Clocking

In order to ensure proper operation of the CS8421, the clock or crystal attached to XTI must simultaneous-

ly satisfy the requirements of LRCK for both the input and output as follows:

•

If the input is set to master, Fsi

≤ XTI/128 and Fso ≤ XTI/130.

•

If the output is set to master, Fso

≤ XTI/128 and Fsi ≤ XTI/130.

•

If both input and output are set to slave, XTI

≥ 130*[maximum(Fsi,Fso)], XTI/Fsi < 3750, and XTI/Fso <

3750.

Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) Mode

TDM Mode allows several CS8421 to be serially connected together allowing their corresponding SDOUT

data to be multiplexed onto one line for input into a DSP or other TDM-capable multichannel device.

The CS8421 can operate in two TDM modes. The first mode consists of all of the CS8421’s output ports set

to slave, as shown in Figure 13. The second mode consists of one CS8421 output port set to master and

the remaining CS8421’s output ports set to slave, as shown in Figure 14.

The TDM_IN pin is used to input the data, while the SDOUT pin is used to output the data. The first CS8421

in the chain should have its TDM_IN set to GND. Data is transmitted from SDOUT most significant bit first

on the first OSCLK falling edge after an OLRCK transition and is valid on the rising edge of OSCLK.

In TDM Slave Mode, the number of channels that can by multiplexed to one serial data line depends on the

output sampling rate. For Slave Mode, OSCLK must operate at N*64*Fso, where N is the number of

CS8421’s connected together. The maximum allowable OSCLK frequency is 24.576 MHz, so for Fso =

48 kHz, N = 8 (16 channels of serial audio data).

In TDM Master Mode, OSCLK operates at 256*Fso, which is equivalent to N = 4, so a maximum of 8 chan-

nels of digital audio can be multiplexed together. Note that for TDM Master Mode, MCLK must be at least

256*Fso, where Fso

≤ 96 kHz. OLRCK identifies the start of a new frame. Each time-slot is 32-bits wide,

with the valid data sample left-justified within the time-slot. Valid data lengths are 16-, 20-, 24- or 32-bits.

Figures 11 and 12 show the interface format for Master and Slave TDM Modes with a 32-bit word-length.
