If high, the ERROR pin stays high until th e cause of the error is removed AND
the HOLDERR pin goes low.

outputs but not clock outputs
All outputs are derived from the input
optical format data stream on the OPDIGIN
(pin 6). WDCLK is an output.
Slave Mode:
DAC outputs, USER outputs, BCLK and
SVCO outputs are synchronized to WDCLK,
which is an input.
In Slave mode, WDCLK may be at an
arbitrary phase with respect to the incoming
samplesofOPDIGIN,butifthefrequencies
aren’t identical samples will be dropped,
repeated, or garbled.Generally, identical
frequencies are achieved by either: using
DVCO (pin 18) as the source from which
WDCLK is generated, or creating OPDIGIN
from a source synchronized to WDCLK.
The AL1402 OptoRec interface has been
designed for ease of use and flexibility in
systems designed to interface to the ADAT
â
protocol. It supports both left and right
justified data formats for ease of integration
into existing devices as well as new devices.
These formats allow it to operate in parallel
with many standard ADC’s.
The designer uses the FMT0, FMT1, MODE0
and MODE1 pins to select the desired
format and mode.
The format pins are summarized in Table 3,
Formats. The A L1402 provides support for
â
both the ADAT
the ADAT
â
Type I format (16-bit) and
Type II format (20-bit).Data
output is 24 bit. Data input lengths up to
24 bits is supported.

Figure E. OptoGen/OptoRec setup
The OptoGen accepts input from an ADC, then outputs the Alesis optical format. The
OptoRec accepts input in Alesis optical format, then outputs to a DAC.
The clock and data outputs of the AL1402
are undefined after power-up until a proper
data stream is well established at OPDIGIN
(pin 6). The clock outputs may be running
at an uncontrolled frequency. In this case,
the ERROR pin will be high, indicating that
theoutputsareinvalid. Thismaybe
prevented by applying logic one to FORMAT1
(pin 4) and logic zero to FORMAT0 (pin 3) on
power-up. This resets the AL1402, stopping
the VCO clocks and muting the data output.
The FORMAT pins may then be set to the
value required in your system. Nevertheless
the AL1402 will synchronize and produce
proper outputs when proper and valid
inputs are provided, whether this reset
procedure is used or not.
The AL1402 in Master Mode canalso
produceclockoutputsrunningat
uncontrolled frequencies if the digital input
becomes unstable after stable use, due
mostly to poor connection of the optical
cable to the optical connector.If this is
unwanted in the system an external AND
implementation can be used to correct this.
The inverted error pin and the desired
AL1402 output clock are inputs to the AND
andthedesiredmutableclockisoutput.
This AND function will mute the selected
AL1402 clock when the error pin is high (i.e.
when unstable input is present at OpDigIn).
Care should be taken when running the
AL1402 withthe AL1201DAC as the
AL1201 DAC will output noise if the AL1402
WDCLK is at an uncontrolled VCO frequency
