Notes:
5. The input word rate, IWR, refers to the frequency at which stereo audio input samples are input to
the part. (A stereo pair is two audio samples.) Therefore, in Master mode, there are always
32 SCK periods in one audio sample.
6. Master mode is defined as SCK and FSYNC being outputs. In Slave mode they are inputs. In the
CS8401A, control reg. 3 bit 1, MSTR, selects master. In the CS8402A, only format 0 is master.
7. The table above assumes data is output on the falling edge and latched on the rising edge. In both
parts the edge is selectable. The table is defined for the CS8401A with control reg. 3 bit 0, SCED, set to
one, and for the CS8402A in formats 4 through 7. For the other formats, the table and figure edges
must be reversed (ie. "rising" to "falling" and vice versa).
8. The diagrams show SBC rising coincident with the first rising edge of SCK after FSYNC transitions.
This is true for all modes except FSF0 & 1 both equal 1 in the CS8401A, and format 4 in the CS8402A.
In these modes SBC is delayed one full SCK period.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
CS8401A DESCRIPTION
The CS8401A/2A are monolithic CMOS circuits
that encode and transmit audio and digital data
according to the AES/EBU, IEC 958 (S/PDIF),
and EIAJ CP-340 interface standards. Both chips
accept audio and control data separately; multiplex an d biphase-mark encode the data
internally; and drive it, directly or through a
transformer, to a transmission line. The CS8401A
is fully software programmable through a parallel port and contains buffer memory for control
data, while the CS8402A has dedicated pins for
the most important control bits and a serial input
port for the C, U, and V bits.
The CS8401A accepts 16- to 24-bit audio samples
through a configurable serial port, and channel status,
user, and auxiliary data through an 8-bit parallel port.
The parallel port allows access to 32 bytes of internal
memory which is used to store control information
and buffer channel status, user, and auxiliary data.
This data is multiplexed with the audio data from the
serial port, the parity bit is generated, and the bit
stream is biphase-mark encoded and driven through
an RS422 line driver. A block diagram of the
CS8401A is shown in Figure 4. In accordance with
the professional definition of channel status, the
CRCC code (C.S. byte 23) can be internally generated.
Familiarity with the AES/EBU and IEC 958
specifications are assumed throughout this data
sheet. Many terms such as channel status, user
data, auxiliary data, professional mode, etc. are
not defined. The Application Note, Overview of
AES/EBU Digital Audio Interface Data Structures, provides an overview of the AES/EBU and
IEC 958 specifications and is included for clarity; however, it is not meant to be a complete
reference, and the complete standards should be
obtained from the Audio Engineering Society or
ANSI for the AES/EBU document, and the International Electrotechnical Commission for the
IEC document.
Line Drivers
The RS422 line drivers for both the CS8401A
and CS8402A are low skew, low impedance, differential outputs capable of driving 110 Ω
transmission lines with a 4 volt peak-to-peak signal when configured as shown in Appendix A.
To prevent possible short circuits, both drivers
are set to ground when no master clock (MCK)
is provided. They can also be disabled by resetting the device (RST = low). Appendix A
contains more information on the line drivers. A
0.1 µF capacitor, with short leads, should be
placed as close as possible to the VD+ and GND
pins.
DS60F1
Parallel Port
The parallel port accesses one status register, three
control registers, and 28 bytes of dual port buffer
memory. The address bus, and RD/WR line must be
valid when CS goes low. If RD/WR is low, the value
on the data bus will be written into the buffer memory at the specified address. If RD/WR is high, the
value in the buffer memory, at the specified address,
is placed on the data bus. The detailed timing for
reading and writing the CS8401A can be found in
the Digital Switching Characteristics table. The
memory space is allocated as shown in Figure 5.
There are three defined buffer memory modes selectable by two bits in control register 2.
Status and Control Registers
Upon power up the CS8401A control registers
contain all zeros. Therefore, the part is initially
in reset and is muted. One’s must be written to
control register 2, bits RST and MUTE, before
the part will transmit data. The remaining registers are not initialized on power-up and may
contain random data.
The first register, shown in Figure 6, is the status
register in which only three bits are valid. The lower
three bits contain flags indicating the position of the
transmit pointer in the buffer memory. These flags

may be used to avoid contention between the
transmit pointer reading the data and the user updating the buffer memory. Besides indicating the
byte location being transmitted, the flags indicate
the block of memory the part is currently addressing, thereby telling the user which block is
free to be written to. Each flag has a corresponding mask bit (control register 1) which, when set,
allows a transition on the flag to generate a pulse
on the interrupt pin. Flag 0 and flag 1 cause interrupts on both edges whereas flag 2 causes an
interrupt only on the rising edge. Timing and
further explanation of the flags can be found in
the buffer memory section.
The two most significant bits of control register 1,
BKST and TRNPT, are used for Transparent Mode
operation of the CS8401A. Transparent Mode is used
for those applications where it is useful to maintain
frame alignment between the received and transmitted
audio data signals. In Transparent Mode
(TRNPT = "1") the MCK, FSYNC, SCK and
SDATA inputs of the CS8401A can be connected to
their corresponding outputs of the CS8411. In Transparent Mode, FSYNC synchronizes the transmitter
and the receiver. The data delay through the CS8401A
8
is set so that three frame delays occur from the
input of the CS8411 to the output of the
CS8401A. In Transparent Mode, 32 SCK’s are
required per subframe.
Channel status block alignment between the
CS8411 and the CS8401A is accomplished by
setting BKST high at the occurrence of the Flag
2 rising edge of the CS8411. If FSYNC is a
left/right signal, BKST is sampled once per
frame; if FSYNC is a word clock, BKST is sampled once per subframe. A low to high transition
of BKST (based on two successive internal samples) resets the channel status block boundary to
the beginning.
Control register 2, shown in Figure 8, contains
various system level functions. The two most
significant bits, M1 and M0, select the frequency
at the MCK pin as shown in Table 1. As an example, if the audio sample frequency is 44.1 kHz
and M0 and M1 are both zero, MCK would then
be 128× the audio sample rate or 5.6448 MHz. The
next bit (5) in control register 2, V, indicates the validity of the current audio sample. According to the
DS60F1
CS8401A
digital audio specifications, V = 0 signifies the
audio signal is suitable for conversion to analog.
B1 and B0 select one of three modes for the
buffer memory. The different modes are shown
in Figure 5 and the bit combinations in Table 2.
More information on the different modes can be
found in the Buffer Memory section. Bit 2, CRCE, is
the channel status CRCC enable and should only be
used in professional mode. When CRCE is high, the

channel status data cyclic redundancy check
characters are generated independently for channels A and B and are transmitted at the end of the
channel status block. When MUTE (bit 1) is low,
the transmitted audio data is forced to zero. Both
RST and MUTE are set to zero upon power up.
When RST is low, the differential line drivers are
set to ground and the block counters are reset to the
beginning of the first block. In order to properly
synchronize the rest of the CS8401A to the audio
serial port, the transmit timing counters, which include the flags in the status register, are not enabled
after RST is set high until eight and one half SCK
periods after the active edge (first edge after reset is
exited) of FSYNC.
of the formats delineate each channel’s data and
do not indicate the particular channel. The other
two formats also indicate the specific channel.
The formats are shown in Figure 10. Bit 1,
MSTR, determines whether FSYNC and SCK
are inputs, MSTR low, or outputs, MSTR high.
Bit 0, serial clock edge select, SCED, selects the
edge that audio data gets latched on. When
SCED is low, the falling edge of SCK latches
data in the chip and when SCED is high, the rising edge is used.
The multitude of combinations allow for a zero
glue logic interface to almost all DSP’s, encoder
chips, and standard serial data formats.
Serial Port
When FSYNC is configured as a left/right signal
(FSF1 = 1), the counters and flags are not enabled until the right sample is being entered
(during which the previous left sample is being
transmitted). This guarantees that channel A is
left and Channel B is right as per the digital
audio interface specs.
Control register 3 contains format information for
the serial audio input channel. The MSB is unused
and the next three bits, SDF2-SDF0, select the format for the serial input data with respect to
FSYNC. There are five valid combinations of these
bits as shown in Figure 10. The next two bits,
FSF1 and FSF0, select the format of FSYNC. Two

The serial port is used to enter audio data and
consists of three pins: SCK, SDATA, and
FSYNC. The serial port is double buffered with
SCK clocking in the data from SDATA, and
FSYNC delineating audio samples and may define the particular channel, left or right.
Control register 3, shown in Figure 9, configures
the serial port. All the various formats are illustrated in Figure 10. When FSF1 is low, FSYNC
only delineates audio samples. When FSF1 is
high, it delineates audio samples and specifies
the channel. When FSF1 is low and the port is a
master (MSTR = 1), FSYNC is a square wave
output. When FSF1 is low and the port is a slave
(input), FSYNC can be a square wave or a pulse
provided the active edge, as defined in Figure 10, is properly positioned with respect to
SDATA.
Bits 4, 5, and 6, SDF0-SDF2, define the format
of SDATA and is also described in Figure 10.
The five allowable formats are MSB first, MSB
last, 16-bit LSB last, 18-bit LSB last, and 20-bit
LSB last. The MSB first and MSB last formats
accept any word length from 16 to 24 bits. The
word length is controlled by providing trailing
zeros in MSB first mode and leading zeros in

MSB last mode, or by restricting the number of
SCK periods between samples to the sample
word length. The 16-, 18-, and 20-bit LSB-last
modes require at least 16, 18, or 20 SCK periods
per sample respectively. As a master, 32 SCK periods are output per sample.
FSYNC must be derived from MCK via a DSP
using the same clock or by external counters. If
FSYNC moves (jitters) with respect to MCK by
more than 4 MCK periods, the CS8401A may
reset the channel status block and flags. Appendix C contains more information on the
relationship of FSYNC and MCK.
Buffer Memory
In all buffer modes, the status register and control registers are located at addresses 0-3
DS60F1
respectively, and the user data is buffered in locations 4-7. The parallel port can access any
location in the user data buffer at any time; however, care must be taken not to modify a location
when that location is being read internally. This
internal reading is done through the second port
of the buffer and is done in a cyclic manner.
Reset initializes the internal pointer to
04H (Hex). Data is read from this location and
stored in an 8-bit shift register which is shifted
once per audio sample. (An audio sample is defined as a single channel, not a stereo pair.) The
byte is transmitted LSB first, D0 being the first
bit. After transmitting 8 samples, i.e. 8 user bits,
the address pointer is incremented and the next
byte of user data is loaded into the shift register.
After transmitting all four bytes, 32 audio sam11
CS8401A
ples, the user read pointer is reset to 04H (Hex)
and the cycle repeats.
Flag 1 is mode dependent, changing with buffer
memory configuration, and is discussed in the
individual buffer mode sections.
Flag 0 in the status register monitors the position
of the internal user data read pointer. When the
first byte, location 04H, is read, flag 0 is set low
and when the third byte, location 06H, is read,
flag 0 is set high. If mask 0 in control register 1
is set, a transition of flag 0 will generate a low
pulse on the interrupt pin. The value of flag 0
indicates which two bytes the part will read next,
thereby indicating which two bytes are free to be
updated.
Flag 2 is set high when byte 0 of the channel
status, address 08H, is read, and set low when
byte 4, address 0BH, is read. Therefore, flag 2
high indicates the part is reading the first four
bytes of channel status, and the last 20 bytes are
free to update. If the interrupt mask bit for flag 2
is set, the rising edge will cause an interrupt indicating the beginning of a channel status block
as shown in Figure 11. Although a falling edge

reads this buffer in a cyclic non-destructive manner and stores the byte in an 8-bit shift register
that is shifted once per two transmitted audio
samples (once per frame).
Figure 11 illustrates the flag timing for an entire
channel status block which includes 24 bytes of
channel status data and 384 audio samples. (This
figure assumes the channel status bit is the same
for the audio pair.) The lower portion of Figure 11 expands the first byte of channel status
showing eight pairs of data with a pair defined
as a frame. This is further expanded showing the
first sub-frame (A0) to contain 32 bits as per the
AES/EBU specifications (see Appendix A).
When transmitting stereo, channel A is left and
channel B is right. The preamble at the bottom
of Figure 11 is expanded in Figure 15 to show
the exact timing between flags, the interrupt pin,
and internal buffer-read timing.
Flag 1 in the status register can be used to monitor the channel status buffer. In mode 0, flag 1 is
set low when byte 0, location 08H, is read, and
set high when byte 16, location 18H, is read. If
mask 1 in control register 1 is set, a transition on
flag 1 will generate a pulse on the interrupt pin.
Figure 12 illustrates the memory read sequence
for buffer mode 0 along with the flag timing.
The arrows on the flags indicate an interrupt if
the appropriate mask bit is set. Flag 0 can cause
an interrupt on either edge, which is shown only
in the expanded portion of the Figure for clarity.
The expanded section also shows that the user
buffer is reread when location 0AH of the channel status is read.
Buffer Mode 0
In buffer mode 0, in addition to the user-data
buffer previously discussed, one entire block of
channel status data is buffered in 24 memory locations from address 08H to 1FH. This block
will be transmitted in both channel A and channel B, one bit per frame. Like the user-data
buffer, the parallel port can access any location
in this buffer at any time. The transmitter section
Buffer Mode 1
In buffer mode 1, eight bytes are allocated for
channel status data and 16 bytes for auxiliary
data as shown in Figure 5. The channel status
buffer, locations 08H to 0FH, is divided into two
sections. The first four locations always contain
the first four bytes of channel status, identical to

buffer; however, four auxiliary data bits are
transmitted per audio sample (sub-frame). Since
the auxiliary buffer must be read four times as
often as the user data buffer and is four times as
large, flag 0 can be used to monitor both.
Similar to mode 0, transmitted channel status
data will be the same for channel A and channel B (one channel status bit per frame). Flag 1
and flag 2 can be used to monitor this buffer.
Flag 1 is set low when byte 0 of channel status
data, location 08H, is read and is toggled when
every other byte is read. As shown in Figure 13,
flag 2 is set high when byte 0, location 08H, is
read and set low when byte 4, location 0CH, is
read. Flag 2 determines whether the channel
status pointer is reading the first four-byte section or the second four-byte section, while flag 1
indicates which two bytes of the section are free
to update.
Buffer Mode 2
In buffer mode 2, two 8-byte buffers are available for buffering both channel A and channel B
channel status data independently. Both buffers
are identical to the channel status buffer in
mode 1 except that each channel can have
unique channel status data. The two buffers are
read simultaneously with locations 08H to 0FH
transmitted in channel A and locations 10H to
17H transmitted in channel B. Figure 5 contains
the buffer memory modes and Figure 14 illustrates the buffer read sequence for mode 2.

Figure 14. CS8401A Buffer Memory Read Sequence - MODE 2
Buffer-Read and Interrupt Timing
As mentioned previously in the buffer mode sections, conflicts between externally writing to the
buffer ram and the CS8401A internally reading
bytes of ram for transmission may be averted by
using the flag levels to avoid the section currently being addressed by the part. Interrupts
occur at flag edges indicating the exact byte that
the part is currently reading. Utilizing INT along
with the flags, the byte currently being read by the
part can be avoided allowing access to all other
bytes instead of just a section. Figure 15 illustrates
the timing between flags, INT, and the internal
reading of the buffer for transmission. The master clock IMCK is shown as 128×Fs. Other
MCK frequencies are initially divided to obtain
128×Fs, defined as IMCK (internal MCK),
which is then used for all internal timing, so the
timing in Figure 15 is valid for all MCK frequencies. When the parity bit (P) is transmitted, a
transition on a flag causes INT to go low if the
appropriate mask bit is set. Concurrently, the part
starts reading from the internal buffer. Writing to
the buffer ram location being read by the part
should be avoided while the internal "ram read"
signal is high.

CS8402A
CS8402A DESCRIPTION
The CS8402A accepts 16- to 24-bit audio samples
through a serial port configured in one of seven formats; provides several pins dedicated to particular
channel status bits; and allows all channel status,
user, and validity bits to be serially input through
port pins. This data is multiplexed, the parity bit is
generated, and the bit stream is biphase-mark encoded and driven through an RS422 line driver.
The CS8402A operates as a professional or consumer interface transmitter selectable by pin 2,
PRO. As a professional interface device, the dedicated channel status input pins are defined according
to the professional standard, and the CRC code (C.S.
byte 23) can be internally generated.
As a consumer device, the dedicated channel
status input pins are defined according to the
consumer standard. A submode provided under
the consumer mode is compact disk, CD, mode.
When transmitting data from a compact disk, the
CD subcode port can accept CD subcode data,
extract channel status information from it, and
transmit it as user data.
The master clock, MCK, controls timing for the entire chip and must be 128×Fs. As an example, if
stereo data is input to the CS8402A at 44.1 kHz,
MCK input must be 128 times that or 5.6448 MHz.
with the I2S standard. Formats 5 and 6 make
the CS8402A look similar to existing 16- and
18-bit DACs, and interpolation filters. Format 7 is an MSB-last format and is conducive
to serial arithmetic. SCK and FSYNC are
outputs in Format 0 and inputs in all other
formats. In Format 2, the rising edge of
FSYNC delineates samples and the falling
edge must occur a minimum of one bit period
before or after the rising edge. In all formats
except 2, FSYNC contains left/right information requiring both edges of FSYNC to
delineate samples. Formats 5 and 6 require a
minimum of 16- or 18-bit audio words respectively. In all formats other than 5 and 6,
the CS8402A can accept any word length
from 16 to 24 bits by adding leading zeros in
format 7 and trailing zeros in the other formats, or by restricting the number of SCK
periods between active edges of FSYNC to
the sample word length.
FSYNC must be derived from MCK, either
through a DSP using the same clock, or using
counters. If FSYNC moves (jitters) with respect
to MCK by four MCK periods, the internal
counters and CBL may be reset. Appendix B
contains more information on the relationship
between FSYNC and MCK.
Audio Serial Port
The audio serial port is used to enter audio data
and consist of three pins: SCK, SDATA, and
FSYNC. SCK clocks in SDATA, which is double
buffered, while FSYNC delineates the audio samples and may indicate the particular channel, left or
right. To support many different interfaces, M2,
M1, and M0 select one of seven different formats
for the serial port. The coding is shown in Table 3
while the formats are shown in Figure 16. Format 0
and 1 are designed to interface with Crystal ADCs.
Format 2 communicates with Motorola and TI
DSPs. Format 3 is reserved. Format 4 is compatible

C, U, V Serial Port
RST and CBL (TRNPT is low)
The serial input pins for channel status (C), user
(U), and validity (V) are sampled during the first
bit period after the active edge of FSYNC for all
formats except Format 4, which is sampled during the second bit period (coincident with the
MSB). In Figure 16, the arrows on SCK indicate
when the C, U, and V bits are sampled. The C,
U, and V bits are transmitted with the audio
sample entered before the FSYNC edge that
sampled it. The V bit, as defined in the audio
standards, is set to zero to indicate the audio data
is suitable for conversion to analog. Therefore,
when the audio data is errorred, or the data is
not audio, the V bit should be set high. The
channel status serial input pin (C) is not available in consumer mode when the CD subcode
port is enabled (FC1 = FC0 = high). Any channel status data entered through the channel status
serial input (C) is logically OR’ed with the data
entered through the dedicated pins or internally
generated.
When RST goes low, the differential line drivers
are set to ground and the block counters are reset
to the beginning of the first block. In order to
properly synchronize the CS8402A to the audio
serial port, the transmit timing counters, which
include CBL, are not enabled after RST goes
high until eight and one half SCK periods after
the active edge (first edge after reset is exited) of
FSYNC. When FSYNC is configured as a
left/right signal (all defined formats except 2),
the counters and CBL are not enabled until the
right sample is being entered (during which the
previous left sample is being transmitted). This
guarantees that channel A is left and channel B
is right as per the digital audio interface specs.
As shown in Figure 17, CBL, channel block start
output, can assist in serially inputting the C, U
and V bits as CBL goes high one bit period before the first bit of the preamble of the first
sub-frame of the channel status block is trans-

mitted. This sub-frame contains channel status
byte 0, bit 0. CBL returns low one bit period before the start of the frame that contains bit 0 of
channel status byte 16. CBL is the exact inverse
of flag 1 in mode 0 on the CS8401 (see Figure 11). CBL is not available when the CD
subcode port is enabled.
Figure 17 illustrates timing for stereo data input
on the audio port. Notice how CBL rises while
the right channel data (Right 0) is input, but the
previous left channel data (Left 0) is being transmitted as the first sub-frame of the channel
status block (starting with preamble Z). The C,
U, and V input ports only need to be valid for a
short period after FSYNC changes. A sub-frame
includes one audio sample while a frame includes a stereo pair. A channel status (C.S.)
block contains 24 bytes of channel status and
384 audio samples (or 192 stereo pairs, or
frames, of samples).
Figure 17 shows the CUV ports as having left
and right bits (e.g. CUV0L, CUV0R). Since the
C.S. block is defined as 192 bits, or one bit per
frame, there are actually 2 C.S. blocks, one for
channel A (left) and one for channel B (right).
When inputting stereo audio data, both blocks
normally contain the same information, so C0L
and C0R from the input port pin are both channel status bit 0 of byte 0, which is defined as
professional/consumer. These first two bits from
the port, C0L and C0R, are logically OR’ed with
the inverse of PRO, since PRO is a dedicated
channel status pin defined as C.S. bit 0. Also, if
in professional mode, C1, C6, C7 and C9 are
dedicated C.S. pins. The inverse of C1 is logically OR’ed with channel status input port bits
C1L and C1R. In similar fashion, C6, C7 and C9
are OR’ed with their respective input bits. Also,
the C bits in CUV128L and CUV128R are both
channel status block bit 128, which is bit 0 of
channel status byte 16.
Transparent Mode
In certain applications it is desirable to receive
digital audio data with the CS8412 and retransmit it with the CS8402A. In this case, channel
status, user and validity information must pass
through unaltered. For studio environments, AES
recommends that signal timing synchronization
be maintained throughout the studio. Frame synchronization of digital audio signals input to and
output from a piece of equipment must be within
±5%.
The transparent mode of the CS8402A is selected by setting TRNPT, pin 24, high. In this
mode, the CBL pin becomes an input, allowing
direct connection of the outputs of the CS8412
to the inputs of the CS8402A as shown in Figure 18. The transmitter and receiver are
synchronized by the FSYNC signal. CBL specifies the start of a new channel status block
boundary, allowing the transmit block structure
to be slaved to the block structure of the receiver. In the transparent mode, C, U, and V are
now transmitted with the current audio sample as
shown in Figure 17 (TRNPT high), and the dedicated channel status pins are ignored. When in
the transparent mode, the propagation delay of
data through the CS8402A is set so that the total
propagation delay from the receive inputs of the
CS8412 to the transmit outputs of the CS8402A
is three frames.

When FSYNC is a word clock (Format 2), CBL
is sampled when left C,U,V are sampled. When
FSYNC is Left/Right, CBL is sampled when left
C,U,V are sampled. The channel status block
boundary is reset when CBL transitions from
low to high (based on two successive samples of
CBL). MCK for the CS8402A is normally expected to be 128 times the sample frequency, in
the transparent mode MCK must be 256 Fs.
Professional Mode
Setting PRO low places the CS8402A in professio nal mo de as shown in Figu re 19. In
professional mode, channel status bit 0 is transmitted as a one and bits 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 9
can be controlled via dedicated pins. The pins
are actually the inverse of the identified bit. For
example, tying the C1 pin low places a one in
channel status bit 1. As shown in the Application
Note, Overview of AES/EBU Digital Audio Interface Data Stru ctu res, C1 indicates
audio/non-audio; C6 and C7 determine the sample frequency; and C9 allows the encoded
channel mode to be stereophonic. EM1 and EM0

shown in Table 4. The dedicated channel status
pins are read at the appropriate time and are
logically OR’ed with data input on the channel
status port, C. In Transparent Mode, these dedicated channel status pins are ignored; and
channel status bits are input at the C pin.
The channel status data cyclic redundancy check
character (C.S. byte 23) is always generated independently for channels A and B and is
transmitted at the end of the channel status
block.
Data should not be input through the channel status
port, C, during the CRCC byte time frame, since inputs on C are logically OR’ed with internally
generated data.
Consumer Mode
Setting PRO high places the CS8402A in consumer
mode which redefines the pins as shown in Figure 20. In consumer mode, channel status bit 0 is
transmitted as a zero and channel status bits 2, 3, 8,
9, 15, 24, and 25 are controlled via dedicated pins.
The pins are actually the inverse of the bit so if pin

C2 is tied high, channel status bit 2 will be transmitted as a zero. Also, FC0 and FC1 are encoded
versions of channel status bits 24 and 25, which
define the sample frequency. When FC0 and FC1
are both high, the part is placed in a CD submode which activates the CD subcode port. This
submode is described in detail in the next section. Table 5 describes the encoding of C24 and
C25 through the FC1 and FC0 pins. According
to AES/EBU standards, C2 is copy prohibit/permit, C3 specifies pre-emphasis, C8 and C9
define the category code, and C15 identifies the
generation status of the transmitted material (i.e..
first generation, second generation).
Consumer - CD Submode
The consumer CD submode is invoked by placing the part in consumer mode (PRO = high) and
setting both FC1 and FC0 high. This mode redefines some of the pins for a CD subcode port as
shown in Figure 21. The CD subcode port pins,
SBF and SBC, replace the C and CBL pins respectively. The user data input, U, becomes the CD
subcode input. Figure 22 describes the timing for
the CD subcode port. When SBF is low, SBC becomes active, clocking in the subcode bits. SBF
goes high for one SCK period, one half SCK period after the active edge of FSYNC for all formats
(except format 4, which will be one and a half
SCK periods after the active edge of FSYNC). SBF
high for more than 16 SBC periods indicates the
start of a subcode block. The first, third, and fourth
Q bits after the start of a subcode block become
channel status bits 5, 2, and 3 respectively. Channel status bits are set by the dedicated pins; the
category code is forced to CD.

Appendix A: RS422 Driver Information
The RS422 drivers on the CS8401A and CS8402A
are designed to drive both the professional and consumer interfaces. The AES/EBU specification for
professional/broadcast use calls for a 110Ω source
impedance and a balanced drive capability. Since the
transmitter impedance is very low, a 110Ω resistor
should be placed in series with one of the transmit
pins. (A 110Ω resistor in parallel with the transformer would, with the receiver impedance of 110Ω,
provide a 55Ω load to the part which is too low.)
The specifications call for a balanced output drive of
2-7 volts peak-to-peak into a 110Ω load with no cable attached. Using the circuit in Figure A1, the
output of the transformer is short-circuit protected,
has the proper source impedance, and provides a
5 volt peak-to-peak signal into a 110Ω load. Lastly,
the two output pins should be attached to an XLR
connector with male pins and a female shell, and
with pin 1 of the connector grounded.

In the case of consumer use, the specifications

shown in Figure A2 only uses the TXP pin and
provides the proper output impedance and drive
level using standard 1% resistors. The connector
for consumer would be an RCA phono socket.
This circuit is also short circuit protected.
The TXP pin may be used to drive TTL or
CMOS gates as shown in Figure A3. This circuit
may be used for optical connectors for digital
audio since they are usually TTL compatible.
This circuit is also useful when driving multiple
digital audio outputs since RS422 line drivers
have TTL interfaces.
The transformer should be capable of operating
from 1.5 to 7 MHz, which is the audio data rate
of 25 kHz to 55 kHz after biphase-mark encoding. Transformers provide isolation from ground
loops, 60 Hz noise, and common mode noise
and interference. One of the important considerations when choosing transformers is minimizing
shunt capacitance between primary and secondary windings. The higher the shunt capacitance,
the lower the isolation between primary and secondary, and the more coupling of high frequency
energy. This energy appears in the form of common mode noise on the receive side ground and
has the potential to degrade analog performance.
Therefore, for best performance, shielded transformers optimized for minimum shunt
capacitance should be used. The following are a
few typical transformers:

Appendix B: MCK and FSYNC Relationship
FSYNC should be derived either directly or indirectly from MCK. The indirect case could be a
DSP, providing FSYNC through its serial port,
using the same master oscillator that generates
MCK. In either case, FSYNC’s relationship to
MCK is fixed and does not move. Since this appendix provides information on what would
happen if FSYNC did move with respect to
MCK, it does not apply to the majority of users.
SDATA
SCK
All internal timing is derived from MCK. On the
CS8402A, MCK is always 128×Fs. On the
CS8401A, the external MCK is programmable
and is initially divided to 128×Fs before being
used by the part. The internal clock IMCK used
in the following discussion is always 128×Fs regardless of the external MCK pin.
After RST, the CS8401A and CS8402A synchronize the internal timing to the audio data
port, more specifically FSYNC, to guarantee that
channel A is left channel data and channel B is
right channel data as per the AES/EBU specification. If FSYNC moves with respect to IMCK,
the transmitter could lose synchronization, which
causes an internal reset.
Figure B1 shows the structure of the serial port
input, to the transmitter output. The audio data is
serially shifted into R1. PLD is an internal signal
that parallel loads R1 into the R2 buffer, and, at
the same time, the C, U, and V bits are latched.
On the CS8401A, the C, U, and V bits are held
in RAM, whereas on the CS8402A, they are
latched from external pins. The PLD signal rises
on the first SCK edge that can latch data. This is
coincident with the latching of the MSB of audio
data in MSB-first, left-justified modes. PLD
stays high for one SCK period. In the CS8402A
section, the arrows on SCK in Figure 16 indicate
when PLD goes high. Also, SBC in the
CS8402A CD submode is an external version of
PLD gated by the SBF input.

Figure B2. Serial Ports-to-Transmitter Timing (slave mode)
When the part is finished transmitting the preamble of a sub-frame, the internal signal LDS rises
to parallel-load R2 into R3 for transmission. After RST, the part synchronizes the audio port to
IMCK as shown in Figure B2. Since PLD is
based on FSYNC and LDS is based on IMCK, if
FSYNC moves with respect to IMCK until PLD
and LDS occur at the same time, the data would
not be properly loaded into R3. If LDS and PLD
overlap, an internal reset is initiated causing the
timing to return to the initial state shown in Figure B2.
