NSC LM4546B

LM4546B
AC ’97 Rev 2 Multi-Channel Audio Codec with Sample
Rate Conversion and National 3D Sound
General Description
Key Specifications
The LM4546B is an audio codec for PC systems which is
fully PC99 compliant and performs the analog intensive
functions of the AC ’97 Rev 2.1 architecture. Using 18-bit
Sigma-Delta ADCs and DACs, the LM4546B provides 90 dB
of Dynamic Range.
The LM4546B was designed specifically to provide a high
quality audio path and provide all analog functionality in a PC
audio system. It features full duplex stereo ADCs and DACs
and analog mixers with access to 2 stereo and 2 mono
inputs. Each mixer input has separate gain, attenuation and
mute control and the mixers drive 1 mono and 1 stereo
output, each with attenuation and mute control. The
LM4546B supports National’s 3D Sound stereo enhancement and a comprehensive sample rate conversion capability. The sample rate for the ADCs and DACs can be programmed separately with a resolution of 1 Hz to convert any
rate in the range 4 kHz – 48 kHz. Sample timing from the
ADCs and sample request timing for the DACs are completely deterministic to ease task scheduling and application
software development. These features together with an extended temperature range also make the LM4546B suitable
for non-PC codec applications.
The LM4546B features the ability to connect several codecs
together using the Extended AC Link configuration of one
dedicated serial data signal to the Controller per codec.
LM4546B systems support up to 8 simultaneous channels of
streaming data on Input Frames (Codec to Controller) while
Output Frames (Controller to Codec) carry 2 streams to
multiple codecs. The LM4546B may also be used in systems
with the National LM4550 to support up to 6 simultaneous
channels of streaming data on Output Frames.
The AC ’97 architecture separates the analog and digital
functions of the PC audio system allowing both for system
design flexibility and increased performance.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. Electrical Characteristics state DC and AC electrical specifications under particular test conditions which
guarantee specific performance limits. This assumes that the device is within the Operating Ratings. Specifications are not guaranteed for parameters where no limit
is given, however, the typical value is a good indication of device performance.
Note 2: Human body model, 100 pF discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor.
Note 3: Machine Model, 220 pF – 240 pF discharged through all pins.
Note 4: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJMAX, θJA, and the ambient temperature TA. The maximum
allowable power dissipation is PDMAX = (TJMAX– TA)/θJA or the number given in Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. For the LM4546B, TJMAX = 150˚C.
The typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 74˚C/W for package number VBH48A.
Note 5: All voltages are measured with respect to the ground pin, unless otherwise specified.
Note 6: Typicals are measured at 25˚C and represent the parametric norm.
Note 7: Limits are guaranteed to National’s AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).
Note 8: Loopthrough mode describes a path from an analog input through the analog mixers to an analog output.
Note 9: These specifications are guaranteed by design and characterization; they are not production tested.
Note 10: Out of band energy is measured from 28.8 kHz to 100 kHz relative to a 1 Vrms DAC output.

Typical Application
20123303
FIGURE 1. LM4546B Typical Application Circuit, Single Codec, 1 Vrms inputs
APPLICATION HINTS
• The LM4546B must be initialized by using RESET# to perform a Power-On-Reset as shown in the Power On Reset Timing
Diagram
• Don’t leave unused analog inputs floating. Tie all unused inputs together and connect to Analog Ground through a capacitor
(e.g. 0.1 µF)
• Do not leave CD_GND floating when using the CD stereo input. CD_GND is the AC signal reference for the CD channels and
should be connected to the CD source ground (Analog Ground may also be acceptable) through a 1 µF capacitor
• If using a non-standard AC Link controller take care to keep the SYNC and SDATA_IN signals low during Cold Reset to avoid
accidentally activating the ATE or Vendor test modes
• The PC_Beep input should be explicitly muted if not used since it defaults to 0 dB gain on reset, unlike the mute default of the
other analog inputs

AC Ground Reference
This input is the reference for the signals on both CD_L and CD_R. CD_GND is NOT a DC
ground and should be AC-coupled to the stereo source ground common to both CD_L and
CD_R. The three inputs CD_GND, CD_L and CD_R act together as a quasi-differential stereo
input with CD_GND providing AC common-mode feedback to reject ground noise. This can
improve the input SNR for a stereo source with a good common ground but precision
resistors may be needed in any external attenuators to achieve the necessary balance
between the two channels.
I
Right Stereo Channel Input
This line level input (1 Vrms nominal) is selectable at the right channel of the stereo Input
Mux for conversion by the right channel ADC. It can also be mixed into the right channel of
the Stereo Mix 3D signal at MIX1 under the control of the CD Volume register, 12h. The
CD_R level can be muted (along with CD_L) or adjusted from +12 dB to -34.5 dB in 1.5 dB
steps. Stereo Mix 3D is combined into the Stereo Mix signal at MIX2 for access to the stereo
outputs Line Out and Line Level Out.
I
Mono microphone input
Either MIC1 or MIC2 can be muxed to a programmable boost amplifier with selection by the
MS bit (bit D8) in the General Purpose register, 20h. The boost amplifier gain (0 dB or 20 dB)

gain settings are 1 Vrms and 0.1 Vrms respectively. The amplifier output is selectable (Record
Select register, 1Ah) by either the right or left channels of the Record Select Mux for
conversion on either or both channels of the stereo ADC. The amplifier output can also be
accessed at the stereo mixer MIX1 (muting and mixing adjustments via Mic Volume register,
0Eh) where it is mixed equally into both left and right channels of Stereo Mix 3D for access to
the stereo outputs Line Out and Line Level Out. Access to the Mono analog output is
selected by a mux controlled by the MIX bit (D9) in General Purpose register, 20h.
I
Mono microphone input
Either MIC1 or MIC2 can be muxed to a programmable boost amplifier with selection by the

24.576 MHz crystal or oscillator input
To complete the oscillator circuit use a fundamental mode crystal operating in parallel
resonance and connect a 1MΩ resistor across pins 2 and 3. Choose the load capacitors
(Figure 2, C1, C2) to suit the load capacitance required by the crystal (e.g. C1 = C2 = 33 pF
for a 20 pF crystal Assumes that each ’Input + trace’ capacitance = 7 pF).
This pin may also be used as the input for an external oscillator (24.576 MHz nominal) at
standard logic levels (VIH, VIL).
This pin is only used when the codec is in Primary mode. It may be left open (NC) for any
Secondary mode.
O
24.576 MHz crystal output
Used with XTAL_IN to configure a crystal oscillator.
When the codec is used with an external oscillator this pin should be left open (NC).
When the codec is configured in a Secondary mode this pin is not used and may be left open
(NC).
I
Input to codec
This is the input for AC Link Output Frames from an AC ’97 Digital Audio Controller to the
LM4546B codec. These frames can contain both control data and DAC PCM audio data. This
input is sampled by the LM4546B on the falling edge of BIT_CLK.
I/O
AC Link clock
An OUTPUT when in Primary Codec mode. This pin provides a 12.288 MHz clock for the AC
Link. The clock is derived (internally divided by two) from the 24.576 MHz signal at the crystal
input (XTL_IN).
This pin is an INPUT when the codec is configured in any of the Secondary Codec modes
and would normally use the AC Link clock generated by a Primary Codec.
O
Output from codec
This is the output for AC Link Input Frames from the LM4546B codec to an AC ’97 Digital
Audio Controller. These frames can contain both codec status data and PCM audio data from
the ADCs. The LM4546B clocks data from this output on the rising edge of BIT_CLK.

AC Link frame marker and Warm Reset
This input defines the boundaries of AC Link frames. Each frame lasts 256 periods of
BIT_CLK. In normal operation SYNC is a 48 kHz positive pulse with a duty cycle of 6.25%
(16/256). SYNC is sampled on the falling edge of BIT_CLK and the codec takes the first
positive sample of SYNC as defining the start of a new AC Link frame. If a subsequent SYNC
pulse occurs within 255 BIT_CLK periods of the frame start it will be ignored.
SYNC is also used as an active high input to perform an (asynchronous) Warm Reset. Warm
Reset is used to clear a power down state on the codec AC Link interface.
I
Cold Reset
This active low signal causes a hardware reset which returns the control registers and all
internal circuits to their default conditions. RESET# MUST be used to initialize the LM4546B
after Power On when the supplies have stabilized. Cold Reset also clears the codec from
both ATE and Vendor test modes. In addition, while active, it switches the PC_BEEP mono
input directly to both channels of the LINE_OUT stereo output.
I
Codec Identity
ID1 and ID0 determine the Codec Identity for multiple codec use. The Codec Identity
configures the codec in either Primary or one of three Secondary Codec modes. These
Identity pins are of inverted polarity relative to the Codec Identity bits ID1, ID0 (bits D15, D14)
in the read-only Extended Audio ID register, 28h. If the ID0# pin (pin 45) is connected to
ground then the ID0 bit (D14, reg 28h) will be set to “1”. Similarly, connection to DVDD will set
the ID0 bit to “0”. If left open (NC), ID0# is pulled high by an internal pull-up resistor.
I
Codec Identity
ID1# and ID0# determine the codec address for multiple codec use. The Codec Identity
configures the codec in either Primary or one of three Secondary Codec modes. These
Identity pins are of inverted polarity relative to the Codec Identity bits ID1, ID0 (bits D15, D14)
in the read-only Extended Audio ID register, 28h. If the ID1# pin (pin 46) is connected to
ground then the ID1 bit (D15, reg 28h) will be set to “1”. Similarly, connection to DVDD will set
the ID1 bit to “0”. If left open (NC), ID1# is pulled high by an internal pull-up resistor.

These pins are used to complete the National 3D Sound stereo enhancement circuit. Connect
a 0.022 µF capacitor between pins 3DP and 3DN. National 3D Sound can be turned on and
off via the 3D bit (D13) in the General Purpose register, 20h. National 3D Sound uses a
fixed-depth type stereo enhancement circuit hence the 3D Control register, 22h is read-only
and is not programmable. If National 3D Sound is not needed, these pins should be left open
(NC).

LM4546B
GENERAL
fixed depth implementation. The 3D Control register, 22h, is
therefore not programmable (read-only). The 3D Sound circuitry defaults to disabled after reset.
The LM4546B codec can mix, process and convert among
analog (stereo and mono) and digital (AC Link format) inputs
and outputs. There are two stereo and four mono analog
inputs and one stereo and one mono analog outputs. A
single codec supports data streaming on two input and two
output channels of the AC Link digital interface simultaneously.
ANALOG MIXING: MIX2
MIX2 combines the output of MIX1 (Stereo Mix 3D) with the
two mono analog inputs, PHONE and PC_BEEP; each are
each level-adjusted by the input control registers, Phone
Volume (0Ch) and PC_Beep Volume (0Ah), respectively. If
selected by the POP bit (D15, reg 20h), the DAC output is
also summed into MIX2.
ADC INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
Both stereo analog inputs and three of the mono analog
inputs can be selected for conversion by the 18-bit stereo
ADC. Digital output from the left and right channel ADCs is
always located in AC Link Input Frame slots 3 and 4 respectively. Input level to either ADC channel can be muted or
adjusted from the Record Gain register, 1Ch. Adjustments
are in 1.5 dB steps over a gain range of 0 dB to +22.5 dB and
both channels mute together (D15). Input selection for the
ADC is through the Record Select Mux controlled from the
Record Select register, 1Ah, together with microphone selection controlled by the MS bit (D8) in the General Purpose
register, 20h. The stereo input, CD_IN, uses a quasidifferential 3-pin interface where both stereo channel inputs
are referenced to the third pin, CD_GND. CD_GND should
be AC coupled to the source ground and provides commonmode feedback to cancel ground noise. It is not a DC
ground. The other stereo input, LINE_IN, is a 2-pin interface,
single-ended for each stereo channel with analog ground
(AVSS) as the signals’ reference. Either of the two mono
microphone inputs can be muxed to a programmable boost
amplifier before selection for either channel of the ADC. The
Microphone Mux is controlled by the Microphone Selection
(MS) bit (D8) in the General Purpose register 20h and the 20
dB programmable boost is enabled by the 20dB bit (D6) in
register 0Eh. The other selectable mono input, coupled directly to the Record Select Mux, is PHONE.
STEREO MIX
The output of MIX2 is the signal, Stereo Mix. Stereo Mix is
used to drive the Line output (LINE_OUT) and can also be
selected as the input to the ADC by the Record Select Mux.
In addition, the two channels of Stereo Mix are summed to
form a mono signal (Mono Mix) also selectable by the
Record Select Mux as an input to either channel of the ADC.
STEREO OUTPUT
The output volume from LINE_OUT can be muted or adjusted by 0 dB to 45 dB in nominal 3 dB steps under the
control of the Master Volume register, 02h. As with the input
volume registers, adjustments to the levels of the two stereo
channels can be made independently but both left and right
channels share a mute bit (D15).
MONO OUTPUT
The mono output (MONO_OUT) is driven by one of two
signals selected by the MIX bit (D9) in the General Purpose
register, 20h. The signal selected by default (MIX = 0) is the
mono summation of the two channels of Stereo Mix 3D, the
stereo output of the mixer MIX1. Setting the control bit MIX =
1, selects a microphone input, MIC1 or MIC2. The choice of
microphone is controlled by the Microphone Select (MS) bit
(D8) also in the General Purpose register, 20h.
ANALOG MIXING: MIX1
Three analog inputs are available for mixing at the stereo
mixer, MIX1 – both stereo and one mono, namely the microphone input selected by MS (D8, reg 20h). Digital input to the
codec can be directed to either MIX1 or to MIX2 after conversion by the 18-bit stereo DAC and level adjustment by the
PCM Out Volume control register (18h). Each input to MIX1
may be muted or level adjusted using the appropriate Mixer
Input Volume Register: Mic Volume (0Eh), Line_In Volume
(10h), CD Volume (12h) and PCM Out Volume (18h). The
mono microphone input is mixed equally into left and right
stereo channels but stereo mixing is orthogonal, i.e. left
channels are only mixed with other left channels and right
with right. The left and right amplitudes of any stereo input
may be adjusted independently however mute for a stereo
input acts on both left and right channels.
ANALOG LOOPTHROUGH AND DIGITAL LOOPBACK
Analog Loopthrough refers to an all-analog signal path from
an analog input through the mixers to an analog output.
Digital Loopback refers to a mixed-mode analog and digital
signal path from an analog input through the ADC, loopedback (LPBK bit – D7, 20h) through the DAC and mixers to an
analog output. This is an 18 bit digital loopback, bypassing
the SRC logic, at a 48 kHz rate, even if another sample rate
conversion is selected.
RESETS
COLD RESET is performed when RESET# (pin 11) is pulled
low for > 1 µs. It is a complete reset. All registers and
internal circuits are reset to their default state. It is the only
reset which clears the ATE and Vendor Test Modes.
WARM RESET is performed when SYNC (pin 10) is held
high for > 1 µs and the codec AC Link digital interface is in
powerdown (PR4 = 1, Powerdown Control / Status register,
26h). It is used to clear PR4 and power up the AC Link digital
interface but otherwise does not change the contents of any
registers nor reset any internal circuitry.
REGISTER RESET is performed when any value is written
to the RESET register, 00h. It resets all registers to their
default state and will modify circuit configurations accordingly but does not reset any other internal circuits.
DAC MIXING AND 3D PROCESSING
Control of routing the DAC output to MIX1 or MIX2 is by the
POP bit (D15) in the General Purpose register, 20h. If MIX1
is selected (default, POP=0) then the DAC output is available for processing by the National 3D Sound circuitry. If
MIX2 is selected, the DAC output will bypass the 3D processing. This allows analog inputs to be enhanced by the
analog 3D Sound circuitry prior to mixing with digital audio.
The digital audio may then use alternative digital 3D enhancements. National 3D Sound circuitry is enabled by the
3D bit (D13) in the General Purpose register, 20h, and is a

FIGURE 4. AC Link Output Frame
AC LINK OUTPUT FRAME:
SDATA_OUT, CONTROLLER OUTPUT TO LM4546B INPUT
The AC Link Output Frame carries control and PCM data to
the LM4546B control registers and stereo DAC. Output
Frames are carried on the SDATA_OUT signal which is an
output from the AC ’97 Digital Controller and an input to the
LM4546B codec. As shown in Figure 3, Output Frames are
constructed from thirteen time slots: one Tag Slot followed by
twelve Data Slots. Each Frame consists of 256 bits with each
of the twelve Data Slots containing 20 bits. Input and Output
Frames are aligned to the same SYNC transition. Note that
since the LM4546B is a two channel codec, it only accepts
data in 4 of the twelve Data Slots – 2 for control, one each for
PCM data to the left and right channel DACs. Data Slot 3 &
4 are used to stream data to the stereo DAC for all modes
selected by the Identity pins ID1#, ID0#.
A new Output Frame is signaled with a low-to-high transition
of SYNC. SYNC should be clocked from the controller on a
rising edge of BIT_CLK and, as shown in Figure 4 and
Figure 5, the first tag bit in the Frame (“Valid Frame”) should
be clocked from the controller by the next rising edge of
BIT_CLK and sampled by the LM4546B on the following
falling edge. The AC ’97 Controller should always clock data
www.national.com
to SDATA_OUT on a rising edge of BIT_CLK and the
LM4546B always samples SDATA_OUT on the next falling
edge. SYNC is sampled with the falling edge of BIT_CLK.
The LM4546B checks each Frame to ensure 256 bits are
received. If a new Frame is detected (a low-to-high transition
on SYNC) before 256 bits are received from the old Frame
then the new Frame is ignored i.e. the data on SDATA_OUT
is discarded until a valid new Frame is detected.
The LM4546B expects to receive data MSB first, in an MSB
justified format.
SDATA_OUT: Slot 0 – Tag Phase
The first bit of Slot 0 is designated the "Valid Frame" bit. If
this bit is 1, it indicates that the current Output Frame contains at least one slot of valid data and the LM4546B will
check further tag bits for valid data in the expected Data
Slots. With the codec in Primary mode, a controller will
indicate valid data in a slot by setting the associated tag bit
equal to 1. Since it is a two channel codec the LM4546B can
only receive data from four slots in a given frame and so only

checks the valid-data bits for 4 slots. In Primary mode these
tag bits are for: slot 1 (Command Address), slot 2 (Command

for right DAC).
The last two bits in the Tag contain the Codec ID used to
select the target codec to receive the frame in multiple codec
systems. When the frame is being sent to a codec in one of
the Secondary modes the controller does not use bits 14 and
13 to indicate valid Command Address and Data in slots 1
and 2. Instead, this role is performed by the Codec ID bits –
operation of the Extended AC Link assumes that the controller would not access a secondary codec unless it was providing valid Command Address and/or Data. When in one of
the secondary modes the LM4546B only checks the tag bits
for the Codec ID and for valid data in the two audio data slots
3 & 4.

SDATA_OUT: Slot 1 – Read/Write, Control Address
Slot 1 is used by a controller to indicate both the address of

operation is a register read or register write. The MSB of slot
1 (bit 19) is set to 1 to indicate that the current access
operation is ’read’. Bits 18 through 12 are used to specify the
7-bit register address of the read or write operation. The
least significant twelve bits are reserved and should be
stuffed with zeros by the AC ’97 controller.
When sending an Output Frame to a Secondary mode codec, a controller should set tag bits 14 and 13 to zero.

AC LINK INPUT FRAME:
SDATA_IN, CONTROLLER INPUT FROM LM4546B OUTPUT
The AC Link Input Frame contains status and PCM data from
the LM4546B control registers and stereo ADC. Input
Frames are carried on the SDATA_IN signal which is an
input to the AC ’97 Digital Audio Controller and an output
from the LM4546B codec. As shown in Figure 3, Input
Frames are constructed from thirteen time slots: one Tag
Slot followed by twelve Data Slots. The Tag Slot, Slot 0,
contains 16 bits of which 5 are used by the LM4546B. One is
used to indicate that the AC Link interface is fully operational
and the other 4 to indicate the validity of the data in the four
of the twelve following Data Slots that are used by the
LM4546B. Each Frame consists of 256 bits with each of the
twelve data slots containing 20 bits.
A new Input Frame is signaled with a low-to-high transition of
SYNC. SYNC should be clocked from the controller on a
rising edge of BIT_CLK and, as shown in Figure 6 and
Figure 7, the first tag bit in the Frame (“Codec Ready”) is
clocked from the LM4546B by the next rising edge of BIT_CLK. The LM4546B always clocks data to SDATA_IN on a
rising edge of BIT_CLK and the controller is expected to
sample SDATA_IN on the next falling edge. The LM4546B
samples SYNC on the falling edge of BIT_CLK.
Input and Output Frames are aligned to the same SYNC
transition.
The LM4546B checks each Frame to ensure 256 bits are
received. If a new Frame is detected (a low-to-high transition
on SYNC) before 256 bits are received from an old Frame
then the new Frame is ignored i.e. no valid data is sent on
SDATA_IN until a valid new Frame is detected.
The LM4546B transmits data MSB first, in a MSB justified

The first bit (bit 15, “Codec Ready”) of slot 0 in the AC Link
Input Frame indicates when the codec’s AC Link digital
interface and its status/control registers are fully operational.
The digital controller is then able to read the LSBs from the
Powerdown Control/Stat register (26h) to determine the status of the four main analog subsections. It is important to
check the status of these subsections after Initialization,
Cold Reset or the use of the powerdown modes in order to
minimize the risk of distorting analog signals passed before
the subsections are ready.

SDATA_IN: Slot 1 – Status Address / Slot Request Bits
This slot echoes (in bits 18 – 12) the 7-bit address of the
codec control/status register received from the controller as
part of a read-request in the previous frame. If no readrequest was received, the codec stuffs these bits with zeros.
Bits 11, 10 are Slot Request bits that support the Variable
Rate Audio (VRA) capabilities of the LM4546B. For all codec
Primary and Secondary modes, the left and right channels of
the DAC take PCM data from slots 3 and 4 in the Output
Frame respectively. The codec will therefore use bits 11 and
10 to request DAC data from these two slots. If bits 11 and
10 are set to 0, the controller should respond with valid PCM
data in slots 3 and 4 of the next Output Frame. If bits 11 and
10 are set to 1, the controller should not send data.
The codec has full control of the slot request bits. By default,
data is requested in every frame, corresponding to a sample
rate equal to the frame rate (SYNC frequency) – 48 kHz
when XTAL_IN = 24.576 MHz. To send samples at a rate
below the frame rate, a controller should set VRA = 1 (bit 0
in the Extended Audio Control/Status register, 2Ah) and
program the desired rate into the PCM DAC Rate register,
2Ch. Both DAC channels operate at the same sample rate.
Values for common sample rates are given in the Register
Description section (Sample Rate Control Registers, 2Ch,
32h) but any rate between 4 kHz and 48 kHz (to a resolution
of 1 Hz) is supported. Slot Requests from the LM4546B are
issued completely deterministically. For example if a sample
rate of 8000 Hz is programmed into 2Ch then the LM4546B
will always issue a slot request in every sixth frame. A
frequency of 9600 Hz will result in a request every fifth frame
while a frequency of 8800 Hz will cause slot requests to be
spaced alternately five and six frames apart. This determinism makes it easy to plan task scheduling on a system
controller and simplifies application software development.
The LM4546B will ignore data in Output Frame slots that do
not follow an Input Frame with a Slot Request. For example,
if the LM4546B is expecting data at a 8000 Hz rate yet the
AC ’97 Digital Audio Controller continues to send data at
48000 Hz, then only those one-in-six audio samples that
follow a Slot Request will be used by the DAC. The rest will
be discarded.
Bits 9 – 2 are request bits for slots not used by the LM4546B
and are stuffed with zeros. Bits 1 and 0 are reserved and are
also stuffed with zeros.

MIXER INPUT VOLUME REGISTERS (Index 0Ch - 18h)
These input registers adjust the volume levels into the stereo
mixers MIX1 and MIX2. Each channel may be adjusted over
a range of +12 dB gain to –34.5 dB attenuation in 1.5 dB
steps. For stereo ports, volumes of the left and right channels can be independently adjusted. Muting a given port is
accomplished by setting the MSB to 1. Setting the MSB to 1
for stereo ports mutes both the left and right channel. The
Mic Volume register (0Eh) controls an additional 20 dB boost
for the selected microphone input by setting the 20dB bit
(D6).
MASTER VOLUME REGISTER (02h)
This output register allows the output level from either channel of the stereo LINE_OUT to be muted or attenuated over
the range 0 dB – 46.5 dB in nominal 1.5 dB steps. There are
6 bits of volume control for each channel and both stereo
channels can be individually attenuated. The mute bit (D15)
acts simultaneously on both stereo channels of LINE_OUT.
The AC’97 specification states that “support for the MSB of
the level is optional.” All six bits may be written to the
register, but if the MSB is a 1, the MSB is ignored and the
register will be set to 0 11111. This will be the value when the
register is read, allowing the software driver to detect
whether the MSB is supported or not.

(2Ah)
This read/write register provides status and control of the

VRA
The LM4546B provides 6 bits to control the powerdown state
of internal analog and digital subsections and clocks. These
6 bits (PR0 – PR5) are located in the 8 MSBs of the Powerdown Control/Status register, 26h. The status of the four
main analog subsections is given by the 4 LSBs in the same
register, 26h.
The powerdown bits are implemented in compliance with AC
’97 Rev 2.1 to support the standard device power management states D0 – D3 as defined in the ACPI and PCI Bus
Power Management specification.
Function
*0 = VRA off (Frame-rate sampling)
1 = VRA on
PR0 controls the powerdown state of the ADC and associated sampling rate conversion circuitry. PR1 controls powerdown for the DAC and the DAC sampling rate conversion
circuitry. PR2 powers down the mixer circuits (MIX1, MIX2,
National 3D Sound, Mono Out, Line Out). PR3 powers down
VREF in addition to all the same mixer circuits as PR2. PR4
powers down the AC Link Digital Interface – see Figure 8 for
signal powerdown timing. PR5 disables internal clocks but
leaves the crystal oscillator and BIT_CLK running (needed
for minimum Primary mode powerdown dissipation in multicodec systems). PR6 and PR7 are not used.
After a subsection has undergone a powerdown cycle, the
appropriate status bit(s) in the Powerdown Control/Status
register (26h) must be polled to confirm readiness. In particular the startup time of the VREF circuitry depends on the
value of the decoupling capacitors on pin 27 (3.3 µF, 0.1 µF
in parallel is recommended) and this dependency is behind
the requirement for both PR2 and PR3 functionality in AC ’97
Rev 2.1.
When the AC Link Digital Interface is powered down the
codec output signals SDATA_IN and BIT_CLK (Primary
mode) are cleared to zero and no control data can be passed
between controller and codec(s). This powerdown state can
be cleared in two ways: Cold Reset (RESET# = 0) or Warm
Reset (SYNC = 1, no BIT_CLK). Cold Reset sets all registers back to their default values (including clearing PR4)
whereas Warm Reset only clears the PR4 bit and restarts
the AC Link Digital Interface leaving all register contents
otherwise unaffected. For Warm Reset (see Timing Diagrams), the SYNC input is used asynchronously. The
LM4546B codec allows the AC Link digital interface powerdown state to be cleared immediately so that its duration can
be essentially as short as TSH, the Warm Reset pulse width.
However for conformance with AC ’97 Rev 2.1, Warm Reset
should not be applied within 4 frame times of powerdown i.e.
the AC Link powerdown state should be allowed to last at
least 82.8 µs.
Default: 0000h
SAMPLE RATE CONTROL REGISTERS (2Ch, 32h)
These read/write registers are used to set the sample rate
for the left and right channels of the DAC (PCM DAC Rate,
2Ch) and the ADC (PCM ADC Rate, 32h). When Variable
Rate Audio is enabled via bit 0 of the Extended Audio
Control/Status register (2Ah), the sample rates can be programmed, in 1 Hz increments, to be any value from 4 kHz to
48 kHz. The value required is the hexadecimal representation of the desired sample rate, e.g. 800010 = 1F40h. Below

dB point will still be below 300 Hz. By using a smaller
capacitor, the package size may be reduced, leading to a
lower system cost.
Improving System Performance
The audio codec is capable of dynamic range performance
in excess of 90 db., but the user must pay careful attention to
several factors to achieve this. A primary consideration is
keeping analog and digital grounds separate, and connecting them together in only one place. Some designers show
the connection as a zero ohm resistor, which allows naming
the nets separately. Although it is possible to use a two layer
board, it is recommended that a minimum of four layers be
used, with the two inside layers being analog ground and
digital ground. If EMI is a system consideration, then as
many as eight layers have been successfully used. The 12
and 25 MHz. clocks can have significant harmonic content
depending on the rise and fall times. With the exception of
the digital VDD pins, (covered later) bypass capacitors
should be very close to the package. The analog VDD pins
should be supplied from a separate regulator to reduce
noise. By operating the digital portion on 3.3V instead of 5V,
an additional 0.5-0.7 db improvement can be obtained.
The bandgap reference and the anti-pop slow turn-on circuit
were improved in the LM4546B. A pullup resistor is not
required on VREF, pin 27. For an existing design, the 10 kΩ
resistor can be left on the pc board, but the temperature
coefficient will improve with no resistor on this pin. In addition, the THD will improve by 0.2–0.5 dB. The external
capacitor is charged by an internal current source, ramping
the voltage slowly. This results in slow turn-on of the audio
stages, eliminating “pops and clicks”. Thus, turn-on performance is also improved. The pullup resistor, in conjunction
with the internal impedance and the external capacitor, form
a frequency dependent divider from the analog supply. Noise
on the analog supply will be coupled into the audio path, with
approximately 30 dB.of attenuation. Although this is not a
large amount if the noise on the supply is tens of millivolts, it
will prevent SNR from exceeding 80 dB.
In Figure 1 and Figure 2, the input coupling capacitors are
shown as 1 µF. capacitors. This is only necessary for extending the response down to 20 Hz. for music applications. For
telematics or voice applications, the lower 3 dB. can be
much higher. Using a guaranteed input resistance of 10 kΩ,
(40 kΩ typical), a 0.1 µF capacitor may be used. The lower 3
www.national.com
Backwards Compatibility
The LM4546B is improved compared to the LM4546A. If it is
required to build a board that will use either part, a 10 kΩ
resistor must be added from the VREF pin (pin 27) to AVDD for
the LM4546A. It is not required for the LM4546B. Addition of
this resistor will slightly increase the temperature coefficient
of the internal bandgap reference and slightly decrease the
THD performance, but overall performance will still be better
than the LM4546A.
The LM4546A requires that pins 1 and 9 (DVDD) connect
directly to a 27 nH. inductor before going to the 3.3 Volt
digital supply and bypass capacitors. The inductor is not
required for the LM4546B and should not be used.
Multiple Codecs
EXTENDED AC LINK
Up to four codecs can be supported on the extended AC
Link. These multiple codec implementations should run off a
common BIT_CLK generated by the Primary Codec. All
codecs share the AC ’97 Digital Controller output signals,
SYNC, SDATA_OUT, and RESET#. Each codec, however,
supplies its own SDATA_IN signal back to the controller, with
the result that the controller requires one dedicated input pin
per codec (Figure 9).
By definition there can be one Primary Codec and up to
three Secondary Codecs on an extended AC Link. The
Primary Codec has a Codec Identity = (ID1, ID0) = ID = 00
while Secondary Codecs take identities equal to 01, 10 or
11. The Codec Identity is used as a chip select function. This
allows the Command and Status registers in any of the
codecs to be individually addressed although the access
mechanism for Secondary Codecs differs slightly from that
for a Primary.
24
the Command Address in slot 1 and (if a “write”) the Command Data in slot 2 are valid.
When reading from a Secondary Codec, the controller must
send the correct Codec ID bits (i.e. the target Codec Identity
in slot 0, bits 1 and 0) along with the read-request bit (slot 1,
bit 19) and target register address (slot 1, bits 18 – 12). To
write to a Secondary Codec, a controller must send the
correct Codec ID bits when slot 1 contains a valid target
register address and “write” indicator bit and slot 2 contains
valid target register data. A write operation is only valid if the
register address and data are both valid and sent within the
same frame. When accessing the Primary Codec, the Codec
ID bits are cleared and the tag bits 14 and 13 resume their
role indicating the validity of Command Address and Data in
slots 1 and 2.
The use of the tag bits in Input Frames (carried by the
SDATA_IN signal) is the same for Primary and Secondary
Codecs.
(Continued)
The Identity control pins, ID1, ID0 (pins 46 and 45) are
internally pulled up to DVDD. The Codec may therefore be
configured as ’Primary’ either by leaving ID1, ID0 open (NC)
or by strapping them externally to DVDD (Digital supply).
The difference between Primary and Secondary codec
modes is in their timing source and in the Tag Bit handling in
Output Frames for Command/Status register access. For a
timing source, a Primary codec divides down by 2 the frequency of the signal on XTAL_IN and also generates this as
the BIT_CLK output for the use of the controller and any
Secondary codecs. Secondary codecs use BIT_CLK as an
input and as their timing source and do not use XTAL_IN or
XTAL_OUT. The use of Tag Bits is described below.
SECONDARY CODEC REGISTER ACCESS
For Secondary Codec access, the controller must set the tag
bits for Command Address and Data in the Output Frame as
invalid (i.e. equal to 0). The Command Address and Data tag
bits are in slot 0, bits 14 and 13 and Output Frames are
those in the SDATA_OUT signal from controller to codec.
The controller must also place the non-zero value (01, 10, or
11) corresponding to the Identity (ID1, ID0) of the target
Secondary Codec into the Codec ID field (slot 0, bits 1 and 0)
in that same Output Frame. The value set in the Codec ID
field determines which of the three possible Secondary Codecs is accessed. Unlike a Primary Codec, a Secondary
Codec will disregard the Command Address and Data tag
bits when there is a match between the 2-bit Codec ID value
(slot 0, bits 1 and 0) and the Codec Identity (ID1, ID0).
Instead it uses the Codec-ID/Identity match to indicate that
The Codec Identity is determined by the input pins ID1#,
ID0# (pins 46 and 45) and can be read as the value of the
ID1, ID0 bits (D15, D14) in the Extended Audio ID register,
28h of the target codec.
Slots in the AC Link Output Frame are always mapped to
carry data to the left DAC channel in slot 3 and data to the
right DAC channel in slot 4. Similarly, slots in AC Link Input
Frames are always mapped such that PCM data from the left
ADC channel is carried by slot 3 and PCM data from the right
ADC channel by slot 4. Output Frames are those carried by
the SDATA_OUT signal from the controller to the codec
while Input Frames are those carried by the SDATA_IN
signal from the codec to the controller.
