About the TS4657
The TS4657 is a stereo digital-to analog-converter (DAC) that integrates a high-
performance audio line driver capable of generating a 2.2 Vrms output level from a single
3.0 to 5.5 V supply.
One single supply is sufficient for the digital and analog parts of the circuit, thus eliminating
the need for external regulators.
The TS4657 is a low-power consumption device. It features only 22 mW power dissipation
at a 3.0 V power supply in full operation.
A 16-bit multi-bit sigma delta DAC is used, operating at 256xFs with oversampling digital
interpolation filters. The digital audio data can be 16- to 24-bit long and sample rates from
32 to 48 kHz are supported.
The output stage signal is ground-referenced by using an internal self-generated negative
power supply, and as such external bulky output coupling capacitors are not necessary.
The TS4657 features the following.

Description of the demonstration board
The TS4657 demonstration board has been designed for evaluation purposes. The TS4657
device is soldered on a two-layer PCB.
Some key features of the TS4657 can be directly controlled through connectors or jumpers
on the demonstration board (Table

Allows selection of level on Format1 pin. Format1 and Format2 pins select the digital
input format (see
section 4.1.2 Digital audio input format
in the TS4657 datasheet).
If the jumper is removed, it is possible to control the Format1 by an external logic
signal (see
section 3.3 DAC and output stage performances
in the TS4657
datasheet).
Allows selection of level on Format2 pin. Format1 and Format2 pins select the digital
input format (see
section 4.1.2 Digital audio input format
in the TS4657 datasheet).
If the jumper is removed, it is possible to control the Format2 by an external logic
signal (see
section 3.3 DAC and output stage performances
in the TS4657
datasheet).
Controls the chip standby (JP1:1-2 = circuit activated, 2-3 = circuit in standby mode).
If the jumper is removed, it is possible to control the standby by an external logic
signal (see
section 3.3 DAC and output stage performances
in the TS4657
datasheet).
Allows connection of the C6 capacitor (used for the left output filter;
see
Section 3.3: Output filters on page 6).
Allows short-circuiting of the R5 resistor (used for the left output filter; see
Section 3.3: Output filters on page 6).

Serial data input configuration
The TS4657 receives serial digital audio data through a 3-wire interface. SDAT is the serial
audio data input. The data is entered MSB first and is a two’s complement. The data can be
I
2
S, right- or left-justified. The data format is chosen with the control pins FORMAT1 and
FORMAT2 as detailed in
Table 3.
The level on both of these pins should be fixed before waking-up the chip.

Sample rate capability
Three external clock signals are applied to the TS4657. The MCLK is the external master
clock applied by the audio data processor. The LRCLK is the channel frequency, also called
LEFT/RIGHT clock, at which the digital words for each channel are input to the device. The
LRCLK clock is the sample rate of the audio data. The ratio MCLK/LRCLK must be an
integer, as shown in
Table 4.
The BCLK is the bit clock and represents the clock at which the audio data is serially shifted
into the audio port. BCLK is linked to LRCLK. The minimum required BCLK frequency is
twice the audio sample rate multiplied by the number of bits in each audio word. Refer to
Table 3
for the BCLK/LRCLK ratio. MCLK, LRCLK and BCLK must be synchronous clock
signals.
