DESCRIPTION
The PCM3501 integrates all of the functions needed for
a modem or voice CODEC, including delta-sigma
digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital converters, input anti-aliasing filter, digital high-pass filter for DC
blocking, and an output low-pass filter. The synchronous serial interface provides for a simple, or glue-free
interface to popular DSP and RISC processors. The
serial interface also supports Time Division Multiplexing (TDM), allowing up to four CODECs to share a
single 4-wire serial bus.

SYSTEM CLOCK INPUT AND OUTPUT
The PCM3501 requires a system clock for operating the
digital filters and delta-sigma data converters.
TABLE I. System Clock Frequencies for Common Sampling Frequencies.
The system clock may be supplied from an external master
clock or generated using the on-chip crystal oscillator circuit. Figure 1 shows the required connections for external
and crystal clock operation. The system clock must operate
at 512 times the sampling frequency, fS, with sampling
frequencies from 7.2kHz to 26kHz. This gives an effective
system clock frequency range of 3.6864MHz to 13.312MHz.
For either case, XTO (pin 16) should be left open. The system
clock source should be free of noise and exhibit low phase
jitter in order to obtain optimal dynamic performance from
the PCM3501. Figure 2 shows the system clock timing
requirements associated with an external master clock.
Table I shows system clock frequencies for common sampling frequencies.
For crystal oscillator operation, a crystal is connected between XTI (pin 17) and XTO (pin 16), along with the
necessary load capacitors (10pF to 33pF per pin, as shown
in Figure 1). A fundamental-mode, parallel resonant crystal
is required.
For external clock operation, XTI (pin 17) or SCKIO (pin 15)
is driven by a master clock source. If SCKIO is used as the
system clock input, then XTI must be connected to ground.

PDWN causes the reset initialization sequence to start.
During the initialization sequence, the DAC output is forced
to AGND, and the ADC output is forced to a high impedance
state. After the initialization sequence has completed, the
DAC and ADC outputs experience a delay before they
output a valid signal or data. Refer to Figures 4 and 5 for
external reset and post-reset delay timing.
Reset and Power Down
The PCM3501 supports power-on reset, external reset, and
power-down operations. Power-on reset is performed by
internal circuitry automatically at power up, while the external reset is initiated using the PDWN input (pin 20).
Power-on reset occurs when power and system clock are
initially applied to the PCM3501. The internal reset circuitry requires that the system clock be active at power up,
with at least three system clock cycles occurring prior to
VDD = 2.2V. When VDD exceeds 2.2V, the power-on reset
comparator enables the initialization sequence, which requires 1024 system clock periods for completion. During
the initialization sequence, the DAC output is forced to
AGND, and the ADC output is forced to a high impedance
state. After the initialization sequence has completed, the
DAC and ADC outputs experience a delay before they
output a valid signal or data. Refer to Figures 3 and 5 for
power-on reset and post-reset delay timing.
External reset is performed by first setting PDWN = ‘0’ and
then setting PDWN = ‘1’. The LOW to HIGH transition on
VDD
Power-down mode is enabled by setting PDWN = ‘0’.
During power-down mode, minimum current is drawn when
the system clock is removed, resulting in 60µA (typical)
power supply current. The PDWN input includes an internal
pull-down resistor, which places the PCM3501 in powerdown mode at power-up if the PDWN pin is left unconnected. Ideally, the PDWN input should be driven by active
logic in order to control reset and power-down operation. If
the PDWN pin is to be unused in the system application, it
should be connected to VDD to enable normal operation. By
setting PDWN = ‘1’ when exiting power-down mode, the
PCM3501 will initiate an external reset as described earlier
in this section.

anteed in Master Mode). Data for DIN is clocked into the
serial interface on the rising edge of BCK, while data for
DOUT is clocked out of the serial interface on the falling
edge of BCK.
The serial interface of the PCM3501 is a 4-wire synchronous
serial port. It includes FS (pin 9), BCK (pin 8), DIN (pin 10)
and DOUT (pin 11). FS is the frame synchronization clock,
BCK is the serial bit or shift clock, DIN is the serial data input
for the DAC, and DOUT is the serial data output for the ADC.
Figure 6 shows the serial interface format for the PCM3501.
The serial data for DIN and DOUT must be in Binary Two’s
Complement, MSB-first format. Figures 7 and 8 show the
timing specifications for the serial interface when used in
Slave and Master Modes.
The frame sync, FS, operates at the sampling frequency (fS).
The bit clock, BCK, operates at 16fS for normal operation.
DIN and DOUT also operate at the bit clock rate. Both FS
and BCK must be synchronous with the system clock (guar-

MASTER/SLAVE OPERATION
Slave Mode Operation
The serial interface supports both Slave and Master Mode
operation. The mode is selected by the M/S input (pin 6).
Table II shows mode and pin settings corresponding to the
M/S input selection. Figure 9 shows connections for Slave
and Master mode operation.
In Slave Mode, the FS and BCK pins are inputs to the
PCM3501. Both FS and BCK should be derived from the
system clock signal (XTI or SCKIO) to ensure proper
synchronization. Slave Mode is best suited for applications
where the DSP or controller is capable of generating the FS,
BCK, and system clocks using an on-chip serial port and/or
timing generator.

Master Mode Operation
In Master Mode operation, both FS and BCK are clock
outputs generated by the PCM3501 from the system clock
input (XTI, SCKIO, or a crystal). In Master Mode, the timing
and phase relationships between system clock, FS, and BCK
are managed internally to provide optimal synchronization.

interface bus. This is useful for system applications that
require multiple modem or voice channels. Figure 11 shows
examples of Time Slot Mode connections.
SYNCHRONIZATION REQUIREMENTS
The PCM3501 requires that FS and BCK be synchronous
with the system clock. Internal circuitry is included to detect
a loss of synchronization between FS and the system clock
input. If the phase relationship between FS and the system
clock varies more than ± 1.5 BCK periods, the PCM3501
will detect a loss of synchronization. Upon detection, the
DAC output is forced to 0.5VCC and the DOUT pin is forced
to a high impedance state. This occurs within one sampling
clock (FS) period of initial detection. Figure 10 shows the
loss of synchronization operation and the DAC and ADC
output delays associated with it.
Time Slot Mode defines a 64-bit long frame, composed of
four time slots. Each slot is 16 bits long and corresponds to
one of four CODECs. The FS pin on the first PCM3501
(CODEC A, Slot 0) is used as the master frame sync, and
operates at the sampling frequency, fS. The bit clock, BCK,
operates at 64fS. DIN and DOUT of each CODEC also
operate at 64fS. Figure 12 shows the operation of the Time
Slot Mode.
Time Slot operation is enabled or disabled using the TSC
input (pin 7). The state of the TSC pin is updated at poweron reset, or on the rising edge of PWDN input (if using
external reset or power-down mode). A forced reset is
required when changing from Slave to Master Mode, or visa
versa, in real time.
TIME SLOT OPERATION
The PCM3501 serial interface supports Time Division
Multiplexing (TDM) using the Time Slot Mode. Up to four

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
unbuffered on pin 1 for decoupling. A 1µF to 10µF aluminum electrolytic or tantalum capacitor is recommended for
decoupling purposes. This capacitor should be located as
close as possible to pin 1.
BASIC CIRCUIT CONNECTIONS
The basic connection diagram for the PCM3501 is shown in
Figure 16. Included are the required power supply bypass and
reference decoupling capacitors. The DAC output, VOUT, and
the ADC input, VIN, should be AC-coupled to external circuitry.
The VCOM voltage is typically equal to VCC/2, and may be
used to bias external input and output circuitry. However,
since the VCOM pin is not a buffered output, it must drive a
high impedance load to avoid excessive loading. Buffering
the VCOM pin with an external op amp configured as a
voltage follower is recommended when driving multiple bias
nodes. Figure 17 shows an example of using VCOM with
external circuitry.
Reference Pin Connections
The VCOM voltage is used internally to bias the input and
output amplifier stages of the PCM3501. It is brought out

directly to the analog ground plane. The power supply pins,
VCC (pin 13) and VDD (pin 24), are routed directly to the
+2.7V to +3.6V analog power supply using wide copper
traces (100 mils or wider recommended) or a power plane.
Power supply bypass and reference decoupling capacitors
are shown located as close as possible to the PCM3501.
Power Supplies and Grounding
VCC (pin 24) and VDD (pin 13) should be connected directly
to the +2.7V to +3.6V analog power supply, as shown in
Figure 16. The AGNDs (pins 5, 21, and 23) and DGND (pin
14) should be connected directly to the analog ground.
Power supply bypass capacitors should be located as close
to the power supply pins as possible in order to ensure a low
impedance connection. A combination of a 10µF aluminum
electrolytic or tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1µF
ceramic capacitor is recommended for both VCC and VDD.
The PCM3501 is oriented so that the digital pins are facing
the ground plane split. Digital connections should be made
as short and direct as possible to limit high frequency
radiation and coupling. Series resistors (from 20Ω to 100Ω)
may be put in series with the system clock, FS, BCK, and
FSO lines to reduce or eliminate overshoot on clock edges,
further reducing radiated emissions. The split ground plane
should be connected at one point by a trace, wire, or ferrite
bead. Often the board will be designed to have several
jumper points for the common ground connection, so that
the best performance can be derived through experimentation.
VDD and VCC should not be connected to separate digital and
analog power supplies. This can lead to an SCR latch-up
condition, which can cause either degraded device performance or catastrophic failures.
An alternative technique, using a single power supply or
battery, is shown in Figure 19. This technique is more
suitable for portable applications.

PCM3501
OUTPUT FILTER CIRCUITS FOR THE DAC
noise requirements for a particular system. Generally, a 2ndorder or better low-pass circuit will be required, with the
cut-off frequency set to fS/2 or less.
The PCM3501’s DAC uses delta-sigma conversion techniques. It uses oversampling and noise shaping to improve
in-band (f = fS/2) signal-to-noise performance at the expense
of increased out-of-band noise. The DAC output must be
low-pass filtered to attenuate the out-of-band noise to a
reasonable level.
Burr-Brown Application Bulletin AB-034 provides information for designing both Multiple Feedback and SallenKey active filter circuits using software available from BurrBrown’s web site. Another excellent reference for both
passive and active filter design is the “Electronic Filter
Design Handbook, Third Edition” by Williams and Taylor,
published by McGraw-Hill.
The PCM3501 includes a low-pass filter in the on-chip
output amplifier circuit. The frequency response for this
filter is shown in Figure 20. Although this filter helps to
lower the out-of-band noise, it is not adequate for many
applications. This is especially true for applications where
the sampling frequency is below 16kHz, since the out-ofband noise above fS/2 is in the audio spectrum. An external
filter circuit, either passive or active, is required to provide
additional attenuation of the out-of-band noise. The lowpass filter order will be dependent upon the out-of-band
ON-CHIP ANALOG FRONT END FOR THE ADC
The PCM3501 A/D converter includes a fully differential
input delta-sigma modulator. In order to simplify external
circuitry, an analog front end (AFE) circuit has been included on the PCM3501 just prior to the modulator. The
AFE circuit is shown in Figure 21.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The AFE circuit consists of a buffer/filter for each input of
the converter. The frequency response for the filter is shown
in Figure 22. Since the delta-sigma modulator oversamples
the input at 64fS, the anti-alias filter requirements are relaxed, with only a single-pole filter being required. If an
application requires further band limiting of the input signal,
a simple RC filter at the inputs can be used, as shown in
Figure 23.
ADC SECTION
The PCM3501 A/D converter consists of two reference
circuits, differential input buffer, a fully differential 5thorder delta-sigma modulator, a decimation filter (including
digital high pass), and a serial interface circuit. The block
diagram on the front page of this data sheet illustrates the
architecture of the ADC section, Figure 21 shows the input
buffers, and Figure 24 illustrates the architecture of the 5thorder delta-sigma modulator and transfer functions.
An internal reference circuit with three external capacitors
provides all reference voltages which are required by the
ADC, which defines the full-scale range for the converter.
The internal input buffers save the design, space and extra
parts needed for external circuitry required by many deltasigma converters. The internal full-differential signal processing architecture provides a wide dynamic range and
excellent power supply rejection performance. The input
signal is sampled at a 64x oversampling rate, eliminating
the need for a sample-and-hold circuit, and simplifying antialias filtering requirements. The 5th-order delta-sigma noise

PCM3501
shaper consists of five integrators which use a switchedcapacitor topology, a comparator, and a feedback loop consisting of a one-bit DAC. The delta-sigma modulator shapes
the quantization noise, shifting it out of the audio band in the
frequency domain. The high order of the modulator enables
it to randomize the modulator outputs, reducing idle tone
levels.
DAC SECTION
The delta-sigma DAC section of PCM3501 is based on a 5level amplitude quantizer and a 3rd-order noise shaper. This
section converts the oversampled input data to 5-level deltasigma format. A block diagram of the 5-level delta-sigma
modulator is shown in Figure 25. This 5-level delta-sigma
modulator has the advantage of stability and clock jitter
sensitivity over the typical one-bit (2 level) delta-sigma
modulator. The combined oversampling rate of the deltasigma modulator and the internal 8x interpolation filter is
64fS for a 512fS system clock.
The 64fS one-bit data stream from the modulator is converted to 1fS, 16-bit data words by the decimation filter,
which also acts as a low-pass filter to remove the shaped
quantization noise. The DC components can be removed by
a high-pass filter function contained within the decimation
filter.
