PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The AD1859 is a complete 16-/18-bit single-chip stereo digital
audio playback subsystem. It comprises a variable rate digital
interpolation filter, a revolutionary multibit sigma-delta (∑∆)
modulator with dither, a jitter-tolerant DAC, switched capacitor
and continuous time analog filters, and analog output drive cir-
cuitry. Other features include an on-chip stereo attenuator and
mute, programmed through an SPI-compatible serial control
port.
The key differentiating feature of the AD1859 is its asynchro-
nous master clock capability. Previous ∑∆ audio DACs re-
quired a high frequency master clock at 256 or 384 times the
intended audio sample rate. The generation and management
of this high frequency synchronous clock is burdensome to the
board level designer. The analog performance of conventional
single bit ∑∆ DACs is also dependent on the spectral purity of
the sample and master clocks. The AD1859 has a digital Phase
Locked Loop (PLL) which allows the master clock to be asyn-
chronous, and which also strongly rejects jitter on the sample
clock (left/right clock). The digital PLL allows the AD1859 to
be clocked with a single frequency (27 MHz for example) while
the sample frequency (as determined from the left/right clock)
can vary over a wide range. The digital PLL will lock to the
new sample rate in approximately 100 ms. Jitter components
15 Hz above and below the sample frequency are rejected by
6 dB per octave. This level of jitter rejection is unprecedented
in audio DACs.
The AD1859 supports continuously variable sample rates with
essentially linear phase response, and with an option for external
analog de-emphasis processing. The clock circuit includes an
on-chip oscillator, so that the user need only provide an external
crystal. The oscillator may be overdriven, if desired, with an ex-
ternal clock source.
