NSC LM4548VH

LM4548
AC ’97 Rev 2 Codec with Sample Rate Conversion and
National 3D Sound
General Description
Key Specifications
The LM4548 is an audio codec for PC systems which is fully
PC98 compliant and performs the analog intensive functions
of the AC97 Rev2 architecture. Using 18-bit Sigma-Delta
A/D’s and D/A’s, the LM4548 provides 90dB of Dynamic
Range.
The LM4548 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 A/D’s and D/A’s
and an analog mixer with 4 stereo and 3 mono inputs, each
of which has separate gain, attenuation and mute control.
The LM4548 also provides the additional True Line-Level
output and National’s 3D Sound stereo enhancement.
The LM4548 supports variable sample rate conversion as
defined in the AC97 Rev2 specification. The sample rate for
the A/D and D/A can be programmed separately to convert
any rate between 4kHz - 48kHz with a resolution of 1Hz. The
AC97 architecture separates the analog and digital functions
of the PC audio system allowing both for system design flexibility and increased performance.

Note 1: All voltages are measured with respect to the ground pin, unless otherwise specified.
Note 2: These specifications are guaranteed by design and characterization; they are not production tested.
Note 3: 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 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 LM4548, TJMAX = 150˚C. The
typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 74˚C/W for package number VBH48A.
Note 5: Human body model, 100 pF discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor.
Note 6: Machine Model, 220 pF–240 pF discharged through all pins.
Note 7: Typicals are measured at 25˚C and represent the parametric norm.
Note 8: Limits are guaranteed to National’s AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).

ID0 and ID1 set the codec address for multiple codec use where ID0 is the LSB. Connect
these pins to DVdd or GND as required. If these pins are not connected (NC), they default
to Master Codec setting (same as connecting both pins to GND). These pins are of the
same polarity as their internal ID0, ID1 registers. If pin 45 is connected to GND, then ID0 will
be set to ″0″ internally. Connection to DVdd corresponds to a ″1″ internally.

FIGURE 4. AC Link Audio Output Frame
AC Link Output Frame: SDATA_OUT (output from
controller, input to LM4548)
The audio output frame (output from AC ’97 Controller) contains control and PCM data targeted for the LM4548 control
registers and stereo DAC. The Tag slot, slot 0, contains 16
bits that tell the AC Link interface circuitry on the LM4548 the
validity of the following data slots.
A new audio output frame is signaled with a low to high transition of SYNC. SYNC is synchronous to the rising edge of
BIT_CLK. On the next rising edge of BIT_CLK, the AC ’97
Controller drives SDATA_OUT with the first bit of slot 0. The
LM4548 samples SDATA_OUT on the falling edge of BIT_CLK. The AC ’97 Controller will continue outputting the
SDATA_OUT stream on each successive rising edge of BIT_CLK.
DS100987-5
FIGURE 5. Start of Audio Output Frame
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 data frame contains
at least one slot of valid data and the LM4548 will further
sample the next four bits to determine which frames do in
fact have valid data. Valid slots are signified by a 1 in their respective slot bit position.

Register Descriptions
Reset Register (00h)
Writing any value to this register causes a register reset
which changes all of the registers back to their default values. If a read is performed on this register, the LM4548 will
return a value of 0D50h indicating that National 3D Sound is
implemented, 18bit data is supported for both the ADC’s and
DAC’s, and the volume control for True Line Level Out is
supported.
Master Volume Registers (02h, 04h, 06h)
These registers allow the output levels from LINE_OUT, LNLVL_OUT and MONO_OUT to be attenuated or muted.
There are 6-bits of volume control, plus one mute bit. It is a
5-bit volume range, where each step is nominally 1.5dB and
each output can be individually muted by either setting the
most significant bit (Mx5), and/or the mute bit (D15) to ″1.″

Record (Input) Gain Register (1Ch)
This registers controls the Record (Input) Gain level for the
stereo input selected via the Record Select Control Register
(1Ah). The gain can be programmed from 0dB to +22.5dB in
1.5dB steps. The level for the left and right channel can be
individually controlled. The input can also be muted by setting the MSB to 1.

General Purpose Register (20h)
This register controls many miscellaneous functions implemented on the LM4548. The miscellaneous functions include
POP which allows the PCM to bypass the National 3D
Sound circuitry, 3D which enables or disables the National
3D Sound circuitry, MIX which selects the MONO_OUT
source, MS which selects the microphone mux source and
LPBK which connects the output of the stereo ADC to input
of the stereo DAC. LPBK provides for a digital loopthru path
when enabled.
Default: 0000h
Mixer Input Volume Registers (Index 0Ch - 18h)
These registers set the input volume levels including mute.
Each volume control is 5 bit which provides from a range of
+12dB gain to 34.5dB attenuation in 1.5dB steps. For stereo
ports, the left and right levels can be independently set. 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. Register 0Eh has an additional 20dB boost for
a microphone level input. This is enabled by setting bit 6 of
register 0Eh to 1.

Powerdown Control / Status Register (26h)
This read/write register is used to monitor subsystem readiness and also to program the LM4548 powerdown states.
The lower half of this register is read only with a ″1″, indicating the subsection is ready. Writing to the lower 8 bits will
have no effect.
Default: 8008h (mono regs.), 8808h (stereo regs.)
Record Select Register (1Ah)
This register independently controls the source for the right
and left channel which will be recorded by the stereo ADC.
The default value is 0000h which corresponds to Mic in.
