PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL DATA
Audio Outputs
The AD1955 audio outputs sink a current proportional to the input signal, superimposed on a steady state current. The current-to-
voltage (I/V) converters used need to be able to supply this steady state current as well as the signal current or a resistor or current
source can be used to a positive voltage to null this current to center the range of the I/V converters. Active I/V converters should be
used, referenced to FILTR, and should hold the DAC outputs at this voltage level. Passive I/V conversion should not be used as the
DAC performance will be seriously degraded.
Serial Control Port
The AD1955 has an SPI compatible control port to permit programming the internal control registers. The SPI control port is a three
wire serial port. Its format is similar to the Motorola SPI format except that the input data word is 16-bits wide. The serial bit clock
may be completely asynchronous to the sample rate of the DAC. The following figure shows the format of the SPI signal. Note that
the CCLK may be continuous or a 16-clock burst.
