LM4546
AC ’97 Rev 2 Codec with Sample Rate Conversion and
National 3D Sound
General Description
The LM4546 is an audio codec for PC systems which is fully
PC98 compliant and performs the analog intensive functions
of the AC97 Rev 2 architecture. Using 18-bit Sigma-Delta
A/D’s and D/A’s, the LM4546 provides 90dB of Dynamic
Range.
The LM4546 was designed specifically to provide a high
quality audio path and provide all analog functionality in a PC
audio system. It features full duplex stereo A/D’s and D/A’s
and an analog mixer with 2 stereo and 3 mono inputs, each
of which has separate gain, attenuation and mute control.
The LM4546 also provides National’s 3D Sound stereo en-
hancement.
The LM4546 supports variable sample rate conversion as
defined in the AC97 Rev2 specification. The sample rate for
the A/D and D/A can be programmed separately to convert
any rate between 4kHz - 48kHz with a resolution of 1Hz. The
AC97 architecture separates the analog and digital functions
of the PC audio system allowing both for system design flex-
ibility and increased performance.
