6. The output word rate, OWR, refers to the frequency at which an audio sample is output from the part.
(A stereo pair is two audio samples.) Therefore, in Master mode, there are always 32 SCK periods in
one audio sample. In Slave mode, exactly 32 SCK periods per audio sample must be provided in most
serial port formats. Therefor, if SCK is 128 x Fs, then SCK must be gated to provide exactly 32 periods
per audio sample.
7. In master mode SCK and FSYNC are outputs. In Slave mode they are inputs. In the CS8411, control
reg. 2 bit 1, MSTR, selects master. In the CS8412, formats 1, 3 and 9 are slaves.
8. The table above assumes data is output on the falling edge and latched on the rising edge. With the
CS8411 the edge is selectable. The table is defined for the CS8411 with control reg. 2 bit 0, SCED, set
to one, and for the CS8412 in formats 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7. For the other formats, the table and figure edges
must be reversed (i.e.. "rising" to "falling" and vice versa).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Clocks and Jitter Attenuation
The CS8411/12 are monolithic CMOS circuits that
receive and decode audio and digital data according to the AES/EBU, IEC958, S/PDIF, and EIAJ
CP-340 interface standards. Both chips contain
RS422 line receivers and Phase-Locked Loops
(PLL) that recover the clock and synchronization
signals, and de-multiplex the audio and digital data.
The CS8411 contains a configurable internal buffer
memory, read via a parallel port, which can buffer
channel status, user, and optionally auxiliary data.
The CS8412 de-multiplexes the channel status, user, and validity information directly to serial output
pins with dedicated pins for the most important
channel status bits. Both chips also contain extensive error reporting as well as incoming sample frequency indication for auto-set applications.
The primary function of these chips is to recover
audio data and low jitter clocks from a digital audio
transmission line. The clocks that can be generated
are MCK (256 × FS), SCK (64 × FS), and FSYNC
(FS or 2 × FS). MCK is the output of the voltage
controlled oscillator which is a component of the
PLL. The PLL consists of phase and frequency detectors, a second-order loop filter, and a voltage
controlled oscillator. All components of the PLL
are on chip with the exception of a resistor and capacitor used in the loop filter. This filter is connected between the FILT pin and AGND. The closedloop transfer function, which specifies the PLL's
jitter attenuation characteristics, is shown in Figure
3. Since most data jitter introduced by the transmission line is high in frequency, it will be strongly attenuated.
Familiarity with the AES/EBU and IEC958 specifications are assumed throughout this document.
The App Note, Overview of Digital Audio Interface Data Structures, contains information on digital audio specifications; however, it is not meant to
be a complete reference. To guarantee compliance,
the proper standards documents should be obtained. The AES/EBU standard, AES3-1985,
should be obtained from the Audio Engineering
Society or ANSI (ANSI document # ANSI S4.401985); the IEC958 standard from the International
Electrotechnical Commission; and the EIAJ CP340 standard from the Japanese Electronics Bureau.
Line Receiver
The RS422 line receiver can decode differential as
well as single ended inputs. The receiver consists
of a differential input Schmitt trigger with 50 mV
of hysteresis. The hysteresis prevents noisy signals
from corrupting the phase detector. Appendix A
contains more information on how to configure the
line receivers for differential and single ended signals.
DS61F1
Multiple frequency detectors are used to minimize
the time it takes the PLL to lock to the incoming
data stream and to prevent false lock conditions.
When the PLL is not locked to the incoming data
stream, the frequency detectors pull the VCO frequency within the lock range of the PLL. When no
digital audio data is present, the VCO frequency is
pulled to its minimum value.
As a master, SCK is always MCK divided by four,
producing a frequency of 64 × FS. In the CS8411,
FSYNC can be programmed to be a divided version
of MCK or it can be generated directly from the incoming data stream. In the CS8412, FSYNC is always generated from the incoming data stream.
When FSYNC is generated from the data, its edges
are extracted at times when intersymbol interference is at a minimum. This provides a sample frequency clock that is as spectrally pure as the digital
audio source clock for moderate length transmission lines. For long transmission lines, the CS8411
can be programmed to generate FSYNC from
MCK instead of from the incoming data.

CS8411 DESCRIPTION
The CS8411 is more flexible than the CS8412 but
requires a microcontroller or DSP to load internal
registers. The CS8412 does not have internal registers so it may be used in a stand-alone mode where
no microprocessor or DSP is available.
The CS8411 accepts data from a transmission line
coded according to the digital audio interface standards. The I.C. recovers clock and data, and separates the audio data from control information. The
audio data is output through a configurable serial
port and the control information is stored in internal
dual-port RAM. Extensive error reporting is available via internal registers with the option of repeating the last sample when an error occurs. A block
diagram of the CS8411 is shown in Figure 4.
Parallel Port
The parallel port accesses two status registers, two
interrupt enable registers, two control registers, and
28 bytes of dual-port buffer memory. The status
registers and interrupt enable registers occupy the
same address space. A bit in control register 1 se-
8
lects the two registers, either status or interrupt enable, that occupy addresses 0 and 1 in the memory
map. The address bus and the RD/WR line should
be valid when CS goes low. If RD/WR is low, the
value on the data bus will be written into the buffer
memory at the specified address. If RD/WR is high,
the value in the buffer memory, at the specified address, is placed on the data bus. Detailed timing for
the parallel port can be found in the Switching
Characteristics - Parallel Port table.
The memory space on the CS8411 is allocated as
shown in Figure 5. There are three defined buffer
modes selectable by two bits in control register 1.
Further information on the buffer modes can be
found in the Control Registers section.
Status and IEnable Registers
The status and interrupt enable registers occupy the
same address space. The IER/SR bit in control register 1 selects whether the status registers (IER/SR
= 0) or the IEnable registers (IER/SR = 1) occupy
addresses 0 and 1. Upon power-up, the control and
IEnable registers contain all zeros; therefore, the

status registers are visible and all interrupts are disabled. The IER/SR bit must be set to make the IEnable registers visible.
FLAG2 causes an interrupt on the rising edge only.
Further information, including timing, on the flags
can be found in the Buffer Memory section.
Status register 1 (SR1), shown in Figure 6, reports
all the conditions that can generate a low pulse,
four SCLK cycles wide, on the interrupt pin (INT).
The three least significant bits, FLAG2-FLAG0,
are used to monitor the ram buffer. These bits continually change and indicate the position of the
buffer pointer which points to the buffer memory
location currently being written. Each flag has a
corresponding interrupt enable bit in IEnable register 1 which, when set, allows a transition on the flag
to generate a pulse on the interrupt pin. FLAG0 and
FLAG1 cause interrupts on both edges whereas
The next five bits; ERF, SLIP, CCHG,
CRCE/CRC1, and CSDIF/CRC2, are latches
which are set when their corresponding conditions
occur, and are reset when SR1 is read. Interrupt
pulses are generated the first time that condition occurs. If the status register is not read, further instances of that same condition will not generate
another interrupt. ERF is the error flag bit and is set
when the ERF pin goes high. It is an OR’ing of the
errors listed in status register 2, bits 0 through 4,
AND’ed with their associated interrupt enable bits
in IEnable register 2.

SLIP is only valid when the audio port is in slave
mode (FSYNC and SCK are inputs to the CS8411).
This flag is set when an audio sample is dropped or
reread because the audio data output from the part
is at a different frequency than the data received
from the transmission line. CCHG is set when any
bit in channel status bytes 0 through 3, stored in the
buffer, changes from one block to the next. In buffer modes 0 and 1, only one channel of channel status data is buffered, so CCHG is only affected by
that channel. (CS2/CS1 in CR1 selects which channel is buffered.) In buffer mode 2 both channels are
buffered, so both channels affect CCHG. This bit is
updated after each byte (0 to 3) is written to the
buffer. The two most significant bits in SR1,
CRCE/CRC1 and CSDIF/CRC2, are dual function
flags. In buffer modes 0 and 1, they are CRCE and
CSDIF, and in buffer mode 2, they are CRC1 and
CRC2. In buffer modes 0 and 1, the channel selected by the CS2/CS1 bit is stored in RAM and CRCE
indicates that a CRC error occurred in that channel.
CSDIF is set if there is any difference between the
channel status bits of each channel. In buffer mode
2 channel status from both channels is buffered,
with CRC1 indicating a CRC error in channel 1 and
CRC2 indicating a CRC error in channel 2. CRCE,
CRC1, and CRC2 are updated at the block boundary. Block boundary violations also cause CRC1,2
or CRCE to be set.

IEnable register 1, which occupies the same address space as status register 1, contains interrupt
enable bits for all conditions in status register 1. A
"1" in a bit location enables the same bit location in
status register 1 to generate an interrupt pulse. A
"0" masks that particular status bit from causing an
interrupt.
Status register 2 (SR2) reports all the conditions
that can affect the error flag bit in SR1 and the error
pin (ERF), and can specify the received clock frequency. As previously mentioned, the first five bits
of SR2 are AND’ed with their interrupt enable bits
(in IER2) and then OR’ed to create ERF. The V,

PARITY, CODE and LOCK bits are latches which
are set when their corresponding conditions occur,
and are reset when SR2 is read. The ERF pin is asserted each time the error occurs assuming the interrupt enable bit in IER2 is set for that particular
error. When the ERF pin is asserted, the ERF bit in
SR1 is set. If the ERF bit was not set prior to the
ERF pin assertion, an interrupt will be generated
(assuming bit 3 in IER1 is set). Although the ERF
pin is asserted for each occurrence of an enabled error condition, the ERF bit will only cause an interrupt once if SR1 is not read.
V is the validity status bit which is set any time the
received validity bit is high. PARITY is set when a
parity error is detected. CODE is set when a biphase coding error is detected. LOCK is asserted
when the receiver PLL is not locked and occurs
when there is no input on RXP/RXN, or if the received frequency is out of the receiver lock range
(25 kHz to 55 kHz). Lock is achieved after receiving three frame preambles followed by one block
preamble, and is lost after four consecutive frame
preambles are not received.

IEnable register 2 has corresponding interrupt enable bits for the first five bits in SR2. A "1" enables
the condition in SR2 to cause ERF to go high, while
a "0" masks that condition. Bit 5 is unused and bits6
and 7, the two most significant bits, are factory test
bits and must be set to zero when writing to this
register. The CS8411 sets these bits to zero on power-up.

Control Registers
The CS8411 contains two control registers. Control
register1 (CR1), at address 2, selects system level
features, while control register 2 (CR2), at address
3, configures the audio serial port.
The upper three bits in SR2, FREQ2-FREQ0, can
report the receiver frequency when the receiver is
locked. These bits are only valid when FCEN in
control register 1 is set, and a 6.144 MHz clock is
applied to the FCK pin. When FCEN is set, the
A4/FCK pin is used as FCK and A4 is internally set
to zero; therefore, only the lower half of the buffer
In control register 1, when RST is low, all outputs
are reset except MCK (FSYNC and SCLK are high
impedance). After the user sets RST high, the
CS8411 comes fully out of reset when the block
boundary is found. It is recommended to reset the
CS8411 after power-up and any time the user performs a system-wide reset. The serial port, in master mode, will begin to operate as soon as RST goes

high. B0 and B1 select one of three buffer modes
listed in Table 2 and illustrated in Figure 5. In all
modes four bytes of user data are stored. In mode 0,
one entire block of channel status is stored. In mode
1 eight bytes of channel status and sixteen bytes of
auxiliary data are stored. In mode 2, eight bytes of
channel status from each sub-frame are stored. The
buffer modes are discussed in more detail in the
Buffer Memory section. The next bit, CS2/CS1, selects the particular sub-frame of channel status to
buffer in modes 0 and 1, and has no effect in mode
2. When CS2/CS1 is low, sub-frame 1 is buffered,
and when CS2/CS1 is high, sub-frame 2 is buffered. IER/SR selects which set of registers, either
IEnable or status, occupy addresses 0 and 1. When
IER/SR is low, the status registers occupy the first
two addresses, and when IER/SR is high, the IEnable registers occupy those addresses. FCEN enables the internal frequency counter. A 6.144 MHz
clock must be connected to the FCK pin as a reference. The value of the FREQ bits in SR2 are not
valid until two thirds of a block of data is received.
Since FCK and A4, the most significant address bit,
occupy the same pin, A4 is internally set to zero
when FCEN is high. Since A4 is forced to zero, the
upper half of the buffer is not accessible while using the frequency compare feature. FPLL determines how FSYNC is derived. When FPLL is low,
FSYNC is derived from the incoming data, and
when FPLL is high, it is derived from the internal
phase-locked loop.
Control Register 2 configures the serial port which
consists of three pins: SCK, SDATA, and FSYNC.
SDATA is always an output, but SCK and FSYNC
12
Table 2. Buffer Memory Modes
can be configured as inputs or outputs. FSYNC and
SDATA can have a variety of relationships to each
other, and the polarity of SCK can be controlled.
The large variety of audio data formats provides an
easy interface to most DSPs and other audio processors. SDATA is normally just audio data, but
special modes are provided that output received biphase data, or received NRZ data with zeros substituted for preamble. Another special mode allows an
asynchronous SCK input to read audio data from
the serial port without slipping samples. In this
mode FSYNC and SDATA are outputs synchronized to the SCK input. Since SCK is asynchronous
to the received clock, the number of SCK cycles
between FSYNC edges will vary.

ROER, when set, causes the last audio sample to be

conditions that activate ERF are those reported in
SR2 and enabled in IER2. Figure 10 illustrates the

each sample and FSYNC has four formats. The
first two output formats of FSYNC (shown in Figure 10) delineate each word and the identification
of the particular channel must be kept track of externally. This may be done using the rising edge of
FLAG2 to indicate the next data word is left channel data. The last two output formats of FSYNC
also delineate each channel with the polarity of
FSYNC indicating the particular channel. The last
format has FSYNC change one SCK cycle before
the frame containing the data and may be used to
generate an I2S compatible interface.
When SCK is programmed as an input, 32 SCK cycles per sample must be provided. (There are two
formats in the Special Modes section where SCK
can have 16 or 24 clocks per sample.) The four
modes where FSYNC is an input are similar to the
FSYNC output modes. The first two require a transition of FSYNC to start the sample frame, whereas
the last two are identical to the corresponding
FSYNC output modes. If the circuit generating
SCK and FSYNC is not locked to the master clock
of the CS8411, the serial port will eventually be reread or a sample will be missed. When this occurs,
the SLIP bit in SR1 will be set.
SDATA can take on five formats in the normal serial port modes. The first format (see Figure 10),
MSB First, has the MSB aligned with the start of a
sample frame. Twenty-four audio bits are output
including the auxiliary bits. This mode is compatible with many DSPs. If the auxiliary bits are used
for something other than audio data, they must be
masked off. The second format, MSB Last, outputs
data LSB first with the MSB aligned to the end of
the sample frame. This format is conducive to serial arithmetic. Both of the above formats output all
audio bits from the received data. The last three formats are LSB Last formats that output the most significant 16, 18, and 20 bits respectively, with the
LSB aligned to the end of the sample frame. These
formats are used by many interpolation filters.
14
Special Modes
Five special modes are included for unique applications. In these modes, the master bit, MSTR, must
be defined as shown in Figure 10. In the first mode,
Asynchronous SCK, FSYNC (which is an output in
this mode) is aligned to the incoming SCK. This
mode is useful when the SCK is locked to an external event and cannot be derived from MCK. Since
SCK is asynchronous, the number of SCK cycles
per sample frame will vary. The data output will be
MSB first, 24 bits, and aligned to the beginning of
a sample frame. The second and third special
modes are unique in that they contain 24 and 16
SCK cycles respectively per sample frame, whereas all normal modes contain 32 SCK cycles. In
these two modes, the data is MSB first and fills the
entire frame. The fourth special mode outputs NRZ
data including the V, U, C, and P bits and the preamble replaced with zeros. SCK is an output with
32 SCK cycles per sample frame. The fifth mode
outputs the biphase data recovered from the transmission line with 64 SCK cycles output per sample
frame, with data changing on the rising edge.
Normally, data recovered by the CS8411 is delayed
by two frames in propagating through the part, but
in the fourth and fifth special modes, the data is delayed only a few bit periods before being output.
However, error codes, and the C, U and V bits follow their normal pathways with a two frame delay
(so that the error code would be output with the offending data in the other modes). As a result, in
special modes four and five, the error codes are
nearly two frames behind the data output on SDATA.
Buffer Memory
In all buffer modes, the status, mask, and control
registers are located at addresses 0-3, and the user
data is buffered at locations 4 through 7. The parallel port can access any location in the user data
buffer at any time; however, care should be taken
not to read a location when that location is being
DS61F1
CS8411 CS8412
updated internally. This internal writing is done
through a second port of the buffer and is done in a
cyclic manner. As data is received, the bits are assembled in an internal 8-bit shift register which,
when full, is loaded into the buffer memory. The
first bit received is stored in D0 and, after D7 is received, the byte is written into the proper buffer
memory location.
The user data is received one bit per sub-frame. At
the channel status block boundary, the internal
pointer for writing user data is initialized to 04H
(Hex). After receiving eight user bits, the byte is
written to the address indicated by the user pointer
which is then incremented to point to the next address. After receiving all four bytes of user data, 32
audio samples, the user pointer is set to 04H again
and the cycle repeats. FLAG0, in SR1 can be used
to monitor the user data buffer. When the last byte
of the user buffer, location 07H, is written, FLAG0
is set low and when the second byte, location 05H,
is written, FLAG0 is set high. If the corresponding
bit in the interrupt enable register (IER1, bit 0) is
set, a transition of FLAG0 will generate a low pulse
on the interrupt pin. The level of FLAG0 indicates
which two bytes the part will write next, thereby indicating which two bytes are free to be read.
FLAG1 is buffer mode dependent and is discussed
in the individual buffer mode sections. A transition
of FLAG1 will generate an interrupt if the appropriate interrupt enable bit is set.
FLAG2 is set high after channel status byte 23, the
last byte of the block, is written and set low after
channel status byte 3 is written to the buffer memory. FLAG2 is unique in that only the rising edge
can cause an interrupt if the appropriate interrupt
enable bit in IER1 is set.
Figure 11 illustrates the flag timing for an entire
channel status block which includes 24 bytes of
channel status data per channel and 384 audio samples. The lower portion of Figure 11 expands the
first byte of channel status showing eight pairs of
DS61F1
data, with a pair defined as a frame. This is further
expanded showing the first sub-frame (A0) to contain 32 bits defined as per the digital audio standards. When receiving stereo, channel A is left and
channel B is right.
For all three buffer modes, the three most significant bits in SR1, shown in Figure 6, can be used to
monitor the channel status data. In buffer mode 2,
bits 7 and 6 change definition and are described in
that section. Channel status data, as described in the
standards, is independent for each channel. Each
channel contains its own block of channel status
data, and in most systems, both channels will contain the same channel status data. Buffer modes 0
and 1 operate on one block of channel status with
the particular block selected by the CS2/CS1 bit in
CR1. CSDIF, bit 7 in SR1, indicates when the
channel status data for each channel is not the same
even though only one channel is being buffered.
CRCE, bit 6 in SR1, indicates a CRC error occurred in the buffered channel. CCHG, bit 5 in
SR1, is set when any bit in the buffered channel status bytes 0 to 3, change from one block to the next.
Buffer Mode 0
The user data buffer previously described is identical for all modes. Buffer mode 0 allocates the rest
of the buffer to channel status data. This mode
stores an entire block of channel status in 24 memory locations from address 08H to 1FH. Channel
status (CS) data is different from user data in that
channel status data is independent for each channel.
A block of CS data is defined as one bit per frame,
not one bit per sub-frame; therefore, there are two
blocks of channel status. The CS2/CS1 bit in CR1
selects which channel is stored in the buffer. In a
typical system sending stereo data, the channel status data for each channel would be identical.
FLAG1 in status register 1, SR1, can be used to
monitor the channel status buffer. In mode 0,
FLAG1 is set low after channel status byte 23 (the
last byte) is written, and is set high when channel

timing. The arrows on the flag timing indicate
when an interrupt will occur if the appropriate interrupt enable bit is set. FLAG0 can cause an interrupt on either edge, which is only shown in the

Buffer Mode 1
In buffer mode 1, eight bytes are allocated for channel status data and sixteen bytes for auxiliary data
as shown in Figure 5. The user data buffer is the
same for all modes. The channel status buffer, locations 08H to 0FH, is divided into two sections. The
first four locations always contain the first four
bytes of channel status, identical to mode 0, and are
written once per channel status block. The second
four locations, addresses 0CH to 0FH, provide a
cyclic buffer for the last 20 bytes of channel status
data. The channel status buffer is divided in this
fashion because the first four bytes are the most imDS61F1

portant ones; whereas, the last 20 bytes are often
not used (except for byte 23, CRC).
FLAG1 and FLAG2 can be used to monitor this
buffer as shown in Figure 13. FLAG1 is set high
when CS byte 1, location 09H, is written and is toggled when every other byte is written. FLAG2 is set
high after CS byte 23 is written and set low after CS
byte 3, location 0BH, is written. FLAG2 determines whether the channel status pointer is writing
to the first four-byte section of the channel status
buffer or the second four-byte section, while
FLAG1 indicates which two bytes of the section
are free to update.
The auxiliary data buffer, locations 10H to 1FH, is
written to in a cyclic manner similar to the other
buffers. Four auxiliary data bits are received per
audio sample (sub-frame) and, since the auxiliary
data is four times larger than the user data, the auxiliary data buffer on the CS8411 is four times larger
allowing FLAG0 to be used to monitor both.
Buffer Mode 2
In buffer mode 2, two 8-byte buffers are available
to independently buffer each channel of channel
status data. Both buffers are identical to the channel
status buffer in mode 1 and are written to simultaneously, with locations 08H to 0FH containing CS
data for channel A and locations 10H to 17H containing CS data for channel B. Both CS buffers can
be monitored using FLAG1 and FLAG2 as described in the BUFFER MODE 1 section.
The two most significant bits in SR1 change definition for buffer mode 2. These two bits, when set, indicate CRC errors for their respective channels. A
CRC error occurs when the internal calculated
CRC for channel status bytes 0 through 22 does not
match channel status byte 23. CCHG, bit 5 in SR1,
is set when any bit in the first four channel status
bytes of either channel changes from one block to
the next. Since channel status doesn’t change very
often, this bit may be monitored rather than checking all the bits in the first four bytes. These bits are
illustrated in 6.

Buffer Updates and Interrupt Timing
As mentioned previously in the buffer mode sections, conflicts between externally reading the
buffer RAM and the CS8411 internally writing to it
may be averted by using the flag levels to avoid the
section currently being addressed by the part. However, if the interrupt line, along with the flags, is
utilized, the actual byte that was just updated can be
determined. In this way, the entire buffer can be
read without concern for internal updates. Figure
15 shows the detailed timing for the interrupt line,
flags, and the RAM write line. SCK is 64 times the
incoming sample frequency, and is the same SCK
output in master mode. The FSYNC shown is valid
for all master modes except the I2S compatible
mode. The interrupt pulse is shown to be 4 SCK periods wide and goes low 5 SCK periods after the
RAM is written. Using the above information, the
entire data buffer may be read starting with the next
byte to be updated by the internal pointer.
ERF Pin Timing
ERF signals that an error occurred while receiving
the audio sample that is currently being read from
the serial port. ERF changes with the active edge of
FSYNC and is high during the erroneous sample.
ERF is affected by the error conditions reported in
SR2: LOCK, CODE, PARITY, and V. Any of
these conditions may be masked off using the corresponding bits in IER2. The ERF pin will go high
for each error that occurs. The ERF bit in SR1 is
different from the ERF pin in that it only causes an
interrupt the first time an error occurs until SR1 is
read. More information on the ERF pin and bit is
contained at the end of the Status and IEnable Registers section.

VD+ - Positive Digital Power, PIN 7.
Positive supply for the digital section. Nominally +5 volts.
VA+ - Positive Analog Power, PIN 22.
Positive supply for the analog section. Nominally +5 volts. This supply should be as quiet as
possible since noise on this pin will directly affect the jitter performance of the recovered
clock.
DGND - Digital Ground, PIN 8.
Ground for the digital section. DGND should be connected to same ground as AGND.
AGND - Analog Ground, PIN 21.
Ground for the analog section. AGND should be connected to same ground as DGND.
Audio Output Interface
SCK - Serial Clock, PIN 12.
Serial clock for SDATA pin which can be configured (via control register 2) as an input or
output, and can sample data on the rising or falling edge. As an input, SCK must contain 32
clocks for every audio sample in all normal audio serial port formats.

CS8411 CS8412
FSYNC - Frame Sync, PIN 11.
Delineates the serial data and may indicate the particular channel, left or right. Also, FSYNC
may be configured as an input or output. The format is based on bits in control register 2.
SDATA - Serial Data, PIN 26.
Audio data serial output pin.
ERF - Error Flag, PIN 25.
Signals that an error has occurred while receiving the audio sample currently being read from
the serial port. The errors that cause ERF to go high are enumerated in status register 2 and
enabled by setting the corresponding bit in IEnable register 2.
A4/FCK - Address Bus Bit 4/Frequency Clock, PIN 13.
This pin has a dual function and is controlled by the FCEN bit in control register 1. A4 is the
address bus pin as defined below. When used as FCK, an internal frequency comparator
compares a 6.144 MHz clock input on this pin to the received clock frequency and stores the
value in status register 1 as three FREQ bits. These bits indicate the incoming frequency as
well as the tolerance. When defined as FCK, A4 is internally set to 0.
Parallel Interface
CS - Chip Select, PIN 24.
This input is active low and allows access to the 32 bytes of internal memory. The address bus
and RD/WR must be valid while CS is low.
RD/WR - Read/Write, PIN 23.
If RD/WR is low when CS goes active (low), the data on the data bus is written to internal
memory. If RD/WR is high when CS goes active, the data in the internal memory is placed on
the data bus.
A4-A0 - Address Bus, PINS 13, 15-18.
Parallel port address bus that selects the internal memory location to be read from or written to.
Note that A4 is the dual function pin A4/FCK as described above.
D0-D7 - Data Bus, PINS 27-28, 1-6.
Parallel port data bus used to check status, read or write control words, or read internal buffer
memory.
INT - Interrupt, PIN 14.
Open drain output that can signal the state of the internal buffer memory as well as error
information. A 5kΩ resistor to VD+ is typically used to support logic gates. All bits affecting
INT are maskable to allow total control over the interrupt mechanism.

CS8412 DESCRIPTION
provide error correction. A block diagram of the
CS8412 is illustrated in Figure 16.
The CS8412 does not need a microprocessor to
handle the non-audio data (although a micro may
be used with the C and U serial ports). Instead, dedicated pins are available for the most important
channel status bits. The CS8412 is a monolithic
CMOS circuit that receives and decodes digital audio data which was encoded according to the digital
audio interface standards. It contains an RS422 line
receiver and clock and data recovery utilizing an
on-chip phase-locked loop. The audio data is output through a configurable serial port that supports
14 formats. The channel status and user data have
their own serial pins and the validity flag is OR’ed
with the ERF flag to provide a single pin, VERF,
indicating that the audio output may not be valid.
This pin may be used by interpolation filters that

The line receiver and jitter performance are described in the sections directly preceding the
CS8411 sections in the beginning of this data sheet.
Audio Serial Port
The audio serial port is used primarily to output audio data and consists of three pins: SCK, FSYNC,
and SDATA. These pins are configured via four
control pins: M0, M1, M2, and M3. M3 selects between eight normal serial formats (M3 = 0), and six
special formats (M3 = 1).
Normal Modes (M3 = 0)
When M3 is low, the normal serial port formats
shown in Figure 17 are selected using M2, M1, and
M0. These formats are also listed in Table 3,

wherein the first word past the format number
(Out-In) indicates whether FSYNC and SCK are
outputs from the CS8412 or are inputs. The next
word (L/R-WSYNC) indicates whether FSYNC indicates the particular channel or just delineates
each word. If an error occurs (ERF = 1) while using
one of these formats, the previous valid audio data
for that channel will be output. As long as ERF is
high, that same data word will be output. If the
CS8412 is not locked, it will output all zeroes. In
some modes FSYNC and SCK are outputs and in
others they are inputs. In Table 3, LSBJ is short for
LSB justified where the LSB is justified to the end
of the audio frame and the MSB varies with word
length. As outputs the CS8412 generates 32 SCK
periods per audio sample (64 per stereo sample)
and, as inputs, 32 SCK periods must be provided
per audio sample. When FSYNC and SCK are inputs, one stereo sample is double buffered. For
those modes which output 24 bits of audio data, the
auxiliary bits will be included. If the auxiliary bits
are not used for audio data, they must be masked
off.

Table 3. Normal Audio Port Modes (M3=0)
Special Modes (M3 = 1)
When M3 is high, the special audio modes described in Table 4 are selected via M2, M1, and
M0. In formats 8, 9, and 10, SCK, FSYNC, and
SDATA are the same as in formats 0, 1, and 2 respectively; however, the recovered data is output as
is even if ERF is high, indicating an error. (In
24
modes 0-2 the previous valid sample is output.)
Similarly, when out of lock, the CS8412 will still
output all the recovered data, which should be zeros if there is no input to the RXP, RXN pins. Format 11 is similar to format 0 except that SCK is an
input and FSYNC is an output. In this mode
FSYNC and SDATA are synchronized to the incoming SCK, and the number of SCK periods between FSYNC edges will vary since SCK is not
synchronous to received data stream. This mode
may be useful when writing data to storage.

Table 4. Special Audio Port Modes (M3=1)
Format 12 is similar to format 7 except that SDATA is the entire data word received from the transmission line including the C, U, V, and P bits, with
zeros in place of the preamble. In format 13 SDATA contains the entire biphase encoded data from
the transmission line including the preamble, and
SCK is twice the normal frequency. The normal
two frame delay of data from input to output is reduced to only a few bit periods in formats 12 and
13. However, the C, U, V bits and error codes follow their normal pathways and therefore follow the
output data by nearly two frames. Figure 18 illustrates formats 12 and 13. Format 14 is reserved and
not presently used, and format 15 causes the
CS8412 to go into a reset state. While in reset all
outputs will be inactive except MCK. The CS8412
comes out of reset at the first block boundary after
leaving the reset state. It is recommended to reset
the CS8412 after power-up and any time the user
performs a system-wide reset. A suggested reset
circuit is shown in Appendix B.

Figure 18. Special Audio Port Formats 12 and 13
C, U, VERF, ERF, and CBL Serial Outputs
The C and U bits and CBL are output one SCK period prior to the active edge of FSYNC in all serial
port formats except 2, 3 and 9 (I2S modes). The active edge of FSYNC may be used to latch C, U, and
CBL externally. In formats 2, 3 and 9, the C and U
bits and CBL are updated with the active edge of
FSYNC. The validity + error flag (VERF) and the
error flag (ERF) are always updated at the active
edge of FSYNC. This timing is illustrated in Figure
19.
The C output contains the channel status bits with
CBL rising indicating the start of a new channel
status block. CBL is high for the first four bytes of
channel status (32 frames or 64 samples) and low
for the last 20 bytes of channel status (160 frames
or 320 samples). The U output contains the User
Channel data. The Vbit is OR’ed with the ERF flag
and output on the VERF pin. This indicates that the
audio sample may be in error and can be used by interpolation filters to interpolate through the error.
ERF being high indicates a serious error occurred
on the transmission line. There are three errors that
cause ERF to go high: a parity error or biphase
coding violation during that sample, or an out of
lock PLL receiver. Timing for the above pins is illustrated in Figure 19.
Multifunction Pins
There are seven multifunction pins which contain
either error and received frequency information, or
channel status information, selectable by SEL.

Error and Frequency Reporting
When SEL is low, error and received frequency information are selected. The error information is encoded on pins E2, E1, and E0, and is decoded as
shown in Table 5. When an error occurs, the corresponding error code is latched. Clearing is then accomplished by bringing SEL high for more than
eight MCK cycles. The errors have a priority associated with their error code, with validity having
the lowest priority and no lock having the highest
priority. Since only one code can be displayed, the
error with the highest priority that occurred since
the last clearing will be selected.

Table 5. Error Decoding
The validity flag indicates that the validity bit for a
previous sample was high since the last clearing of
the error codes. The slipped sample error can only
occur when FSYNC and SCK of the audio serial
port are inputs. In this case, if FSYNC is asynchronous to the received data rate, periodically a stereo
sample will be dropped or reread depending on
whether the read rate is slower or faster than the received data rate. When this occurs, the slipped sample error code will appear on the ’E’ pins. The CRC
error is updated at the beginning of a channel status
block, and is only valid when the professional format of channel status data is received. This error is
indicated when the CS8412 calculated CRC value
does not match the CRC byte of the channel status
block or when a block boundary changes (as in removing samples while editing). The parity error occurs when the incoming sub-frame does not have
even parity as specified by the standards. The biphase coding error indicates a biphase coding vio-
DS61F1
lation occurred. The no lock error indicates that the
PLL is not locked onto the incoming data stream.
Lock is achieved after receiving three frame preambles then one block preamble, and is lost after
not receiving four consecutive frame preambles.
The received frequency information is encoded on
pins F2, F1, and F0, and is decoded as shown in Table 6. The on-chip frequency comparator compares
the received clock frequency to an externally supplied 6.144 MHz clock which is input on the FCK
pin. The ’F’ pins are updated three times during a
channel status block including prior to the rising
edge of CBL. CBL may be used to externally latch
the ’F’ pins. The clock on FCK must be valid for
two thirds of a block for the ’F’ pins to be accurate.

Professional Channel Status (C0 = 0)
When C0 is low, the received channel status block
is encoded according to the professional/broadcast
format. The Ca through Ce pins are defined for
some of the more important professional bits. As
listed in Table 7, Ca is the inverse of channel status
bit1. Therefore, if the incoming channel status bit 1
is 1, Ca, defined as C1, will be 0. C1 indicates
whether audio (C1=1) or non-audio (C1=0) data is
being received. Cb and Cc, defined as EM0 and
EM1 respectively, indicate emphasis and are encoded versions of channel status bits 2, 3, and 4.
The decoding is listed in Table 8. Cd, defined as
C9, is the inverse of channel status bit 9, which
gives some indication of channel mode. (Bit 9 is
also defined as bit 1 of byte 1.) When Ce, defined
as CRCE, is low, the CS8412 calculated CRC value
does not match the received CRC value. This signal
may be used to qualify Ca through Cd. If Ca
through Ce are being displayed, Ce going low can
indicate not to update the display.

Consumer Channel Status (C0 = 1)
When C0 is high, the received channel status block
is encoded according to the consumer format. In
this case Ca through Ce are defined differently as
shown in Table 7. Ca is the inverse of channel status bit 1, C1, indicating audio (C1 = 1) or non-audio
(C1 = 0). Cb is defined as the inverse of channel
status bit 2, C2, which indicates copy inhibit/copyright information. Cc, defined as C3, is the empha-
28
sis bit of channel status, with C3 low indicating the
data has had pre-emphasis added.
The audio standards, in consumer mode, describe
bit 15, L, as the generation status which indicates
whether the audio data is an original work or a copy
(1st generation or higher). The definition of the
Lbit is reversed for three category codes: two
broadcast codes, and laser-optical (CD’s). Therefore, to interpret the L bit properly, the category
code must be decoded. The CS8412 does this decoding internally and provides the ORIG signal
that, when low, indicates that the audio data is original over all category codes.
SCMS
The consumer audio standards also mention a serial
copy management system, SCMS, for dealing with
copy protection of copyrighted works. SCMS is designed to allow unlimited duplication of the original work, but no duplication of any copies of the
original. This system utilizes the channel status bit
2, Copy, and channel status bit 15, L or generation
status, along with the category codes. If the Copy
bit is 0, copyright protection is asserted over the
material. Then, the L bit is used to determine if the
material is an original or a duplication. (As mentioned in the previous paragraph, the definition of
the L bit can be reversed based on the category
codes.) There are two category codes that get special attention: general and A/D converters without
C or L bit information. For these two categories the
SCMS standard requires that equipment interfacing
to these categories set the C bit to 0 (copyright protection asserted) and the L bit to1 (original). To
support this feature, Ce, in the consumer mode, is
defined as IGCAT (ignorant category) which is low
for the "general" (0000000) and "A/D converter
without copyright information" (01100xx) categories.

CS8411 CS8412
FSYNC - Frame Sync, PIN 11.
Delineates the serial data and may indicate the particular channel, left or right, and may be an
input or output. The format is based on M0, M1, M2, and M3 pins.
SDATA - Serial Data, PIN 26.
Audio data serial output pin.
M0, M1, M2, M3 - Serial Port Mode Select, PINS 23, 24, 18, 17.
Selects the format of FSYNC and the sample edge of SCK with respect to SDATA. M3 selects
between eight normal modes (M3 = 0), and six special modes (M3 = 1).
Control Pins
VERF - Validity + Error Flag, PIN 28.
A logical OR’ing of the validity bit from the received data and the error flag. May be used by
interpolation filters to interpolate through errors.
U - User Bit, PIN 14.
Received user bit serial output port. FSYNC may be used to latch this bit externally. (Except in
I2S modes when this pin is updated at the active edge of FSYNC.)
C - Channel Status Output, PIN 1.
Received channel status bit serial output port. FSYNC may be used to latch this bit externally.
(Except in I2S modes when this pin is updated at the active edge of FSYNC.)
CBL - Channel Status Block Start, PIN 15.
The channel status block output is high for the first four bytes of channel status and low for the
last 20 bytes.
SEL - Select, PIN 16.
Control pin that selects either channel status information (SEL = 1) or error and frequency
information (SEL = 0) to be displayed on six of the following pins.
C0, Ca, Cb, Cc, Cd, Ce - Channel Status Output Bits, PINS 2-6, 27.
These pins are dual function with the ’C’ bits selected when SEL is high. Channel status
information is displayed for the channel selected by CS12. C0, which is channel status bit 0,
defines professional (C0 = 0) or consumer (C0 = 1) mode and further controls the definition of
the Ca-Ce pins. These pins are updated with the rising edge of CBL.
CS12 - Channel Select, PIN 13.
This pin is also dual function and is selected by bringing SEL high. CS12 selects sub-frame1
(when low) or sub-frame2 (when high) to be displayed by channel status pins C0 and Ca
through Ce.

CS8411 CS8412
FCK - Frequency Clock, PIN 13.
Frequency Clock input that is enabled by bringing SEL low. FCK is compared to the received
clock frequency with the value displayed on F2 through F0. Nominal input value is 6.144 MHz.
E0, E1, E2 - Error Condition, PINS 4-6.
Encoded error information that is enabled by bringing SEL low. The error codes are prioritized
and latched so that the error code displayed is the highest level of error since the last clearing
of the error pins. Clearing is accomplished by bringing SEL high for more than 8 MCK cycles.
F0, F1, F2 - Frequency Reporting Bits, PINS 2-3, 27.

FCK must be input for at least two thirds of a channel status block for these pins to be valid.
They are updated three times per block, starting at the block boundary.
ERF - Error Flag, PIN 25.
Signals that an error has occurred while receiving the audio sample currently being read from
the serial port. Three errors cause ERF to go high: a parity or biphase coding violation during
the current sample, or an out of lock PLL receiver.
Receiver Interface

APPENDIX A: RS422 RECEIVER
INFORMATION
The RS422 receivers on the CS8411 and CS8412
are designed to receive both the professional and
consumer interfaces, and meet all specifications
listed in the digital audio standards. Figure 20 illustrates the internal schematic of the receiver portion
of both chips. The receiver has a differential input.
A Schmitt trigger is incorporated to add hysteresis
which prevents noisy signals from corrupting the
phase detector.

Figure 20. RS422 Receiver Internal Circuit
Professional Interface
The digital audio specifications for professional
use call for a balanced receiver, using XLR connectors, with 110Ω ± 20% impedance. (The XLR connector on the receiver should have female pins with
a male shell.) Since the receiver has a very high impedance, a 110Ω resistor should be placed across
the receiver terminals to match the line impedance,
as shown in Figure 21, and, since the part has internal biasing, no external biasing network is needed.
If some isolation is desired without the use of transformers, a 0.01 µF capacitor should be placed on
the input of each pin (RXP and RXN) as shown in
Figure 22. However, if transformers are not used,
high frequency energy could be coupled between
transmitter and receiver causing degradation in analog performance.

Although transformers are not required by AES
they are strongly recommended. The EBU requires
transformers. Figures 21 and 22 show an optional
DC blocking capacitor on the transmission line. A
0.1 to 0.47 µF ceramic capacitor may be used to
block any DC voltage that is accidentally connected to the digital audio receiver. The use of this capacitor is an issue of robustness as the digital audio
transmission line does not have a DC voltage component.
Grounding the shield of the cable is a tricky issue.
In the configuration of systems, it is important to
avoid ground loops and DC current flowing down
the shield of the cable that could result when boxes
with different ground potentials are connected.
Generally, it is good practice to ground the shield
to the chassis of the transmitting unit, and connect
the shield through a capacitor to chassis ground at
the receiver. However, in some cases it is advantagous to have the ground of two boxes held to the
same potential, and the cable shield might be depended upon to make that electrical connection.
Generally, it may be a good idea to provide the option of grounding or capacitively coupling to
ground with a "ground-lift" circuit.

Consumer Interface
TTL/CMOS Levels
In the case of the consumer interface, the standards
call for an unbalanced circuit having a receiver impedance of 75Ω ± 5%. The connector for the consumer interface is an RCA phono plug (fixed
socket described in Table IV of IEC268-11). The
receiver circuit for the consumer interface is shown
in Figure 23.
The circuit shown in Figure 24 may be used when
external RS422 receivers or TTL/CMOS logic
drive the CS8411/12 receiver section.

The CS8412 should be reset immediately after
power-up and any time the user issues a systemwide reset. This is accomplished by pulling all four
DS61F1

circuit to implement this. The OR gates can be
74LS32 type gates.
