Qualified for automotive applications
The ADAU1966A is a high performance, single-chip digital-toanalog converter (DAC) that provides 16 DACs with differential or
single-ended outputs using the Analog Devices, Inc., patented
multibit sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) architecture. A serial peripheral interface
(SPI)/I2C port is included, allowing a microcontroller to adjust
volume and many other parameters. The ADAU1966A operates
from 2.5 V digital and 3.3 V analog supplies. A linear regulator
is included to generate the digital supply voltage from the analog
supply voltage. The ADAU1966A is available in an 80-lead LQFP.
The ADAU1966A is designed for low EMI. This consideration
is apparent in both the system and circuit design architectures.
By using the on-board PLL to derive the internal master clock from
an external left-right frame clock (LRCLK), the ADAU1966A
can eliminate the need for a separate high frequency master clock
and can be used with or without a bit clock. The DACs are
designed using the latest Analog Devices continuous time
architectures to further minimize EMI. By using 2.5 V digital
supplies, power consumption is minimized, and the digital
waveforms are a smaller amplitude, further reducing emissions.
Note that throughout this data sheet, multifunction pins, such as
SCLK/SCL, are referred to by the entire pin name or by a single
function of the pin, for example, SCLK, when only that function
is relevant.

ADAU1966A
Data Sheet
THEORY OF OPERATION
DACs
The 16 ADAU1966A DAC channels are differential for improved
noise and distortion performance and are voltage output for
simplified connection. The DACs include on-chip digital
interpolation filters with 68 dB stop-band attenuation and linear
phase response, operating at an oversampling ratio of 256×
(48 kHz range), 128× (96 kHz range), or 64× (192 kHz range).
Each channel has its own independently programmable
attenuator, adjustable in 255 steps in increments of 0.375 dB.
Digital inputs are supplied through six serial data input pins
(two channels on each pin), a common frame clock (DLRCLK),
and a bit clock (DBCLK). Alternatively, any one of the time domain
multiplexed (TDM) modes can be used to access up to 16 channels
on a single TDM data line.
The ADAU1966A has a low propagation delay mode; this
mode is an option for an fS of 192 kHz and is enabled in Register
DAC_CTRL0[2:1]. By setting these bits to 0b11, the propagation
delay is reduced by the amount listed in Table 6. The shorter delay
is achieved by reducing the amount of digital filtering; the negative
impact of selecting this mode is reduced audio frequency response
and increased out-of-band energy.
power consumption with the trade-off of lower SNR and THD + N.
The reduced power consumption is the result of changing the
internal bias current to the analog output amplifiers.
Register DAC_POWER1 to Register DAC_POWER4 present four
basic settings for the DAC power vs. performance in each of the
16 channels: best performance, good performance, low power, and
lowest power. Alternatively, in Register PLL_CLK_CTRL1[7:6], the
LOPWR_MODE bits offer global control over the power and
performance for all 16 channels. To select the low power or
lowest power settings, set Bit 7 and Bit 6 of the DAC_POWERx
registers to 0b10 or 0b11, respectively. The default setting is 0b00.
This setting allows the channels to be controlled individually
using the DAC_POWERx registers. The data presented in Table 11
shows the result of setting all 16 channels to each of the four
settings. The SNR and THD + N specifications are shown in
relation to the measured performance of a device at the best
performance setting.
The voltage at CM, the common-mode reference pin, can be
used to bias the external op amps that buffer the output signals
(see the Power Supply and Voltage Reference section).
CLOCK SIGNALS
Because AVDDx is supplied with 3.3 V, each analog output pin
has a nominal common-mode (CM) dc level of 1.5 V. With a 0 dB
full-scale digital input signal, each pin swings approximately
±1.42 V peak (2.83 V p-p and 2 V rms). Therefore, the voltage
swing differentially across the two pins is 5.66 V p-p (4 V rms). The
differential analog outputs require a single-order passive differential
resistor-capacitor (RC) filter only to provide the specified DNR
performance; see Figure 10 or Figure 11 for an example filter. The
outputs can easily drive differential inputs on a separate printed
circuit board (PCB) through cabling as well as differential inputs
on the same PCB.
Upon powering the ADAU1966A and asserting the PU/RST pin
high, the part starts in either standalone mode (SA_MODE) or
program mode, depending on the state of SA_MODE (Pin 46).
The clock functionality of SA_MODE is described in the
Standalone Mode section.
If more signal level is required, or if a more robust filter is needed,
a single op amp gain stage designed as a second-order, low-pass
Bessel filter can be used to remove the high frequency out-ofband noise present on each pin of the differential outputs. The
choice of components and design of this circuit is critical to yield
the full DNR of the DACs (see the recommended passive and
active circuits in Figure 10, Figure 11, Figure 12, and Figure 13).
The differential filter can be built into an active difference amplifier
to provide a single-ended output with gain, if necessary. Note that
the use of op amps with low slew rate or low bandwidth can cause
high frequency noise and tones to fold down into the audio
band; exercise care when selecting these components.
The MCLKO pin can be programmed to provide different clock
signals using Register PLL_CLK_CTRL1[5:4]. The default, 0b10,
provides a buffered copy of the clock signal that is driving the
MCLKI pin. Two modes, 0b00 and 0b01, provide low jitter clock
signals.
The ADAU1966A offers control over the analog performance
of the DACs; it is possible to program the registers to reduce the
In program mode, the default for the ADAU1966A is for the
MCLKO pin to feed a buffered output of the MCLKI signal on
the MCLKI/XTALI pin. The default for the DLRCLK and DBCLK
ports is slave mode; the DAC must be driven with a coherent set
of master clock, frame clock, and bit clock signals to function.
The b00 setting yields a clock rate between 4 MHz and 6 MHz,
and the b01 setting yields a clock rate between 8 MHz and 12 MHz.
Both of these clock frequencies are scaled as ratios of the master
clock automatically inside the ADAU1966A. As an example, an
input to MCLKI of 8.192 MHz and a setting of 0b00 yield an
MCLKO of (8.192/2) = 4.096 MHz. Alternatively, an input to
MCLKI of 36.864 MHz and a setting of 0b01 yield an MCLKO
frequency of (36.864/3) = 12.288 MHz. The 0b11 setting disables
the MCLKO pin.

Data Sheet
ADAU1966A
After the PU/RST pin is asserted high, the PLL_CLK_CTRLx
registers (Register 0x00 and Register 0x01) can be programmed.
The on-chip PLL can be selected to use the clock appearing at the
MCLKI/XTALI pin at a frequency of 256, 384, 512, or 768 times
the sample rate (fS), referenced to the 48 kHz mode from the
master clock select (MCS) setting, as described in Table 12.
In 96 kHz mode, the master clock frequency stays at the same
absolute frequency; therefore, the actual multiplication rate is
divided by 2. In 192 kHz mode, the actual multiplication rate is
divided by 4.
For example, if the ADAU1966A is programmed in 256 × fS
mode, the frequency of the master clock input is 256 × 48 kHz =
12.288 MHz. If the ADAU1966A is then switched to 96 kHz
operation (by writing to DAC_CTRL0[2:1]), the frequency of the
master clock remains at 12.288 MHz, which is an MCS ratio of
128 × fS in this example. Therefore, in 192 kHz mode, MCS
becomes 64 × fS. The internal clock for the digital core varies
by mode: 512 × fS (48 kHz mode), 256 × fS (96 kHz mode), or
128 × fS (192 kHz mode). By default, the on-board PLL generates
this internal master clock from an external clock.
The PLL must be powered and stable before using the
ADAU1966A as a source for quality audio. The PLL is enabled
by reset and does not require writing to the I2C or SPI port for
normal operation.
With the PLL enabled, the performance of the ADAU1966A is
not affected by jitter as high as a 300 ps rms time interval error
(TIE). When the internal PLL is disabled, use an independent
crystal oscillator to generate the master clock.
When using the ADAU1966A in direct master clock mode, power
down the PLL in the PDN_THRMSENS_CTRL_1 register. For
direct master clock mode, a frequency of 512 × fS (referenced to
48 kHz mode) must be fed into the MCLKI pin, and the CLK_SEL
bit in the PLL_CLK_CTRL1 register must be set to 1. However,
for the device to function, 2.5 V power must be connected to
the PLLVDD pin.
The PLL of the ADAU1966A can also be programmed to run
from an external LRCLK without an external master clock. Setting
the PLLIN bits in the PLL_CLK_CTRL0 register to 0b01 and
connecting the appropriate loop filter to the LF pin (see Figure 8),
the ADAU1966A PLL generates all of the necessary internal
clocks for operation with no external master clock. This mode
reduces the number of high frequency signals in the design,
reducing EMI emissions.
It is possible to further reduce EMI emissions of the circuit by
using the internal bit clock generation setting of the BCLK_GEN
bit in the DAC_CTRL1 register. Setting the BCLK_GEN bit to 1
(internal) and the SAI_MS bit to 0 (slave), the ADAU1966A
generates its own bit clock; this configuration works with the
PLL input register (PLL_CLK_CTRL0[7:6]) set to either
MCLKI/XTALI or DLRCLK. The clock on the DLRCLK pin
is the only required clock in DLRCLK PLL mode.

POWER-UP AND RESET
The power sequencing for the ADAU1966A begins with AVDDx
and IOVDD, followed by DVDD. It is very important that AVDDx
be settled at a regulated voltage and that IOVDD be within 10% of
regulated voltage before applying DVDD. When using the internal
regulator of the ADAU1966A, this timing occurs by default.
To guarantee proper startup, pull the PU/RST pin low by an
external resistor and then drive it high after the power supplies
have stabilized. The PU/RST can also be pulled high using a
simple RC network.
When both SA_MODE (Pin 46) and SS/ADDR0/SA (Pin 45) are
set high, TDM mode is selected. Table 14 shows the available
TDM modes; these modes are set by connecting Pin 31 (SA1) and
Pin 32 (SA2) to GND or IOVDD.
