96 kHz IEC 958 audio DAC
Preliminary specification
UDA1351TS
8 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The UDA1351TS is a low cost audio IEC 958 decoder with
an on-board DAC. The minimum audio input sampling
frequency conforming to the IEC958 standard is 28.0 kHz
and the maximum audio sampling frequency is 100.0 kHz.
8.1 Clock regeneration and lock detection
The UDA1351TS contains an on-board PLL for
regenerating a system clock from the IEC 958 input
bitstream.
Note: If there is no input signal, the PLL generates a
minimum frequency and the output spectrum shifts
accordingly. Since the analog output does not have an
analog mute, this means noise that is out of band under
normal conditions can move into the audio band.
When the on-board clock locks to the incoming frequency,
the lock indicator bit is set and can be read via the
L3 interface. Internally, the PLL lock indication is
combined with the PCM status bit of the input data stream.
When both the IEC 958 decoder and the on-board clock
have locked to the incoming signal and the input data
stream is PCM data, pin LOCK will be asserted. However,
when the IC is locked but the PCM status bit reports
non-PCM data, pin LOCK is returned to LOW level.
The lock indication output can be used, for example, for
muting purposes. The lock signal can be used to drive an
external analog muting circuit to prevent out of band noise
from becoming audible when the PLL runs at its minimum
frequency (e.g. when there is no SPDIF input signal).
8.2 Mute
The UDA1351TS is equipped with a cosine roll-off mute in
the DSP data path of the DAC part. Muting the DAC, by
pin MUTE (in static mode) or via bit MT (in L3 mode), will
result in a soft mute, as shown in Fig.3. The cosine roll-off
soft mute takes 32 x 32 samples = 24 ms at 44.1 kHz
sampling frequency.
When operating in the L3 control mode, the device will
mute on start-up. In L3 mode, it is necessary to explicitly
switch off the mute for audio output by means of the MT bit
in the L3 register.
In the L3 mode, pin MUTE does not have any function (the
same holds for several other pins) and can either be left
open circuit (since it has an internal pull-down resistor) or
be connected to ground.

8.3 Auto mute
By default, the DAC outputs will be muted until the IC is
locked, regardless of the level on pin MUTE (in static
mode) or the state of bit MT of the sound feature register
(in L3 mode). In this way, only valid data will be passed to
the outputs. This mute is done in the SPDIF interface and
is a hard mute, not a cosine roll-off mute.
If needed, this muting can be bypassed by setting
bit AutoMT to logic 0 via the L3 interface. As a result, the
IC will no longer mute during out-of-lock situations.
8.4 Data path
The UDA1351TS data path consists of the IEC 958
decoder, the audio feature processor, digital interpolator
and noise shaper and the DACs.
8.4.1 IEC 958 INPUT
The UDA1351TS IEC 958 decoder features an on-chip
amplifier with hysteresis, which amplifies the IEC 958 input
signal to CMOS level (see Fig.4).
All 24 bits of data for left and right are extracted from the
input bitstream as well as several of the IEC 958 key
channel-status bits.
