Philips Semiconductors
Bitstream Continuous Calibration DAC with
digital sound processing (BCC-DAC)
Preliminary specification
TDA1546T
1 FEATURES
1.1 Easy application
• Voltage output 1.5 V (RMS)
• Operational amplifiers and cascaded 4-stage digital FIR
filter integrated
• Master and slave mode clock system with selectable
system clock (fsys) 256fs or 384fs
• I2S-bus serial input format or Japanese 16, 18 or 20 bits
serial input mode
• All features are accessible under remote control
• Simple 3-line serial microcontroller command interface
• Power-on reset
• 28 lead small outline package.
1.2 High performance
• Superior signal-to-noise ratio
• Low total harmonic distortion
• Wide dynamic range
• No zero crossing distortion
• Continuous calibration digital-to-analog conversion
combined with noise shaping techniques
• Second-order noise shaper
• 128 times oversampling in normal-speed mode
• 64 times oversampling in double-speed mode.
1.3 Digital sound processing features
1.3.1 VOLUME CONTROL FEATURES
• Smoothed transitions before and after digital mute (soft
mute)
• Fade function: duration-programmable (6 ms to 22.4 s
at 44.1 kHz) digital volume control (attenuation as well
as gain): +6 dB to −90 dB in steps of 0.375 dB with
automatic soft mute
• Digital balance: 0 dB to −22.5 dB in steps of −1.5 dB
(maximum overall attenuation combined with volume
control: −90 dB)
1.3.2 SOUND PROCESSING FEATURES
• Digital de-emphasis filter for three sample rates (32 kHz,
44.1 kHz or 48 kHz)
• Digital treble: −10.5 dB to +12 dB at 20 kHz; 16 steps
spaced at 1.5 dB
• Digital bass: −9 dB to +13.5 dB at 20 Hz; 16 steps
spaced at 1.5 dB
• Distortion-free digital dynamic bass boost: 0 dB to
+37 dB at 10 Hz; 15 steps spaced at 2 dB
• Can be used for loudness or dynamic digital bass boost
• Double-speed mode (e.g. for high-speed dubbing)
• Pseudo double-speed mode (for power saving
application)
• Digital speaker system mode including digital crossover
filter.
1.3.3 SOUND MONITOR FEATURES
• Spectrum analyzer for seven different frequency ranges
• Digital silence detection. Level (−48 dB to ∞ dB, in steps
of 3 dB) and duration (200 ms to 3.2 s, in steps of
200 ms at 44.1 kHz) programmable. Output via versatile
pins.
• Peak level detection and readout to microcontroller
(dB linear, 0 dB to −90 dB in steps of 1.5 dB)
• Digital overload detection. Level-programmable (dB
linear, −1.5 dB to −46.5 dB, in steps of 3 dB). Output via
versatile pins.
• Digital spectrum analyzer by combination of peak
detection and 7-band selective filter
• Optional combination spectrum analyzer and overload
detection for frequency-dependent overload detection.
