Qualified for automotive applications
The ADAU1966 is a high performance, single-chip DAC that
provides 16 digital-to-analog converters (DACs) with differential output using the Analog Devices, Inc., patented multibit
sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) architecture. An SPI/I2C port is included,
allowing a microcontroller to adjust volume and many other
parameters. The ADAU1966 operates from 2.5 V digital, 5 V
analog and 3.3 V or 5 V input/output supplies. A linear regulator
is included to generate the digital supply voltage from the analog
supply voltage. The ADAU1966 is available in an 80-lead LQFP
package.
The ADAU1966 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 LRCLK, the ADAU1966 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.

ADAU1966
THEORY OF OPERATION
DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTERS (DACS)
The 16 ADAU1966 digital-to-analog converter (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 eight serial data
input pins (two channels on each pin), a common frame clock
(DLRCLK), and a bit clock (DBCLK). Alternatively, any one of the
TDM modes can be used to access up to 16 channels on a single
TDM data line.
The ADAU1966 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 b11, the propagation delay
is reduced by the amount shown 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.
When AVDD is supplied with 5 V, each analog output pin has a
nominal common-mode (CM) dc level of 2.25 V and swings
±2.12 V above and below the 2.25 V for a for a 1.5 V rms signal
on each pin. Differentially, the signal is 3 V rms, 8.48 V p-p,
from a 0 dBFS digital input signal.
The differential analog outputs require only a single-order
passive differential RC filter to provide the specified DNR
performance; see Figure 9 for an example filter. The outputs can
easily drive differential inputs on a separate PCB through
cabling as well as differential inputs on the same PCB.
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 9 and Figure 10). This 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 ADAU1966 offers control over the analog performance
of the DACs; it is possible to program the registers to reduce
the 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. The default
setting is b00. This setting allows the channels to be controlled
individually using the DAC_POWERx registers. Setting b10
and Setting b11 select the low power and lowest power settings.
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
Upon powering the ADAU1966 and asserting the PU/RST pin
high, the device 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. In program mode, the default for the
ADAU1966 is for the MCLKO pin to feed a buffered output of
the MCLKI signal. The default for the DLRCLK and DBCLK
ports is slave mode; the DAC must be driven with a coherent set
of MCLK, LRCLK, and BCLK signals to function.
The MCLKO pin can be programmed to provide different clock
signals using Register Bits PLL_CLK_CTRL1[5:4]. The default,
b10, provides a buffered copy of the clock signal that is driving
the MCLKI pin. Two modes, b00 and b01, provide low jitter
clock signals. The b00 setting yields a clock rate between 4 MHz
and 6 MHz, and b01 yields a clock rate between 8 MHz and
12 MHz. Both of these clock frequencies are scaled as ratios of
MCLK automatically inside the ADAU1966. As an example, an
MCLK of 8.192 MHz and a setting of b00 yield an MCLKO of
(8.192/2) = 4.096 MHz. Alternatively, an MCLK of 36.864 MHz
and a setting of b01 yield an MCLKO frequency of (36.864/3) =
12.288 MHz. The setting b11 shuts off the MCLKO pin.

Data Sheet
After the PU/RST pin has been asserted high, the PLL_CLK_
CTRLx registers (Register 0x00 and Register 0x01) can be
programmed. The on-chip phase-locked loop (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 ADAU1966 is programmed in 256 × fS mode,
the frequency of the master clock input is 256 × 48 kHz =
12.288 MHz. If the ADAU1966 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 128 × fS in this
example. In 192 kHz mode, MCS becomes 64 × fS.
bit in the DAC_CTRL1 register. With the BCLK_GEN bit set to
b1 (internal) and the SAI_MS bit set to b0 (slave), the ADAU1966
generate its own DBCLK; this works with the PLL input set to
either MCLKI/XTALI or DLRCLK. DLRCLK is the only required
clock in DLRCLK PLL mode.
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.
Driving the PU/RST pin low puts the device into a very low power
state (
