bit sigma-delta modulator has two levels of quantization, the AD1859’s has 17 levels of quantization. Traditional
single bit sigma-delta modulators sample the input signal at 64
times the input sample rate; the AD1859 samples the input signal at nominally 128 times the input sample rate. The additional quantization levels combined with the higher oversampling
ratio means that the AD1859 DAC output spectrum contains
dramatically lower levels of out-of-band noise energy, which is a
major stumbling block with more traditional single bit sigmadelta architectures. This means that the post-DAC analog reconstruction filter has reduced transition band steepness and
attenuation requirements, which equates directly to lower phase
distortion. Since the analog filtering generally establishes the
noise and distortion characteristic of the DAC, the reduced
requirements translate into better audio performance.
Multibit sigma-delta modulators bring an additional benefit:
they are essentially free of stability (and therefore potential loop
oscillation) problems. They are able to use a wider range of the
voltage reference, which can increase the overall dynamic range
of the converter.
The conventional problem which limits the performance of
multibit sigma delta converters is the nonlinearity of the passive
circuit elements used to sum the quantization levels. Analog
Devices has developed (and been granted patents on) a revolutionary architecture which overcomes the component linearity
problem that otherwise limits the performance of multibit sigma
delta audio converters. This new architecture provides the
AD1859 with the same excellent differential nonlinearity and
linearity drift (over temperature and time) specifications as
single bit sigma-delta DACs.
The AD1859’s multibit modulator has another important advantage; it has a high immunity to substrate digital noise. Substrate noise can be a significant problem in mixed-signal
designs, where it can produce intermodulation products that
fold down into the audio band. The AD1859 is approximately
eight times less sensitive to digital substrate noise (voltage reference noise injection) than equivalent single bit sigma-delta
modulator based DACs.
Dither Generator
The AD1859 includes an on-chip dither generator, which is intended to further reduce the quantization noise introduced by
the multibit DAC. The dither has a triangular Probability Distribution Function (PDF) characteristic, which is generally considered to create the most favorable noise shaping of the residual
quantization noise. The AD1859 is among the first low cost, IC
audio DACs to include dithering.
Analog Filtering
The AD1859 includes a second-order switched capacitor discrete time low-pass filter followed by a first-order analog continuous time low-pass filter. These filters eliminate the need for
any additional off-chip external reconstruction filtering. This
on-chip switched capacitor analog filtering is essential to reduce
the deleterious effects of any remaining master clock jitter.

Option for Analog De-emphasis Processing
The AD1859 includes three pins for implementing an external
analog 50/15 µs (or possibly the CCITT J. 17) de-emphasis fre-
quency response characteristic. A control pin DEEMP (Pin 2)
enables de-emphasis when it is asserted HI. Two analog outputs, EMPL (Pin 3) and EMPR (Pin 26) are used to switch the
required analog components into the output stage of the AD1859.
An analog implementation of de-emphasis is superior to a digital
implementation in several ways. It is generally lower noise, since
digital de-emphasis is usually created using recursive IIR filters,
which inject limit cycle noise. Also the digital de-emphasis is being applied in front of the primary analog noise generation source,
the DAC modulator, and its high frequency noise contributions
are not attenuated. An analog de-emphasis circuit is downstream from the relatively “noisy” DAC modulator and thus provides a more effective noise reduction role (which was the original
intent of the emphasis/de-emphasis scheme). A final key advantage of analog de-emphasis is that it is sample rate invariant, so
that users can fully exploit the sample rate range of the AD1859
and simultaneously use de-emphasis. Digital implementations generally only support fixed, standard sample rates.
Digital Phase Locked Loop
The digital PLL is adaptive, and locks to the applied sample rate
(on the L
RCLK Pin 13) in 100 ms to 200 ms. The digital PLL
is initially in “fast” mode, with a wide lock capture bandwidth.
The phase detector automatically switches the loop filter into
“slow” mode as phase lock is gradually obtained. The loop
bandwidth is 15 Hz in slow mode. Since the loop filter is first
order, the digital PLL will reject jitter on the left/
right clock
above 15 Hz, with an attenuation of 6 dB per octave. The jitter
rejection frequency response is shown in Figure 1.

OPERATING FEATURES
Serial Data Input Port
The AD1859 uses the frequency of the left/right input clock to
determine the input sample rate. L
RCLK must run continuously and transition twice per stereo sample period (except in
the left-justified DSP serial port style mode, when it transitions
four times per stereo sample period). The bit clock (BCLK) is
edge sensitive and may be used in a gated or burst mode (i.e., a
stream of pulses during data transmission followed by periods of
inactivity). The bit clock is only used to write the audio data
into the serial input port. It is important that the left/
is “clean” with monotonic rising and falling edge transitions and
no excessive overshoot or undershoot which could cause false
clock triggering of the AD1859.
The AD1859’s flexible serial data input port accepts data in
twos-complement, MSB-first format. The left channel data
field always precedes the right channel data field. The input
data consists of either 16 or 18 bits, as established by the 18/
input control (Pin 8). All digital inputs are specified to TTL
logic levels. The input data port is configured by control pins.

to an L
RCLK transition. LRCLK is HI for the left channel,
RCLK transition, and the LSB is right-justified
and LO for the right channel. Data is valid on the rising edge of
BCLK. Packed mode can be used when the AD1859 is programmed in either right-justified or left-justified mode. Packed
mode is shown in Figure 6.
Serial Control Port
The AD1859 serial control port is SPI compatible. SPI
(Serial Peripheral Interface) is a serial port protocol popularized
by Motorola’s family of microcomputer and microcontroller
products. The write-only serial control port gives the user access to channel specific mute and attenuation. The AD1859
serial control port consists of three signals, control clock CCLK
(Pin 19), control data CDATA (Pin 20), and control latch
CLATCH (Pin 21). The control data input (CDATA) must be
valid on the control clock (CCLK) rising edge, and the control
clock (CCLK) must only make a LO to HI transition when
there is valid data. The control latch (CLATCH) must make a
LO to HI transition after the LSB has been clocked into the
AD1859, while the control clock (CCLK) is inactive. The timing relation between these signals is shown in Figure 7.
The serial control port is byte oriented. The data is MSB first,
and is unsigned. There is a control register for the left channel
and a control register for the right channel, as distinguished by
the MSB (DATA7). The bits are assigned as shown in Figure 8.
The left channel control register and the right channel control register have identical power up and reset default settings. DATA6,
the Mute control bit, reset default state is LO, which is the normal (nonmuted) setting. DATA5:0, the Atten5 through Atten0
control bits, have a reset default value of 00 0000, which is an
attenuation of 0.0 dB (i.e., full scale, no attenuation). The intent
with these reset defaults is to enable AD1859 applications without requiring the use of the serial control port. For those users
that do not use the serial control port, it is still possible to mute
the AD1859 output by using the external MUTE (Pin 7) signal.
It is recommended that the output be muted for approximately
1000 input sample periods during power-up or following any
radical sample rate change (>5%) to allow the digital phase
locked loop to settle.
Note that the serial control port timing is asynchronous to the
serial data input port timing. Changes made to the attenuator
level will be updated on the next edge of the L
RCLK after the
CLATCH write pulse. The AD1859 has been designed to resolve the potential for metastability between the L
RCLK edge
and the CLATCH write pulse rising edge. The attenuator setting is guaranteed to be valid even if the L
The asynchronous master clock of the AD1859 can be supplied
by either an external clock source applied to XTALI/MCLK or
by connecting a crystal across the XTALI/MCLK and XTALO
pins, and using the on-chip oscillator. If a crystal is used, it
should be fundamental-mode and parallel-tuned. Figure 9
shows example connections.
The range of audio sample rates (as determined from the
L
RCLK input) supported by the AD1859 is a function of the
master clock rate (i.e., the crystal frequency or external clock
source frequency) applied. The highest sample rate supported
can be computed as follows:
Highest Sample Rate = Master Clock Frequency ÷ 512
The lowest sample rate supported can be computed as follows:
Lowest Sample Rate = Master Clock Frequency ÷ 1024

Mute and Attenuation
The AD1859 offers two methods of muting the analog output.
By asserting the MUTE (Pin 7) signal HI, both the left channel
and the right channel are muted. As an alternative, the user can
assert the mute bit in the serial control registers HI for individual mute of either the left channel or the right channel. The

AD1859 has been designed to minimize pops and clicks when
muting and unmuting the device. The AD1859 includes a zero
crossing detector which attempts to implement attenuation
changes on waveform zero crossings only. If a zero crossing is
not found within 1024 input sample periods (approximately
23 ms at 44.1 kHz), the attenuation change is made regardless.
Output Drive, Buffering and Loading
The AD1859 analog output stage is able to drive a 2 kΩ load. If
lower impedance loads must be driven, an external buffer stage
such as the Analog Devices SSM2142 should be used. The
analog output is generally ac coupled with a 10 µF capacitor,
even if the optional de-emphasis circuit is not used, as shown in
Figure 17. It is possible to dc couple the AD1859 output into an
op amp stage using the CMOUT signal as a bias point.
On-Chip Voltage Reference
The AD1859 includes an on-chip voltage reference that establishes the output voltage range. The nominal value of this reference is +2.25 V which corresponds to a line output voltage
swing of 3 V p-p. The line output signal is centered around a
voltage established by the CMOUT (common mode) output
(Pin 1). The reference must be bypassed both on the FILT input (Pin 28) with 10 µF and 0.1 µF capacitors, and on the
CMOUT output (Pin 1) with a 10 µF and 0.1 µF capacitors, as
shown in Figures 17 and 18. The FILT pin must use the
FGND ground, and the CMOUT pin must use the AGND
ground. The on-chip voltage reference may be overdriven with
an external reference source by applying this voltage to the
FILT pin. CMOUT and FILT must still be bypassed as shown
in Figures 17 and 18. An external reference can be useful to
calibrate multiple AD1859 DACs to the same gain. Reference
bypass capacitors larger than those suggested can be used to improve the signal-to-noise performance of the AD1859.
Power Down and Reset
The PD/RST input (Pin 11) is used to control the power consumed by the AD1859. When
is placed in a low dissipation power-down state. When
PD/RST is held LO, the AD1859
PD/RST
is brought HI, the AD1859 becomes ready for normal operation.
The master clock (XTALI/MCLK, Pin 16) must be running for
a successful reset or power-down operation to occur. The
PD/RST
signal must be LO for a minimum of four master clock periods
(approximately 150 ns with a 27 MHz XTALI/MCLK
frequency).
When the
PD/RST input (Pin 11) is asserted brought HI, the
AD1859 is reset. All registers in the AD1859 digital engine (serial data port, interpolation filter and modulator) are zeroed, and
the amplifiers in the analog section are shorted during the reset
operation. The two registers in the serial control port are initialized to their default values. The user should wait 100 ms after
bringing
PD/RST HI before using the serial data input port and
the serial control input port in order for the digital phase locked
loop to re-acquire lock. The AD1859 has been designed to
minimize pops and clicks when entering and exiting the powerdown state.
Control Signals
The IDPM0, IDPM1, 18/16, and DEEMP control inputs are
normally connected HI or LO to establish the operating state of
the AD1859. They can be changed dynamically (and asynchronously to the L
stable before the first serial data input bit (i.e., the MSB) is presented to the AD1859.

Layout and Decoupling Considerations
The recommended decoupling, bypass circuits for the AD1859
are shown in Figure 17. Figure 17 illustrates a connection diagram for systems which do not require de-emphasis support.
The recommended circuit connection for system including deemphasis is shown in Figure 18.
The AD1859 ideally should be located above a split ground
plane, with the digital pins over the digital ground plane, and
the analog pins over the analog ground plane. The split should
occur between Pins 6 and 7 and between Pins 22 and 23 as
shown in Figure 19. The ground planes should be tied together
at one spot underneath the center of the package with an approximately 3 mm trace. This ground plane strategy minimizes
RF transmission and reception as well as maximizes the AD1859’s
analog audio performance.
