Bass
The bass control can be set to a selection of corner
frequencies:
These corner frequencies are stated for a nominal
44.1kHz sampling frequency. If the sampling frequency
is altered then the corner frequency is automatically
adjusted. Once selected then the bass control can be
set to either cut or boost with gain from 0dB up to 15dB
in 1dB steps.
Treble
The treble control can be set to a selection of corner
frequencies:
These corner frequencies are stated for a nominal
44.1kHz sampling frequency. If the sampling frequency
is altered then the corner frequency is automatically
adjusted. Once selected then the treble control can be
set to either cut or boost with gain from 0dB up to 15dB
in 1dB steps.
Master clock
Essential to the performance of the system is the
provision of a low jitter clock to the ZXCW8100 device,
a jitter of less than +/-1ns is required. As well as low
jitter the master clock needs to be a consistent mark to
space ratio. This master clock is generated from the
external audio system, consistency needs to be better
than 3ns with a 33MHz master clock.
The relationship between the master clock and the
word clock provided with the audio data input
determines the device speed and oversampling rate for
the ZTA filters and the Noise shaper/PWM drive. The
master clock is a nominal 33.8688MHz for a 44.1kHz fs
(sampling rate) with 768 times oversampling.

ZTA filters
The ZTA filters use the proprietary ZTA algorithm to
perform up to 48 times digital filtering. The speed
mode of the device selects the oversampling
performed:
In addition to providing state of the art out of band
noise performance, the ZTA filter gives superior
transient resolution, which improves sound stage
imaging, timing, focus and bass definition.
Noise shaper & PWM drive
The noise shaper effectively offers continuous
feedback to the system. It enables removal of any dead
time distortion and enables the drive to the PWM FET
switching. Switching distortions are also removed by
the noise shaper.
The noise shaper over samples by 16 x the
over-sampling rate of the ZTA filters.
The PWM output converts the noise shaper output into
four PWM drive lines per channel. These output lines,
suitably buffered, drive a full MOSFET H-bridge. The
output is configured as a bridge tied load. Each of the
four output lines drives N and Pchannel MOSFETpairs.
The effective PWM frequency is up to 2MHz,
significantly faster than alternative solutions. This high
frequency allows for greater resolution and enables
lower noise and distortion figures to be achieved. The
PWM output can be utilized either with or without dead
time enabled.
Two different modulation schemes are available,
known as HPWM and RPWM, these two schemes have
different strengths that the user can take advantage of
as they are selectable through the SPI interface.
Accompanying the two PWM schemes is the ability to
select one of two switching frequencies to help attain
the best performance from the PWM scheme and
output stage combination.
HPWM is a conventional digital PWM strategy that is to
be found in current applications. The two frequencies
of operation are 1.058MHz, derived from 24 times the
44.1kHz sampling frequency, and 2.116MHz (48 times
44.1kHz).
