The AD1846 SoundPort Stereo Codec supports a DMA request/grant architecture for transferring data with the host computer bus. One or two DMA channels can be supported.
Programmed I/O (PIO) mode is also supported for control register accesses and for applications lacking DMA control. Two
input control lines support mixed direct and indirect addressing
of twenty-one internal control registers over this asynchronous
interface.
External circuit requirements are limited to a minimal number
of low cost support components. Anti-imaging DAC output
filters are incorporated on-chip. DAC dynamic range exceeds
80 dB over the 20 kHz audio band. Sample rates from 5.5 kHz
to 48 kHz are supported from external crystals.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Parallel-Port AD1846 SoundPort® Stereo Codec integrates
key audio data conversion and control functions into a single integrated circuit. The AD1846 is intended to provide a complete,
single-chip audio solution for business audio and multimedia
applications requiring operation from a single +5 V supply.
*Windows Sound System is a trademark of Microsoft Corp.
SoundPort is a registered trademark of Analog Devices, Inc.
The Codec includes a stereo pair of ∑∆ analog-to-digital converters and a stereo pair of ∑∆ digital-to-analog converters. Inputs to the ADC can be selected from four stereo pairs of analog
signals: line, microphone (“mic”), auxiliary (“aux”) line #1, and
post-mixed DAC output. A software-controlled programmable
gain stage allows independent gain for each channel going into
the ADC. The ADCs’ output can be digitally mixed with the
DACs’ input.

AUX1 and AUX2 analog stereo signals can be mixed in the analog domain with the DAC output. Each channel of each auxiliary analog input can be independently gained/attenuated from
+12 dB to –34.5 dB in –1.5 dB steps or completely muted. The
post mixed DAC output is available on OUT externally and as
an input to the ADCs.

Even if the AD1846 is not playing back data from its DACs, the
analog mix function can still be active.
DATA7:0
Analog-to-Digital Datapath
The AD1846 ∑∆ ADCs incorporate a fourth order modulator.
A single pole of passive filtering is all that is required for antialiasing the analog input because of the ADC’s high 64 times
oversampling ratio. The ADCs include linear phase digital decimation filters that low-pass filter the input to 0.4 3 FS. (“FS’’ is
the word rate or “sampling frequency”). ADC input overrange
conditions will cause bits to be set that can be read.

Each channel of the mic inputs can be amplified digitally by
+18 dB to compensate for the voltage swing differences between
line levels and typical condenser microphone levels. This +18
dB digital gain is enabled with the same control bits (LMGE
and RMGE) as the +20 dB analog gain in the AD1848.
Figure 1. Interface to ISA Bus
The pair of 16-bit outputs from the ADCs is available over a
byte-wide bidirectional interface that also supports 16-bit digital
input to the DACs and control information. The AD1846 can
accept and generate 16-bit twos-complement PCM linear digital
data, 8-bit unsigned magnitude PCM linear data, and 8-bit
µ-law or A-law companded digital data.
Digital-to-Analog Datapath
The ∑∆ DACs contain a programmable attenuator and a lowpass digital interpolation filter. The anti-imaging interpolation
filter oversamples by 64 and digitally filters the higher frequency
images. The attenuator allows independent control of each
DAC channel from 0 dB to –94.5 dB in 1.5 dB steps plus full
mute. The DACs’ ∑∆ noise shapers also oversample by 64 and
convert the signal to a single bit stream. The DAC outputs are
then filtered in the analog domain by a combination of switchedcapacitor and continuous-time filters. They remove the very
high frequency components of the DAC bitstream output. No
external components are required. Phase linearity at the analog
output is achieved by internally compensating for the group
delay variation of the analog output filters.
The ∑∆ DACs are preceded by a digital interpolation filter. An
attenuator provides independent user volume control over each
DAC channel. Nyquist images and shaped quantization noise
are removed from the DACs’ analog stereo output by on-chip
switched-capacitor and continuous-time filters. Two stereo pairs
of auxiliary line-level inputs can also be mixed in the analog domain with the DAC output.
AUDIO FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
This section overviews the functionality of the AD1846 and is
intended as a general introduction to the capabilities of the device. As much as possible, detailed reference information has
been placed in “Control Registers” and other sections. The user
is not expected to refer repeatedly to this section.
Changes in DAC output attenuation take effect only on zero
crossings, thereby eliminating “zipper” noise. Each channel has
its own independent zero-crossing detector and attenuator
change control circuitry. A timer guarantees that requested volume changes will occur even in the absence of an input signal
that changes sign. The time-out period is 8 milliseconds at a
48 kHz sampling rate and 48 milliseconds at an 8 kHz sampling
rate. (Time out [ms] ≈ 384/FS [kHz].)
Analog Inputs
The AD1846 SoundPort Stereo Codec accepts stereo line-level
and mic-level inputs. LINE, MIC, and AUX1 inputs and postmixed DAC output analog stereo signals are multiplexed to the
internal programmable gain amplifier (PGA) stage.
Digital Mixing
Stereo digital output from the ADCs can be mixed digitally with
the input to the DACs. Digital output from the ADCs going out
of the data port is unaffected by the digital mix. Along the digital mix datapath, the 16-bit linear output from the ADCs is
attenuated by an amount specified with control bits. Both channels of the monitor data are attenuated by the same amount.
(Note that internally the AD1846 always works with 16-bit
PCM linear data, digital mixing included; format conversions
take place at the input and output.)
The PGA following the input multiplexer allows independent
selectable gains for each channel from 0 to 22.5 dB in +1.5 dB
steps. The Codec can operate either in a global stereo mode or
in a global mono mode with left channel inputs appearing at
both channel outputs.

Sixty-four steps of –1.5 dB attenuation are supported to
–94.5 dB. The digital mix datapath can also be completely
muted, preventing any mixing of the analog input with the digital input. Note that the level of the mixed signal is also a function of the input PGA settings, since they affect the ADCs’
output.

EXPANSION
The attenuated digital mix data is digitally summed with the
DAC input data prior to the DACs’ datapath attenuators. The
digital sum of digital mix data and DAC input data is clipped at
plus or minus full scale and does not wrap around. Because
both stereo signals are mixed before the output attenuators, mix
data is attenuated a second time by the DACs’ datapath
attenuators.

When 8-bit companding is specified, the ADCs’ linear output is
compressed to the format specified.
In case the AD1846 is capturing data but ADC output data is
not removed in time (“ADC overrun”), then the last sample
captured before overrun will be used for the digital mix. In case
the AD1846 is playing back data hut input digital DAC data
fails to arrive in time (“DAC underrun”), then a midscale zero
will be added to the digital mix data.

Digital Data Types
The AD1846 supports four data types: 16-bit twos-complement
linear PCM, eight-bit unsigned linear PCM, companded µ-law,
and 8-bit companded A-law, as specified by control register bits.
Data in all four formats is always transferred MSB first. Stereo
data is always transferred in the left-right order. All data formats
that are less than 16 bits are properly aligned to insure the utilization of full system resolution.
The 16-bit PCM data format is capable of representing 96 dB of
dynamic range. Eight-bit PCM can represent 48 dB of dynamic
range. Companded µ-law and A-law data formats use nonlinear
coding with less precision for large amplitude signals. The loss
of precision is compensated for by an increase in dynamic range
to 64 dB and 72 dB, respectively.
On input, 8-bit companded data is expanded to an internal linear representation, according to whether µ-law or A-law was
specified in the Codec’s internal registers. Note that when µ-law
compressed data is expanded to a linear format, it requires 14
bits. A-law data expanded requires 13 bits.
MSB
Note that all format conversions take place at input or output.
Internally, the AD1846 always uses 16-bit linear PCM representations to maintain maximum precision.
Power Supplies and Voltage Reference
The AD1846 operates from +5 V power supplies. Independent
analog and digital supplies are recommended for optimal performance though excellent results can be obtained in single supply
systems. A voltage reference is included on the Codec and its
2.25 V buffered output is available on an external pin (VREF).
The reference output can be used for biasing op amps used in
dc coupling. The internal reference must be externally bypassed
to analog ground at the VREF_F pin.
Clocks and Sample Rates
The AD1846 operates from external crystals. Two crystal inputs
are provided to generate a wide range of sample rates. The oscillators for these crystals are on the AD1846, as is a multiplexer
for selecting between them. They can be overdriven with external clocks by the user, if so desired. The recommended crystal
frequencies are 16.9344 MHz and 24.576 MHz. From them the
following sample rates are divided down: 5.5125, 6.615, 8, 9.6,
11.025, 16, 18.9, 22.05, 27.42857, 32, 33.075, 37.8, 44.1,
48 kHz.

CONTROL REGISTERS
Control Register Architecture
The AD1846 SoundPort Stereo Codec accepts both data and
control information through its byte-wide parallel port. Indirect
addressing minimizes the number of external pins required to
access all 21 of its byte-wide internal registers. Only two external address pins, ADR1:0, are required to accomplish all data
and control transfers. These pins select one of five direct registers. (ADR1:0 = 3 addresses two registers, depending on
whether the transfer is a playback or a capture.)

Index Address. These bits define the address of the AD1846 register accessed by the Indexed Data Register. These bits
are read/write.
res
Reserved for future expansion. Always write a zero to this bit.
TRD
Transfer Request Disable. This bit, when set, causes all data transfers to cease when the Interrupt Status (INT) bit of the
Status Register is set.
MCE
0
Transfers Enabled During Interrupt. PDRQ and CDRQ pin outputs are generated uninhibited by interrupts.
DMA Current Counter Register decrements with every sample period when either PEN or CEN are enabled.
1
Transfers Disabled By Interrupt. PDRQ and CDRQ pin outputs are generated only if INT bit is 0 (when either
PEN or CEN, respectively, are enabled). Any pending playback or capture requests are allowed to complete at the
time when TRD is set. After pending requests complete, midscale inputs will be internally generated for the
DACs, and the ADC output buffer will contain the last valid output. Clearing the sticky INT bit (or the TRD bit)
will cause the resumption of playback and/or capture requests (presuming PEN and/or CEN are enabled). The
DMA Current Counter Register will not decrement while both the TRD bit is set and the INT bit is a one.
Mode Change Enable. This bit must be set whenever the current functional mode of the AD1846 is changed. Specifically,
the Clock and Data Format and Interface Configuration registers cannot be changed unless this bit is set. The exceptions
are CEN and PEN in the Interface Configuration which can be changed “on-the-fly.” MCE should be cleared at the completion of the desired register changes. The DAC outputs are automatically muted when the MCE bit is set. After MCE is
cleared, the DAC outputs will be restored to the state specified by the LDM and RDM mute bits.
Both ADCs and DACs are automatically muted for approximately 128 sample cycles after exiting the MCE state to allow
the reference and all filters to settle. The ADCs will produce midscale values; the DACs’ analog output will be muted. All
converters are internally operating during these ≈128 sample cycles, and the AD1846 will expect playback data and will
generate (midscale) capture data. Note that the autocalibrate-in-process (ACI) bit will be set on exit from the MCE state
regardless of whether or not ACAL was set. ACI will remain HI for these ≈128 sample cycles; system software should poll
this bit rather than count cycles.
Special sequences must be followed if autocalibrate (ACAL) is set or sample rates are changed (CFS2:0 and or CSS)
during mode change enable. See the “Autocalibration” and “Changing Sample Rates” sections below.
INIT
AD1846 Initialization. This bit is set when the AD1846 is in a state which cannot respond to parallel bus cycles. This bit
is read only.
Immediately after reset and once the AD1846 has left the INIT state, the initial value of this register will be “0100 0000 (40h).”
During AD1846 initialization, this register cannot be written to and will always read “100x 0000 (80h).”

The PIO Data Registers are two registers mapped to the same address. Writes send data to the PIO Playback Data Register (PD7:0).
Reads will receive data from the PIO Capture Data Register (CD7:0).
During AD1846 initialization, the PIO Playback Data Register cannot be written and the Capture Data Register is always read
“1000 0000 (80h).”
CD7:0
PIO Capture Data Register. This is the control register where capture data is read during programmed I/O data transfers.
The reading of this register will increment the state machine so that the following read will be from the next appropriate
byte in the sample. The exact byte which is next to be read can be determined by reading the Status Register. Once all relevant bytes have been read, the state machine will stay pointed to the last byte of the sample until a new sample is received
from the ADCs. Once this has occurred, the state machine and status register will point to the first byte of the sample.
Until a new sample is received, reads from this register will return the most significant byte of the sample.
PD7:0
PIO Playback Data Register. This is the control register where playback data is written during programmed I/O data
transfers.
Writing data to this register will increment the playback byte tracking state machine so that the following write will be to
the correct byte of the sample. Once all bytes of a sample have been written, subsequent byte writes to this port are ignored. The state machine is reset when the current sample is sent to the DACs.

DMA BASE COUNT REGISTERS (IXA3:0 = 14 & 15)
The DMA Base Count Registers in the AD1846 simplify integration of the AD1846 in ISA systems. The ISA DMA controller requires an external count mechanism to notify the host CPU via interrupt of a full DMA buffer. The programmable DMA Base
Count Registers will allow such interrupts to occur.
The Base Count Registers contain the number of sample periods which will occur before an interrupt is generated on the interrupt
(INT) pin. To load, first write a value to the Lower Base Count Register. Writing a value to the Upper Base Register will cause both
Base Count Registers to load into the Current Count Register. Once AD1846 transfers are enabled, each sample period the Current
Count Register will decrement until zero count is reached. The next sample period after zero will generate the interrupt and reload
the Current Count Register with the values in the Base Count Registers. The interrupt is cleared by a write to the Status Register.
The Host Interrupt Pin (INT) will go HI during the sample period in which the Current Count Register underflows when Interrupt
Enable (IEN) is set. The Host Interrupt Pin (INT) will go LO when the Interrupt Status Bit (INT) is cleared. [Note that both the
Host Interrupt Pin and the Interrupt Status Bit have the same name (INT)].
The Current Count Register is decremented every sample period when either the PEN or CEN bit is enabled and also either the
Transfer Request Disable (TRD) bit or the Interrupt Status (INT) bit are zero. Note that the internal INT bit will become one on
counter underflow even if the external interrupt pin is not enabled, i.e., IEN is zero. The Current Count Register is decremented in
both PIO and DMA data transfer modes.

AD1846
DATA AND CONTROL TRANSFERS
Control and Programmed I/O (PIO) Transfers
The AD1846 SoundPort Stereo Codec supports a DMA request/grant architecture for transferring data with the host computer bus. One or two DMA channels can be supported.
Programmed I/O (PIO) mode is also supported for control register accesses and for applications lacking DMA control. PIO
transfers can be made on one channel while the other is performing DMA. Transfers to and from the AD1846 SoundPort
Codec are asynchronous relative to the internal data conversion
clock. Transfers are buffered, but the AD1846 supports no internal FIFOs. The host is responsible for providing playback
data before the next digital-to-analog conversion and removing
capture data before the next analog-to-digital conversion.
This simpler mode of transfers is used both for control register
accesses and programmed I/O. The 21 control and PIO data
registers cannot he accessed via DMA transfers. Playback PIO is
activated when both Playback Enable (PEN) is set and Playback
PIO (PPIO) is set. Capture PIO is activated when both Capture
Enable (CEN) is set and Capture PIO (CPIO) is set. See Figures 11 and 12 for the detailed timing of the control register/
PIO transfers. The RD and WR signals are used to define the
actual read and write cycles, respectively. The host holds CS
LO during these transfers. The DMA Capture Data Acknowledge (CDAK) and Playback Data Acknowledge (PDAK) must
be held inactive, i.e., HI.
Data Ordering
For read/capture cycles, the AD1846 will place data on the
DATA7:0 lines while the host is asserting the read strobe, RD,
by holding it LO. For write/playback, the host must place data
on the DATA7:0 pins while strobing the WR signal LO. The
AD1846 latches the write/playback data on the rising edge of
the WR strobe.
The number of byte-wide transfers required depends on the
data format selected. The AD1846 is designed for “little
endian” formats in which the least significant byte (i.e., occupying the lowest memory address) gets transferred first. So 16-bit
data transfers require first transferring the least significant bits
7:0 and then transferring the most significant bits 15:8, where
bit 15 is the most significant bit in the word.
In addition, left channel data is always transferred before right
channel data with the AD1846. The following figures should
make these requirements clear.

When using PIO data transfers, the Status Register must be
polled to determine when data should be transferred. Note that
the ADC capture data will be ready (CRDY HI) from the previous sample period shortly before the DAC playback data is
ready (PRDY HI) for the next sample period. The user should
not wait for both ADCs and DACs to become ready before initiating data transfers. Instead, as soon as capture data is ready, it
should be read; as soon as the DACs are ready, playback data
should he written.
Values written to the XCTL1:0 bits in the Pin Control Register
(IA3:0 = 10) will be reflected in the state of the XCTL1:0 external output pins. This feature allows a simple method for signaling or software control of external logic. Changes in state of the
external XCTL pins will occur within one sample period. Because their change is referenced to the internal sample clock, no
useful timing diagram can be constructed.

Direct Memory Access (DMA) Transfers
The second type of bus cycle supported by the AD1846 are
DMA transfers. Both dual channel and single channel DMA operations are supported. To enable Playback DMA transfers,
playback enable (PEN) must be set and PPIO cleared. To enable Capture DMA transfers, capture enable (CEN) must be set
and CPIO cleared. During DMA transfers, the AD1846 asserts
HI the Capture Data Request (CDRQ) or the Playback Data
Request (PDRQ) followed by the host’s asserting LO the DMA
Capture Data Acknowledge (CDAK) or Playback Data Acknowledge (PDAK), respectively. The host’s asserted Acknowledge signals cause the AD1846 to perform DMA transfers. The
input address lines, ADR1:0, are ignored. Data is transferred
between the proper internal sample registers.
The read strobe (RD) and write strobe (WR) delimit valid data
for DMA transfers. Chip select (CS) is a “don’t care”; its state
is ignored by the AD1846.
Single-Channel DMA mode allows the AD1846 to be used in
systems with only a single DMA channel. It is enabled by setting
the SDC bit in the Interface Configuration Register. All captures and playbacks take place on the playback channel. Obviously, the AD1846 cannot perform a simultaneous capture and
playback in Single-Channel DMA mode.
Playback will occur in single-channel DMA mode exactly as it
does in Two-Channel mode. Capture, however, is diverted to
the playback channel which means that the capture data request
occurs on the PDRQ pin and the capture data acknowledge
must be received on the PDAK pin. The CDRQ pin will remain
inactive LO. Any inputs to CDAK will be ignored.
Playback and capture are distinguished in Single-Channel DMA
mode by the state of the playback enable (PEN) or capture
enable (CEN) control bits. If both PEN and CEN are set in
Single-Channel DMA mode, playback will be presumed.
To avoid confusion of the origin of a request when switching between playback and capture in Single-Channel DMA mode,
both CEN and PEN should be disabled and all pending requests serviced before enabling the alternative enable bit.
Switching between playback and capture in Single-Channel
DMA mode does not require changing the PPIO and CPIO bits
or passing through the Mode Change Enable state except for
initial setup. For setup, assign zeros to both PPIO and CPIO.
This configures both playback and capture for DMA. Then,
switching between playback and capture can be effected entirely
by setting and clearing the PEN and CEN control bits, a technique which avoids having to enter the Mode Change Enable
state.
The AD1846 asserts the Data Request signals, CDRQ and
PDRQ, at the rate of once per sample period. PDRQ is asserted
near the beginning of an internal sample period and CDRQ is
asserted late in the same period to maximize the available processing time. Once asserted, these signals will remain active HI
until the corresponding DMA cycle occurs with the host’s Data
Acknowledge signals. The Data Request signals will be
deasserted after the falling edge of the final RD or WD strobe in
the transfer of a sample, which typically consists of multiple
bytes. See “Data Ordering” above for a definition of “sample.”

AD1846
The completion of autocalibration can be determined by polling
the Autocalibrate-In-Progress (ACI) bit in the Test and Initialization Register, which will be set during autocalibration. Transfers enabled during autocalibration do not begin until the
completion of autocalibration.
DMA Interrupt
Writing to the internal 16-bit Base Count Register sets up the
count value for the number of samples to he transferred. Note
that the number of bytes transferred for a given count will be a
function of the selected global data format. The internal Current Count Register is updated with the current contents of the
Upper and Lower Base Count Registers when a write occurs to
the Upper Base Count Register.
The following summarizes the procedure for autocalibration:
• Mute left and right AUX1 and AUX2 inputs, and digital mix.
(It is unnecessary to mute the DAC outputs, as this will happen automatically.)
The Current Count Register cannot be read by the host. Reading the Base Count Registers will only read back the initialization values written to them.
• Set the Mode Change Enable (MCE) bit.
• Set the Autocalibration (ACAL) bit.
The Current Count Register is decremented every sample period when either the PEN or CEN bit is enabled and also either
the Transfer Request Disable (TRD) bit or the Interrupt Status
(INT) bit is zero. An interrupt event is generated after the Current Count Register is zero and an additional playback sample is
transferred. The INT bit in the Status Register always reflects
the current internal interrupt state defined above. The external
INT pin will only go active HI if the Interrupt Enable (IEN) bit
in the Interface Configuration Register is set. If the IEN bit is
zero, the external INT pin will always stay LO, even though the
Status Register’s INT bit may be set.
• Clear the Mode Change Enable (MCE) bit.
• The Autocalibrate-In-Progress (ACI) bit will transition from
LO to HI within five sample periods. It will remain HI for
approximately 384 sample periods. Poll the ACI bit until it
transitions from HI to LO.
• Set to desired gain/attenuation values, and unmute DAC
outputs (if muted), AUX inputs, and digital mix.
During the autocalibration sequence, data output from the
ADCs is meaningless. Inputs to the DACs are ignored. Even if
the user specified the muting of all analog outputs, near the end
of the autocalibration sequence, analog outputs very close to
VREF will be produced at the line output.
POWER UP AND RESET
The PWRDWN pin should be held in its active LO state when
power is first applied to the AD1846. Analog Devices recommends waiting one full second after deasserting PWRDWN before commencing audio activity with the AD1846. This will
allow the analog outputs to fully settle to the VREF voltage level
prior to system autocalibration. At any point when powered, the
AD1846 can be put into a state for minimum power consumption by asserting PWRDWN LO. All analog and digital sections
are shut down. The AD1846’s parallel interface does not function; all bidirectional signal lines are in high impedance state.
CHANGING SAMPLE RATES
To change the selection of the current sample rate requires a
Mode Change Enable sequence since the bits which control that
selection are in the Clock and Data Format Register. The fact
that the clocks change requires a special sequence which is summarized as follows:
• If autocalibration will take place at the end of this sequence,
then mute AUX1 and AUX2 inputs and the digital mix.
Deasserting PWRDWN by bringing it HI begins the AD1846’s
initialization. While initializing, the AD1846 ignores all writes
and all reads will yield “1000 0000 (80h).” At the conclusion of
reset initialization, all registers will be set to their default values
as listed in “Control Registers” above. The conclusion of the
initialization period can be detected by polling the index register
for some value other than “1000 0000 (80h).”
• Set the Mode Change Enable (MCE) bit.
• In a single write cycle, change the Clock Frequency Divide
Select (CFS2:0) and/or the Clock Source Select (CSS).
• The AD1846 now needs to resynchronize its internal states to
the new clock. Writes to the AD1846 will be ignored. Reads
will produce “1000 0000 (80h)” until the resynchronization is
complete. Poll the Index Register until something other than
this value is returned.
It is imperative to autocalibrate on power up for proper operation. See next section.
• Clear the Mode Change Enable (MCE) bit.
AUTOCALIBRATION
The AD1846 can calibrate its ADCs and DACs to minimize dc
offsets. Autocalibration occurs whenever the AD1846 returns
from the Mode Change Enable state and the ACAL bit in the
Interface Configuration register has been set. If the ACAL bit is
not set, the RAM normally containing ADC and DAC offset
compensations will he saved, retaining the offsets of the most recent autocalibration. Therefore, it is imperative to autocalibrate
on power up for proper operation.
• If ACAL is set, follow the procedure described in
“Autocalibration” above.
• Poll the ACI bit until it transitions LO (approximately 128
sample cycles).
• Set to desired gain/attenuation values, and unmute DAC outputs (if muted).

AD1846
APPLICATIONS CIRCUITS
The AD1846 Stereo Codec has been designed to require a minimum of external circuitry. The recommended circuits are shown
in Figures 17 through 25. Analog Devices estimates that the total cost of all the components shown in these figures, including
crystals but not including connectors, to be less than $10 in the
U.S.A. in 10,000 quantities.
See Figure 1 for an illustration of the connection between the
AD1846 SoundPort Codec and the Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) computer bus, also known as the “PC-AT bus.”
Note that the 74_245 transceiver receives its enable and direction signals directly from the Codec. Analog Devices recommends using the “slowest” 74_245 adequately fast to meet all
AD1846 and computer bus timing and drive requirements. So
doing will minimize switching transients of the 74_245. This in
turn will minimize the digital feedthrough effects of the transceiver when driving the AD1846, which can cause the audio
noise floor to rise.
Industry-standard compact disc “line-levels” are 2 V rms centered around analog ground. (For other audio equipment, “line
level” is much more loosely defined.) The AD1846 SoundPort
is a +5 V only powered device. Line level voltage swings for the
AD1846 are defined to be 1 V rms for a sine wave ADC input
and 0.707 V rms for a sine wave DAC output. Thus, 2 V rms
input analog signals must be attenuated and either centered
around the reference voltage intermediate between 0 V and
+5 V or ac-coupled. The VREF pin will be at this intermediate
voltage, nominally 2.25 V. It has limited drive but can be used
as a voltage offset to an op amp input. Note, however, that
dc-coupled inputs are not recommended, as they provide no
performance benefits with the AD1846 architecture. Furthermore, dc offset differences between multiple dc-coupled inputs
create the potential for “clicks” when changing the input mux
selection.
Figure 18 illustrates one example of how an electret condenser
mike requiring phantom power could be connected to the
AD1846. VREF is shown buffered by an op amp; a transistor like
a 2N4124 will also work fine for this purpose.
Particular system requirements will depend upon the characteristics of the intended microphone.
Note that if a battery-powered microphone is used, the buffer
and R2s are not needed. The values of R1, R2s, and C should be
chosen in light of the mic characteristics and intended gain.
Typical values for these might be R1 = 20 kΩ, R2 = 2 kΩ, and
C = 220 pF.

to center the output signals around analog ground. If
dc-coupling is desired, VREF could be used with op amps as

A circuit for 2 V rms line-level inputs and auxiliaries is shown in
Figure 17. Note that this is a divide-by-two resistive divider.
The input resistor and 560 pF capacitor provides the single-pole
of anti-alias filtering required for the ADCs. If line-level inputs
are already at the 1 V rms levels expected by the AD1846, the
resistors in parallel with the 560 pF capacitors can be omitted.

Good, standard engineering practices should be applied for
power supply decoupling. Decoupling capacitors should be
place as close as possible to package pins. If a separate analog
power supply is not available, we recommend the circuit shown
in Figure 24 for using a single +5 V supply. This circuitry
should be as close to the supply pins as is practical.

can be of any type. Note that AD1846s will perform satisfactorily with 0.1 µF capacitors; however, low frequency performance
will be degraded.

The crystals shown in the crystal connection circuitry of Figure
23 should be fundamental-mode and parallel-tuned. Note that
using the exact data sheet frequencies is not required and that
external clock sources can be used to drive the crystal inputs.
(See the description of the CFS2:0 control bits above.) If using
an external clock source, apply it to the crystal input pins while
leaving the crystal output pins unconnected. Attention should
be paid to providing low jitter external input clocks.

Analog Devices recommends a split ground plane as shown in
Figure 25. The analog plane and the digital plane are connected
directly under the AD1846. Splitting the ground plane directly
under the SoundPort Codec is optimal because analog pins will
be located above the analog ground plane and digital pins will
be located directly above the digital ground plane for the best
isolation. The digital ground and analog grounds should be tied
together in the vicinity of the AD1846. Other schemes may also
yield satisfactory results. If the split ground plane recommended
here is not possible, the AD1846 should be entirely over the
analog ground plane with the 74_245 transceiver over the digital
plane.
