The LM4550B 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 4 stereo and 4 mono inputs. Each
mixer input has separate gain, attenuation and mute
control and the mixers drive 1 mono and 2 stereo
outputs, each with attenuation and mute control. The
LM4550B provides a stereo headphone amplifier as
one of its stereo outputs and also supports Texas
Instruments' 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 LM4550B suitable
for non-PC codec applications.
The LM4550B features the ability to connect several
codecs together in a system to provide up to 6
simultaneous channels of streaming data on Output
Frames (Controller to Codec) for surround sound
applications. Such systems can also support up to 8
simultaneous channels of streaming data on Input
Frames (Codec to Controller). Multiple codec systems
can be built either using the standard AC Link
configuration (i.e. of one serial data signal to the
Controller per codec) or using a unique Texas
Instruments feature for chaining codecs together.
This chain feature shares only a single data signal to
the controller among multiple codecs.
The AC '97 architecture separates the analog and
digital functions of the PC audio system allowing both
for system design flexibility and increased
performance.

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 ensure specific performance limits. Electrical Characteristics state DC and AC electrical
specifications under particular test conditions which ensure specific performance limits. This assumes that the device is within the
Operating Ratings. Specifications are not ensured for parameters where no limit is given, however, the typical value is a good indication
of device performance.
If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/Distributors for availability and
specifications.

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 LM4550B, TJMAX = 150°C. The typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 74°C/W for package number

APPLICATION HINTS
• The LM4550B 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_OUT 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

Mono Input
This line level (1 Vrms nominal) mono input is mixed equally into both channels of the Stereo Mix
signal at MIX2 under the control of the PC_Beep Volume control register, 0Ah. The PC_BEEP level
can be muted or adjusted from 0 dB to -45 dB in 3 dB steps. The Stereo Mix signal feeds both the
Line Out and Headphone Out analog outputs and is also selectable at the Record Select Mux. During
Initialization or Cold Reset, (reset pin held active low), PC_BEEP is switched directly to both channels
of the Line Out stereo output, bypassing all volume controls. This allows signals such as PC power-on
self-test tones to be heard through the PC's audio system before the codec registers are configured.

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 must 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.

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) is set by the 20dB

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 Headphone Out. Access to the Mono
analog output is selected by a mux controlled by the MIX bit (D9) in General Purpose register, 20h.

24.576 MHz crystal or external 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 9, 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 is 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.

Output from codec
This is the output for AC Link Input Frames from the LM4550B codec to an AC '97 Digital Audio
Controller. These frames can contain both codec status data and PCM audio data from the ADCs. The
LM4550B clocks data from this output on the rising edge of BIT_CLK.
I
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 LM4550B 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. The Codec Identity bits are also used in the Chain-In Control register, 74h.
See the register description and the CIN pin description for details.

Codec Identity
ID1# and ID0# determine the codec address for multiple codec use. The Codec Identity configures the

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. The Codec Identity bits are also used in the Chain-In Control register, 74h.
See the register description and the CIN pin description for details.
O
External Amplifier Power Down control signal
This output is set by the EAPD bit (bit D15) in the Powerdown Control/Status register, 26h. As with the
other logic outputs, the output voltage is set by DVDD. This pin is intended to be connected to the
shutdown pin on an external power amplifier. For normal operation the default value of EAPD = 0 will
enable the external amplifier allowing an input on PC_BEEP to be heard during Cold Reset.
I
Chain In
The codec can be instructed to disconnect its own SDATA_IN signal and instead pass the signal on
CIN through to the SDATA_IN output pin. This is achieved by changing the value of the two LSBs of
the Chain-In Control register (74h) so that they differ from the Codec Identity bits ID1, ID0. Those two
LSBs default to the value of the Codec Identity bits following Cold Reset thereby disabling the Chain In
feature. Chain In can also be disabled by reading the Codec Identity from the Extended Audio ID
register (28h) and writing the value back into register 74h LSBs. The Codec Identity bits are
determined by the input pins ID1#, ID0#.
CIN can be left open (NC) provided that the chain feature is disabled. When the chain feature is used,
CIN should always be driven. Either connect the SDATA_IN pin from another codec or else ground
CIN to prevent the possibility of floating the SDATA_IN signal at the controller.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
GENERAL
The LM4550B codec can mix, process and convert among analog (stereo and mono) and digital (AC Link format)
inputs and outputs. There are four stereo and four mono analog inputs and two 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.
ADC INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
All four of the 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. One of the stereo inputs, CD_IN, uses a quasi-differential 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
common-mode feedback to cancel ground noise. It is not a DC ground. The other three stereo inputs, LINE_IN,
AUX and VIDEO are 2-pin interfaces, single-ended for each stereo channel, with analog ground (AVSS) as the
signal 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 mono PHONE input may also be selected for either ADC channel.
ANALOG MIXING: MIX1
Five analog inputs are available for mixing at the stereo mixer, MIX1 – all four 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), Video Volume (14h), Aux Volume (16h) 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.
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 TI 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. TI 3D Sound circuitry is enabled by the 3D bit (D13) in the General Purpose
register, 20h, and is a fixed depth implementation. The 3D Control register, 22h, is therefore not programmable
(read-only). The 3D Sound circuitry defaults to disabled after reset.
ANALOG MIXING: MIX2
MIX2 combines the output of MIX1 (Stereo Mix 3D) with the two mono analog inputs, PHONE and PC_BEEP;
each are 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.
STEREO MIX
The output of MIX2 is the signal, Stereo Mix. Stereo Mix is used to drive both the Headphone output (HP_OUT)
and the Line output (LINE_OUT) and can also be selected as the input to the ADC at the Record Select Mux. In
addition, the two channels of Stereo Mix are summed to form a mono signal (Mono Mix) also selectable at the
Record Select Mux as an input to either channel of the ADC.

SNAS276F – MAY 2005 – REVISED APRIL 2013
STEREO OUTPUTS
The output volume from LINE_OUT and HP_OUT can be muted or adjusted by 0 dB to 45 dB in nominal 3 dB
steps under the control of the output volume registers Master Volume (02h) and Headphone Volume (04h)
respectively. 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 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, looped-back (LPBK bit – D7, 20h) through the DAC and mixers to an analog output. This is an 18 bit digital
loopback, bypassing the SRC logic, even if a rate other than 48 kHz 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.

Figure 20. AC Link Output Frame
AC LINK OUTPUT FRAME:
SDATA_OUT, CONTROLLER OUTPUT TO LM4550B INPUT
The AC Link Output Frame carries control and PCM data to the LM4550B 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 LM4550B codec. As shown in Figure 19, 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 the LM4550B
only accepts data in eight of the twelve Data Slots and, since it is a two channel codec only in 4 simultaneously –
2 for control, one each for PCM data to the left and right channel DACs. Data-Slot to DAC mappings are tied to
the codec mode selected by the Identity pins ID1#, ID0# and are given in Table 14.
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 20 and Figure 21, 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
LM4550B on the following falling edge. The AC '97 Controller should always clock data to SDATA_OUT on a
rising edge of BIT_CLK and the LM4550B always samples SDATA_OUT on the next falling edge. SYNC is
sampled with the falling edge of BIT_CLK.
The LM4550B 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 LM4550B 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 LM4550B 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 LM4550B 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 Data), slot 3 (PCM data for left DAC) and slot 4 (PCM data 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 LM4550B only checks the tag bits for the Codec ID and for valid data in the two audio data slots: slots
3 & 4 for Secondary mode 1, slots 7 & 8 for mode 2 and slots 6 & 9 for mode 3.
When sending an Output Frame to a Secondary mode codec, a controller should set tag bits 14 and 13 to zero.

SDATA_OUT: Slot 1 – Read/Write, Control Address
Slot 1 is used by a controller to indicate both the address of a target register in the LM4550B and whether the
access 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.

AC LINK INPUT FRAME:
SDATA_IN, CONTROLLER INPUT FROM LM4550B OUTPUT
The AC Link Input Frame contains status and PCM data from the LM4550B 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 LM4550B codec. As shown in Figure 19, 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
LM4550B. 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 LM4550B. 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 22 and Figure 23, the first tag bit in the Frame (“Codec
Ready”) is clocked from the LM4550B by the next rising edge of BIT_CLK. The LM4550B 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 LM4550B samples SYNC on the falling edge of BIT_CLK.
Input and Output Frames are aligned to the same SYNC transition.
The LM4550B 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 LM4550B transmits data MSB first, in an MSB justified format. All reserved bits and slots are stuffed with
"0"s by the LM4550B.

SDATA_IN: Slot 0 – Codec/Slot Status Bits
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.
The 4 bits 14, 13, 12 and 11 indicate that the data in slots 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively, are valid.

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 read-request was received, the codec stuffs these
bits with zeros.
The 6 bits 11, 10, 8 – 5 are Slot Request bits that support the Variable Rate Audio (VRA) capabilities of the
LM4550B. Only two are used simultaneously. If the codec is in Primary mode or Secondary mode 1, then the left
and right channels of the DAC take PCM data from slots 3 and 4 in the Output Frame respectively (see
Table 14). The codec uses 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. Similarly, if the codec is in Secondary mode 2, bits 7 and 6 are
used to request data from slots 7 and 8 in the Output Frame. If in Secondary mode 3, bits 8 and 5 request data
from slots 6 and 9.
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
Descriptions 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 LM4550B are issued completely deterministically. For
example if a sample rate of 8000 Hz is programmed into 2Ch then the LM4550B 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 LM4550B will ignore data in Output Frame slots that do not follow an Input Frame with a Slot Request. For
example, if the LM4550B 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, 4, 3, and 2 are request bits for slots not used by the LM4550B and are stuffed with zeros. Bits 1 and 0 are
reserved and are also stuffed with zeros.

Register Descriptions
Default settings are indicated by *.
RESET REGISTER (00h)
Writing any value to this register causes a Register Reset which changes all registers back to their default
values. If a read is performed on this register, the LM4550B will return a value of 0D50h. This value can be
interpreted in accordance with the AC '97 specification to indicate that TI 3D Sound is implemented, 18-bit data is
supported for both the ADCs and DACs, and that headphone output is supported.
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.

HEADPHONE VOLUME REGISTER (04h)
This output register allows the level from both channels of HP_OUT to be muted or individually 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 plus one
mute bit. The mute bit (D15) acts on both channels. Operation of this register and HP_OUT matches that of the
Master Volume register and the LINE_OUT output. 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
MONO VOLUME REGISTER (06h)
This output register allows the level from MONO_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 and one mute bit (D15). 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.

SNAS276F – MAY 2005 – REVISED APRIL 2013
The 4 LSBs of this register indicate the status of the 4 audio subsections of the codec: Reference voltage,
Analog mixers and amplifiers, DAC section, ADC section. When the "Codec Ready" indicator bit in the AC Link
Input Frame (SDATA_IN: slot 0, bit 15) is a "1", it indicates that the AC Link and AC '97 registers are in a fully
operational state and that control and status information can be transferred. It does NOT indicate that the codec
is ready to send or receive audio PCM data or to pass signals through the analog I/O and mixers. To determine
that readiness, the Controller must check that the 4 LSBs of this register are set to “1” indicating that the
appropriate audio subsections are ready.
The powerdown bits PR0 – PR6 control internal subsections of the codec. They 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.
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, TI 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 24 for signal powerdown timing.
PR5 disables internal clocks. PR6 powers down the Headphone amplifier. EAPD controls the External Amplifier
PowerDown bit.

CHAIN-IN CONTROL REGISTER (74h)
This read/write register is only needed when using the Chain In feature. This feature goes beyond the AC '97
specification and is not required for standard AC Link operation. The two LSBs of this register default to the
Codec Identity (ID1, ID0) after reset. This default state corresponds to standard AC Link operation where the
output of codec pin 8 (SDATA_IN) carries the AC Link Input Frames back to the controller from the codec.
If the two LSBs differ from the Codec Identity (register 28h describes the Codec Identity), then the signal present
at CIN (pin 48) is switched through to the SDATA_IN (pin 8) output. In this fashion, Secondary codecs can be
chained together by connecting one codec's SDATA_IN pin to the next codec's CIN pin. This has the end result
of only requiring a single SDATA_IN pin at the controller rather than the standard one SDATA_IN pin per codec.
Note, however, that the chained codecs time-share the bandwidth of the SDATA_IN signal under allocation from
the controller.
The first codec in the chain (nearest the controller) will have access to the full bandwidth of SDATA_IN following
a system reset (Cold Reset for each codec). To access any other codec in the chain, the controller must write a
suitable value (i.e. the Identity of the target codec) to the Chain-In Control register (74h) of each intervening
codec in the chain.
The last codec in the serial chain (furthest from the controller) should have its CIN pin connected to digital
ground. When writing software drivers, care should be taken to avoid any problems that could occur when this
last codec in the chain is set to pass a CIN signal when there is none to pass. Different controllers may handle
an input of all 0s differently and leaving the CIN pin floating should definitely be avoided.

VENDOR ID REGISTERS (7Ch, 7Eh)
These two read-only (4E53h, 4350h) registers contain Texas Instruments' Vendor ID and Texas Instruments'
LM45xx codec version designation. The first 24 bits (4Eh, 53h, 43h) represent the three ASCII characters that
are the Texas Instruments Vendor ID for Microsoft's Plug and Play. The last 8 bits are the two binary coded
decimal characters, 5, 0 and identify the codec to be an LM4550 family part.
RESERVED REGISTERS
Do not write to reserved registers. In particular, do not write to registers 24h, 5Ah and 7Ah. All registers not listed
in the LM4550B Register Map are reserved. Reserved registers will return 0000h if read.
Low Power Modes
The LM4550B provides 7 bits to control the powerdown state of internal analog and digital subsections and
clocks. It also provides one bit intended to control an external analog power amplifier. These 8 bits (PR0 – PR6,
EAPD) are 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.
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, TI 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 24 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 multi-codec systems). PR6 powers down the Headphone amplifier. EAPD
controls the External Amplifier PowerDown pin (pin 47).
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).
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 LM4550B codec allows the AC Link
digital interface powerdown state to be cleared immediately so that its duration can essentially be 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.

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. 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 3.3 V. instead of 5 V. 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 LM4550B. A pullup resistor is
not required on VREF, pin 27. For an existing design, the 10 kohm 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 8 and Figure 9, 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. point can be much higher. Using a specified input resistance of 10 kΩ, (40 kΩ typical), a 0.1 µF capacitor
may be used. The lower 3 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.
Backwards Compatibility
The LM4550B is improved compared with the LM4550. 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 LM4550. It is not required for the
LM4550B. 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
LM4550.
The LM4550 requires that pins 1 and 9 (DVDD) connect directly to a 27 nH. inductor before going to the 3.3 Volt
digital supply and the bypass capacitors. The inductor is not required for the LM4550B 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 25).
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 (see Table 14). The Codec Identity is also 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.
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).

SNAS276F – MAY 2005 – REVISED APRIL 2013
The difference between Primary and Secondary codec modes is in their timing source; in the AMAP Slot-to-DAC
mapping used in Output Frames carried by SDATA_OUT; 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 AMAP mappings are given in Table 14 and 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
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.
The Codec Identity is determined by the inverting 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.
In addition to the Codec Identity bits (ID1, ID0), the read-only Extended Audio ID register (28h) contains the
AMAP bit (D9). The AMAP bit indicates support for the (optional) AC '97 Rev. 2.1 compliant mappings from slots
in AC Link Output Frames to the audio DACs for each of the four Codec Identity modes. AMAP = 1 indicates that
the default mapping (as realized after reset) of Slots-to-DACs conforms to Table 14. 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.

SNAS276F – MAY 2005 – REVISED APRIL 2013
CODEC CHAINING
Using Texas Instruments' unique feature for chaining together codecs, a multiple codec system can be built using
fewer interface pins. This Chain feature allows two, three or four codecs to share a single signal input pin at the
controller. By setting the two LSBs of the Chain-In Control register (74h) to a value other than the Codec Identity,
a controller can instruct a codec to disconnect its own SDATA_IN signal and discard its own Input Frame and
instead switch the signal connected to the CIN pin through to the SDATA_IN output pin allowing passage of an
SDATA_IN signal carrying the Input Frame from a codec further down the chain. The Chain-In Control register
(74h) is updated at the rising edge of SYNC therefore an instruction to enable or disable the Chain feature takes
effect in the next frame.
When the Chain feature is used the CIN pin should always be driven. Connect CIN to either the SDATA_IN pin
from another codec or else ground CIN to prevent the possibility of floating the SDATA_IN signal at the
controller.

Test Modes
AC '97 Rev 2.1 defines two test modes: ATE test mode and Vendor test mode. Cold Reset is the only way to exit
either of them. The ATE test mode is activated if SDATA_OUT is sampled high by the trailing edge (zero-to-one
transition) of RESET#. In ATE test mode the codec AC Link outputs SDATA_IN and BIT_CLK are configured to a
high impedance state to allow tester control of the AC Link interface for controller testing. ATE test mode timing
parameters are given in the Electrical Characteristics table. The Vendor test mode is entered if SYNC is sampled
high by the zero-to-one transition of RESET#. Neither of these entry conditions can occur in normal AC Link
operation but care must be taken to avoid mistaken activation of the test modes when using non standard
controllers.
