DAISY-CHAIN MODE

The AD1939 also allows a daisy-chain configuration to expand

the system to 8 ADCs and 16 DACs (see Figure 18). In this

DAC TDM data stream belong to the first AD1939 in the chain

and the last eight slots belong to the second AD1939. The second

AD1939 is the device attached to the DSP TDM port.

To accommodate 16 channels at a 96 kHz sample rate, the

AD1939 can be configured into a dual-line, TDM mode as

shown in Figure 19. This mode allows a slower DBCLK than

normally required by the one-line TDM mode.

Again, the first four channels of each TDM input belong to the

first AD1939 in the chain and the last four channels belong to

the second AD1939.

The dual-line TDM mode can also be used to send data at a

192 kHz sample rate into the AD1939 as shown in Figure 20.

There are two configurations for the ADC port to work in

shown in Figure 21. The second configuration is shown in

channels occupy the first eight slots; the second eight slots are

empty. The TDM_IN of the first AD1939 must be grounded in

all modes of operation.

The I/O pins of the serial ports are defined according to the

serial mode selected. See Table 13 for a detailed description of

the function of each pin. See Figure 26 for a typical AD1939

configuration with two external stereo DACs and two external

stereo ADCs.

Figure 23 through Figure 25 show the serial mode formats. For

maximum flexibility, the polarity of LRCLK and BCLK are

programmable. In these figures, all of the clocks are shown with

DLRCLK
