PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The AD1893 SamplePort is a fully digital, stereo Asynchronous
Sample Rate Converter (ASRC) that solves sample rate interfacing
and compatibility problems in digital audio equipment. Conceptually, this converter interpolates the input data up to a very high
internal sample rate with a time resolution of 300 ps, then decimates down to the desired output sample rate. The AD1893 is
intended for 16-bit low cost, non-varispeed applications where low
voltage, low power (i.e., battery-powered) operation is required.
Refer to the AD1890/AD1891 data sheet for other products in the
SamplePort family. This device is asynchronous because the frequency and phase relationships between the input and output
sample clocks (both are inputs to the AD1893 ASRC) are arbitrary
and need not be related by a simple integer ratio. There is no need
to explicitly select or program the input and output sample clock
frequencies, as the AD1893 automatically senses the relationship
between the two clocks. The input and output sample clock frequencies can nominally range from 8 kHz to 56 kHz, and the ratio
between them can vary from approximately 1:2 to 2:1.

OUTPUT SERIAL DATA
The AD1893 uses multirate digital signal processing techniques
to construct an output sample stream from the input sample
stream. The input word width is 4 to 16 bits for the AD1893.
Shorter input words are automatically zero-filled in the LSBs.
The output word width is 24 bits. The user can receive as many
of the output bits as desired. Internal arithmetic is performed
with 22-bit coefficients and 27-bit accumulation. The digital
samples are processed with unity gain.
The input and output control signals allow for considerable
flexibility for interfacing to a variety of DSP chips, AES/EBU
receivers and transmitters and for I2S compatible devices. Input
and output data can be independently right- or left- (with or
without a one bit clock delay) justified to the left/right clock
edge. In the right-justified mode, the MSB is delayed 16-bit
clock periods from the left/right clock edge transition. Input and
output data can also be independently justified to the word
clock rising edge. The data justification options are encoded on
two mode pins for both the input port and the output port. The
bit clocks can also be independently configured for rising edge
active or falling edge active operation.
The AD1893 SamplePort ASRC has on-chip digital coefficients
that correspond to a highly oversampled 0 Hz to 20 kHz lowpass filter with a flat passband, a very narrow transition band,
and a high degree of stopband attenuation. A subset of these
filter coefficients are dynamically chosen on the basis of the
filtered ratio between the input sample clock (LR_I) and the
output sample clock (LR_O), and these coefficients are then
used in an FIR convolver to perform the sample rate conversion.
Refer to the Theory of Operation section of this data sheet for a
more thorough functional description. The low-pass filter has
been designed so that full 20 kHz bandwidth is maintained
when the input and output sample clock frequencies are as low
as 44.1 kHz. If the output sample rate drops below the input
sample rate, the bandwidth of the input signal is automatically

DEFINITIONS
Dynamic Range
PRODUCT OVERVIEW (Continued)
limited to avoid alias distortion on the output signal. The
AD1893 dynamically alters the low-pass filter cutoff frequency
smoothly and slowly, so that real-time variations in the sample
rate ratio are possible without degradation of the audio quality.
The ratio of a near full-scale input signal to the integrated noise
in the passband (0 kHz to ≈20 kHz), expressed in decibels (dB).
Dynamic range is measured with a –60 dB input signal and
“60 dB” arithmetically added to the result.
Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise
Total Harmonic Distortion plus Noise (THD+N) is defined as
the ratio of the square root of the sum of the squares of the values
of the harmonics and noise to the rms value of a sinusoidal
input signal. It is usually expressed in percent (%) or decibels.
The AD1893 has a pin selectable slow- or fast-settling mode.
This mode determines how quickly the ASRC adapts to a
change in either the input sample clock frequency (FSIN) or the
output sample clock frequency (FSOUT). In the slow-settling
mode, the control loop which computes the ratio between FSIN
and FSOUT settles in approximately 800 ms and begins to reject
jitter above 3 Hz. The slow-settling mode offers the best signal
quality and the greatest jitter rejection. In the fast-settling mode,
the control loop settles in approximately 200 ms and begins to
reject jitter above 12 Hz. The fast-settling mode allows rapid,
real time sample rate changes to be tracked without error, at the
expense of some narrowband noise modulation products on the
output signal.
Interchannel Phase Deviation
Difference in input sampling times between stereo channels,
expressed as a phase difference in degrees between 1 kHz inputs.
Group Delay
Intuitively, the time interval required for a full-level input pulse
to appear at the converter’s output, at full level, expressed in
milliseconds (ms). More precisely, the derivative of radian
phase with respect to radian frequency at a given frequency.
Transport Delay
The time interval between when an impulse is applied to the
converter’s input and when the output starts to be affected by
this impulse, expressed in milliseconds (ms). Transport delay is
independent of frequency.
The AD1893 features short group delay processing. This feature
relates to the depth of the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) memory,
which buffers the input data samples before they are processed
by the FIR convolver. In the AD1893, the group delay is
approximately 700 µs. If the read and write pointers that
manage the FIFO cross (indicating underflow or overflow), the
AD1893 asserts the mute output (MUTE_O) pin HI for 128
output clock cycles. If MUTE_O is connected to the mute input
(MUTE_I) pin, as it normally should be, the serial output will
be muted (i.e., all bits zero) during this transient event.
The AD1893 includes an on-chip oscillator that only requires
the user provide an external crystal. By removing the need for
an external oscillator, the AD1893 lowers the total cost of ownership to the end user. The AD1893 also includes a powerdown mode, which is invoked with the PWRDWN pin.
Asserting this control signal HI will place the AD1893 into a
very low power dissipation in active and standby condition.
The AD1893 is fabricated in a 0.8 µm single poly, double metal
CMOS process and are packaged in a 0.6" wide 28-lead plastic
DIP and a 10 mm by 10 mm body size 44-lead LQFP. The
AD1893 operates from a +3 V to +5 V power supply over the
temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

THEORY OF OPERATION
then passed to a zero-order hold functional block (physically
implemented as a register, Plot D in Figure 1) and then asynchronously resampled at the output sample frequency (Plot E in
Figure 1). This resampling can be thought of as a decimation
operation since only a very few samples out of the great many
interpolated samples are retained. The output values represent
the “nearest” values, in a temporal sense, produced by the interpolation operation. There is always some error in the output
sample amplitude due to the fact that the output sampling switch
does not close at a time that exactly corresponds to a point on the
fine time scale of the interpolated sequence. However, this error
can be made arbitrarily small by using a very large interpolation
ratio. The AD1893 SamplePort ASRC uses an equivalent IRATIO
of 65,536 to provide 16-bit accuracy (≈–96 dB THD+N) across
the 0 kHz to 20 kHz audio band.
There are at least two logically equivalent methods of explaining
the concept of asynchronous sample rate conversion: the high
speed interpolation/decimation model and the polyphase filter
bank model. Using the AD1893 SamplePort does not require
understanding either model. This section is included for those
who wish a deeper understanding of its operation.
Interpolation/Decimation Model
In the high speed interpolation/decimation model, illustrated in
Figure 1, the sampled data input signal (Plot A in Figure 1) is
interpolated at some ratio (IRATIO) by inserting IRATIO-1
zero valued samples between each of the original input signal
samples (Plot B in Figure 1). The frequency domain characteristics of the input signal are unaltered by this operation, except that the zero-padded sequence is considered to be sampled
at a frequency which is the product of original sampling frequency multiplied by IRATIO.
The number of FIR filter taps and associated coefficients is
approximately 4 million. The equivalent FIR filter convolution
frequency (or “upsample” frequency) is 3.2768 GHz, and the
fine time scale has resolution of about 300 ps. Various proprietary efficiencies are exploited in the AD1893 ASRC to reduce
the complexity and throughput requirements of the hardware
implied by this interpolation/decimation model.
The zero-padded values are fed into a digital FIR low-pass filter
(Plot C in Figure 1) to smooth or integrate the sequence, and
limit the bandwidth of the filter output to 20 kHz. The interpolated output signal has been quantized to a much finer time
scale than the original sequence. The interpolated sequence is

are adequately sampled). The baseband magnitude and phase
responses of the subfilters are identical. The out-of-band (i.e.,
alias) regions of the subfilters however have phase responses
which are shifted relative to one another, in a manner that
causes them to cancel when they are summed.
Polyphase Filter Bank Model
Although less intuitively understandable than the interpolation/
decimation model, the polyphase filter bank model is useful to
explore because it more accurately portrays the operation of the
actual AD1893 SamplePort hardware. In the polyphase filter
bank model, the stored FIR filter coefficients are thought of as
the impulse response of a highly oversampled 0 kHz to 20 kHz
low-pass prototype filter, as shown in Figure 2. If this low-pass
filter is oversampled by a factor of N, then it can be conceptually decomposed into N different “subfilters,” each filter consisting of a different subset of the original set of impulse response
samples. If the temporal position of each of the subfilters is
maintained, then they can be summed to recreate the original
oversampled impulse response. Since the original impulse response is highly oversampled, the more sparsely sampled
subfilters still individually meet the Nyquist criterion (i.e., they
The subfilter coefficients are then aligned to the left, as shown
in Figure 3, so that the first coefficient of each subfilter is
aligned to the first point on a coarse time scale. (This conceptual
step accounts for how the hardware implementation is able to
operate at the slower rate corresponding to the coarse time
scale.) Each subfilter has been shifted in time by a different
amount, and though they still share identical magnitude responses, they now have in-band phase responses which have
fractionally different slopes (i.e., group delays).

The full set of subfilters can be considered to form a parallel

process the input signal simultaneously, as illustrated in Figure

Asynchronous sample rate conversion under the polyphase filter
bank model is accomplished by selecting the output of a particular polyphase filter on the basis of the temporal relationship
between the input sample clock and the output sample clock
events. Figure 5 shows the desired filter group delay as a function of the relative time difference between the current output
sample clock and the last input sample clock. If an output
sample is requested late in the input sample period, then a short
filter delay is required, and if an output sample is requested
early in the input sample period, then a long filter delay is required. This nonintuitive result arises from the fact that FIR
filters always produce some delay, so that selecting a filter with
shorter delay moves the interpolated sample closer to the newest
input sample.

To obtain an accurate conversion, a large number of polyphase
filters are needed. The AD1893 SamplePort uses the equivalent
of 65,536 polyphase filters to achieve its high quality distortion
and dynamic range specifications.

It should be clear that, in either model, the correct computation
of the ratio between the input sample rate (as determined from
the left/right input clock, LR_I) and the output sample rate (as
determined from the left/right output clock, LR_O) is critical to
the quality of the output data stream. It is straightforward to
compute this ratio if the sample rates are fixed and synchronous;
the challenge is to accurately track dynamically varying and
asynchronous sample rates, as well as to account for jitter.

Figure 5. Input and Output Clock Event Relationship
A short delay corresponds to a large offset into the dense FIR
filter coefficient array, and a long delay corresponds to a small
offset. Note that because the output sample clock can arrive at
any arbitrary time with respect to the input sample clock, the
selection of a polyphase filter with which to convolve the input
sequence occurs on every output sample clock event. Occasionally the FIFO which holds the input sequence in the FIR convolver is either not incremented, or incremented by two between
output sample clocks (see periods A and B in Figure 5); this
happens more often when the input and output sample clock
frequencies are dissimilar than when they are close together.
However, in this situation, an appropriate polyphase filter is
selected to process the input signal, and thus an accurate output
sample is computed. Input and output samples are not skipped
or repeated (unless the input FIFO underflows or overflows), as
is the case in some other sample rate converter implementations.
The AD1893 SamplePort solves this problem by embedding the
ratio computation circuit within a digital servo control loop, as
shown in Figure 6. This control loop includes special provisions
to allow for the accurate tracking of dynamically changing
sample rates. The outputs of the control loop are the starting
read addresses for the input data FIFO and the filter coefficient
ROM. These start addresses are used by the FIFO and ROM
address generators, as shown in Figure 6.
The input data FIFO write address is generated by a counter
which is clocked by the input sample clock (i.e., LR_I). It is very
important that the FIFO read address and the FIFO write address do not cross, as this means that the FIFO has either
underflowed or overflowed. This consideration affects the
choice of settling time of the control loop. When a step change
in the sample rate occurs, the relative positions of the read and
write addresses will change while the loop is settling. A fast
settling loop will act to keep the FIFO read and write addresses
separated better than a slow settling loop. The AD1893 includes
a user selectable pin (SETLSLW) to set the loop settling time
that essentially changes the coefficients of the digital servo control loop filter. The state of the SETLSLW pin can be changed
on-the-fly but is normally set and forgotten.

AD1893
Sample Clock Jitter Rejection
The loop filter settling time also affects the ability of the
AD1893 ASRC to reject sample clock jitter, since the control
loop effectively computes a time weighted average or “estimated” new output of many past input and output clock events.
This first order low pass filtering of the sample clock ratio provides the AD1893 with its jitter rejection characteristic. In the
slow settling mode, the AD1893 attenuates jitter frequencies
higher than 3 Hz (≈800 ms for the control loop to settle to an
18-bit “pure” sine wave), and thus rejects all but the most severe sample clock jitter; performance is essentially limited only
by the FIR filter. In the fast settling mode, the ASRC attenuates
jitter components above 12 Hz (≈200 ms for the control loop to
settle). Due to the effects of on-chip synchronization of the
sample clocks to the 16 MHz (62.5 ns) crystal master clock,
sample clock jitter must be a large percentage of the crystal
period (>10 ns) before performance degrades in either the slow
or fast settling modes. Note that since both past input and past
output clocks are used to compute the filtered “current” internal
output clock request, jitter on both the input sample clock and
the output sample clock is rejected equally. In summary: the fastsettling mode is best for applications when the sample rates will
be dynamically altered (e.g., varispeed situations), while the
slow-settling mode provides the most sample clock jitter rejection.
Clock jitter can be modeled as a frequency modulation process.
Figure 7 shows one such model, where a noise source combined
with a sine wave source modulates the “carrier” frequency generated by a voltage controlled oscillator.
The other parameter that determines the likelihood of FIFO
input overflow or output underflow is the FIFO depth. This
FIFO induced group delay is better termed transport delay,
since it is frequency independent, and should be kept conceptually distinct from the notion of group delay as used in the polyphase filter bank model. The total group delay of the AD1893
equals the FIFO transport delay plus the FIR (polyphase) filter
group delay.

In the AD1893, the FIFO read and write pointers are separated
by five memory locations (≈100 µs equivalent transport delay at
a 50 kHz sample rate). This is added to the FIR filter delay
(64 taps divided by 2) for a total nominal group delay in short
mode of ≈700 µs.

Figure 7. Clock Jitter Modeled as a Modulated VCO
If the jittered output of the VCO is used to clock an analog-todigital converter, the digital output of the ADC will be contaminated by the presence of jitter. If the noise source is spectrally
flat (i.e., “white” jitter), an FFT of the ADC digital output
would show a spectrum with a uniform noise floor that is
REV. A
The AD1893 applies rejection to these jitter frequency components referenced to the input signal. In other words, if a 5 kHz
digital sinusoid is applied to the ASRC, depending on the settling mode selected, the ASRC will attenuate sample clock jitter
at either 3 Hz above and below 5 kHz (slow settling) or 12 Hz
above and below 5 kHz (fast settling). The rolloff is 6 dB per
octave. As an example, suppose there was correlated jitter
present on the input sample clock with a 1 kHz component,
associated with the same 5 kHz sinusoidal input data. This
would produce sidebands at 4 kHz and 6 kHz, 3 kHz and
7 kHz, etc., with amplitudes that decrease as they move away
from the input signal frequency. For the slow-settling mode
case, 1 kHz represents more than nine octaves (relative to
3 Hz), so the first two sideband pairs would be attenuated by
more than 54 dB. For the fast-settling mode case, 1 kHz represents more than seven octaves (relative to 12 Hz), so that the
first two sideband pairs would be attenuated by more than 42 dB.
The second and higher sideband pairs are attenuated even more
because they are spaced further from the input signal frequency.

elevated compared to the spectrum with the noise source turned
off. If the noise source has distinct frequency components (i.e.,
“correlated” jitter), then an FFT of the ADC digital output
would show symmetrical sidebands around the ADC input
signal, at amplitudes and frequencies determined by frequency
modulation theory. One notable result is that the level of the
noise or the sidebands is proportional to the slope of the input
signal, i.e., the worst case occurs at the highest frequency fullscale input (a full-scale 20 kHz sinusoid).
This delay is deterministic and constant except when FSOUT
drops below FSIN which causes the number of FIR filter taps to
increase (see Cutoff Frequency Modification section). If the
FIFO read and write addresses cross, the MUTE_O signal will
be asserted. Note that under all conditions, both the highly
oversampled low-pass prototype and the polyphase subfilters of
the AD1893 ASRC possess a linear phase response.

Cutoff Frequency Modification
DOWNSAMPLING
NUMBER OF FILTER TAPS
The final important operating concept of the ASRC is the modification of the filter cutoff frequency when the output sample
rate (FSOUT) drops below the input sample rate (FSIN), i.e.,
during downsampling operation. The AD1893 automatically
reduces the polyphase filter cutoff frequency under this condition. This lowering of the cutoff frequency (i.e., the reduction of
the input signal bandwidth) is required to avoid alias distortion.
The AD1893 SamplePort takes advantage of the scaling property of the Fourier transform which can be stated as follows: if
the Fourier transform of f(t) is F(w), then the Fourier transform
of f(k × t) is F(w/k). This property can be used to linearly compress the frequency response of the filter, simply by multiplying
the coefficient ROM addresses (shown in Figure 6) by the ratio
of FSOUT to FSIN whenever FSOUT is less than FSIN. This scaling
property works without spectral distortion because the time scale
of the interpolated signal is so dense (300 ps resolution) with
respect to the cutoff frequency that the discrete-time representation is a close approximation to the continuous time function.

When the AD1893 output sample frequency is higher than the
input sample frequency (i.e., upsampling operation), the cutoff
frequency of the FIR polyphase filter can be greater than 20 kHz.
The cutoff frequency of the FIR filter during upsampling is
given by the following relation:
Upsampling Cutoff Frequency = (FSIN/44.1 kHz) × 20 kHz
The cutoff frequency (–3 dB down) of the FIR filter during
downsampling is given by the following relation:
Noise and Distortion Phenomena
Downsampling Cutoff Frequency = (FSOUT/44.1 kHz) × 20 kHz
The AD1893 frequency response compression circuit includes a
first order low-pass filter to smooth the filter cutoff frequency
selection during dynamic sample rate conditions. This allows
the ASRC to avoid objectionable clicking sounds that would
otherwise be imposed on the output while the loop settles to a
new sample rate ratio. Hysteresis is also applied to the filter
selection with approximately 300 Hz of cutoff frequency “noise
margin,” which limits the available selection of cutoff frequencies to those falling on an approximately 300 Hz frequency grid.
Thus if a particular sample frequency ratio was reached by sliding the output sample frequency up, it is possible that a filter
will be chosen with a cutoff frequency that could differ by as
much as 300 Hz from the filter chosen when the same sample
frequency ratio was reached by sliding the output sample frequency down. This is necessary to ensure that the filter selection
is stable even with severely jittered input sample clocks.
Note that when the filter cutoff frequency is reduced, the transition band of the filter becomes narrower since the scaling property affects all filter characteristics. The number of FIR filter
taps necessarily increases because there are now a smaller number of longer length polyphase filters. Nominally, when FSOUT is
greater than FSIN, the number of taps is 64. When FSOUT is less
than FSIN, the number of taps linearly increase to a maximum
of 128 when the ratio of FSOUT to FSIN equals 1:2. The number
of filter taps as a function of sample clock ratio is illustrated in
Figure 8. The natural consequence of this increase in filter taps
is an increase in group delay.
UPSAMPLING
128
There are three noise/distortion phenomena that limit the performance of the AD1893 ASRC. First, there is broadband,
Gaussian noise that results from polyphase filter selection
quantization. Even though the AD1893 has a large number of
polyphase filters (the equivalent of 65,536) from which to
choose, the selection is not infinite. Second, there is narrowband
noise that results from the nonideal synchronization of the
sample clocks to the 16 MHz system clock, which leads to a
nonideal computation of the sample clock ratio, which leads
to a nonideal polyphase filter selection. This noise source is
narrowband because the digital servo control loop averages the
polyphase filter selection, leading to a strong correlation between selections from output to output. In slow mode, the selection of polyphase filters is completely unaffected by the clock
synchronization. In fast mode, some narrowband noise modulation may be observed with very long FFT measurements. This
situation is analogous to the behavior of a phase locked loop
when presented with a noisy or jittered input. Third, there are
distortion components that are due to the noninfinite stopband
rejection of the low-pass filter response. Noninfinite stopband
rejection means that some amount of out-of-band spectral energy will alias into the baseband. The AD1893 performance
specifications include the effects of these phenomena.
Note that Figures 16 through 18 are shown with full-scale input
signals. The distortion and noise components will scale with the
input signal amplitude. In other words, if the input signal is
attenuated by –20 dB, the distortion and noise components will
also be attenuated by –20 dB. This dependency holds until the
effects of the 16-bit input quantization are reached.

AD1893
OPERATING FEATURES
Serial Input/Output Ports
The MSB delay is useful for I2S format compatibility and for
ease of interfacing to some DSP processors.
The AD1893 uses the frequency of the left/right input clock
(LR_ I) and the left/right output clock (LR_O) signals to determine the sample rate ratio, and therefore these signals must run
continuously and transition twice per sample period. (The LR_I
clock frequency is equivalent to FSIN and the LR_O clock frequency is equivalent to FSOUT.) The other clocks (WCLK_I,
WCLK_O, BCLK_I, BCLK_O) are edge sensitive and may be
used in a gated or burst mode (i.e., a stream of pulses during
data transmission or reception followed by periods of inactivity).
The word clocks and the output bit clock are used only to write
data into or read data out of the serial ports; only the left/right
clocks are used in the internal DSP blocks. The input bit clock
is used to sample the input left/right clock. It is important that
the left/right clocks are “clean” with monotonic rising and falling
edge transitions and no excessive overshoot or undershoot which
could cause false triggering on the AD1893.
The AD1893 SamplePort serial ports operate in either the word
clock (WCLK_I, WCLK_O) triggered mode or left/right clock
(LR_I, LR_O) triggered mode. These modes can be utilized
independently for the input and output ports. In the word clock
triggered mode, as shown in Figure 23, after the left/right clock
is valid, the appearance of the MSB of data is synchronous with
the rising edge of the word clock. Note that the word clock is
rising edge sensitive, and can fall anytime after it is sampled HI
by the bit clock. In the left-justified left/right clock triggered
modes, as shown in Figure 24, the appearance of the MSB of
data is synchronous with the rising edge of the left/right clock
for the left channel and the falling edge of left/right clock for the
right channel. The MSB is delayed by one bit clock after the
left/right clock if the MSB delay mode is selected. In the rightjustified left/right clock triggered mode, as shown in Figure 25,
the MSB is delayed 16 bit clock periods from a left/right clock
edge, so that when there are 64 bit clock periods per frame, the
LSB is right-justified to a left/right clock edge. The word clock
is not required in the left/right clock triggered modes, and
should be tied either HI or LO. Figure 24 shows the bit clock in
the optional gated or burst mode; the bit clock is inactive between data fields, and can take either the HI state or the LO
state while inactive.
The AD1893’s flexible serial input and output ports consume
and produce data in twos-complement, MSB-first format. The
left channel data field always precedes the right channel data
field; the current channel being consumed or produced is indicated by the state of the left/right clock (LR_I and LR_O). A left
channel field, right channel field pair is called a frame. The
input data field consists of 4 to 16 bits. The output data field
consists of 4 to 24 bits. The input signals are specified to TTL
logic levels, and the outputs swing to full CMOS logic levels.
The ports are configured by pin selections.
Serial I/O Port Modes
The AD1893 has pin-selectable bit clock polarity for the input
and output ports. In “normal” mode (BKPOL_I or BKPOL_O
LO) the data is valid on the rising edge. In the “inverted” mode
(BKPOL_I or BKPOL_O HI) the data is valid on the falling
edge. Both modes are shown in Figures 23 and 24.
The AD1893 uses two multiplexed input pins to control the mode
configuration of the input and output serial ports. MODE0_I
and MODE1_I control the input serial port, and MODE0_O
and MODE1_O control the output serial port as follows:

Note that there is no requirement for a delay between the left
channel data and the right channel data. The left/right clocks
and the word clocks can transition immediately after the LSB of
the data, so that the MSB of the subsequent channel appears
without any timing delay. The AD1893 is therefore capable of a
32-bit frame mode, in which both 16-bit channels are packed
into a 32-bit clock period. More generally, there is no particular
requirement for when the left/right clock falls (i.e., there is no
left/right clock duty cycle or pulsewidth specification), provided
that the left/right clock frequency equals the intended sample
frequency, and there are sufficient bit clock periods to clock in
or out the intended number of data bits.
On-Chip Oscillator
The AD1893 includes an on-chip oscillator so that the user
need only supply an external quartz crystal or ceramic resonator.
The crystal or the resonator should be tied to the XTAL_I and
XTAL_O pins of the AD1893. An external crystal oscillator can
be used to overdrive the AD1893 on-chip oscillator. The external clock source should be applied to the XTAL_I pin, and the
XTAL_O pin should be left unconnected.

AD1893
If the AD1893 is to be used to dramatically downsample (i.e.,
output sample frequency is much lower than input sample frequency), the input should be sufficiently dithered to account for
the limiting of the input signal bandwidth (which reduces the
rms level of the input dither). No dither is internally used or
applied to the audio data in the AD1893 SamplePort.
Some applications using multiple AD1893s may desire to use
the same master clock frequency for all the SamplePorts, supplied by a single crystal. The crystal output can be buffered with
a 74HCXX gate and distributed to the other XTAL_I inputs, as
shown in Figure 10.
Decoupling and PCB Layout
The AD1893 ASRC has two power and two ground connections to
minimize output switching noise and ground bounce. (Pins 14
[DIP] and 16 [LQFP] are actually control inputs, and should be
tied LO, but need not be decoupled.) The DIP version places
the power and ground pins at the center of the device to optimize
switching performance. The AD1893 should be decoupled
with two high quality 0.1 µF or 0.01 µF ceramic capacitors
(preferably surface mount chip capacitors, due to their low inductance), one between each VDD/GND pair. Best practice PCB
layout and interconnect guidelines should be followed. This may
include terminating the bit clocks or the left/right clocks if excessive overshoot or undershoot is evident and avoiding parallel
PCB traces to minimize digital crosstalk between clocks and
control lines. Note that DIP and LQFP sockets reduce electrical performance due to the additional inductance they
impose; sockets should therefore be used only when required.

Power-Down Mode
The AD1893 includes a power-down control input pin
PWRDWN. This control signal is active HI, and puts the
AD1893 in an inactive state with very low power dissipation.
The PWRDWN pin should be connected LO when normal
operation of the AD1893 is desired.
Control Signals
The SETLSLW, BKPOL_I, BKPOL_O, MODE0_I, MODE1_I,
MODE0_O and MODE1_O inputs are asynchronous signals in
that they need obey no particular timing relation to the crystal
frequency or the sample clocks. Ordinarily, these pins are hardwired or connected to an I/O register for microprocessor control.
The only timing requirement on these pins is that the control
signals are stable and valid before the first serial input data bit
(i.e., the MSB) is presented to the AD1893.
Master Clock
Reset
Figure 27 shows the reset timing for the AD1893 SamplePort. A
crystal (or resonator) must be connected to the AD1893 when
RESET is asserted, and the bit clocks, the word clocks and the
left/right clocks may also be running. When the AD1893 comes
out of reset, it defaults to a FSIN to FSOUT ratio of 1:1. The filter
pipeline is not cleared. However, the mute output goes HI for at
least 128 cycles, adequate to allow the pipeline to clear. If FSIN
differs significantly from FSOUT, then the AD1893 sample clock
servo control loop also has to settle. While settling, the mute
output will be HI. After the external system resets the AD1893,
it should wait until the mute output goes LO before clocking in
serial data.

APPLICATION ISSUES
Dither
Due to the large output word length, no redithering of the
AD1893 output is necessary. This assumes that the input is
properly dithered and the user retains the same or greater number of output bits as there are input bits. The AD1893 output
bit stream may thus be used directly as the input to downstream
digital audio processors, storage media or output devices.
FSIN/FSOUT = 1/2

FSOUT – kHz
There is no requirement for using the RESET pin at power-up
or when the input or output sample rate changes. If it is not
used, the AD1893 will settle to the sample clocks supplied within
≈200 ms in fast-settling mode or within ≈800 ms in slow-settling
mode.
Using a 16 MHz crystal, the nominal range of sample frequencies
that the AD1893 accepts is from 8 kHz to 56 kHz. Other
sample frequency ranges are possible by linearly scaling the
crystal frequency. For example, a 12 MHz crystal would yield a
sample frequency range of 6 kHz to 42 kHz. The approximate
relative upper bound sample frequency is the crystal frequency
divided by 286; the approximate relative lower bound sample
frequency is the crystal frequency divided by 2000. The audio
performance will not degrade if the sample frequencies are kept
within these bounds. The AD1893 SamplePort is production
tested at 16 MHz. Note that due to finite register length constraints, there is a minimum input sample frequency (LR_I).
The allowable input and output sample frequency ranges for
crystal frequencies of 16 MHz and 12 MHz are shown in Figures
11 and 12.

The AD1893 does not support exact 1:2 (or 2:1) sample rate
conversion. The SamplePort will convert to within several hertz
of the 1:2 range, but will mute before reaching the exact 1:2
ratio. Thus the AD1893 will not support applications where the
input and output sample clocks are derived from a common
source but differ by a divide-by-two. When the ratio between
the input and output sample clock reaches to within 1% of 1:2
or 2:1, the THD+N performance may degrade by several decibels, due to the wraparound of the internal read/write memory
location pointers.

Multiple SamplePort Synchronization and Performance
Degradation
Multiple parallel AD1893 SamplePorts may be used in a single
system. Multiple AD1893s can be “synchronized” by simply
sharing the same reset and buffered crystal connections (see
Figure 10), and ensuring that all the SamplePorts leave the reset
state on the same crystal falling edge. No other provision is
necessary since the different AD1893s will process samples
identically if they are presented with the same input and output
clocks (neglecting the effect of excessive clock skew on the PCB,
as well process variations between ASRCs which could cause
different devices to trigger at slightly different times on excessively slow rising or falling clock edges).
It is also likely that several AD1893s could end up in a serial
cascade arrangement, either in a single system design or as the
result of two or more systems, each using a single AD1893 in
the signal path. The audio signal quality will be degraded with
each pass through a SamplePort, though to a very minor degree.
The THD+N performance will degrade by 3 dB with every
doubling of the number of passes through an ASRC. For example, the AD1893 THD+N specification of –94 dB will rise to
–91 dB if the signal makes two passes through an ASRC. The
overall system THD+N specification will rise to –88 dB with
four passes, and so on.
Clipping
Under certain rare input conditions, it is possible for the
AD1893 to produce a clipped output sample. This situation is
best comprehended by employing the interpolation/decimation
model. If two consecutive samples happened to have full-scale
amplitudes (representing the peak of a full-scale sine wave, for
example), the interpolated sample (or samples) between these
two samples might have an amplitude greater than full scale. As
this is not possible, the AD1893 will compute a full-scale amplitude for the interpolated sample or samples (see Figure 13).
Clipping can also arise due to the pre-echo and post-echo Gibbs
phenomena of the FIR filter, when presented with a full-scale
step input. The result of this erroneous or clipped output
sample may be measured as an extremely small decrease in
headroom for transient signals.

Options for Sample Rate Conversion over a Wider Range
There are systems requiring sample rate conversion over a range
that is wider than the 1:2 or 2:1 range provided by a single
AD1893, such as for “scrubbing” in digital audio editors. There
are at least two options in this situation. The first is to use a
programmable DSP chip to perform simple integer ratio interpolation or decimation, and then use the AD1893 when this
intermediate output sample frequency is within the approximate
1:2 or 2:1 range of the final desired output sample frequency. The
second is to use multiple AD1893 devices cascaded in series to
achieve the required sample rate range.
“Almost Synchronous” Operation
It is possible to apply input and output sample frequencies
which are very close (within a few hertz) or in fact synchronous
(LR_I and LR_O tied together). There is no performance penalty when using the AD1893 in “almost synchronous” applications. Indeed, there is a very slight performance benefit when
the input and output sample clocks are synchronous since the
alias distortion components which arise from the noninfinite
stopband attenuation of the FIR filter will pile up exactly on top
of the sinusoidal frequency components of the input signal, and
will thus be masked.
It has been empirically observed that during almost synchronous
operation, certain AES/EBU receivers, when used to generate
the input bit clock (BCLK_I) using a 128 times FS bit clock
frequency, can suffer sympathetic phase lock to the output bit
clock (BCLK_O) when the output bit clock is also operated at a
128 times FS rate. In other words, due to a noise pickup
mechanism in the analog phase lock loop portion of these AES/
EBU receivers, the lock frequency is pulled to match the frequency of the output bit clock. The system can suffer intermittent bursts of audible distortion when this sympathetic lock
phenomenon occurs. Analog Devices recommends avoiding the
use of a 128 times FS output bit clock frequency if almost synchronous application is intended. The use of a 64 times FS
output bit clock rate is recommended.

System Mute
The mute function applies to both right and left channels on the
AD1893. The user can include a system-specific output mute
signal, while retaining the automatic mute feature of the AD1893
by using the circuit shown in Figure 14.
