AUDIO DATA INTERFACE
Audio Serial Interface
The audio interface port is a 3-wire serial port. It includes LRCK (pin 4), BCK (pin 6), and DATA (pin 5). BCK is the
serial audio bit clock, and it is used to clock the serial data present on DATA into the serial shift register of the audio
interface. Serial data is clocked into the PCM1796 on the rising edge of BCK. LRCK is the serial audio left/right word
clock.
The PCM1796 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 6 BCK, internal operation is initialized within
1/f and analog outputs are forced to the bipolar zero level until resynchronization between LRCK and system clock
S
is completed.
PCM Audio Data Formats and Timing
2
The PCM1796 supports industry-standard audio data formats, including standard right-justified, I S, and
left-justified. The data formats are shown in Figure 27. Data formats are selected using the format bits, FMT[2:0],
2
in control register 18. The default data format is 24-bit I S. All formats require binary 2s complement, MSB-first audio
data. Figure 26 shows a detailed timing diagram for the serial audio interface.
