Economy audio CODEC
UDA1345TS
L3 interface
The UDA1345TS has a microcontroller input mode. In the
microcontroller mode, all of the digital sound processing
features and the system controlling features can be
controlled by the microcontroller. The controllable features
are:
System clock frequency
Data input format
Power control
DC filtering
De-emphasis
Volume
Mute.
The exchange of data and control information between the
microcontroller and the UDA1345TS is accomplished
through a serial hardware interface comprising the
following pins:
L3DATA: microcontroller interface data line
L3MODE: microcontroller interface mode line
L3CLOCK: microcontroller interface clock line.
InformationtransferviathemicrocontrollerbusisLSBfirst,
and is organized in accordance with the so called ‘L3’
format, in which two different modes of operation can be
distinguished; address mode and data transfer mode
(see Figs 4 and 5).
The address mode is required to select a device
communicating via the L3-bus and to define the
destination register set for the data transfer mode. Data
transfer for the UDA1345TS can only be in one direction:
for the UDA1345TS, data can only be written to the device.
Important
: since the UDA1345TS does not have a
Power-up reset circuit, after power up the L3 interface
registers MUST be initialized.
A
DDRESS MODE
The address mode is used to select a device for
subsequent data transfer and to define the destination
register set (DATA or STATUS). The address mode is
characterized by L3MODE being LOW and a burst of
8 pulses on L3CLOCK, accompanied by 8 data bits.
The fundamental timing is shown in Fig.4. Data
bits 0 and 1 indicate the type of subsequent data transfer
as given in Table 12.
Table 12
Selection of data transfer
Data bits 7 to 2 represent a 6-bit device address, with bit 7
being the MSB and bit 2 the LSB. The address of the
UDA1345TS is 000101 (bit 7 to bit 2). In the event that the
UDA1345TS receives a different address, it will deselect
its microcontroller interface logic.
D
ATA TRANSFER MODE
The selection preformed in the address mode remains
active during subsequent data transfers, until the
UDA1345TS receives a new address command.
The fundamental timing of data transfers is essentially the
same as in the address mode, shown in Fig.4. The
maximum input clock and data rate is 128f
s
. All transfers
are byte wise, i.e. they are based on groups of 8 bits. Data
will be stored in the UDA1345TS after the eighth bit of a
byte has been received. A multibyte transfer is illustrated
in Fig.6.
Programming the sound processing and other features
The feature values are stored in independent registers.
Thefirstselectionoftheregistersisachievedbythechoice
of data type that is transferred, being DATA or STATUS.
This is performed in the address mode, bit 1 and bit 0
(see Table 12). The second selection is performed by the
2 MSBs of the data byte (bit 7 and bit 6). The other bits in
the data byte (bit 5 to bit 0) are the values that are placed
in the selected registers.
When the data transfer of type DATA is selected, the
features Volume, De-emphasis, Mute and Power control
can be controlled. When the data transfer of type STATUS
is selected, the features system clock frequency, data
input format and DC filter can be controlled.
