The versatility of the device is shown by the following examples 
of functions it can perform:
• Stereo audio input and/or quad output, simultaneously at dif-
ferent sample rates
• Stereo audio output with simultaneous full duplex modem or
fax operation with frequency and phase resampling
• Mono audio input and stereo audio output with simultaneous
modem receive and transmit for simultaneous voice and data 
communications
• Dual independent audio inputs with audio output for echo-
cancelling speakerphones
Audio Functional Description
The AD1843 SoundComm codec provides a complete audio solution with very few external components required. Dynamic 
range of the device exceeds 80 dB over the 20 kHz audio band 
and sample rates from 4 kHz to 49 kHz are supported (up to 
54 kHz for a single channel if other channels are powered 
down). The audio functionality of this device is a superset of 
that found in the Analog Devices AD1848 SoundPort
®
 device 
which has set the business audio standard throughout the computer industry.
Inputs to the device include a stereo microphone pair, a stereo 
line pair, a stereo CD input pair (AUX1), a stereo synthesized 
music input pair (AUX2), a dual phone line input (AUX3), a 
mono input, and a stereo input from an FM synthesizer (SUM). 
All of these inputs (except SUM) are multiplexed to the two ∑∆ 
A/D converters and are mixable directly as analog signals with 
the outputs of the D/A converters. All analog input signals (except SUM) can be amplified, attenuated or muted before mixing with the outputs of the D/A converters.
The device has two pairs of ∑∆ DACs which accept 8- or 16-bit 
digital data from the serial port. Each DAC pair’s independent 
sampling rate can either be programmed by Control Register 
(with 1 Hz resolution) or synchronized to an external input. 
The second pair of DACs can be used to replace the music synthesis DAC pair found on many audio products for PCs. Outputs from the AD1843 include a line output, a mono output, a 
stereo headphone output with its own current return path, and a

differential stereo output for connection to a DAA. The line and 
differential outputs are looped back to the ADC input selector.
The AD1843’s mixing and routing capabilities are extensive. 
The digital data from both DAC channels after interpolation 
can be routed back to the ADC decimators, to support digitalto-digital sample rate conversion (digital resampling). Digital 
data from the ADC can also be routed to the two stereo DAC 
pairs, for a digital loopback mode which is helpful for devicelevel and board-level test. Digital data from either stereo DAC 
can be mixed with the digital data feeding the other DAC, and 
the analog signal from DAC2 can be mixed with the analog output from DAC1.
Sample rates are independently programmable in the range of 
4 kHz to 54 kHz to a 1 Hz resolution or sample rates can be 
synchronized to an external source. Up to three different signals 
can be applied to the device’s three digital phase lock loop 
SYNC inputs for external synchronization.
These SYNC inputs can also be used in a special mode for audio/video synchronization. In this mode, an NTSC or PAL derived clock signal (approximately 15 kHz) is applied to the 
SYNC inputs and the device produces one of a variety of standard audio sample rates (32 kHz, 44.056 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 
48 kHz, and most of these divided by the integers 1 through 8). 
In this manner, video and audio sample rates which are mathematically unrelated can be locked together.
Data Communications/Telephony Functional Description
The AD1843 includes all data conversion, filtering, and clock 
generation circuitry needed to implement an echo-cancelling 
modem with a companion digital signal processor. Softwareprogrammable sample rates and clocking modes support all 
established modem standards including those for the V.34 
standard.
The AD1843 utilizes advanced ∑∆ technology to move the 
entire echo-cancelling modem implementation into the digital 
domain. The device maintains 90 dB typical dynamic range 
throughout all filtering and data conversion across a 9.6 kHz 
passband. Purely DSP-based echo cancellation algorithms can 
maintain robust bit error rates under worst-case signal attenuation and echo amplitude conditions. The AD1843’s on-chip 
interpolation filter resamples (both frequency and phase) the received signal after echo cancellation in the DSP, freeing the processor for other voice or data communications tasks.
