GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CS43L21 is a highly integrated, 24-bit, 96 kHz, low
power stereo DAC. Based on multi-bit, delta-sigma
modulation, it allows infinite sample rate adjustment between 4 kHz and 96 kHz. The DAC offers many features
suitable for low power, portable system applications.
The DAC output path includes a digital signal processing engine. Tone Control provides bass and treble
adjustment of four selectable corner frequencies. The
Mixer allows independent volume control for PCM mix,
as well as a master digital volume control for the analog
output. All volume level changes may be configured to
occur on soft ramp and zero cross transitions. The DAC
also includes de-emphasis, limiting functions and a
beep generator delivering tones selectable across a
range of two full octaves.
The stereo headphone amplifier is powered from a separate positive supply and the integrated charge pump
provides a negative supply. This allows a ground-centered analog output with a wide signal swing and
eliminates external DC-blocking capacitors.
In addition to its many features, the CS43L21 operates
from a low-voltage analog and digital core, making this
DAC ideal for portable systems that require extremely
low power consumption in a minimal amount of space.
The CS43L21 is available in a 32-pin QFN package in
both Commercial (-10 to +70° C) and Automotive
grades (-40 to +85° C). The CS43L21 Customer Demonstration board is also available for device evaluation
and implementation suggestions. Please see “Ordering
Information” on page 63 for complete details.

4. One-half LSB of triangular PDF dither is added to data.
5. Full-scale output voltage and power is determined by the gain setting, G, in register “Headphone Analog
Gain (HP_GAIN[2:0])” on page 41. High gain settings at certain VA and VA_HP supply levels may
cause clipping when the audio signal approaches full-scale, maximum power output, as shown in
Figures 21 - 24 on page 55.
6. See Figure 3. RL and CL reflect the recommended minimum resistance and maximum capacitance required for the internal op-amp's stability and signal integrity. In this circuit topology, CL will effectively
move the band-limiting pole of the amp in the output stage. Increasing this value beyond the recommended 150 pF can cause the internal op-amp to become unstable.
7. VA_HP settings lower than VA reduces the headroom of the headphone amplifier. As a result, the DAC
may not achieve the full THD+N performance at full-scale output voltage and power.

4. APPLICATIONS
4.1
4.1.1
Overview
Architecture
The CS43L21 is a highly integrated, low power, 24-bit audio D/A comprised of stereo digital-to-analog
converters (DAC) designed using multi-bit delta-sigma techniques. The DAC operates at an oversampling
ratio of 128Fs. The D/A operates in one of four sample rate speed modes: Quarter, Half, Single and Double. It accepts and is capable of generating serial port clocks (SCLK, LRCK) derived from an input Master
Clock (MCLK).
4.1.2
Line & Headphone Outputs
The analog output portion of the D/A includes a headphone amplifier capable of driving headphone and
line-level loads. An on-chip charge pump creates a negative headphone supply allowing a full-scale output swing centered around ground. This eliminates the need for large DC-Blocking capacitors and allows
the amplifier to deliver more power to headphone loads at lower supply voltages. Eight gain settings for
the headphone amplifier are available.
4.1.3
Signal Processing Engine
A signal processing engine is available to process serial input D/A data before output to the DAC. The
D/A data has independent volume controls and mixing functions such as mono mixes and left/right channel swaps. A Tone Control provides bass and treble at four selectable corner frequencies. An automatic
level control provides limiting capabilities at programmable attack and release rates, maximum thresholds
and soft ramping. A 15/50 µs de-emphasis filter is also available at a 44.1 kHz sample rate.
4.1.4
Beep Generator
A beep may be generated internally at select frequencies across approximately two octave major scales
and configured to occur continuously, periodically or at single time intervals controlled by the user. Volume
may be controlled independently.
4.1.5
Device Control (Hardware or Software Mode)
In Software Mode, all functions and features may be controlled via a two-wire I²C or three-wire SPI control
port interface. In Hardware Mode, a limited feature set may be controlled via stand-alone control pins.
4.1.6
Power Management
Two Software Mode control registers provide independent power-down control of the DAC, allowing operation in select applications with minimal power consumption.
22
DS723A1
CS43L21
4.2
Hardware Mode
A limited feature-set is available when the D/A powers up in Hardware Mode (see “Recommended PowerUp Sequence” section on page 31) and may be controlled via stand-alone control pins. Table 2 shows a list
of functions/features, the default configuration and the associated stand-alone control available.

De-Emphasis Filter
The CODEC includes on-chip digital de-emphasis optimized for a sample rate of 44.1 kHz. The filter response is shown in Figure 9. The de-emphasis feature is included to accommodate audio recordings that
utilize 50/15 µs pre-emphasis equalization as a means of noise reduction. De-emphasis is only available
in Single-Speed Mode.

Volume Controls
Two digital volume control functions offer independent control of the SDIN signal path into the mixer as
well as a combined control of the mixed signals. The volume controls are programmable to ramp in increments of 0.125 dB at a rate controlled by the soft ramp/zero cross settings.
The signal paths may also be muted via mute control bits. When enabled, each bit attenuates the signal
to its maximum value. When the mute bit is disabled, the signal returns to the attenuation level set in the
respective volume control register. The attenuation is ramped up and down at the rate specified by the
DAC_SZC[1:0] bits.

Beep Generator
The Beep Generator generates audio frequencies across approximately two octave major scales. It offers
three modes of operation: Continuous, multiple and single (one-shot) beeps. Sixteen on and eight off
times are available.
Note: The Beep is generated before the limiter and may affect desired limiting performance. If the limiter
function is used, it may be required to set the Beep volume sufficiently below the threshold to prevent the
peak detect from triggering. Since the master volume control, AOUTx_VOL[7:0], will affect the Beep volume, DAC volume may alternatively be controlled using the PCMMIXx_VOL[6:0] bits.

Controls:
4.3.6
“Tone Control (Address 15h)” on page 48.
Limiter
When enabled, the limiter monitors the digital input signal before the DAC modulator, detects when levels
exceed the maximum threshold settings and lowers the AOUT volume at a programmable attack rate below the maximum threshold. When the input signal level falls below the maximum threshold, the AOUT
volume returns to its original level set in the Volume Control register at a programmable release rate. Attack and release rates are affected by the DAC soft ramp/zero cross settings and sample rate, Fs. Limiter
soft ramp and zero cross dependency may be independently enabled/disabled.
Recommended settings: Best limiting performance may be realized with the fastest attack and slowest
release setting with soft ramp enabled in the control registers. The “cushion” bits allow the user to set a
threshold slightly below the maximum threshold for hysteresis control - this cushions the sound as the limiter attacks and releases.
Note:
1. When the Limiter is enabled, the AOUT Volume is automatically controlled and should not be adjusted
manually. Alternative volume control may be realized using the PCMMIXx_VOL[6:0] bits.
2. The Limiter maintains the output signal between the CUSH and MAX thresholds. As the digital input
signal level changes, the level-controlled output may not always be the same but will always fall within
the thresholds.

Line-Level Outputs and Filtering
The CODEC contains on-chip buffer amplifiers capable of producing line level single-ended outputs on
AOUTA and AOUTB. These amplifiers are ground centered and do not have any DC offset. A load stabilizer circuit, shown in the “Typical Connection Diagram (Software Mode)” on page 9 and the “Typical Connection Diagram (Hardware Mode)” on page 10, is required on the analog outputs. This allows the DAC
amplifiers to drive line or headphone outputs.
Also shown in the Typical Connection diagrams is the recommended passive output filter to support higher impedances such as those found on the inputs to operational amplifiers. “Rext”, shown in the typical
connection diagrams, is the input impedance of the receiving device.
The invert and digital gain controls may be used to provide phase and/or amplitude compensation for an
external filter.
The delta-sigma conversion process produces high frequency noise beyond the audio passband, most of
which is removed by the on-chip analog filters. The remaining out-of-band noise can be attenuated using
an off-chip low pass filter.

On-Chip Charge Pump
An on-chip charge pump derives a negative supply voltage from the VA_HP supply. This provides dual
rail supplies allowing a full-scale output swing centered around ground and eliminates the need for large,
DC-blocking capacitors. Added benefits include greater pop suppression and improved low frequency
(bass) response. Note: Series resistance in the path of the power supplies must be avoided. Any voltage
drop on the VA_HP supply will directly impact the derived negative voltage on the charge pump supply,
VSS_HP, and may result in clipping.
The FLYN and FLYP pins connect to internal switches that charges and discharges the external capacitor
attached, at a default switching frequency. This frequency may be adjusted in the control port registers.
Increasing the charge-pumping capacitor will slightly decease the pumping frequency. The capacitor connected to VSS_HP acts as a charge reservoir for the negative supply as well as a filter for the ripple induced by the charge pump. Increasing this capacitor will decrease the ripple on VSS_HP. Refer to the
typical connection diagrams in Figure 1 on page 9 or Figure 2 on page 10 for the recommended capacitor
values for the charge pump circuitry.

Serial Port Clocking
The D/A serial audio interface port operates either as a slave or master. It accepts externally generated
clocks in slave mode and will generate synchronous clocks derived from an input master clock (MCLK) in
master mode.
The frequency of the MCLK must be an integer multiple of, and synchronous with, the system sample rate,
Fs. The LRCK frequency is equal to Fs, the frequency at which audio samples for each channel are clocked
into or out of the device.
The SPEED and MCLKDIV2 software control bits or the M/S and MCLKDIV2 stand-alone control pins, configure the device to generate the proper clocks in Master Mode and receive the proper clocks in Slave Mode.
The value on the M/S pin is latched immediately after powering up in Hardware Mode.

The serial port may be placed on a clock/data bus that allows multiple masters for the SCLK/LRCK I/O

Quarter- and Half-Speed Mode
Quarter-Speed Mode (QSM) and Half-Speed Mode (HSM) allow lower sample rates while maintaining a
relatively flat noise floor in the typical audio band of 20 Hz - 20 kHz. Single-Speed Mode (SSM) will allow
lower frequency sample rates; however, the DAC's noise floor, that normally rises out-of-band, will scale
with the lower sample rate and begin to rise within the audio band. QSM and HSM corrects for most of
this scaling, effectively increasing the dynamic range of the CODEC at lower sample rates, relative to
SSM.

Digital Interface Formats
The serial port operates in standard I²S, Left-Justified or Right-Justifieddigital interface formats with varying
bit depths from 16 to 24. Data is clocked into the DAC on the rising edge of SCLK. Figures 14-17 illustrate
the general structure of each format. Refer to “Switching Specifications - Serial Port” on page 16 for exact

Initialization
The initialization and Power-Down sequence flowchart is shown in Figure 17 on page 32. The CODEC enters a Power-Down state upon initial power-up. The interpolation and decimation filters, delta-sigma modulators and control port registers are reset. The internal voltage reference, multi-bit DAC and switchedcapacitor low-pass filters are powered down.
The device will remain in the Power-Down state until the RESET pin is brought high. The control port is accessible once RESET is high and the desired register settings can be loaded per the interface descriptions
in “Software Mode” on page 33. If a valid write sequence to the control port is not made within approximately
10 ms, the will enter Hardware Mode.
Once MCLK is valid, the quiescent voltage, VQ, and the internal voltage references, FILT+ will begin powering up to normal operation. The charge pump slowly powers up and charges the capacitors. Power is then
applied to the headphone amplifiers and switched-capacitor filters, and the analog/digital outputs enter a muted state. Once LRCK is valid, MCLK occurrences are counted over one LRCK period to determine the
MCLK/LRCK frequency ratio and normal operation begins.
4.7
Recommended Power-Up Sequence
1. Hold RESET low until the power supplies are stable.
2. Bring RESET high. After approximately 10 ms, the device will enter Hardware Mode.
3. For Software Mode operation, set the PDN bit to ‘1’b in under 10 ms. This will place the device in “standby”.
4. Load the desired register settings while keeping the PDN bit set to ‘1’b.
5. Start MCLK to the appropriate frequency, as discussed in Section 4.4.
6. Set the PDN bit to ‘0’b.
7. Apply LRCKSCLK and SDIN for normal operation to begin.
8. Bring RESET low if the analog or digital supplies drop below the recommended operating condition to
prevent power glitch related issues.

Recommended Power-Down Sequence
To minimize audible pops when turning off or placing the D/A in standby,

2. Set the PDN bit in the power control register to ‘1’b. The D/A will not power down until it reaches a fully
muted sate. Do not remove MCLK until after the part has fully muted. Note that it may be necessary to
disable the soft ramp and/or zero cross volume transitions to achieve faster muting/power down.

Software Mode
The control port is used to access the registers allowing the D/A to be configured for the desired operational
modes and formats. The operation of the control port may be completely asynchronous with respect to the
audio sample rates. However, to avoid potential interference problems, the control port pins should remain
static if no operation is required.
The control port operates in two modes: SPI and I²C, with the D/A acting as a slave device. Software Mode
is selected if there is a high-to-low transition on the AD0/CS pin after the RESET pin has been brought high.
I²C Mode is selected by connecting the AD0/CS pin through a resistor to VL or DGND, thereby permanently
selecting the desired AD0 bit address state.
4.9.1
SPI Control
In Software Mode, CS is the CS43L21 chip-select signal, CCLK is the control port bit clock (input into the
from the microcontroller), CDIN is the input data line from the microcontroller. Data is clocked in on the
rising edge of CCLK. The D/A will only support write operations. Read request will be ignored.
Figure 18 shows the operation of the control port in Software Mode. To write to a register, bring CS low.
The first seven bits on CDIN form the chip address and must be 1001010. The eighth bit is a read/write
indicator (R/W), which should be low to write. The next eight bits form the Memory Address Pointer (MAP),
which is set to the address of the register that is to be updated. The next eight bits are the data which will
be placed into the register designated by the MAP.
There is MAP auto-increment capability, enabled by the INCR bit in the MAP register. If INCR is a zero,
the MAP will stay constant for successive read or writes. If INCR is set to a 1, the MAP will auto-increment
after each byte is read or written, allowing block reads or writes of successive registers.

I²C Control
In I²C Mode, SDA is a bidirectional data line. Data is clocked into and out of the part by the clock, SCL.
There is no CS pin. Pin AD0 forms the least significant bit of the chip address and should be connected
through a resistor to VL or DGND as desired. The state of the pin is sensed while the CS43L21 is being
reset.
The signal timings for a read and write cycle are shown in Figure 19 and Figure 20. A Start condition is
defined as a falling transition of SDA while the clock is high. A Stop condition is a rising transition while
the clock is high. All other transitions of SDA occur while the clock is low. The first byte sent to the
CS43L21 after a Start condition consists of a 7-bit chip address field and a R/W bit (high for a read, low
for a write). The upper 6 bits of the 7-bit address field are fixed at 100101. To communicate with a
CS43L21, the chip address field, which is the first byte sent to the CS43L21, should match 100101 followed
by the setting of the AD0 pin. The eighth bit of the address is the R/W bit. If the operation is a write, the
next byte is the Memory Address Pointer (MAP) which selects the register to be read or written. If the operation is a read, the contents of the register pointed to by the MAP will be output. Setting the auto-incre-

ment bit in MAP allows successive reads or writes of consecutive registers. Each byte is separated by an
acknowledge bit. The ACK bit is output from the CS43L21 after each input byte is read and is input to the
CS43L21 from the microcontroller after each transmitted byte.

Notes:
1. To activate the power-down sequence for individual channels (A or B,) both channels must first be powered down either by enabling the PDN bit or by enabling the power-down bits for both channels. Enabling the power-down bit on an individual channel basis after the D/A has fully powered up will mute
the selected channel without achieving any power savings.
2. Reserved bits 1 - 4 should always be set “high” by the user to minimize power consumption during normal operation.
Recommended channel power-down sequence: 1.) Enable the PDN bit, 2.) enable power-down for the select channels, 3.) disable the PDN bit.
Power Down DAC X (PDN_DACX)
Default: 0
0 - Disable
1 - Enable
Function:
DAC channel x will either enter a power-down or muted state when this bit is enabled. See Note 1 above.

Auto-Detect Speed Mode (AUTO)
Default: 1
0 - Disable
1 - Enable
Function:
Enables the auto-detect circuitry for detecting the speed mode of the D/A when operating as a slave. When
AUTO is enabled, the MCLK/LRCK ratio must be implemented according to Table 3 on page 29. The
SPEED[1:0] bits are ignored when this bit is enabled. Speed is determined by the MCLK/LRCK ratio.
Speed Mode (SPEED[1:0])
Default: 01
11 - Quarter-Speed Mode (QSM) - 4 to 12.5 kHz sample rates
10 - Half-Speed Mode (HSM) - 12.5 to 25 kHz sample rates
01 - Single-Speed Mode (SSM) - 4 to 50 kHz sample rates
00 - Double-Speed Mode (DSM) - 50 to 100 kHz sample rates
Function:
Sets the appropriate speed mode for the D/A in Master or Slave Mode. QSM is optimized for 8 kHz sample
rate and HSM is optimized for 16 kHz sample rate. These bits are ignored when the AUTO bit is enabled
(see Auto-Detect Speed Mode (AUTO) above).
Tri-State Serial Port Interface (3ST_SP)
Default: 0
0 - Disable
1 - Enable
Function:
When enabled and the device is configured as a master, the SCLK/LRCK signals are placed in a high-impedance output state. If the serial port is configured as a slave, SCLK/LRCK are configured as inputs.

Note: The DATA_SEL[1:0] bits in reg09h must be set to ‘01’b to enable function control
Immediate Change
When Immediate Change is selected all volume-level changes will take effect immediately in one step.
Zero Cross
This setting dictates that signal-level changes, either by gain changes, attenuation changes or muting, will
occur on a signal zero crossing to minimize audible artifacts. The requested level change will occur after a
timeout period between 1024 and 2048 sample periods (21.3 ms to 42.7 ms at 48 kHz sample rate) if the
signal does not encounter a zero crossing. The zero cross function is independently monitored and implemented for each channel. Note: The LIM_SRDIS bit is ignored.
DS723A1
43
CS43L21
Soft Ramp
Soft Ramp allows level changes, either by gain changes, attenuation changes or muting, to be implemented
by incrementally ramping, in 1/8 dB steps, from the current level to the new level at a rate of 0.5 dB per 4
left/right clock periods.
Soft Ramp on Zero Crossing
This setting dictates that signal-level changes, either by gain changes, attenuation changes or muting, will
occur in 1/8 dB steps and be implemented on a signal zero crossing. The 1/8 dB level change will occur
after a timeout period between 512 and 1024 sample periods (10.7 ms to 21.3 ms at 48 kHz sample rate) if
the signal does not encounter a zero crossing. The zero cross function is independently monitored and implemented for each channel. Note: The LIM_SRDIS bit is ignored.

9. PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
9.1
Power Supply, Grounding
As with any high-resolution converter, the CS43L21 requires careful attention to power supply and grounding arrangements if its potential performance is to be realized. Figure 1 on page 9 shows the recommended
power arrangements, with VA and VA_HP connected to clean supplies. VD, which powers the digital circuitry, may be run from the system logic supply. Alternatively, VD may be powered from the analog supply via
a ferrite bead. In this case, no additional devices should be powered from VD.
Extensive use of power and ground planes, ground plane fill in unused areas and surface mount decoupling
capacitors are recommended. Decoupling capacitors should be as close to the pins of the CS43L21 as possible. The low value ceramic capacitor should be closest to the pin and should be mounted on the same
side of the board as the CS43L21 to minimize inductance effects. All signals, especially clocks, should be
kept away from the FILT+ and VQ pins in order to avoid unwanted coupling into the modulators. The FILT+
and VQ decoupling capacitors, particularly the 0.1 µF, must be positioned to minimize the electrical path
from FILT+ and AGND. The CS43L21 evaluation board demonstrates the optimum layout and power supply
arrangements.
9.2
QFN Thermal Pad
The CS43L21 is available in a compact QFN package. The under side of the QFN package reveals a large
metal pad that serves as a thermal relief to provide for maximum heat dissipation. This pad must mate with
an equally dimensioned copper pad on the PCB and must be electrically connected to ground. A series of
vias should be used to connect this copper pad to one or more larger ground planes on other PCB layers.
In split ground systems, it is recommended that this thermal pad be connected to AGND for best performance. The CS43L21 evaluation board demonstrates the optimum thermal pad and via configuration.

11.PARAMETER DEFINITIONS
Dynamic Range
The ratio of the rms value of the signal to the rms sum of all other spectral components over the specified
bandwidth. Dynamic Range is a signal-to-noise ratio measurement over the specified band width made with
a -60 dBFS signal. 60 dB is added to resulting measurement to refer the measurement to full-scale. This
technique ensures that the distortion components are below the noise level and do not affect the measurement. This measurement technique has been accepted by the Audio Engineering Society, AES17-1991,
and the Electronic Industries Association of Japan, EIAJ CP-307. Expressed in decibels.
Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise
The ratio of the rms value of the signal to the rms sum of all other spectral components over the specified
band width (typically 10 Hz to 20 kHz), including distortion components. Expressed in decibels. Measured
at -1 and -20 dBFS as suggested in AES17-1991 Annex A.
Frequency Response
A measure of the amplitude response variation from 10 Hz to 20 kHz relative to the amplitude response at
1 kHz. Units in decibels.
Interchannel Isolation
A measure of crosstalk between the left and right channel pairs. Measured for each channel at the converter's output with no signal to the input under test and a full-scale signal applied to the other channel. Units in
decibels.
Interchannel Gain Mismatch
The gain difference between left and right channel pairs. Units in decibels.
Gain Error
The deviation from the nominal full-scale analog output for a full-scale digital input.
Gain Drift
The change in gain value with temperature. Units in ppm/°C.
Offset Error
The deviation of the mid-scale transition (111...111 to 000...000) from the ideal. Units in mV.
