DESCRIPTION
The PCM1608 is a CMOS, monolithic integrated
circuit that features eight 24-bit audio digital-to-analog
converters (DACs) and support circuitry in a small
LQFP-48 package. The DACs use Texas Instruments'
enhanced multilevel, delta-sigma architecture that
employs fourth-order noise shaping and 8-level amplitude quantization to achieve excellent signal-to-noise
performance and a high tolerance to clock jitter.
The PCM1608 accepts industry-standard audio data
formats with 16- to 24-bit audio data. Sampling rates
up to 200 kHz (channels 1, 2, 7, and 8) or 100 kHz
(channels 3, 4, 5, and 6) are supported. A full set of
user-programmable functions is accessible through a
4-wire serial control port that supports register write
and read functions.
Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of Texas
Instruments semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated
circuits be handled with appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation
procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision
integrated circuits may be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could
cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

SYSTEM CLOCK AND RESET FUNCTIONS
SYSTEM CLOCK INPUT
The PCM1608 requires a system clock for operating the digital interpolation filters and multilevel delta-sigma
modulators. The system clock is applied at the SCKI input (pin 38). Table 1 shows examples of system clock
frequencies for common audio sampling rates.
Figure 19 shows the timing requirements for the system clock input. For optimal performance, it is important to
use a clock source with low phase jitter and noise. The PLL170x multiclock generator from Texas Instruments is
an excellent choice for providing the PCM1608 system clock.
The 192-kHz sampling frequency operation is available on DATA1 for VOUT1 and VOUT2 and on DATA4 for VOUT7
and VOUT8. It is recommended that VOUT3, VOUT4, VOUT5, and VOUT6 be disabled when operating with
fS = 192 kHz. This can be done by setting the DAC3, DAC4, DAC5, and DAC6 bits of register 8 to a logic-1 state.

SYSTEM CLOCK OUTPUT
A buffered version of the system clock input is available at the SCKO output (pin 39). SCKO can operate at
either full (fSCKI) or half (fSCKI/2) rate. The SCKO output frequency can be programmed using the CLKD bit of
register 9. The SCKO output pin can also be enabled or disabled using the CLKE bit of register 9. If the SCKO
output is not required, it is recommended to disable it using the CLKE bit. The default is SCKO enabled.

POWER-ON AND EXTERNAL RESET FUNCTIONS
The PCM1608 includes a power-on-reset function, as shown in Figure 20. With the system clock active, and VDD
> 2 V (typical, 1.6 V to 2.4 V), the power-on-reset function is enabled. The initialization sequence requires 1024
system clocks from the time VDD > 2 V. After the initialization period, the PCM1608 is set to its reset default
state, as described in the Mode Control Registers section of this data sheet.
The PCM1608 also includes an external reset capability using the RST input (pin 37). This allows an external
controller or master reset circuit to force the PCM1608 to initialize to its reset default state. For normal operation,
RST should be set to a logic-1.
The external reset operation and timing is shown in Figure 21. The RST pin is set to logic-0 for a minimum of
20 ns. After the initialization sequence is completed, the PCM1608 is set to its reset default state, as described in
the Mode Control Registers section of this data sheet.
During the reset period (1024 system clocks), the analog outputs are forced to the bipolar zero level (or VCC/2).
After the reset period, the internal registers are initialized in the next 1/fS period and, if SCKI, BCK, and LRCK
are provided continuously, the PCM1608 provides proper analog output with the group delay time given in the
Electrical Characteristics section of this data sheet.
The external reset is especially useful in applications where there is a delay between PCM1608 power-up and
system-clock activation. In this case, the RST pin should be held at a logic-0 level until the system clock has
been activated.

AUDIO SERIAL INTERFACE
The audio serial interface for the PCM1608 consists of a 5-wire synchronous serial port. It includes LRCK
(pin 41), BCK (pin 40), DATA1 (pin 45), DATA2 (pin 46), DATA3 (pin 47), and DATA4 (pin 31). BCK is the serial
audio bit clock, and is used to clock the serial data present on DATA1, DATA2, DATA3, and DATA4 into the
audio interface serial shift register. Serial data is clocked into the PCM1608 on the rising edge of BCK. LRCK is
the serial audio left/right word clock. It is used to latch serial data into the serial audio interface internal registers.
Both LRCK and BCK must be synchronous to the system clock. Ideally, it is recommended that LRCK and BCK
be derived from the system clock input, SCKI. LRCK is operated at the sampling frequency (fS). BCK can be
operated at 32, 48, or 64 times the sampling frequency (I2S format does not support BCK = 32 fS).
Internal operation of the PCM1608 is synchronized with LRCK. Accordingly, internal operation of the device is
suspended when the sampling rate clock (LRCK) is changed, or when SCKI and/or BCK is interrupted at least for
a 3-bit clock cycle. If SCKI, BCK, and LRCK are provided continuously after this suspended state, the internal
operation is resynchronized automatically within a period of less than 3/fS. During this resynchronization period
and for a 3/fS time thereafter, the analog outputs are forced to the bipolar zero level, VCC/2. External resetting is
not required.
AUDIO DATA FORMATS AND TIMING
The PCM1608 supports industry-standard audio data formats, including standard, I2S, and left-justified (see
Figure 22). Data formats are selected using the format bits, FMT[2:0], in register 9. The default data format is
24-bit standard. All formats require binary 2s complement, MSB-first audio data. See Figure 23 for a detailed
timing diagram of the serial audio interface.
DATA1, DATA2, DATA3, and DATA4 each carry two audio channels, designated as the left and right channels.
The left-channel data always precedes the right-channel data in the serial data stream for all data formats.
Table 2 shows the mapping of the digital input data to the analog output pins.

SERIAL CONTROL INTERFACE
The serial control interface is a 4-wire synchronous serial port that operates asynchronously to the serial audio
interface. The serial control interface is used to program and read the on-chip mode registers. The control
interface includes MDO (pin 33), MDI (pin 34), MC (pin 35), and ML (pin 36). MDO is the serial data output, used
to read back the values of the mode registers; MDI is the serial data input, used to program the mode registers;
MC is the serial bit clock, used to shift data in and out of the control port; and ML is the control port latch clock.
REGISTER WRITE OPERATION
All write operations for the serial control port use 16-bit data words. Figure 24 shows the control data word
format. The most significant bit is the read/write (R/W) bit. When set to 0, this bit indicates a write operation.
Seven bits, labeled IDX[6:0], set the register index (or address) for the write operation. The least significant eight
bits, D[7:0], contain the data to be written to the register specified by IDX[6:0].
Figure 25 shows the functional timing diagram for writing to the serial control port. ML is held at a logic-1 state
until a register is to be written. To start the register write cycle, ML is set to logic-0. Sixteen clocks are then
provided on MC, corresponding to the 16 bits of the control data word on MDI. After the sixteenth clock cycle has
completed, ML is set to logic-1 to latch the data into the indexed mode control register.

Figure 25. Write Operation Timing
SINGLE REGISTER READ OPERATION
Read operations use the 16-bit control word format shown in Figure 24. For read operations, the R/W bit is set
to 1. Read operations ignore the index bits, IDX[6:0], of the control data word. Instead, the REG[6:0] bits in
control register 11 are used to set the index of the register that is to be read during the read operation. Bits
IDX[6:0] should be set to 00h for read operations.
The details of the read operation are shown in Figure 26. First, control register 11 must be written with the index
of the register to be read back. Additionally, the INC bit must be set to logic-0 in order to disable the
auto-increment read function. The read cycle is then initiated by setting ML to logic-0 and setting the R/W bit of
the control data word to logic-1, indicating a read operation. MDO remains in a high-impedance state until the
last eight bits of the 16-bit read cycle, which correspond to the eight data bits of the register indexed by the
REG[6:0] bits of control register 11. The read cycle is completed when ML is set to 1, immediately after the MC
clock cycle for the least-significant bit of the indexed control register has completed.

In single-register read (INC = 0), the index which indicates the resister to be read in read operation can be set by
REG[6:0] in register 11. For example, setting REG[6:0] = 000 1001b means reading from register 9.
In auto-increment read (INC = 1), the index REG[6:0] indicates the first register to be read. For example, setting
REG[6:0] = 000 1001b means reading registers from 9 to Y. Y is determined by the low-to-high transition of ML in
serial mode control.
Figure 26. Read Operation Timing
AUTO-INCREMENT READ OPERATION
The auto-increment read function allows for multiple registers to be read sequentially. The auto-increment read
function is enabled by setting the INC bit of control register 11 to 1. The sequence always starts with the register
indexed by the REG[6:0] bits in control register 11, and ends by the ML setting to 1 after MC clock cycle for the
least-significant bit of last register.
19
PCM1608
www.ti.com
SBAS164B – DECEMBER 2000 – REVISED JULY 2005
Figure 26 shows the timing of the auto-increment read operation. The operation begins by writing control register
11, setting INC to 1, and setting REG[6:0] to the first register to be read in the sequence. The actual read
operation starts on the next HIGH-to-LOW transition of the ML pin.
The read cycle starts by setting the R/W bit of the control word to 1, and setting all of the IDX[6:0] bits to 0. All
subsequent bits input on MDI are ignored while ML is set to 0. For the first eight clocks of the read cycle, MDO is
set to the high-impedance state. This is followed by a sequence of 8-bit words, each corresponding to the data
contained in control registers N through Y, where N is defined by the REG[6:0] bits in control register 11, and
where Y is the last register to be read. The read cycle is completed when ML is set to 1, immediately after the
MC clock cycle for the least-significant bit of the last register has completed. If ML is held low and the MC clock
continues beyond the last physical register (register 19), the read operation returns to control register 1 and
subsequent control registers, continuing until ML is set to 1.
CONTROL INTERFACE TIMING REQUIREMENTS
Figure 27 shows a detailed timing diagram for the serial control interface. Pay special attention to the setup and
hold times, as well as t(MLS) and t(MLH), which define minimum delays between the edges of the ML and MC
clocks. These timing parameters are critical for proper control-port operation.

R/W – Read/Write Mode Select
When R/W = 0, a write operation is performed.
When R/W = 1, a read operation is performed.
Default value: 0
ATx[7:0] – Digital Attenuation Level Setting
where x = 1 through 8, corresponding to the DAC output VOUTx.
These bits are read/write.
Default value: 1111 1111b
Each DAC output, VOUT1 through VOUT8, includes a digital attenuator function. The attenuation level can be set
from 0 dB to –63 dB in 0.5-dB steps. Changes in attenuation levels are made by incrementing or decrementing
by one step (0.5 dB) for every 8/fS time interval until the programmed attenuator setting is reached. Alternatively,
the attenuation level can be set to infinite attenuation, or mute.
The attenuation level is calculated using the following formula:
Attenuation level (dB) = 0.5 (ATx[7:0]DEC – 255)
where ATx[7:0]DEC = 0 through 255.
For ATx[7:0]DEC = 0 through 128, the attenuator is set to infinite attenuation.
The following table shows attenuation levels for various settings.

Where x = 1 through 8, corresponding to the DAC output VOUTx.
These bits are read/write.
Default value: 0

Mute disabled (default)
MUTx = 1
Mute enabled
The mute bits, MUT1 through MUT8, are used to enable or disable the soft mute function for the corresponding
DAC outputs, VOUT1 through VOUT8. The soft mute function is incorporated into the digital attenuators. When
mute is disabled (MUTx = 0), the attenuator and DAC operate normally. When mute is enabled by setting
MUTx = 1, the digital attenuator for the corresponding output is decreased from the current setting to the infinite
attenuation setting, one attenuator step (0.5 dB) at a time. This provides a quiet, pop-free muting of the DAC
output. On returning from soft mute, by setting MUTx = 0, the attenuator is increased one step at a time to the
previously programmed attenuation level.

SBAS164B – DECEMBER 2000 – REVISED JULY 2005
ANALOG OUTPUTS
The PCM1608 includes eight independent output channels, VOUT1 through VOUT8. These are unbalanced
outputs, each capable of driving 3.1 Vp-p typical into a 5-kΩ ac load with VCC = 5 V. The internal output
amplifiers for VOUT1 through VOUT8 are dc-biased to the common-mode (or bipolar zero) voltage, equal to VCC/2.
The output amplifiers include an RC continuous-time filter, which helps to reduce the out-of-band noise energy
present at the DAC outputs due to the noise-shaping characteristics of the PCM1608 delta-sigma DACs. The
frequency response of this filter is shown in Figure 28. By itself, this filter is not enough to attenuate the
out-of-band noise to an acceptable level for most applications. An external low-pass filter is required to provide
sufficient out-of-band noise rejection. Further discussion of DAC post-filter circuits is provided in the Application
Information section of this data sheet.

VCOM OUTPUT
One unbuffered, common-mode voltage output pin, VCOM (pin 15), is brought out for decoupling purposes. This
pin is nominally biased to a dc voltage level equal to VCC/2. If this pin is to be used to bias external circuitry, a
voltage follower is required for buffering purposes. Figure 29 shows an example of using the VCOM pin for
external biasing applications.

ZERO FLAG
Zero-Detect Condition
Zero detection for each output channel is independent from the others. If the data for a given channel remains at
a 0 level for 1024 sample periods (or LRCK clock periods), a zero-detect condition exists for that channel.
Zero Output Flags
Given that a zero-detect condition exists for one or more channels, the zero-flag pins for those channels are set
to a logic-1 state. Each channel, ZERO1 through ZERO6 (pins 1 through 6), ZERO7 (pin 30), and ZERO8 (pin
32), has zero-flag pins. In addition, all eight zero flags are logically ANDed together, and the result is provided at
the ZEROA pin (pin 48), which is set to a logic-1 state when all channels indicate a zero-detect condition. The
zero-flag pins can be used to operate external mute circuits. ZERO1 through ZERO6 can be used as status
indicators for a microcontroller, audio signal processor, or other digitally controlled function.
The active polarity of the zero-flag output can be inverted by setting to 1 the ZREV bit of control register 10. The
reset default is active-high output, or ZREV = 0.

See the Application Information section of this data sheet for more information.
Figure 31. Typical Application Diagram
A typical application diagram is shown in Figure 31. The REG1117-3.3 from Texas Instruments is used to
generate 3.3 V for VDD from the 5-V analog power supply. The PLL170x from Texas Instruments is used to
generate the system clock input at SCKI, as well as generating the clock for the audio signal processor.
Series resistors (22-Ω to 100-Ω) are recommended for SCKI, LRCK, BCK, DATA1, DATA2, DATA3, and DATA4.
The series resistor combines with the stray PCB and device input capacitance to form a low-pass filter which
removes high-frequency noise from the digital signal, thus reducing high-frequency emission.
POWER SUPPLIES AND GROUNDING
The PCM1608 requires a 5-V analog supply and a 3.3-V digital supply. The 5-V supply is used to power the DAC
analog and output filter circuitry, whereas the 3.3-V supply is used to power the digital filter and serial interface
circuitry. For best performance, the 3.3-V supply should be derived from the 5-V supply using a linear regulator
(see Figure 31).
Two capacitors are required for supply bypassing (see Figure 30). These capacitors should be located as close
as possible to the PCM1608 package. The 10-µF capacitors should be tantalum or aluminum electrolytic,
whereas the 0.1-µF capacitors are ceramic (X7R type is recommended for surface-mount applications).
DAC OUTPUT FILTER CIRCUITS
Delta-sigma DACs use noise-shaping techniques to improve in-band signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance at
the expense of generating increased out-of-band noise above the Nyquist frequency, or fS/2. The out-of-band
noise must be low-pass filtered in order to provide optimal converter performance. This is accomplished by a
combination of on-chip and external low-pass filtering.
Figure 32 and Figure 33 show the recommended external low-pass active filter circuits for dual- and
single-supply applications. These circuits are second-order Butterworth filters using the multiple feedback (MFB)
circuit arrangement, which reduces sensitivity to passive component variations over frequency and temperature.
For more information regarding MFB active filter design, see the FilterPro™ MFB and Sallen-Key Low-Pass Filter
Design Program application report (SBFA001), available from the TI Web site (www.ti.com).
Because the overall system performance is defined by the quality of the DACs and their associated analog
output circuitry, high-quality audio operational amplifiers are recommended for the active filters. The OPA2134
and OPA2353 dual operational amplifiers from Texas Instruments are shown in Figure 32 and Figure 33, and are
recommended for use with the PCM1608.

PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES
A typical PCB floor plan for the PCM1608 is shown in Figure 34. A ground plane is recommended, with the
analog and digital sections being isolated from one another using a split or cut in the circuit board. The PCM1608
should be oriented with the digital I/O pins facing the ground plane split/cut to allow for short, direct connections
to the digital audio interface and control signals originating from the digital section of the board.

PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES (continued)
Separate power supplies are recommended for the digital and analog sections of the board. This prevents the
switching noise present on the digital supply from contaminating the analog power supply and degrading the
dynamic performance of the DACs. In cases where a common 5-V supply must be used for the analog and
digital sections, an inductance (RF choke, ferrite bead) should be placed between the analog and digital 5-V
supply connections to avoid coupling of the digital switching noise into the analog circuitry. Figure 35 shows the
recommended approach for single-supply applications.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The DAC section of the PCM1608 is based on a multi-bit delta-sigma architecture. This architecture uses a
fourth-order noise shaper and an 8-level amplitude quantizer, followed by an analog low-pass filter. A block
diagram of the delta-sigma modulator is shown in Figure 36. This architecture has the advantage of stability and
improved jitter tolerance, when compared to traditional 1-bit (2-level) delta-sigma designs.

Figure 36. Eight-Level Delta-Sigma Modulator
The combined oversampling rate of the digital interpolation filter and the delta-sigma modulator is 32 fS, 64 fS, or
128 fS. The total oversampling rate is determined by the desired sampling frequency. If fS ≤ 96 kHz, then the
OVER bit in register 12 can be set to an oversampling rate of 64 fS or 128 fS. If fS > 96 kHz, then the OVER bit
can be used to set the oversampling rate to 32 fS or 64 fS. Figure 37 shows the out-of-band quantization-noise
plots for both the 64× and 128× oversampling scenarios. Notice that the 128× oversampling plot shows
significantly improved out-of-band noise performance, allowing for a simplified low-pass filter to be used at the
output of the DAC.

KEY PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS AND MEASUREMENT
This section provides information on how to measure key dynamic performance parameters for the PCM1608. In
all cases, a System Two Cascade audio measurement system by Audio Precision or equivalent is used to
perform the testing.
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION + NOISE
Total harmonic distortion + noise (THD+N) is a significant figure of merit for audio DACs, because it takes into
account both harmonic distortion and all noise sources within a specified measurement bandwidth. The true rms
value of the distortion and noise is referred to as THD+N. The test setup for THD+N measurements is shown in
Figure 39.

Required for THD+N test
Figure 39. Test Setup for THD+N Measurements
For the PCM1608 DACs, THD+N is measured with a full-scale, 1-kHz digital sine wave as the test stimulus at the
input of the DAC. The digital generator is set to a 24-bit audio word length and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz
or 96 kHz. The digital generator output is taken from the unbalanced S/PDIF connector of the measurement
system. The S/PDIF data is transmitted via coaxial cable to the digital audio receiver on the DEM-DAI1602
demonstration board. The receiver is then configured to output 24-bit data in either I2S or left-justified data
format. The DAC audio interface format is programmed to match the receiver output format. The analog output is
then taken from the DAC post filter and connected to the analog analyzer input of the measurement system. The
analog input is band-limited, using filters resident in the analyzer. The resulting THD+N is measured by the
analyzer and displayed by the measurement system.
DYNAMIC RANGE
Dynamic range is specified as A-weighted THD+N measured with a –60-dBFS, 1-kHz digital sine wave stimulus
at the input of the DAC. This measurement is designed to give a good indication of how the DAC performs, given
a low-level input signal.
The measurement setup for the dynamic range measurement is shown in Figure 40, and is similar to the THD+N
test setup discussed previously. The differences include the band-limit filter selection, the additional A-weighting
filter, and the –60-dBFS input level.

Figure 40. Test Setup for Dynamic Range and SNR Measurements
IDLE-CHANNEL SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO
The SNR test provides a measure of the noise of the DAC. The input to the DAC is in all-0s data, and the DAC
infinite-zero-detect mute function must be disabled (default condition at power up for the PCM1608). This
ensures that the delta-sigma modulator output is connected to the output amplifier circuit so that idle tones (if
present) can be observed at the output. The dither function of the digital signal generator must also be disabled
to ensure an all-0s data stream at the input of the DAC.
The measurement setup for SNR is identical to that used for dynamic range, with the exception of the input
signal level (see the notes provided in Figure 40).
