4.1.1
Master clock and data clocks
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
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 times the number of bits in each audio word. Refer to
Table 10for the BCLK/LRCLK ratio.
MCLK, LRCLK and BCLK must be synchronous clock signals.
4.1.2
Digital audio input format
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
I2S, right or left justified. The data format is chosen with the control pins FORMAT1 and
