CS43L42
6. APPLICATIONS
6.1 Grounding and Power Supply
Decoupling
As with any high resolution converter, the
CS43L42 requires careful attention to power sup-
ply and grounding arrangements to optimize per-
formance. Figure 6 shows the recommended power
arrangement with VA, VA_HP, VA_LINE and VL
connected to clean supplies. Decoupling capacitors
should be located as close to the device package as
possible. If desired, all supply pins may be con-
nected to the same supply, but a decoupling capac-
itor should still be used on each supply pin.
6.2 Clock Modes
The CS43L42 operates in one of two clocking
modes. Base Rate Mode supports input sample
rates up to 50 kHz, and High Rate Mode supports
input sample rates up to 100 kHz, see Table 10 and
11. All clock modes use 64x oversampling.
6.3 De-Emphasis
The CS43L42 includes on-chip digital de-empha-
sis. Figure 30 shows the de-emphasis curve for Fs
equal to 44.1 kHz. The frequency response of the
de-emphasis curve will scale proportionally with
changes in sample rate, Fs.
The de-emphasis feature is included to accommo-
date older audio recordings that utilize pre-empha-
sis equalization as a means of noise reduction.
6.4 Recommended Power-up Sequence
1) Hold RST low until the power supply, master
clock and left/right clock are stable. In this
state, the control port is reset to its default set-
tings and VQ_HP and VQ_LINE will remain
low. Set the CP/SA pin at this time.
2) Bring RST high. The device will remain in a
low power state and latch CP/SA, and VQ_HP
and VQ_LINE remain low. If CP/SA is high,
the control port will be accessible at this time
and the desired register settings can be loaded
while keeping the PDN bit set to 1. If CP/SA is
low, the device will begin the stand-alone pow-
er-up sequence
3) (For Control Port Mode) Once the registers are
configured as desired, set the PDN bit to 0, ini-
tiating the power-up sequence. This requires
approximately 50 µS when the PopGuard®
Transient Control (POR) bit is set to 0. If the
POR bit is set to 1, see PopGuard® Transient
Control for total power-up timing.
6.5 PopGuard® Transient Control
The CS43L42 uses PopGuard® technology to min-
imize the effects of output transients during pow-
er-up and power-down. This technique minimizes
the audio transients commonly produced by sin-
gle-ended, single-supply converters when it is im-
plemented with external DC-blocking capacitors
connected in series with the audio outputs.
When the device is initially powered-up, the audio
outputs, AOUTA, AOUTB, HP_A and HP_B are
clamped to GND. Following a delay of approxi-
mately 1000 sample periods, each output begins to
ramp toward the quiescent voltage. Approximately
10,000 left/right clock cycles later, the outputs
reach VQ_LINE and VQ_HP respectively, and audio
output begins. This gradual voltage ramping allows
time for the external DC-blocking capacitor to
charge to the quiescent voltage, minimizing the
power-up transient.
To prevent transients at power-down, the device
must first enter its power-down state. When this oc-
curs, audio output ceases and the internal output
buffers are disconnected from AOUTA, AOUTB,
HP_A and HP_B. In their place, a soft-start current
sink is substituted which allows the DC-blocking
capacitors to slowly discharge. Once this charge is
dissipated, the power to the device may be turned
off, and the system is ready for the next power-on.
