and a continuous-time voltage out analog section. Each
DAC has independent volume control and clickless mute
functions. The ADC comprises two 24-bit conversion channels
with multibit sigma-delta modulators and decimation filters.
The AD1839 also contains an on-chip reference with a nominal
value of 2.25 V.
The AD1839 contains a flexible serial interface that allows for
glueless connection to a variety of DSP chips, AES/EBU receiv-
ers, and sample rate converters. The AD1839 can be
configured in Left-Justified, Right-Justified, I
patible serial modes. Control of the AD1839 is acheived by
means of an SPI-compatible serial port. While the AD1839 can
be operated from a single 5 V supply, it also features a separate
supply pin for its digital interface which allows the device to be
interfaced to other devices using 3.3 V power supplies.
The AD1839 is available in a 52-Lead MQFP package and is
specified for the industrial temperature range of –40ºC to +85ºC.
FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
ADCs
There are two ADC channels in the AD1839, configured as a
stereo pair. Each ADC has fully differential inputs. The
ADC section can operate at a sample rate of up to 96 kHz. The
ADCs include on-board digital decimation filters with 120 dB stop
band attenuation and linear phase response, operating at an
oversampling ratio of 128 (for 48 kHz operation) or 64 (for 96
kHz operation).
ADC peak level information for each ADC may be read
from the ADC Peak 0 and ADC Peak 1 registers. The data is
supplied as a 6-bit word with a maximum range of 0 dB to –63
dB and a resolution of 1 dB. The registers will hold peak infor-
mation until read; after reading, the registers are reset so that
new peak information can be acquired. Refer to the register
description for details of the format. The two ADC channels
have a common serial bit clock and a left-right framing
clock. The clock signals are all synchronous with the sample
rate.
The ADC digital pins, ABCLK and ALRCLK, can be set to
operate as inputs or outputs by connecting the
ODVDD or DGND respectively. When the pins are set as
outputs, the AD1839 will generate the timing signals. When
the pins are set as inputs, the timing must be generated by the
external audio controller.
DACs
The AD1839 has six DAC channels arranged as three inde-
pendent stereo pairs, with six single ended analog outputs.
Each channel has its own independently programmable at-
tenuator, adjustable in 1024 linear steps. Digital inputs are
supplied through three serial data input pins (one for each
stereo pair) and a common frame (DLRCLK) and bit
(DBLCK) clock. Alternatively, one of the “packed data”
modes may be used to access all six channels on a single TDM
data pin. A Stereo Replicate feature is included where the DAC
data sent to the first DAC pair is also sent to the other
DACs in the part. The AD1839 can accept DAC data at a
sample rate of 192 kHz on DAC 1 only. The stereo repli-

cate feature can then be used to copy the audio data to the
other DACs.
Each of the output pins sits at a dc level of V
±1.4 V for a 0 dB digital input signal. A single op amp third-
order external low-pass filter is recommended to remove
high-frequency noise present on the output pins. Note that the
use of op amps with low slew rate or low bandwidth may cause
high-frequency noise and tones to fold down into the audio
band; care should be exercised in selecting these components.
The FILTD pin should be connected to an external grounded
capacitor. This pin is used to reduce the noise of the internal
DAC bias circuitry, thereby reducing the DAC output noise. In
some cases this capacitor may be eliminated with little effect on
performance.
DAC and ADC Coding
The DAC and ADC output data stream is in a two’s comple-
ment encoded format. The word width can be selected from
16-bit, 20-bit, or 24-bit. The coding scheme is detailed in
Table I.

Clock Signals
The DAC and ADC engines in the AD1839 are designed to
operate from a 24.576 MHz Internal Master Clock (IMCLK).
This clock is used to generate 48 kHz and 96 kHz sampling on
the ADC and 48 kHz, 96 kHz and 192 kHz on the DAC,
although the 192 kHz option is only available on one DAC
pair. The Stereo Replicate feature can be used to copy this
DAC data to the other DACs if required.
To facilitate the use of different MCLK values the AD1839
provides a clock scaling feature. The MCLK scaler can be
programmed via the SPI port to scale the MCLK by a factor of
1 (passthrough), 2 (doubling), or scaling by a factor of 2/3. The
default setting of the MCLK scaler is 2, which will generate
48 kHz sampling from a 12.288 MHz MCLK. Additional
sample rates can be achieved by changing the MCLK value.
For example, the CD standard sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz
can be achieved using an 11.2896 kHz MCLK. Figure 2 shows
the internal configuration of the clock scaler and converter en-
gines.
To maintain the highest performance possible, it is recommended
that the clock jitter of the master clock signal be limited to less
than 300 ps rms, measured using the edge-to-edge technique.
Even at these levels, extra noise or tones may appear in the
DAC outputs if the jitter spectrum contains large spectral
peaks. It is highly recommended that the master clock be gen-
erated by an independent crystal oscillator. In addition, it is
especially important that the clock signal should not be passed
through an FPGA or other large digital chip before being
applied to the AD1839. In most cases this will induce clock
jitter due to the fact that the clock signal is sharing common
power and ground connections with other unrelated digital
output signals.
