Conexant's CX20671 HD Audio codec SoC is a low-power,102 dB SNR, highperformance audio codec with integrated 2-WRMS (per channel) stereo speaker
amplifier with Spread Spectrum EMI dispersion technology. Two independent pairs of
DACs and three independent pairs of ADCs support Multi-Streaming and Real Time
Communications applications. The audio fidelity of the device exceeds Microsoft WLP
4.0 Desktop and Notebook Premium Logo requirements. Additionally, the device
achieves a high level of integration by featuring an integrated 5 V to 3.3 V Low-dropout
(LDO) voltage regulator that guarantees high performance analog audio performance
without incurring external BOM, and an integrated 3.3 V to 1.8 V low-dropout voltage
regulator used to power internal digital blocks.
The device features a ProCoustic capless headphone driver. This high-output power
headphone driver delivers 50 mW per channel into a 32
for an external headphone amplifier and DC-blocking capacitors, and produces a full
range frequency response without sacrificing the output level. The ProCoustic
headphone driver provides a true high-definition listening experience from the PC for
the audio aficionado. All output ports feature PopShield circuitry that eliminates pops
or clicks.
The CX20671 also features Conexant's D-Flex power management scheme, which
allows the system to exceed the power savings specified in the Intel ECR 15B
requirement. The entire audio SOC consumes 16.79 mW during S0-idle. The internal
Wake-on-PC-Beep logic resumes the analog paths for the external PC-Beep to
propagate through to the output ports.
The CX20671 features one single-bit stream digital microphone interface, which
allows interfacing to two digital microphones for dual microphone array
implementations. The Digital Microphone Interface (DMI) is optimized with a hardware
DC-level filter, which compensates for digital microphones with DC offset limitations.
Conexant has qualified many digital microphones and listed them on the Approved
Vendor List (AVL), providing the OEM and the ODM with more selections and
flexibility. The audio codec features an independent SPDIF out supporting sample
rates up to 96 kHz, 16-24-bit resolution.
The device is compliant with Intel's High Definition Audio Specification (Revision 1.0),
as well as the ECR 15B power management scheme.
Conexant offers the most comprehensive software options:
In-house developed Voice Processing Algorithms enhances the clarity of VoIP calls
SoftEQ with Dynamic Range Compression improves the sound quality of low cost
3D Expander widens the audio stage for fuller and richer sound.

Additionally, the following power-sequencing requirements must be met:
For best performance of audible pop/click suppression, VAUX_3.3 supply should
always ramp up before any of the other power supplies, and should ramp down
after all other power supplies have ramped down. It is highly recommended that
VAUX_3.3 voltage be near its final value before beginning ramp-up of AVDD_5V
rail.
DVDD_3.3 should always be present when AVDD_5V is present. If DVDD_3.3 is
removed when AVDD_5V is present, the device may be damaged.

All 5 V supplies (AVDD_5V, LPWR_5.0, RPWR_5.0) can be removed while
DVDD_3.3 is present.
To support Wake-On-Jack functionality, VAUX_3.3 and VDD_IO should be
powered from a power supply that is never removed (unless AC power is
removed). If no such support is required, VAUX_3.3 and VDD_IO can be powered
from same supply as DVDD_3.3. Sense resistors should ALWAYS use same
supply as VAUX_3.3 power pin.
The current and power consumption for each of the power pins is shown in Tables 12

2.5.3Integrated Low-Dropout Regulators
The devices feature two integrated low-dropout voltage regulators:
A 5 V to 3.3 V regulator: The output of this voltage regulator (AVDD_3.3) can be
used to power external circuitry (low-power analog for example). However, external
current consumption from the regulator should be limited to no more than 30 mA.
Additionally, caution should be used when powering external circuitry; use filtering
(ferrite bead + capacitor, for example) to prevent the external circuitry from adding
noise to the AVDD_3.3 voltage rail.
A 3.3 V to 1.8 V regulator: The output of this voltage regulator (FILT_1.8) can also
be used to power external circuitry (discrete logic, for example).

2.6Integrated High-Pass Filter
The CX20671 device features a hardware digital high-pass filter, intended to be used
with the class-D speaker amplifier. The cut-off frequency can be adjusted from 15 Hz
to 945 Hz, in 15-Hz steps (30 Hz to1890 Hz, in 30-Hz steps for -21Z devices),
depending on the value present in the appropriate 6-bit control register. Note that a
setting of 000000b in the control register bypasses the filter.
By default, the high-pass filter is automatically applied to the DAC that is connected
(mapped) to the class-D speaker amplifier. This “DAC tracking” mode can be disabled,
and the high-pass filter can be applied to any DAC, regardless of the port connected to
it. There are two ways to set the high-pass cut-off frequency:
DAC tracking mode: This is the typical mode of operation. This mode needs to be
enabled, as it is not the default mode. The high-pass filter tracks the DAC that is
connected to (mapped to) the class-D amplifier, but the 3 dB frequency is manually
set by writing to the 6-bit control register.
Fully manual mode: This mode needs to be enabled as it is not the default mode.
The cut-off frequency can be set manually writing to the 6-bit control register. The
DAC to which the filter is applied can also be selected manually by writing to the
appropriate control register. Note that no typical application will use this mode.
The high-pass filter response for a specific setting is shown in the figure below. Note
that, since it is a first-order filter, it rolls off at -20 dB/decade, or -6 dB/octave.

HD Audio Interface
Verbs are commands and queries that are passed from the HD Audio Controller to the
codecs on the HD Audio bus. Responses are data-passed from the HD Audio codec to
the HD Audio Controller. All Controller Verbs must be followed by a Codec Response,
Unsolicited Responses from the codec is data transmitted without a Controller verb
request.
A “1” in the Valid bit position indicates the Response Field contains a valid response. A
“1” in the UnSol bit position is meaningful only when the Valid bit is set and indicates
that the response is Unsolicited rather than in reply to a verb. The 32 actual response
bits vary in format and are each documented in the HD Audio Specification defined by
Intel.
For more information regarding verbs and Controller and Codec Command and
Control protocol, refer to the HD Audio Specification from Intel Corporation.
3.1HD Audio Interface Overview
The HD Audio interface is a 5-pin interface: Clock (BIT_CLK), serial data in
(SDATA_IN), serial data out (SDATA_OUT), SYNC, and RESET#. The clock is
provided by the controller at a frequency of 24 MHz. The SDATA_OUT signal is
provided by the controller and contains data for every edge of the 24 MHz clock.
Therefore, the CX20671 must sample data on both rising and falling edges of
SDATA_OUT.
Sync not only signals the beginning of the 500 clock frame; it designates the beginning
of the data for each stream and indicates which stream of data will be on SDATA_OUT
next. (Streams do not need to appear in order, the controller may do as it likes.)
Channels are another way of organizing the serial data. Each stream has at least one
channel. Each stream must start with channel 0 and proceed without interruption until
all the assigned channels are exhausted. A stereo pair takes two adjacent channels.
So, if DAC1 is in stereo mode and DAC1 is assigned channel 0 then the left data will
be on channel 0 and the right on channel1. If DAC2 were then assigned channel 2 and
it were also stereo (and the same stream as DAC1) its left data would be on channel 2
and its right on channel 3.
SDATA_IN contains the CX20671 data headed towards the controller. It is only
generated on rising edges. This includes information read from the HD Audio
“registers”, ADC and incoming modem data. Stream and channel is indicated before
the data is transmitted on SDATA_IN. See the HD Audio specification for that format.
SDATA_IN is also responsible for knowing which device number (CAD in the HD
Audio specification). During the last clock of the first sync after a power on reset, the
SDATA_IN is driven high by CX20671 for one clock cycle. This indicates to the
controller the need for a CAD. The CX20671 then stops driving the SDATA_IN signal
and the controller begins to drive it. The controller drives SDATA_IN high through the

next sync, and the CAD is assigned by the number of clocks after the fall of sync that it
takes for the SDATA_IN to fall. Then, the interface turns around again, and SDATA_IN
is an output from CX20671 until reset.
The HD Audio specification also contains one other concept that is worth mentioning.
That is the concept of an unsolicited message. Unsolicited messages can occur for a
number of reasons: timers, ringing phones, answers from the CX20548 device to a
register read (etc.). Since the bus has no interrupt, these are taken care of in
unsolicited messages. If the controller was not addressing the CAD assigned to the
CX20671 during the previous frame, and if one of these unsolicited messages is
needed (and enabled), the CX20671 will use the first cycles after the sync on
SDATA_IN to alert the controller to the event. Only one event can be signaled in a
frame.
The CX20671 will send the message once and only once. It does not expect any sort
of acknowledgement from the controller.
3.2Verbs
This section describes how this device interacts with the Verbs defined in the High
Definition Audio Specification revision 1.0. Each of the following subsections
describes the Verb ID's, parameters/payload, and corresponding responses that apply
to that node.
Each node in the codec is addressed using a Codec Address (CAd), assigned to the
codec during initialization, and the Node's Unique ID (NID). The concatenation of CAd
and NID provide a unique address allowing commands to reference a single specific
node within the audio subsystem.
The entire Verb is formed by pre-pending the CAd and the NID to the Verb ID and
parameter/payload. In the following tables and descriptions, the CAd and NID are not
listed as part of the Verb.
Register values may have up to five letters included with their default value. These
letters indicate which of the possible reset events will force the register to its default
value. The five resets are as follows:
'P' for power-on reset
'R' for HD Audio reset pin assertion
'V' for single verb reset
W' for double verb reset
'D' for D-state change reset
Only the letters in the list will force the register to its default value.
Bold values in the tables below, related to Supported Power States, apply when
Extended Power State Support (EPSS) is enabled. EPSS is enabled by default on
-21Z devices. For -11Z devices, the indication of EPSS support can be enabled in the
Test Registers (Vendor-defined Node 25); it is disabled by default.

NOTE:
The two entries under Default for “Get Amplifier Gain/Mute” are
because this is a mono widget. Only the left channel request is valid.
Any request, read or write, having to do with only the right channel,
should be ignored and will return 0000 0000h. If both left and right are

3.2.11Node ID 20: Port H, S/PDIF Digital Pin Widget
The following table describes a digital output Pin Widget with jack sense.
NOTE:
The two entries in “Get Pin Capabilities” are controlled by an HDMI
enable bit in the Vendor Test Node (25). Power-on reset will default the
HDMI bit to be off (top entry). Writing a 1 to the test bit will add the HDMI
indication to the pin capabilities.
Setting the Pin Widget output enable to 0 (disable output) should act as
if the S/PDIF Vcfg bit was set to 0 and the V bit set to 1. This “mutes” the
transmitter by marking all the data as invalid. But the S/PDIF clock,
header, and data must still be sent. Setting the Pin Widget output
enable to 1 allows the transmitter to behave as requested by the V and
Vcfg bits.
