Shown in Figure 5 is a circuit for obtaining a 3 dB improve-
ment in dynamic range by using both channels of a single AD1870
with a mono input. A stereo implementation would require
using two AD1870s and using the recommended input structure
shown in Figure 2. Note that a single microprocessor would likely
be able to handle the averaging requirements for both left and
right channels.

Modes of Operation
The AD1870
’
s flexible serial output port produces data in
two
’
s-complement, MSB-first format. The input and output sig-
nals are TTL-logic-level-compatible. Time multiplexed serial
data is output on SOUT (Pin 26), left channel then right chan-
nel, as determined by the left/right clock signal L
R
CK (Pin 1).
Note that there is no method for forcing the right channel to
precede the left channel. The port is configured by pin selec-
tions. The AD1870 can operate in either master or slave mode,
with the data in right-justified, I

controlled or left-justified positions.
The various mode options are pin-programmed with the S/
M
(Slave/
Master
) Pin (7), the Right/
Left
Justify Pin (21), and the
MSBDLY
Pin (22). The function of these pins is summarized
as follows:

WCLK is detected HI. WCLK is sampled on the BCLK active
edge, with the MSB valid on the next BCLK active edge. Tying
WCLK HI results in I
