Confidential - Shaw Electronics LLC Sabre32 Reference Datasheet CONFIDENTIAL ADVANCE INFORMATION Rev. 1.2 February 11, 2010 www.esstech.com Vista High Definition Vista High Definition FEATURE DESCRIPTION Soft Mute When Mute is asserted the output signal will ramp to the -∞ level. When Mute is reset the attenuation level will ramp back up to the previous level set by the volume control register. Asserting Mute will not change the value of the volume control register. The ramp rate is 0.0078125*FS dB/s, where FS = DATA_CLK/64 in PCM serial or DSD modes, or SPDIF sampling rate in SPDIF mode. Automute Loopback During an automute condition the external automute pin will always be asserted, however the ramping of the volume of each DAC DAC to -∞ can now be programmatically enabled or disabled. Zero Detect The use of the zero detect function to drive an external mute circuit is not required, but is recommended for designs that need the absolute maximum signal-to-noise ratios on an idle channel. o In PCM serial mode, the Zero Detect output pin “AUTOMUTE” will become active once the audio data is continuously below the threshold set by <Register Automute_lev>, for a length of time defined by 2096896/(<Register#9>*DATA_CLK) Seconds. o In SPDIF mode, the Zero Detect output pin “AUTOMUTE” will become active once the audio data is continuously below the threshold set by <Register Automute_lev>, for a length of time defined by 2096896/(<Register#9>*(64*FS) Seconds, where FS is the SPDIF sampling rate. o In the DSD Mode, the Zero Detect output pin “AUTOMUTE” will become active when any 8 consecutive values in the DSD stream have as many 1’s and 0’s for a length of time defined by 2096896/(<Register Automute_time>*DATA_CLK) Seconds. The following table summarizes the conditions. Mode Detection Condition Time PCM Data is continuously lower than <Register Automute_lev > 2096896/(<Register Automute_time >*DATA_CLK) SPDIF Data is continuously lower than <Register Automute_lev > 2096896/(<Register Automute_time >*(64*FS)) where FS is the SPDIF sampling rate DSD Equal number of 1s and 0s in every 8 bits of data 2096896/(<Register Automute_time >*DATA_CLK) Table5 Volume Control Each output channel has its own attenuation circuit. The attenuation for each channel is controlled independently. Each channel can be attenuated from 0dB to –127dB in 0.5dB steps. Each 0.5dB step transition takes 64 intermediate levels. The result being that the level changes are done using small enough steps so that no switching noise occurs during the transition of the volume control. When a new volume level is set, the attenuation circuit will ramp softly to the new level. Master Trim The master trim sets the 0dB reference level for the volume control of each DAC. The master trim is programmable via registers 20-23 and is a 32bit signed number. Therefore it should never exceed 32'h7FFFFFFF (as this is full-scale signed). All Mono Mode The SABRE32can be put into an all mono mode where all eight DACs are driven from the same source. This can be useful for high-end audio applications. The source data for all eight DACs can be programmatically configured to be either PCM CH1 or CH2.

Confidential - Shaw Electronics LLC Sabre32 Reference Datasheet February 11, 2010 CONFIDENTIAL ADVANCE INFORMATION Rev. 1.2 www.esstech.com Vista High Definition Vista High Definition De-emphasis The de-emphasis feature is included for audio data that has utilized the 50/15uS pre-emphasis for noise reduction. There are 3 de-emphasis filters, one for 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz. The de-emphasis filter can automatically be applied when an SPDIF stream sets the de-emphasis flag. It will auto detect the sample rate (32k, 44.1k, 48k) in either consumer or professional formats and then apply the correct de-emphasis filter. The automatic enabling of the de-emphasis filter can be disabled in Register 17 <en_auto>. OSF Bypass The oversampling FIR filter can be bypassed, sourcing data directly into the IIR filter. ESS recommends using 8*Fs as the input. For example, an external signal at 44.1kHz can be oversampled externally to 8*44.1kHz = 352.8kHz and then applied to the serial decoder in either I2S, LJ or RJ format. The maximum sample rate that can be applied is 1.536MHz (8*192kHz). SPDIF Data Select An SPDIF source multiplexer allows for up to eight SPDIF sources to be connected to the data pins on the SABRE 32 Reference . The SABRE 32 Reference uses an internal programmable register to select the appropriate data pin to decode. SPDIF input can be automatically decoded when there is valid SPDIF data if Register 17 <spdif_autodetect> is enabled. Programmable Filter The FIR filter can be programmed with custom coefficients to achieve an arbitrary frequency response that suits the needs of the product. The two stage interpolated filter exploits the symmetry of the coefficients to achieve a very sharp frequency response while using only 64 coefficients for the stage one filter and 14 coefficients for the stage two filter. Custom coefficients can be enabled via register 37 <prog_coeff_enabled> and can be programmed via the method explained in the FIR Programmable Filters section. The length of the stage 2 filter is configurable to either 27 or 28 coefficients via register 17 <fir_length>. System Clock (XI / MCLK) A system clock is required for proper operation of the digital filters and modulation circuitry. Maximum clock frequency is 100MHz. The system clock must also satisfy: Data Type Valid MCLK Frequencies DSD Data 100MHz > MCLK > 3*Fs , Fs = 2.8224MHz Serial Normal Mode 100MHz > MCLK > 192*Fs Serial OSF Bypass Mode 100MHz > MCLK > 24*Fs SPDIF Data 100MHz > MCLK > 386*Fs Data Clock DATA_CLOCK must be 64*Fs for SERIAL, Fs for DSD modes, and is not required for SPDIF mode. This pin should be pulled low if not used. Built-in Digital Filters There are numerous applications for a stereo DAC so for added flexibility; two digital filter settings are possible, sharp roll-off and a slow roll-off for PCM mode. For DSD mode, there are 4 available filters with cutoffs at 47kHz, 50kHz, 60kHz, and 70kHz.

The sample rate can be calculated using: Fin = (DPLL_NUM * Fcrystal ) / 2 32 . Fin must be divided by 64 for I 2S data. DAC-bar Phase Each DAC-bar phase can be configured to be in phase with DAC. This allows for the outputs of the DAC to be summed to drive an amplifier. DPLL Lock Reset The DPLL can be forced to relock, which is useful when the sample rate has been changed. This can be done by setting Register 17 <dpll_lock_rst_reg> high to force the reset, and then low to resume normal operation. DPLL Frequency Phase Flip The DPLL can be set to lock to either the rising or falling edge of the clock. This can be set using Register 17 <fin_phase_flip>. PCM Audio Interface Formats Several interface formats are provided so that direct connection to common audio processors is possible. The available formats and their accompanying diagrams are listed in the following table. The audio interface format can be set by programming the registers. Format Description Figure

32 Reference has a two stage interpolating filter with both built-in and programmable

coefficients. Each stage can be programmed and enabled independently. Each channel can also have a different filter per stage. Each stage of the FIR filter either uses the built-in coefficients, or the programmable coefficients. Register 37 bits 5 and 1 are used for setting the filter coefficient sources. Programming the filter requires passing every coefficient for all 8 channels to the SABRE

32 Reference via

I2C. Stage 1 and Stage 2 must be programmed independently. Programming starts by enabling the appropriate enable_programming bit in register 37. To program stage 1, bit 4 of register 37 must be set high. Then the 32bit coefficients are written to registers 41 (Bits [31:24]), 40 (Bits[23:16]), 39 (Bits[15:8]), 38 (Bits[7:0]) in that order. The first write to these 4 consecutive register is the 32-bit value for Channel1, coefficient1. The next write to these 4 consecutive registers is the 32-bit value for Channel2, coefficient1. After 8 writes to these 4 consecutive registers, coefficient 2 for all 8 filters is ready to be input. There are 64 coefficients to write for Stage 1. So that is 4 bytes per coefficient, 8 channels and 64 coefficients for a total of 2048 bytes to program the stage 1. Once complete, zero must be written to register 38. Bit 4 of register 37 must then be set low to finalize the programming. To program stage 2, bit 0 of register 37 must be set high. Then the 32bit coefficients are written to registers 45 (Bits [31:24]), 44 (Bits [23:16]), 43 (Bits [15:8]), 42 (Bits [7:0]), in that order. The first write to these 4 consecutive register is the 32-bit value for Channel1, coefficient1. The next write to these 4 consecutive registers is the 32-bit value for Channel2, coefficient1. After 8 writes to these 4 consecutive registers, coefficient 2 for all 8 filters is ready to be input. There are 16 coefficients to write for Stage 2. So that is 4 bytes per coefficient, 8 channels and 16 coefficients for a total of 512 bytes to program the stage 1. Once complete, zero must be written to register 42. Bit 0 of register 37 must then be set low to finalize the programming.
