DESCRIPTION

The PCM1740 is a complete stereo audio digital-to-analog
converter with on-chip PLL and VCXO. The PCM1740 is
designed specifically for set-top box applications requiring
high-quality audio playback, a precision tuned 27MHz mas­ter clock source, and support for multiple audio-sampling
frequencies.

The stereo D/A converter utilizes multi-bit, delta-sigma
architecture, which includes an 8x interpolation filter, third­order noise shaping, 5-level amplitude quantization, and an
analog low-pass filter. The PCM1740 includes a number of
user-programmable functions, which are accessed via a
standard I2C-Bus interface.

DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Burr-Brown
recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling
and installation procedures can cause damage.

ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation
to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may
be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric
changes could cause the device not to meet its published
specifications.

STEREO DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG
CONVERTER

The stereo D/A converters of the PCM1740 utilize a multi­level delta-sigma architecture. Based upon a third-order
noise shaper and a 5-level amplitude quantizer, this section
converts the 8x oversampled, 18-bit input data from the
interpolation filter to a 5-level delta-sigma format. A block
diagram of the multi-level delta-sigma modulator is shown
in Figure 1. This architecture has the advantage of improved
stability and increased tolerance to clock jitter when com­pared to the one-bit (2-level) delta-sigma D/A converters.

The combined oversampling rate of the delta-sigma modu­lator and the 8x interpolation filter is 48fS for a 384fS system
clock, and 64fS for a 256fS system clock. The theoretical
quantization noise performance for the 5-level delta-sigma
modulator is shown in Figure 2.

The output of the delta-sigma modulator is low-pass filtered
and buffered by an on-chip output amplifier. For best
performance, an external low-pass filter is recommended.
Refer to the “Applications Information” section of this data
sheet for details regarding DAC output filter recommenda­tions.

The PCM1740 includes two analog outputs, V

OUT

L (pin 14)

and V

R (pin 11), corresponding to the left and right
audio outputs. The full-scale output amplitude is 0.62 • VCC,
or 3.1Vp-p with a +5V supply and an AC coupled load of
5kΩ or greater. The analog outputs are centered about the
DC common mode voltage, which is typically VCC/2.

The DC common-mode voltage is made available at the
V

output (pin 15). This is an unbuffered output, prima-

VOLTAGE CONTROLLED CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR
(VCXO)

The PCM1740 includes an on-chip voltage-controlled crys­tal oscillator, or VCXO, which is used to generate the
27MHz master clock required by most digital broadcast and
MPEG-2 decoding applications.

FIGURE 1. 5-Level ∆Σ Modulator Block Diagram.

®

8

PCM1740

The 27MHz clock is available at the MCKO output (pin 5).
The VCXO output frequency can be precisely tuned using a
control voltage at the XTUN input (pin 3). The tuning range
is 27MHz ±150ppm typical for a 0V to +3V control voltage
range. Figure 3 shows the VCXO equivalent circuit, while
Figure 4 shows the typical tuning curve.

At power up, the VCXO requires 5ms start up time. The
VCXO also exhibits a 10µs settling time in response to
changes in the XTUN control voltage. VCXO operation and
the MCKO output are not effected by the power on or
external reset functions, continuing to operate during the
initialization sequence.

Crystal Selection

The VCXO connects to an external 27MHz crystal via XT1
(pin 1) and XT2 (pin 24). The crystal should be AT-cut,
fundamental mode with ±30ppm accuracy and less than 50Ω
motional resistance. Crystal shunt capacitance should be 3pF
maximum, while load capacitance should be less than 7pF.
Miniature lead type or surface-mount devices are recom­mended. External load capacitors are not needed, since they
are provided on-chip. The crystal should be placed as close as
possible to the XT1 and XT2 pins to reduce effects of parasitic
capacitance and land resistance.

PROGRAMMABLE PHASE LOCKED LOOP (PLL)

The PCM1740 includes an on-chip PLL for generating a 256f

S

or 384fS audio system clock from the 27MHz VCXO output.
A block diagram of the PLL section is shown in Figure 5. The
PLL output clock is used by the digital filter and delta-sigma
modulator circuitry, and is made available at the SCKO output
(pin 21) for use with additional audio converters and signal
processors.

PCM1740

The PLL can generate one of nine pre-programmed system
clock rates for either 256fS or 384fS output. The PLL output
and sampling frequencies are programmed using Control
Register 3. Table I shows the available sampling frequencies
and the corresponding PLL output clock rates. The reset
default condition for the PLL is fS = 44.1kHz with SCKO =
384fS, or 16.9344MHz.

At power up, the PLL requires 30ms start up time for
stabilization. The PLL also exhibits a settling time of 20ms
in response to changes in sampling frequency selection.
The PLL output continues to operate during power on or
external reset sequences, with the sampling frequency set to
fS = 44.1kHz and SCKO = 384fS.

RESET OPERATION

POWER ON RESET

The PCM1740 includes power-on reset circuitry for start up
initialization. The initialization sequence starts when V

DD

exceeds 2.2V (typical). The initialization sequence requires
1024 PLL output (or SCKO) clock cycles for completion.
During initialization, both V

OUT

L and V

OUT

R are forced to
VCC/ 2. Figure 6 shows the power on reset timing, while
Table II shows the reset default settings for user-program­mable functions. The user should not attempt to write
control registers via the I2C-Bus interface during the initial­ization sequence.

EXTERNAL RESET

The PCM1740 includes an external reset input, RST (pin

10). This input may be used to force an initialization se­quence. As shown in Figure 7, the RST pin must be held low
for a minimum of 20ns. The initialization sequence will then
start on the rising edge of RST. Initialization requires 1024
PLL output (or SCKO) clock cycles for completion. During
initialization, both V

R are forced to VCC/2.

The LRCK input is operated at the sampling frequency, fS.
The BCK input is operated at 32, 48, or 64 times the
sampling frequency. Both LRCK and BCK must be syn­chronous with the SCKO output for proper operation.

Data Formats

The PCM1740 supports two audio interface formats: Stan­dard and I2S. These formats are shown in Figure 9. The
audio data word length for the Left and Right channels may
be 16-, 20-, or 24-bits. The audio data word length and
format are programmed using Control Registers 2 and 3. The
reset default condition is Standard format with 16-bit audio
data.

Timing Requirements

Figure 10 shows the audio interface timing requirements.

ZERO FLAG OUTPUT

The PCM1740 includes a zero flag output, ZERO (pin 16).
This is an open-drain output, and a 10kΩ pull-up resistor
connected to VDD is recommended when using the ZERO
flag as a logic output.

The PCM1740 includes an infinite zero detection function
that monitors the audio data at the DATA input (pin 18). If
the audio data for both the left and right channels is all zeros
for 65,536 continuous BCK clock cycles, the zero flag will
be activated, turning on a MOSFET switch and connecting
the ZERO pin to ground. This provides an active low output
that may be used to control an external mute circuit, or as a
logic indicator for an audio DSP/decoder or microprocessor.

AUDIO SERIAL INTERFACE

The PCM1740 includes a three-wire serial audio interface.
This includes LRCK (pin 19), BCK (pin 17), and DATA
(pin 18). The LRCK input is the audio left/right clock, which
is used as a latch signal for the interface. The BCK input is
used to clock audio data into the serial port. The DATA
input carries multiplexed data for the left and right audio
channels. Audio data must be Two’s Complement, MSB
first formatted. Figure 8 shows the typical connection be­tween the PCM1740 audio serial interface and an audio DSP
or decoder.

Loss of Synchronization

Ideally, LRCK and BCK will be derived from the SCKO
output, ensuring synchronous operation. For other cases, the
PCM1740 includes circuitry to detect loss of synchroniza­tion between the LRCK and the system clock, SCKO. A loss
of synchronization condition is detected when the phase
relationship between SCKO and LRCK exceeds ±6 BCK
cycles during one sample period, or 1/fS. If a loss of
synchronization condition is detected, the DAC operation
will halt within one sample period and the analog outputs
will be forced to VCC/ 2 until re-synchronization between
LRCK and SCKO is completed. Figure 11 shows the state of
the analog outputs given a loss of synchronization event.
During the undefined states, as well as transitions between
normal and undefined states, the analog outputs may gener­ate audible noise.

USER PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS

The PCM1740 includes a number of programmable func­tions, which are configured using five control registers.
These registers are accessed using the I2C-Bus interface.

This section describes the control registers, while the
I2C-Bus interface is described in a later section. Table II lists
the available functions and their corresponding reset default
condition.

Register Map

The control register map is shown in Table III. Sub-address
bits B8 through B10 are used to specify the register that is
being written. All reserved bits, shown as “res”, must be set
to ‘0’.

Register Descriptions

The following pages provide detailed descriptions of the five
control registers and their associated functions. All reserved

PCM1740

I2C-BUS INTERFACE DESCRIPTION

The PCM1740 includes an I2C-Bus interface for writing the
internal control registers. This provides an industry standard
method for interfacing a host CPU control port to the
PCM1740. The PCM1740 operates as a Slave receiver on
the bus, and supports data transfer rates up to 100 kilobits­per-second (kbps).

The I2C-Bus interface is comprised of four signals: SDA
(pin 9), SCL (pin 8), AD0 (pin 6), and AD1 (pin 7). The SCL
input is the serial data clock, while SDA is the serial data
input. SDA carries start/stop, slave address, sub-address (or
register address), register, and acknowledgment data. The
AD0 and AD1 inputs form the lower two bits of the slave
address.

Slave Address

The PCM1740 Slave address consists of seven bits, as shown
in Figure 12. The five most significant bits are fixed, while the
two least significant bits, named A0 and A1, are defined by the
logic levels present at the AD0 and AD1 input pins. This
allows four PCM1740’s to reside on the same I2C-Bus.

Bus Operation

Figure 13 shows the typical configuration of the PCM1740 on
the I2C-Bus. The Master transmitter or transmitter/receiver is
typically a microcontroller, or an audio DSP/decoder. The
Master device controls the data transfers on the bus. The
PCM1740 operates as a Slave receiver, and accepts data from
the Master when it is properly addressed. The data transfer
may be comprised of an unlimited number of bytes, or 8-bit
data words. Figure 14 shows the message transfer protocol.

For normal bit transfer on the bus, data on SDA must
be static while SCL is High. Data on SDA may change
High / Low states when SCL is Low. The exception to this
rule is the Start and Stop conditions.

The Start condition is defined by a High-to-Low transition on
SDA while SCL is High, and is denoted with an “S” in Figure

12. The Stop condition is defined by a Low-to-High transition
on SDA while SCL is High, and is denoted with a “P” in
Figure 12. The Start and Stop conditions are always generated
by the Master. All data transfers from Master to Slave begin
with a Start condition and end with a Stop condition. The bus
is considered to be busy after the Start condition, and becomes
free some time after the Stop condition.

PCM1740

Data transfer begins with a Start condition, and is immedi­ately followed by the Slave address and Read/Write bit. The
Read / Write bit is set to “0” for the PCM1740, in order to
write data to the control register specified by the sub­address. This is followed by an acknowledgment from the
PCM1740, the sub-address (i.e., control register address),
another acknowledgment from the PCM1740, the control
register data, and another acknowledgment from the
PCM1740. What happens after this depends upon if the user
wants to continue writing additional control registers, or if
they want to terminate the data transfer. If the user wants to
continue, the acknowledgment is followed by a Start condi-

tion for the next write sequence. If the user decides to
terminate the data transfer, then a Stop condition is gener­ated by the Master.

The I2C-Bus specification defines timing requirements for
devices connected to the bus. Timing requirements for the
PCM1740 are shown in Figure 15.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Basic Connection Diagram

A basic connection diagram is shown in Figure 16. Power
supply and reference de-coupling capacitors should be located
as close as possible to the PCM1740 package. The 27MHz
crystal should also be located as close as possible to the
package, to reduce the effects of parasitic capacitance on
VCXO operation.

A single +5V supply is recommended, to avoid issues with
power-supply sequencing and SCR latch-up. It is recom­mended that this supply be separate from the system’s
digital power supply. In cases where this is not practical, an

inductor or ferrite bead should be placed in series with the
+5V supply connection to reduce or eliminate high-fre­quency noise on the supply line.

In cases where overshoot or ringing is present on the LRCK
or BCK signals, a series resistance of 25Ω to 100Ω should
be added. The resistor forms a simple RC filter with the
device input and PCB parasitic capacitance, dampening the
overshoot and ringing effects, while reducing high-frequency
noise emissions.

PCM1740

The VTUN control voltage is generated by the MPEG-2
controller, which compares the MCKO output clock from
the PCM1740 with the clock count received from the trans­mitter. VTUN is adjusted to retain clock synchronization
between the transmitted and received signals. The SCKO
output is used as the audio master clock for the audio
decoder and additional data converters.

V

COM

Output

The unbuffered DC common-mode voltage output, V

COM

(pin 15), is brought out mainly for de-coupling purposes.
V

COM

is nominally biased to VCC/2. The V

COM

output may
be used to bias external circuits, but it must be connected to
a high-impedance node or buffered using a voltage follower.
Figure 18 shows examples of the proper use of the V

COM

output for external biasing applications.

DAC Output Filtering

Delta-Sigma D/A converters utilize noise shaping tech­niques to improve in-band signal-to-noise (SNR) perfor­mance at the expense of generating increased out of band
noise above the Nyquist frequency, or fS/2. The out of band
noise must be low-pass filtered in order to provide optimal
converter performance. This is accomplished by a combina­tion of on-chip and external low-pass filtering.

The PCM1740 includes an on-chip low-pass filter as part of
the output amplifier stage. The frequency response for the
filter is shown in the Typical Performance Curves section
of this data sheet. The –3dB cutoff frequency is fixed at
100kHz.

Figure 19 shows the recommended external low-pass active
filter circuits for dual and single-supply applications. These
circuits are second-order Butterworth filters using the Mul­tiple Feedback (MFB) circuit arrangement. Both filters have
a cutoff frequency of 30kHz. Figure 19(a) is a dual-supply
filter with a gain of 1.85 (for a standard 2 V

RMS

line output
level). Figure 19(b) is a single-supply filter with a gain of 1.
Values for the filter components may be calculated using the
FilterPro program, available from the Burr-Brown web site
(www.burr-brown.com) and local sales offices. For more
information regarding MFB active filter design and the
FilterPro program, please refer to Burr-Brown Applications
Bulletin, AB-034.

Since the overall system performance is defined primarily
by the quality of the D/A converters and their associated
analog output circuitry, op amps designed specifically for
audio applications are recommended for the active filters.
Burr-Brown’s OPA2134, OPA2353, and OPA2343 dual op
amps are ideal for use with the PCM1740.
