PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The AD1879 is a two-channel, 18-bit oversampling ADC based
on ∑∆ technology and intended primarily for digital audio applications. The AD1878 is identical to the 18-bit AD1879 except
that it outputs 16-bit data words. Statements in this data sheet
should be read as applying to both parts unless otherwise noted.
Each input channel of these ADCs is fully differential. Each
data conversion channel consists of a fifth order one-bit noise
shaping modulator and a digital decimation filter. An on-chip
voltage reference provides a voltage source to both channels stable over temperature and time. Digital output data from both
channels is time-multiplexed to a single, flexible serial interface.
The AD1878/AD1879 accepts a 256 × FS input master clock.
Input signals are sampled at 64 × FS on switched-capacitors,
eliminating external sample-and-hold amplifiers and minimizing
the requirements for antialias filtering at the input. With simplified antialiasing, linear phase can be preserved across the passband.
The AD1878/AD1879’s proprietary fifth-order differential
switched-capacitor modulator architecture shapes the one-bit
comparator’s quantization noise out of the audio passband. The
high order of the modulator randomizes the modulator output,
reducing idle tones in the AD1878/AD1879 to very low levels.
The AD1878/AD1879’s differential architecture provides increased dynamic range and excellent common-mode rejection
characteristics. Because its modulator is single-bit, AD1878/
AD1879 is inherently monotonic and has no mechanism for
producing differential linearity errors.
The digital decimation filters are single-stage, 4095-tap finite
impulse response filters for filtering the modulator’s high frequency quantization noise and reducing the 64 × FS single-bit
output data rate to a FS word rate. They provide linear

phase and a narrow transition band that permits the digitization
of 20 kHz signals while preventing aliasing into the passband
even when using a 44.1 kHz sampling frequency. Passband
ripple is less the 0.001 dB, and stopband attenuation exceeds
115 dB.
The flexible serial output port produces data in twos-complement,
MSB-first format. Input and output signals are to TTL and
CMOS-compatible logic levels. The port is configured by pin
selections. The AD1878/AD1879 can operate in either master
or slave mode. Each 16-/18-bit output word of a stereo pair can
be formatted within a 32-bit field as either right-justified, I2Scompatible, or at user-selected positions. The output can also be
truncated to 16-bits by formatting into a 16-bit field.
The AD1878/AD1879 consists of two integrated circuits in a
single ceramic 28-pin DIP package. The modulators and reference are fabricated in a BiCMOS process; the decimator and
output port, in a 1.0 µm CMOS process. Separating these functions reduces digital crosstalk to the analog circuitry. Analog and
digital supply connections are separated to further isolate the
analog circuitry from the digital supplies.
The AD1878/AD1879 operates from ± 5 V power supplies over
the temperature range of –25°C to +70°C.

THEORY OF OPERATION
∑∆ Modulator Noise-Shaping
The stereo, differential analog modulators of the AD1878/
AD1879 employ a proprietary feedforward and feedback architecture that passes input signals in the audio band with a unity
transfer function yet simultaneously shape the quantization
noise generated by the one-bit comparator out of the audio
band. See Figure 1. Without the ∑∆ architecture, this quantization noise would be spread uniformly from dc to one-half the
oversampling frequency, 64 × FS. (Regardless of architecture,
64 times oversampling by itself significantly reduces the quantization noise in the audio band if the input is properly dithered.
However, the noise reduction is only [log2 64] × 3 dB = 18 dB.)
Power Supply Rejection
With analog inputs grounded, energy at the output when a

AD1878/AD1879
The AD1878/AD1879’s patented ∑∆ architectures “shape” the
quantization noise-transfer function in a nonuniform manner.
Through careful design, this transfer function can be specified to
high-pass filter the quantization noise out of the audio band into
higher frequency regions. See Figure 27. The Analog Devices’
AD1878/AD1879 also incorporates feedback resonators from
the third integrator’s output to the second integrator’s input and
from the fifth integrator’s output to the fourth integrators’ input.
These resonators do not affect the signal transfer function but
allow flexible placement of zeros in the noise transfer function.
For the AD1878/AD1879, these zeros were placed near the high
frequency end of the audio passband, reducing the quantization
noise in a region where it otherwise would have been increasing.
Oversampling by 64 simplifies the implementation of a high performance audio analog-to-digital conversion system. Antialias
requirements are minimal; a single pole of filtering will usually
suffice to eliminate inputs near FS and its higher multiples.
A fifth-order architecture was chosen both to strongly shape the
noise out of the audio band and to help break up the idle tones
produced in all ∑∆ architectures. These architectures have a tendency to generate periodic patterns with a constant dc input, a
response that looks like a tone in the frequency domain. These
idle tones have a direct frequency dependence on the input dc
offset and indirect dependence on temperature and time as it
affects dc offset. The human ear operates effectively like a spectrum analyzer and can be sensitive to tones below the integrated
noise floor, depending on frequency and level. The AD1878/
AD1879 suppresses idle tones typically 110 dB or better below
full-scale input levels.
Previously it was thought that higher-order modulators could
not be designed to be globally stable. However, the AD1878/
AD1879’s modulator was designed, simulated, and exhaustively
tested to remain stable for any input within a wide tolerance of
its rated input range. The AD1878/AD1879 was designed to
reset itself should it ever be overdriven and go unstable. It will
reset itself within 5 µs at a 48 kHz sampling frequency. Any such
reset events will be invisible to the user since overdriving the inputs will produce a “clipped” waveform at the output.
The AD1878/AD1879 modulator architecture has been implemented using switched-capacitors. A systems benefit is that external sample-and-hold amplifiers are unnecessary since the
capacitors perform the sample-and-hold function Coefficient
weights are created out of varying capacitor sizes. The dominant
noise source in this design is kT/C noise, and the input capacitors are accordingly very large to achieve the AD1878/AD1879’s
performance levels. (Each 6 dB improvement in dynamic range
requires a quadrupling of input capacitor size, as well as an
increase in size of the op amps to drive them.) This AD1878/
AD1879 thermal noise has been controlled to properly dither the
input to an 18-bit level. (Note that 16-bit results from either the
AD1878 or AD1879 will be underdithered.)
With capacitors of adequate size and op amps of adequate drive,
a well-designed switched-capacitor modulator will be relatively
insensitive to jitter on the sampling clock. The key issue is
whether the capacitors have had sufficient time to charge or
discharge during the clock period. A properly designed switched
capacitor modulator should be no more sensitive to clock jitter
than are traditional nonoversampled ADCs. This contrasts with
continuous-time modulators, which are very sensitive to the
exact location of sampling clock edges.
See Figures 20–23 for illustrations of the AD1878/AD1879’s
typical analog performance resulting from this design. Signalto-noise+distortion is shown under a range of conditions. Note
the very good linearity performance of the AD1878/AD1879 as
a consequence of its single-bit ∑∆ architecture in Figure 24.
The common-mode rejection (Figure 25) graph illustrates the
benefits of the AD1878/AD1879’s differential architecture. The
excellent channel separation shown in Figure 26 is the result of
careful chip design and layout. The relatively small change in
gain over temperature (Figure 31) results from a robust reference design.
The output of the AD1878/AD1879 modulators is a stereo
bitstream at 64 × FS (3.072 MHz for FS = 48 kHz). Spectral
analysis of these bits would show that they contain a high quality replica of the input in the audio band and an enormous
amount of quantization noise at higher frequencies. The input
signal can be recreated directly if these bits are fed into a properly designed analog low-pass filter.
Digital Filter Characteristics
The digital decimator accepts the modulators’ stereo bitstream
and simultaneously performs two operations on it. First, the
decimator low-pass filters the quantization noise that the modulator shaped to high frequencies and filters any other out-ofaudio-band input signals. Second, it reduces the data rate to an
output word rate equal to FS. The high frequency bitstream is
reduced to stereo 16-/18-bit words at 48 kHz (or other desired
FS). The one-bit quantization noise, other high-frequency components of the bitstream, and analog signals in the stopband are
attenuated by at least 115 dB.
The AD1878/AD1879 decimator implements a symmetric Finite
Impulse Response (FIR) filter, resulting in its linear phase response. This filter achieves a narrow transition band (0.0923 ×
FS), high stopband attenuation (> 115 dB), and low passband
ripple (< 0.001 dB). The narrow transition band allows the
unattenuated digitization of 20 kHz input signals with FS as low
as 44.1 kHz. The stopband attenuation is sufficient to eliminate
modulator quantization noise from affecting the output. Low
passband ripple prevents the digital filter from coloring the
audio signal. For this level of performance, 4095 22-bit coefficients (taps) were required in each channel of this filter. The
AD1878/AD1879’s decimator employs a proprietary singlestage, multiplier-free structure developed in conjunction with
Ensoniq Corporation. See Figures 28 and 29 for the digital
filter’s characteristics.
The output from the decimator is available as a single serial
output, multiplexed between left and right channels.
Note that the digital filter itself is operating at 64 × FS. As a
consequence, Nyquist images of the passband, transition band,
and stopband will be repeated in the frequency spectrum at
multiples of 64 × FS. Thus the digital filter will attenuate to
115 dB across the frequency spectrum except for a window
± 0.5458 × FS wide centered at multiples of 64 × FS. Any input
signals, clock noise, or digital noise in these frequency windows
will not be attenuated to the full 115 dB. If the high frequency
signals or noise appear within the passband images within these
windows, they will not be digitally attenuated at all.

AD1878/AD1879
Sample Delay
The AD1878/AD1879 decimator makes use of dynamic logic to
minimize die area. There is, therefore, a minimum clock frequency that the AD1878/AD1879 will support specified in
“Specifications” above. Operation of the AD1878/AD1879 at
lower frequencies will cause the device to consume excessive
power and may damage the converter.
The sample delay or “group delay” of the AD1878/AD1879 is
dominated by the processing time of the digital decimation filter. FIR filters convolve a vector representing time samples of
the input with an equal-sized vector of coefficients. After each
convolution, the input vector is updated by adding a new
sample at one end of the “pipeline” and eliminating the oldest
input sample at the other. For an FIR filter, the time at which a
step input appears at the output will be approximately when that
step input is halfway through the input sample vector pipeline.
The input sample vector is updated every 64 × FS. Thus, the
sample delay will be given by the equation,
Reset
The active LO RESET pin (Pin 24) allows initializing the
AD1879. This is of value only for synchronizing multiple
AD1878/AD1879s in Master Mode—WCK Output. Unless you
are interested in synchronizing multiple AD1878/AD1879s, we
recommend tying RESET HI. The reset function is useful for
nothing else. In fact, there is a maximum specification on
RESET LO; excessive power consumption may occur with loss
of reliability if left LO too long due to the dynamic logic on the
chip.
Group Delay = (40964 2) /(64 × FS) = 32 / FS
For the most common sample rates this can be summarized as:
FS
Group Delay
48 kHz
44.1 kHz
32 kHz
667 µs
725 µs
1000 µs
Figure 14 illustrates the timing parameters for RESET to
accomplish synchronization of multiple Master Mode—Word
Clock Output ADCs. (This sequence is not necessary for synchronizing multiple AD1878/AD1879s in other modes. See
“Synchronizing Multiple AD1878/AD1879s” below.) Note that
RESET first has to be LO for at least four CLOCK periods
(three CLOCKs plus tRSET plus tRHLD, to be more precise).
Then RESET must be HI for a minimum of one CLOCK and a
maximum of two CLOCKs. Then RESET must he LO for at
least another four CLOCKs. From the time when RESET goes
HI again, exactly 127 CLOCKs will occur before LRCK goes
LO.
Due to the linear phase properties of FIR filters, the group delay
variation, or differences in group delay at different frequencies is
zero.
OPERATING FEATURES
Voltage Reference
The AD1878/AD1879 includes a +3 V on-board reference
which determines the AD1878/AD1879’s input range. This reference is buffered to both channels of the AD1878/AD1879’s
modulator, providing a well-matched reference to minimize
interchannel gain mismatch. The reference should be bypassed
with 10 µF tantalum capacitors as shown in Figure 2. The internal reference can be overpowered by applying an external reference at the REFR (Pin 14) and REFL (Pin 15) pins, allowing
multiple AD1878/AD1879s to be calibrated to the same gain.
Note that the reference pins still must be bypassed as shown.
Analog Power Down
The AD1878/AD1879 features a power-down mode that
reduces current to the analog modulator. It is controlled by
the active HI APD (Pin 11). The power savings are specified in
“Specifications.” The converter is still “alive” in the powerdown state but will not produce valid results for all audio-band
inputs.
Power consumption can be further reduced by slowing down
the master clock input to the minimum clock frequency,
FCLOCK, specified for the AD1878/AD1879.
Sample Clock
An external master clock supplied to CLOCK (Pin 26) drives
the AD1878/AD1879 modulator, decimator, and digital interface. As with any analog-to-digital conversion system, the sampling clock must be low jitter to prevent conversion errors.
APPLICATIONS ISSUES
Recommended Input Structure
The input clock operates at 256 × FS. The clock is divided down
to obtain the 64 × FS clock required for the modulator. The output word rate will be at FS itself. This relationship is illustrated
for popular sample rates below:
The AD1878/AD1879 input structure is fully differential for
improved common-mode rejection properties and increased
dynamic range. Since each input pin sees ± 3 V swings, each
channel’s input signal effectively swings ± 6 V, i.e., across a
12 V range.

In most cases, a single-ended-to-differential input circuit is
required. Shown in Figure 2 is our recommended circuit, based
on extensive experimentation. Note that to maximize signal
swing, the op amps in this circuit are powered by ± 12 V or
greater supplies. The AD1878/AD1879 itself requires ± 5 V
supplies. If ± 5 V supplies are not already available in your system, Figure 3 illustrates our recommended circuit for generating these supplies.
The AD1878/AD1879 serial interface supports both “master”
and “slave” modes. Note that even in slave mode it is presumed
that the serial interface clocks are derived from the master clock
input, CLOCK. Slave mode does not support asynchronous
data transfers, since asynchronous data transfers would compromise the performance of any high performance converter.

The input circuit of Figure 2 could be implemented with a
single pair of operational amplifiers per channel, one inverting
and one noninverting. The recommended architecture shown in
Figure 2 using three inverting op amps per channel provides isolation of the op amp inputs from charge dumped back from the
AD1878/AD1879’s input capacitors when these large capacitors
switch. The performance from a two op amp per channel input
structure is not quite as good as the structure recommended,
but it is close and may be adequate in many applications.

Obtaining the best possible performance from a state-of-the-art
data converter like the AD1878/AD1879 requires close attention to board layout. From extensive experimentation, we have
discovered principles that produce typical values of 103 dB dynamic range and 98 dB S/(THD+N) in your system. Schematics
of our AD1878/AD1879 Evaluation Board, which implements
these recommendations, are available from Analog Devices.

Figure 4. AD1878/AD1879 Recommended Bypassing and
Oscillator Circuits
The trim potentiometers shown in Figure 2 connecting the
minus (–) inputs of the driving op amps permit trimming out dc
offset, if desired.
• The digital bypassing of the AD1878/AD1879 is the most
critical item on the board layout. There are two pairs of digital supply pins of the part, each pair on opposite sides (Pins 5
and 6 and Pins 22 and 23). The user should tie a bypass capacitor set (0.1 µF ceramic and 10 µF tantalum) on EACH
pair of supply pins as close to the pins as possible. The traces
between these package pins and the capacitors should be as
short and as wide as possible. This will prevent digital supply
current transients from being inductively transmitted to the
inputs of the part.
Note that the driving op amp feedback resistors are all slightly
different values. These values produce a slight differential gain
imbalance and were derived empirically to minimize second
harmonic distortion on average and produce the best overall
THD without part-by-part trimming. Replacing one of these
feedback resistors in each channel with a trim potentiometer
allows trimming the differential gain imbalance for part-by-part
optimal performance. We have done this in the lab by paralleling 100 kΩ trim potentiometers around the 5.49 kΩ and
5.36 kΩ input feedback resistors for the VIN plus (+) signals
that can be found in Figure 2. By trimming gain imbalance, second harmonic distortion can always be eliminated. In “Specifications,” a distinction is drawn between trimmed and untrimmed
signal-to (noise + distortion) and trimmed and untrimmed total
harmonic distortion. The untrimmed specifications are tested to
• The analog input bypassing is the second most critical item.
Use 0.01 µF NPO ceramic capacitors from each input pin to
the analog ground plane, with a clear ground path from the
bypass capacitor to the AGND pin on the same side of the
package (Pins 10 and 18). The trace between this package
pin and the capacitor should be as short and as wide as possible. A 0.0047 µF NPO ceramic capacitor should be placed

AD1878/AD1879
between each set of input pins (12 to 13, and 17 to 16) to
complete the input bypassing. This input bypassing minimizes the RF transmission and reception capability of the
AD1878/AD1879 inputs.
• For best performance, do not use a socket with the AD1878/
AD1879. If you must socket the part, use pin clips to keep
the part flush with the board, thus keeping bypassing as
close to the chip as possible.
• The AD1878/AD1879 should be placed on a split ground
plane as illustrated in Figure 5. The digital ground plane
should be placed under the top end of the package and the
analog ground plane should be placed under the bottom end
of the package as shown in Figure 5. The split should be between Pins 7 and 8 and between Pins 21 and 22. The
ground planes should be tied together at one spot underneath the center of the package. This ground plane technique also minimizes RF transmission and reception.
be more effective.) This technique makes use of the fact that the
noise in independent modulator channels is uncorrelated. Thus
every doubling of the number of AD1879 channels used will improve system dynamic range by 3 dB. The digital outputs from
the corresponding decimator channels have to be arithmetically
averaged to obtain the improved results in the correct data format. A digital processor, either general-purpose or DSP, can
easily perform the averaging operation.
Shown below in Figure 6 is a circuit for obtaining a 3 dB improvement in dynamic range by using both channels of a single
AD1879 with a mono input. The minus (–) output from the input buffer is sent to both right and left minus AD1879 inputs;
the plus (+) output from the input buffer is sent to both right
and left plus AD1879 inputs. A stereo implementation would
require using two AD1879s and using the full recommended input structure shown above in Figure 2. Note that a single digital
processor would likely be able to handle the averaging requirements for both left and right channels.

• Each reference pin (14 and 15) should be bypassed with a
resistor and a capacitor. One end of the resistor should be
placed as close to the package pin as possible, and the trace
to it from the reference pin should be as short and as wide as
possible. Keep this trace away from input pin traces! Coupling between input and reference traces will cause second
harmonic distortion. The resistor is used to reduce the high
frequency coupling into the references from the board.
• Wherever possible, minimize the capacitive load on digital
outputs of the part. This will reduce the digital spike currents drawn from the digital supply pins.
How to Extend SNR
A cost-effective method of improving the dynamic range and
SNR of an analog-to-digital conversion system is to use multiple AD1879 channels in parallel with a common analog input.
(The same technique would work with the AD1878. However,
this would be of little value since using a single AD1879 would

DIGITAL INTERFACE
Modes of Operation
The AD1878/AD1879’s flexible serial output port produces
data in twos-complement, MSB-first format. Output signals are
to TTL/CMOS logic levels. The port is configured by pin selections. The AD1879 can operate in either master or slave modes.
Each 16-/18-bit output word of a stereo pair can be formatted
within a 32-bit field as right-justified, as I2S-compatible, or at
user-selected positions. The two 32-bit fields constitute a 64-bit
frame (64-bit mode). The output can also be truncated to 16
bits and formatted in a 16-bit field with two 16-bit fields in a
32-bit frame (32-bit mode).
The various mode options are pin-programmed with the S0
Mode Select Pin (3), the S1 Mode Select Pin (25), and the
64/32 Bit Rate Select Pin (4). The function of these pins is
summarized:

Serial Port Data Timing Sequences
In the “master modes,” the bit clock (BCK) and left/right clock
(LRCK) are always outputs, generated internally in the AD1878/
AD1879 from the master clock (CLOCK) input. The word
clock (WCK) may either be an internally generated output or a
user-supplied input, depending on the pin-programmed mode
selected.
–9–
AD1878/AD1879
In the “slave modes,” the bit clock (BCK), the word clock
(WCK), and the left/right clock (LRCK) are user-supplied inputs. Note that, for performance reasons, the AD1878/AD1879
does not support asynchronous operation; these clocks must be
externally derived from the master clock (CLOCK). The functional sequence of the signals in the slave modes is identical to
the master modes with word clock input, and they share the
same sequence timing diagrams.
options are illustrated in Figures 9, 10, 11, and 12. For all options, the first occurrence in a 32-bit field when the word clock
(WCK) is HI on a bit clock (BCK) falling edge will cause the
beginning of data transmission. The MSB on DATA will be
valid at the next BCK rising edge. Again, the LRCK output discriminates the left from the right output fields.
Figure 9 illustrates the general case for 64-bit frame modes with
word clock input where the MSB is valid on the rising edge of
the Nth bit clock (BCK). Figures 10 and 11 illustrate the limits.
If WCK is still LO at the falling edge of the 14th bit clock (BCK)
for the AD1879 or 16th bit clock (BCK) for the AD1878, then the
MSB of the current word will be output anyway, valid at the rising edge of the 15th bit clock (BCK) in the field for the AD1879,
17th for the AD1878. This limit insures that all 16/18 bits will
be output within the current field. The effect is to right-justify
the data.
In 64-Bit Master Mode with Word Clock Output, the 16-/18-bit
words are right-justified in 32-bit fields as shown in Figures 7
and 8. The WCK output goes HI approximately with the falling
edge of the BCK output, indicating that the MSB on DATA will
be externally valid at the next BCK rising edge. The LRCK output discriminates the left from the right output fields.
In 64-bit frame modes with word clock (WCK) is an input, the
16-/18-bit words can be placed in user-defined locations within
32-bit fields. This is true in both master and slave modes. The

At the other limit, if the word clock (WCK) is HI during the first
bit clock (BCK) of the field, then the MSB of the output word
will be valid on the rising edge of the 2nd bit clock (BCK) as
shown in Figure 12. The effect is to delay the MSB for one bit
clock cycle into the field, making the output data compatible at
the data format level with the I2S data format.

In 64-bit frame modes with word clock (WCK) as an input, the
relative placement of the word clock (WCK) input can vary
from 32-bit field to 32-bit field, even within the same 64-bit
frame. For example, within a single 64-bit frame the left word
could be right-justified (by keeping WCK LO) and the right
word could be in an I2S-compatible data format (by having
WCK HI at the beginning of the second field).

Also available with the AD1878/AD1879 is a 32-bit frame mode
where the 1879’s 18-bit output is truncated to 16-bit words and
for both parts the output packed “tightly” into two 16-bit fields
in the 32-bit frame as shown in Figure 13. Note that the bit
clock (BCK) and data transmission (DATA) are operating at
one-half the rate as they would in the 64-bit frame modes. The
distinction between master and slave modes still holds in the
32-bit frame modes, though the word clock (WCK) becomes irrelevant. If “32-Bit Master Mode With Word Clock Out HI” is
selected, the word clock (WCK) will stay in a constant HI state.
If “32-Bit Master Mode With Word Clock Ignored” is selected,
the word clock pin (WCK) will be three-stated and any input to
it is ignored as meaningless. (However, such an input should be
tied off to HI or LO and not left to float.)
In both 32-bit master modes, the left/right clock (LRCK) will be
an output, indicating the difference between the left word/field
and right word/field. In 32-Bit Slave Mode, the left/right clock
(LRCK) is an input.
Timing Parameters
The AD1878/AD1879 uses its master clock, CLOCK to resynchronize all inputs and outputs. The discussion above presumed
that most timing parameters are relative to the bit clock, BCK.
This is approximately true and provides an accurate model of
the sequence of timing events. However, to be more precise, we
have to specify all setup and hold times relative to CLOCK.
These are illustrated in Figures 15, 16, and 17.
For master modes with word clock (WCK) output, bit clock
(BCK), left/right clock (LRCK), and word clock (WCK) will be
delayed from a master clock input (CLOCK) rising edge by
tDLYCK as shown in Figure 15. The MSB of the DATA output
will be delayed from a falling edge of master clock (CLOCK) by
tDLYD,MSB. Subsequent bits of the DATA output in contrast will
be delayed from a rising edge of master clock (CLOCK) by
tDLYD. (The MSB is valid one-half CLOCK period less than the
subsequent bits.)
For master modes with word clock (WCK) inputs, bit clock
(BCK) and left/ right clock (LRCK) will be delayed from a
master clock input (CLOCK) rising edge by tDLYCK as shown in
Figure 16, the same delay as with word clock output modes.
The word clock (WCK) input, however, now has a setup time
requirement, tWSET, to the rising edge of master clock (CLOCK
at “W”) and a corresponding hold time, tWHLD, from the rising
of the third rising edge of CLOCK (W+3) after the setup edge.
See Figure 16. As in the Master Mode—Word Clock Output
case, the MSB of the DATA output will be delayed from a falling edge of master clock (CLOCK) by tDLYD,MSB. Subsequent
bits of the DATA output in contrast will be delayed from a rising edge of master clock (CLOCK) by tDLYD.
For slave modes, bit clock (BCK) and left/right clock (LRCK)
will be inputs with setup time, tSET, and hold time tHLD,
requirements to the falling edges of CLOCK as shown in Figure 17. Note that both edges of BCK and of LRCK have setup
and hold time requirements. Note also that LRCK is setup to
the falling edge of the “L” CLOCK, coincident with the CLOCK
edge to which a falling edge of BCK is setup (B+3). LRCK’s
hold time requirements are relative to the falling edge of the
“L + 31” CLOCK edge.

Figure 17. AD1878/AD1879 Slave Mode Timing
For slave modes, the word clock (WCK) input has the same
setup time requirement, tWSET, to the rising edge of master
clock (CLOCK at “W” ) as in Figure 16 and a corresponding
hold time, tWHLD, from the rising edge of CLOCK (W+3) after
the setup edge. The MSB of the DATA output will be delayed
from a falling edge of master clock (CLOCK) by tDLYD,MSB.
Subsequent bits of the DATA output in contrast will be delayed
from a rising edge of master clock (CLOCK) by tDLYD.
Word Clock Output. Thus, the AD1878/AD1879 is the master
of the serial interface. The AD1878/AD1879 operates independently from the DSµPs clock. The DSP56001 serial port is
configured to operate in synchronous mode with the AD1878/
AD1879 connected to its synchronous serial interface (SSI) port.
Synchronizing Multiple AD1878/AD1879s
Multiple AD1878/AD1879s can be synchronized either by
making all AD1878/AD1879s serial port slaves or by making
one AD1879 the serial port master and all other AD1879s
slaves. These two options are illustrated in Figure 18.
As a third alternative, it is possible to synchronize multiple masters all in Master Mode—Word Clock Output mode. See the
“Reset” discussion above in the “Operating Features” section
for timing considerations.
AD1878/AD1879 to DSP56001 Interface
The 18-bit AD1878/AD1879 can be interfaced quite simply to
the DSP56001 Digital Signal Processor. Figure 19 illustrates
one method of connection. In this implementation, the AD1878/
AD1879 is configured to operate in 64-Bit Master Mode With

To configure the DSP56001 for proper operation, the CRA
register must he programmed for a 24-bit receive data register
(RX). The CRB register must be programmed with the following conditions: receiver enabled, normal mode, continuous
clock, word length frame synch, MSB first, SCK an input, SC1
an input and SC2 an input. The PCC register must be programmed to set the SCK, SC1, SC2, and SRD pins of Port C
to operate as a serial interface rather than in general-purpose
parallel I/O mode.

When SSI detects the rising edge of the AD1878/AD1879’s
word clock (WCK), the next 24-bits on the AD1878/AD1879’s
DATA pin will be clocked into the DSP56001’s SSI receive
shift register on the falling edges of the inverted bit-clock
(BCK) signal. This data is then transferred to the RX register.
The 16-/18-bit word from the AD1879 will be located in Bits 8
through 23/21 of the RX register. Bits 0 through 7 will be
zero-filled. The user may poll Bit 7 (RDF) of the SSI status
register (SSISR) to detect when the data has been transferred
to RX. Alternatively, the RIE bit can be set, allowing an interrupt to occur when the data has been transferred.

To differentiate left and right data, the SC1 pin of the SSI is an
input and is connected to the LRCK of the AD1878/AD1879.
After a data word is transferred to the RX register, the software
reads the IF1 bit in the SSISR, which contains the left/right information. In order to use the SC1 pin as indicated, the SSI
must operate in synchronous mode. An DSP56001 assembly
code fragment for this approach (with polling) is shown in
Table I.

If the SSI is set up for asynchronous operation, the SC0 and
SC1 pins are unavailable for left/right detection. If asynchronous operation is essential, left/right information can be obtained by synchronizing the AD1878/AD1879 with a software
reset. Coming out of reset, the AD1878/AD1879 will transmit
left channel data first. A flag maintained in software can maintain the synchronization.
