ALC269
Datasheet

1. General Description

The ALC269 is a High Definition Audio Codec that integrates a 2+2-channel DAC, a 4-channel ADC, and a Class-D Speaker Amplifier.
The 2+2-channel DAC supports two independent stereo sound outputs simultaneously. The 4-channel ADC integrates two stereo and independent analog sound inputs (multiple streaming).
The ALC269 incorporates Realtek converter technology to achieve a 98dB dynamic range playback quality and a 98dB dynamic range recording quality. It meets the current WLP3.10 (Windows Logo Program) and future WLP requirements.
The ALC269 also supports stereo digital microphone channels (microphone array) with Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC), Beam Forming (BF), and Noise Suppression (NS) technology simultaneously, significantly improving voice quality for PC VoIP applications.
As well as basic audio functions, the ALC269 has two independent S/PDIF outputs; one could be used to connect a PC to high-quality consumer electronic products such as digital decoders and speakers, the other could provide a dedicated digital output to a HDMI transmitter (common in high end PCs).
There are three integrated power amplifiers. The first is a linear headphone amplifier at port C. The second headphone amplifier at port A removes the need for external DC blocking capacitors, eliminating pop noise caused by these capacitors. The third is an integrated stereo Class-D amplifier to directly drive a mini-speaker. The Class-D amplifier is designed to drive speakers with as low as 4 impedance. Its maximum output power is 2.3W per channel at 5V power supply. The advantage of an integrated Class-D amplifier in the ALC269 is high efficiency with low power consumption.
The ALC269 integrates five hardware equalizer bands composed of one low-pass filter, one high-pass filter, and three band-pass filters to compensate for mini-speaker frequency response. All the equalizer filters are programmable via the BIOS, allowing the equalizer to function without the need to customize the audio driver.
The ALC269 conforms to Intel’s Audio Codec low power state white paper and is ECR compliant.
Note: ALC269 version differences are listed in section 12 Ordering Information, page 71.

7. High Definition Audio Link Protocol

7.1.

Link Signals

The High Definition Audio (HDA) Link is the digital serial interface that connects the HDA codecs to the HDA Controller. The HDA link protocol is controller synchronous, based on a 24.0MHz BIT-CLK sent by the HDA controller. The input and output streams, including command and PCM data, are isochronous with a 48kHz frame rate. Figure 4 shows the basic concept of the HDA link protocol.

Serial Data Output signal driven by the HDA controller to all codecs. Commands and data streams are carried on SDO. The data rate is double pumped; the controller drives data onto the SDO, the codec samples data present on SDO with respect to each edge of BCLK. The HDA controller must support at least one SDO. To extend outbound bandwidth, multiple SDOs may be supported.
Serial Data Input signal driven by the codec. It is point-to-point serial data from the codec to the HDA controller. The controller must support at least one SDI, and up to a maximum of 15 SDI’s can be supported. SDI is driven by the codec at each rising edge of BCLK, and sampled by the controller at each rising edge of BCLK. SDI can be driven by the controller to initialize the codec’s ID.

7.1.2. Signaling Topology

The HDA controller supports two SDOs for the outbound stream, up to 15 SDIs for the inbound stream. RST#, BCLK, SYNC, SDO0 and SDO1 are driven by controller to codecs. Each codec drives its own point-to-point SDI signal(s) to the controller.
Figure 6 shows the possible connections between the HDA controller and codecs:
Codec 0 is a basic connection. There is one single SDO and one single SDI for normal transmission
Codec 1 has two SDOs for doubled outbound rate, a single SDI for normal inbound rate
Codec 3 supports a single SDO for normal outbound rate, and two SDIs for doubled inbound rate
Codec N has two SDOs and multiple SDIs
The multiple SDOs and multiple SDIs are used to expand the transmission rate between controller and codecs. Section 7.2 Frame Composition, page 13 describes the detailed outbound and inbound stream compositions for single and multiple SDOs/SDIs.
The connections shown in Figure 6 can be implemented concurrently in an HDA system. The ALC269 is designed to receive a single SDO stream.

Frame Composition

7.2.1. Outbound Frame – Single SDO

An outbound frame is composed of one 32-Bit command stream and multiple data streams. There are one or multiple sample blocks in a data stream. Only one sample block exists in a stream if the HDA controller delivers a 48kHz rate of samples to the codec. Multiple sample blocks in a stream means the sample rate is a multiple of 48kHz. This means there should be 2 blocks in the same stream to carry 96kHz samples (Figure 7).
For outbound frames, the stream tag is not in SDO, but in the SYNC signal. A new data stream is started at the end of the stream tag. The stream tag includes a 4-Bit preamble and 4-Bit stream ID (Figure 8).
To keep the cadence of converters bound to the same stream, samples for these converters must be placed in the same block.

7.2.2. Outbound Frame – Multiple SDO

The HDA controller allows two SDO signals to be used to stripe outbound data, completing transmission in less time to get more bandwidth. If software determines the target codec supports multiple SDO capability, it enables the stripe control bit in the controller’s Output Stream Control Register to initiate a specific stream (Stream ‘A’ in Figure 9) to be transmitted on multiple SDOs. In this case, the MSB of stream data is always carried on SDO0, the second bit on SDO1 and so forth.
SDO1 is for transmitting a striped stream. The codec does not support multiple SDOs connected to SDO0.
To guarantee all codecs can determine their corresponding stream, the command stream is not striped. It is always transmitted on SDO0, and copied on SDO1.

7.2.3. Inbound Frame – Single SDI

An Inbound Frame – Single SDI is composed of one 36-Bit response stream and multiple data streams. Except for the initialization sequence (turnaround and address frame), SDI is driven by the codec at each rising edge of BCLK. The controller also samples data at the rising edge of BCLK (Figure 10).
The SDI stream tag is not carried by SYNC, but included in the SDI. A complete SDI data stream includes one 4-Bit stream tag, one 6-Bit data length, and n-Bit sample blocks. Zeros will be padded if the total length of the contiguous sample blocks within a given stream is not of integral byte length (Figure 11).

7.2.4. Inbound Frame – Multiple SDI

A codec can deliver data to the controller on multiple SDIs to achieve higher bandwidth. If an inbound stream exceeds the data transfer limits of a single SDI, the codec can divide the data onto separate SDI signals, each of which operate independently, with different stream numbers at the same frame time. This is similar to having multiple codecs connected to the controller. The controller samples the divided stream into separate memory with multiple DMA descriptors, then software re-combines the divided data into a meaningful stream.

7.2.5. Variable Sample Rates

The HDA link is designed for sample rates of 48kHz. Variable rates of sample are delivered in multiple or sub-multiple rates of 48kHz. Two sample blocks per frame result in a 96kHz delivery rate, one sample block over two frames results in a 24kHz delivery rate. The HDA specification states that the sample rate of the outbound stream be synchronized by the controller, not by the codec. Each stream has its own sample rate, independent of any other stream.
The HDA controller supports 48kHz and 44.1kHz base rates. Table 7, page 17, shows the recommended sample rates based on multiples or sub-multiples of one of the two base rates.
Rates in sub-multiples (1/n) of 48kHz are interleaving n frames containing no sample blocks. Rates in multiples (n) of 48kHz contain n sample blocks in a frame. Table 8, page 17, shows the delivery cadence of variable rates based on 48kHz.
The HDA link is defined to operate at a fixed 48kHz frame rate. To deliver samples in (sub) multiple rates of 44.1kHz, an appropriate ratio between 44.1kHz and 48kHz must be maintained to avoid frequency drift. The appropriate ratio between 44.1kHz and 48kHz is 147/160. Meaning 147 sample blocks are transmitted every 160 frames.
