The PCM510x devices are a family of monolithic
CMOS integrated circuits that include a stereo digitalto-analog converter and additional support circuitry in
a small TSSOP package. The PCM510x uses the
latest generation of TI’s advanced segment-DAC
architecturetoachieveexcellentdynamic
performance and improved tolerance to clock jitter.
The PCM510x provides 2.1V
outputs, allowing designers to eliminate DC blocking
capacitors on the output, as well as external muting
circuits traditionally associated with single supply line
drivers.

The integrated line driver surpasses all other chargepump based line drivers by supporting loads down to
1kΩ. By supporting loads down to 1kΩ, the PCM510x
can essentially drive up to 10 products in parallel.
(LCD TV, DVDR, AV Receivers etc).
The integrated PLL on the device removes the
requirement for a system clock (commonly known as
master clock). This allows a 3-wire I2S connection,
along with reduced system EMI.
Intelligent clock error and PowerSense under voltage
protection utilizes a two level mute system for popfree performance. Upon clock error or system power
failure, the device digitally attenuates the data (or last
known good data), then mutes the analog circuit

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Reset and System Clock Functions
Power-On Reset Function
The PCM510x includes a power-on reset function shown in Figure 11. With VDD> 2.8V, the power-on reset
function is enabled. After the initialization period, the PCM510x is set to its default reset state.
The PCM510x requires a system clock for operating the digital interpolation filters and advanced segment DAC
modulators. The system clock is applied at the SCK input (pin 12) and supports up to 50MHz. The PCM510x has
a system-clock detection circuit that automatically senses the system-clock frequency. Common audio sampling
frequencies of 8kHz, 16kHz, 32kHz - 44.1kHz - 48kHz, 88.2kHz - 96kHz, 176.4kHz -192kHz, and 384kHz with
±4% tolerance are supported. The sampling frequency detector sets the clock for the digital filter, Delta Sigma
Modulator (DSM) and the Negative Charge pump (NCP) automatically. Table 3 shows examples of system clock
frequencies for common audio sampling rates.
SCK rates that are not common to standard audio clocks, between 1MHz and 50MHz, are only supported in
software mode, available only in the PCM512x and PCM514x devices, by configuring various PLL and clockdivider registers. This allows the device to become a clock master and drive the host serial port with LRCK and
BCK, from a non-audio related clock (e.g. using 12MHz to generate 44.1kHz (LRCK) and 2.8224MHz (BCK) ).
Figure 12 shows the timing requirements for the system clock input. For optimal performance, it is important to
use a clock source with low phase jitter and noise.

System Clock PLL Mode
The system clock PLL mode allows designers to use a simple 3-wire I2S audio source when driving the DAC.
This reduces the need for a high frequency SCK, making PCB layout easier, and reduces high frequency
electromagnetic interference.
The device starts up expecting an external SCK input, but if BCK and LRCK start correctly while SCK remains at
ground level for 16 successive LRCK periods, then the internal PLL will start, automatically generating an internal
SCK from the BCK reference. In the PCM510x, the internal PLL is disabled when an external SCK is supplied;
specific BCK rates are required to generate an appropriate master clock. describes the minimum and maximum
BCK per LRCK for the integrated PLL to automatically generate an internal SCK.

Audio Data Interface
Audio Serial Interface
The audio interface port is a 3-wire serial port. It includes LRCK (pin 15), BCK (pin 13), and DIN (pin 14). BCK is
the serial audio bit clock, and it is used to clock the serial data present on DIN into the serial shift register of the
audio interface. Serial data is clocked into the PCM510x on the rising edge of BCK. LRCK is the serial audio
left/right word clock.

CONTROL MODEFORMATDATA BITSSCK RATE [x fS]BCK RATE [x fS]
Hardware ControlI2S/LJ32, 24, 20, 16
The PCM510x requires the synchronization of LRCK and system clock, but does not need a specific phase
relation between LRCK and system clock.
If the relationship between LRCK and system clock changes more than ±5 SCK, internal operation is initialized
within one sample period and analog outputs are forced to the bipolar zero level until resynchronization between
LRCK and system clock is completed.
If the relationship between LRCK and BCK are invalid more than 4 LRCK periods, internal operation is initialized
within one sample period and analog outputs are forced to the bipolar zero level until resynchronization between
LRCK and BCK is completed.
The PCM510x supports industry-standard audio data formats, including standard I2S and left-justified. Data
formats are selected using the FMT (pin 16), Low for I2S, and High for Left-justified.
All formats require binary 2s complement, MSB-first audio data. Figure 13 shows a detailed timing diagram for
the serial audio interface.
The PCM510x has a zero-data detect function. When the device detects continuous zero data, it enters a full
analog mute condition.
The PCM510x counts zero data over 1024LRCKs (21ms @ 48kHz) before setting analog mute.
Power Save Mode
When any kind of clock error (SCK, BCK, and LRCK) or clock halt is detected, the PCM510x enters Stand-by
mode automatically. The current-segment DAC and Line driver are also powered down.
When BCK and LRCK halt to a low level for more than 1 second, the PCM510x enters Power down mode
automatically. Power-down mode includes the negative charge pump and Bias/Reference circuit power-down in
addition to stand-by.
Whenever expected Audio clocks (SCK, BCK, LRCK) are applied to the PCM510x, the device starts its powerup
sequence automatically.
XSMT Pin (Soft Mute / Soft Un-Mute)
For external digital control of the PCM510x, the XSMT pin must be driven by an external digital host with a
specific/minimum rise time (tr) and fall time (tf) for soft mute and soft un-mute. The PCM510x requires tr/tftimes
of less than 20ns. In the majority of applications, this shouldn’t be a problem, however, traces with high
capacitance may have issues.
When the XSMT pin is shifted from high to low (3.3V to 0V), a soft digital attenuation ramp is started. –1dB
attenuation will be applied every 1fSfrom 0dBFS to –∞. This takes 104 sample times.
When the XSMT pin is shifted from low to high (0V to 3.3V), a soft digital “un-mute” is started. 1dB gain steps are
applied every fSfrom –∞ to 0dBFS. This takes 104 sample times.
Figure 34. XSMT Timing for Soft Mute and Soft Un-Mute
The XSMT pin can also be used to monitor a system voltage, such as the 24VDC LCD TV backlight, or 12VDC
system supply using a potential divider created with two resistors. (See Figure 35 )
•If the XSMT pin makes a transition from 1 to 0 over 6ms or more, the device will switch into external undervoltage protection mode. In this mode, two trigger levels are used.
•When XSMT pin level reaches 2V, soft mute process begins.
•When XSMT pin level reaches 1.2V, analog mute will engage, regardless of digital audio level, and analog
shut down will begin. (i.e. DAC circuitry will power down etc).
A timing diagram to show this is shown in Figure 36.
NOTE
The XSMT input pins voltage range is from –0.3V to DVDD + 0.3V.The ratio of external
resistors must be considered within this input range. Any increase in power supply (such
as power supply positive noise/ripple) can pull the XSMT pin higher than DVDD+0.3V.
For example, if the PCM510x is monitoring a 12V input, and dividing the voltage by 4, then the voltage at XSMT
during ideal power supply conditions will be 3V. If the voltage spikes any higher than 14.4V, then XSMT will see
a voltage in excess of 3.6V (DVDD+0.3), potentially damaging the device.
Providing the divider is set appropriately, any DC voltage can be monitored.

The diagram in Figure 39 shows the recommended output filter for the PCM510x. The new PCM510x next
generation current segment architecture offers excellent out of band noise, making a traditional 20kHz low pass
filter a thing of the past.
The RC settings below offer a –3dB filter point at 153kHz (approx), giving the DAC the ability to reproduce
virtually all frequencies through to it’s maximum sampling rate of 384kHz.
