DESCRIPTION
The LM4550B is an audio codec for PC systems
which is fully PC99 compliant and performs the
analog intensive functions of the AC '97 Rev 2.1
architecture. Using 18-bit Sigma-Delta ADCs and
DACs, the LM4550B provides 90 dB of Dynamic
Range.
The LM4550B 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 ADCs and DACs and analog mixers
with access to 4 stereo and 4 mono inputs. Each
mixer input has separate gain, attenuation and mute
control and the mixers drive 1 mono and 2 stereo
outputs, each with attenuation and mute control. The
LM4550B provides a stereo headphone amplifier as
one of its stereo outputs and also supports Texas
Instruments' 3D Sound stereo enhancement and a
comprehensive sample rate conversion capability.
The sample rate for the ADCs and DACs can be
programmed separately with a resolution of 1 Hz to
convert any rate in the range 4 kHz – 48 kHz. Sample
timing from the ADCs and sample request timing for
the DACs are completely deterministic to ease task
scheduling and application software development.
These features together with an extended
temperature range also make the LM4550B suitable
for non-PC codec applications.
The LM4550B features the ability to connect several
codecs together in a system to provide up to 6
simultaneous channels of streaming data on Output
Frames (Controller to Codec) for surround sound
applications. Such systems can also support up to 8
simultaneous channels of streaming data on Input
Frames (Codec to Controller). Multiple codec systems
can be built either using the standard AC Link
configuration (i.e. of one serial data signal to the
Controller per codec) or using a unique Texas
Instruments feature for chaining codecs together.
This chain feature shares only a single data signal to
the controller among multiple codecs.
The AC '97 architecture separates the analog and
digital functions of the PC audio system allowing both
for system design flexibility and increased
performance.
