GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Using 18-bit Sigma-Delta ADCs and DACs, the LM4546A provides 90 dB of Dynamic Range. Each mixer input has separate gain, attenuation and mute control and the mixers drive 1 mono and 1 stereo output, each with attenuation and mute control. The LM4546A supports National's 3D Sound stereo enhancement and a comprehensive sample rate conversion capability. The sample rate for the ADCs and DACs can be programmed separately with a resolution of 1 Hz to convert any rate in the range 4 kHz – 48 kHz. Sample timing from the ADCs and sample request timing for the DACs are completely deterministic to ease task scheduling and application software development. These features together with an extended temperature range also make the LM4546A suitable for non-PC codec applications. The LM4546A features the ability to connect several codecs together using the Extended AC Link configuration of one dedicated serial data signal to the Controller per codec. LM4546A systems support up to 8...
