Digital Audio Interface Receiver (DIR)

Up to 12 single-ended S/PDIF input pins are available on the PCM9211 DIR module. Two of the 12 S/PDIF inputs integrate coaxial amplifiers; the other inputs are designed to be directly connected to CMOS sources (up to 5 V), or standard S/PDIF optical modules.

The DIR module outputs the first 48 bits of channel status data from each frame into specific registers that can be read via the control interface. In addition, the DIR can detect non-PCM data (such as compressed multi-channel data) by looking at channel status bits, burst preambles and DTS-CD/LD. When the DIR detects non-PCM audio data, its status can be configured to the NPCM pin (pin 2). Control of pin 2 (NPCM or INT1) is set by register 2Bh.

When the DIR encounters an error (for example, when it loses a lock), an error signal can be configured and sent to the ERROR pin (pin 1). Control of pin 1 (ERROR or Int0) is set by Register 20h. Preamble data PC and PD (typically used to transmit format information such as Digital Theater Sound, or DTS, or AC-3™ data) can be read from registers Register 3Ah through Register 3Dh. For more information, see the audio data standard IEC61937.

The PCM9211 has two interrupt pins (INT0 and INT1) that are shared with other functions (NPCM and ERROR). The interrupt pins, when configured, can be used for operations such as interrupt transmissions to the DSP (for example, instructing the DSP where the start of the frame is, etc.). Eight different factors can drive the interrupt. For more details, see Register 2Ch and Register 2Dh. The interrupt source can also be stored in a register to be read by a DSP, if required.

When switching from one source to the DIR and vice-versa, additional circuitry in the DIR helps continuity between the crystal clock source and an internal phase-locked loop (PLL). During a clock source switch, a clock transition signal can be output that can then be used by the processor to respond accordingly (such as temporarily muting the output).

An integrated sample rate calculator in the DIR can read and detect both the incoming data rate of the S/PDIF input as well as the sample rate information bits that are within the channel status data.

The PCM9211 has an internal clock divider that changes its system clock (SCK) output rate in order to maintain synchronization between the incoming clock and the receiver (based on the autodetector of the incoming data rate). For example, if the user switches from a 96-kHz source to a 48-kHz source, the divider automatically detects the switch and changes the clock dividing ratio to make sure that the subsequent DSP continues to receive the same system clock.

The PCM9211 also has two output ports for the DIR output. The primary output is available from the Main Port and/or MPIO_B; the secondary port is available through MPIO_A. The dividing ratio of BCK and LRCK for the primary output is defined by the DIR. The dividing ratio for the second output (normally taken from MPIO_A) is defined by Register 32h and Register 33h.

When the PLL is locked, the secondary clock source automatically selects the PLL clock (256fS). Otherwise, the XTI clock source is selected. Register 32h should be used for dividing in the lock status (that is, the PLL source). When unlocked, Register 33h should be used (the XTI source).

The PCM9211 has two RECOUT signals that can be routed to the MPO port. The respective sources can be drawn from one of the 12 S/PDIF inputs, or the DIT module.

Channel status, user data, and valid audio data from the S/PDIF stream can be found in various registers or routed to MPIO pins. In addition, the block start signal can be routed to an I/O pin, so that any postprocessing DSP can be informed of the start of a frame for decoding data and so forth.

The DIR module in the PCM9211 complies with these digital audio I/F standards:

  • S/PDIF
  • IEC60958 (formerly IEC958)
  • JEITA CPR-1205 (formerly EIAJ CP-1201/340)
  • AES3
  • EBU Tech 3250 (also known as AES/EBU)

In addition, the DIR Module within the PCM9211 also meets and exceeds jitter tolerance specifications defined by IEC60958-3 for sampling frequencies between 28 kHz and 216 kHz.
