DESCRIPTION
The PCM1739 is a CMOS, monolithic, integrated
circuit which includes stereo 24-bit audio digital-to-
analog converters and support circuitry in a small
SSOP-28 package. The data converters utilize Burr-
Brown’s enhanced multi-level delta-sigma architec-
ture, which employs 4th-order noise shaping and
8-level amplitude quantization to achieve excellent
dynamic performance and improved tolerance to clock
jitter. The PCM1739 accepts industry-standard audio
data formats with 16- or 24-bit data, providing easy
interfacing to audio DSP and decoder chips. Sampling
rates up to 192kHz are supported.

ELECTROSTATIC
DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Burr-Brown
recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling
and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation
to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may
be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric
changes could cause the device not to meet its published
specifications.

PCM1739
FIGURE 1. System Clock Input Timing.
SYSTEM CLOCK AND RESET
FUNCTIONS
SYSTEM CLOCK INPUT
The PCM1739 requires a system clock for operating the
digital interpolation filters and multi-level delta-sigma modu-
lators. The system clock is applied at the SCLK input (pin
5). Table I shows examples of system clock frequencies for
common audio sampling rates.
Figure 1 shows the timing requirements for the system clock
input. For optimal performance, it is important to use a clock
source with low phase jitter and noise. Burr-Brown’s
PLL1700 multi-clock generator is an excellent choice for
providing the PCM1739 system clock.
SYSTEM CLOCK OUTPUT
A buffered version of the system clock input is available at
the CLKO output (pin 4). CLKO operates at the same
frequency as the system clock, SCLK.
POWER-ON AND EXTERNAL RESET FUNCTIONS
The PCM1739 includes a power-on reset function. Figure 2
shows the operation of this function. The system clock input
at SCLK should be active for at least one clock period prior
to VDD = 2.0V. With the system clock active and VDD >
2.0V, the power-on reset function will be enabled. The
initialization sequence requires 1024 system clocks from the
time VDD > 2.0V. The PCM1739 also includes an external
reset capability using the RSTB input (pin 22). This allows
an external controller or master reset circuit to force the
PCM1739 to initialize to its reset default state. For normal
operation, RSTB should be set to a logic ‘1’.
Figure 3 shows the external reset operation and timing. The
RSTB pin is set to logic ‘0’ for a minimum of 20ns. The
RSTB pin is then set to a logic ‘1’ state, which starts the
initialization sequence, which lasts for 1024 system clock
periods.
The external reset is especially useful in applications where
there is a delay between PCM1739 power up and system
clock activation. In this case, the RSTB pin should be held
at a logic ‘0’ level until the system clock has been activated.

AUDIO SERIAL INTERFACE
The audio serial interface for the PCM1739 is comprised
of a 3-wire synchronous serial port. It includes LRCK (pin
1), BCLK (pin 3), and DATA (pin 2). BCLK is the serial
audio bit clock, and is used to clock the serial data present
on DATA into the audio interface’s serial shift registers.
Serial data is clocked into the PCM1739 on the rising edge
of BCLK. LRCK is the serial audio left/right word clock.
It is used to latch serial data into the serial audio interface’s
internal registers.
Both LRCK and BCLK must be synchronous to the system
clock. Ideally, it is recommended that LRCK and BCLK
be derived from the system clock input or output, SCLK or
CLKO. The left/right clock, LRCK, is operated at the
sampling frequency (fS). The bit clock, BCK, may be
operated at 48 or 64 times the sampling frequency.
AUDIO DATA FORMATS AND TIMING
The PCM1739 supports industry-standard audio data for-
mats, including Standard and I2S. The audio data word
length may be either 24 or 16 bits. Data format and word
length are selected using the FORM and IBIT pins, as
described in the Mode Controls section of this data sheet.
All formats require Binary Two’s Complement, MSB-first
audio data. The data formats are shown in Figure 4, while
Figure 5 shows a detailed timing diagram for the serial
audio interface.
MODE CONTROLS
This section describes the mode control pins used to configure
the operating mode of the PCM1739.
AUDIO DATA FORMAT
The data format used by the audio serial interface is selected
using the FORM input (pin 28). The formats available
include Standard and I2S. Table II shows the FORM pin
configuration.

4x/8x DIGITAL INTERPOLATION
The PCM1739’s digital filter may be configured for either
4x or 8x oversampling. The 8x oversampling setting is
utilized for sampling frequencies up to 96kHz, while 4x
oversampling is utilized for 192kHz operation. The FILT
input (pin 20) is used to select the oversampling rate of the
digital filter. Table IV shows the FILT pin configuration.
SOFT MUTE
The Soft Mute function provides for quiet muting of the
DAC outputs, VOUTL (pin 16) and VOUTR (pin 13). This is
done by ramping an internal digital attenuator from unity
gain to digital mute (all 0’s input to the digital filter). The
MUTE input (pin 21) is used to enable and disable the Soft
Mute function. Table V shows the MUTE pin configuration.
DIGITAL DE-EMPHASIS
The PCM1739 provides a De-emphasis function for sam-
pling rates equal to 32kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz. It is incorpo-
rated into the digital filter of the PCM1739. The De-empha-
sis function is required for proper playback of early audio
compact disks (CDs), which were mastered with signal
emphasis for higher frequencies in the audio band. This was
done to improve the poor high frequency performance of
early CD players. Plots of the de-emphasis filter and error
functions for 32kHz, 44.1kHz, and 48kHz are shown in the
Typical Performance Curves section of this data sheet.
The DEM0 (pin 26) and DEM1 (pin 27) inputs of the
PCM1739 are used to enable and disable the digital de-
emphasis function. Table VI shows the DEM0 and DEM1
pin configurations.
ANALOG OUTPUTS
The PCM1739 includes two independent output channels;
VOUTL (pin 16) and VOUTR (pin 13). These are unbalanced
outputs, each capable of driving 3.1Vp-p typical into a 5kΩ,
AC-coupled load (VCC = +5V). The internal output ampli-
fiers for VOUTL and VOUTR are DC biased to a DC common-
mode (or bipolar zero) voltage, equal to VCC/2.
The output amplifiers include an RC continuous time filter,
which helps to reduce the out-of-band noise energy present
at the DAC outputs due to the noise shaping characteristics
of the PCM1739’s delta-sigma D/A converters. The fre-

quency response of this filter is shown in Figure 6. By itself,
this filter is not enough to attenuate the out-of-band noise to
an acceptable level for most applications. An external low-
pass filter is required to provide sufficient out-of-band noise
rejection. Further discussion of DAC post filter circuits is
provided in the Applications Information section of this data
sheet.
FIGURE 7. Biasing External Circuits Using the VCOML and VCOMR Pins.
VCOML AND VCOMR OUTPUTS
Two unbuffered, DC common-mode voltage output pins,
VCOML (pin 17) and VCOMR (pin 12), are brought out for
decoupling purposes. These pins are normally biased to a
DC voltage level equal to VCC/2. These pins may be used to
bias external circuits, but they must be connected to high
impedance nodes. Figure 7 shows examples of the proper use
of the VCOML and VCOMR pins for external biasing applica-
tions.
ZERO FLAG OUTPUTS
The PCM1739 includes circuitry for detecting an all zero
data condition for the data input pin, DATA. Zero detection
for each output channel is independent from the other. If the
data for a given channel remains at a ‘0’ level for 1024
sample periods (or LRCK clock periods), a Zero Detect
condition exists for the that channel. Given that a Zero
Detect condition exists, the Zero Flag pin(s) for the corre-
sponding channel(s) will be set to a logic ‘1’ state. The zero
flag outputs include ZEROL (pin 23) and ZEROR (pin 24).
These pins can be used to operate external mute circuits, or
used as status indicators for audio signal processor,
microcontroller, or other digitally-controlled functions.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
CONNECTION DIAGRAM
A basic connection diagram with the necessary power sup-
ply bypassing and decoupling components is shown in
Figure 8. Burr-Brown recommends using the component
values shown in Figure 8 for all designs.
The use of series resistors (22 to 100) is recommended
for the SCLK, LRCK, BCLK, and DATA inputs. The series
resistor combines with the stray PCB and device input
capacitance to form a low-pass filter, which reduces high
frequency noise emissions and helps to dampen glitches and
ringing present on clock and data lines.
POWER SUPPLIES AND GROUNDING
The PCM1739 requires a +5V analog supply and a +3.3V
digital supply. The +5V supply is used to power the DAC
analog and output filter circuitry, while the +3.3V supply is
used to power the digital filter and logic circuitry. For best
performance, the +3.3V supply should be derived from the
+5V supply using a linear regulator, shown in Figure 8.
Burr-Brown’s REG1117-3.3 is an ideal choice for this appli-
cation.
Proper power supply bypassing is shown in Figure 8. The
bypass capacitors should be located as close as possible to
the PCM1739 package. The 1µF and 10µF capacitors should
be tantalum or aluminum electrolytic, while the 0.1µF ca-
pacitors are ceramic (X7R type is recommended for surface
mount applications).
D/A OUTPUT CIRCUITS
Delta-sigma D/A converters utilize noise-shaping techniques
to improve in-band Signal-to-Noise (SNR) performance at
the expense of generating increased out-of-band noise above
the Nyquist Frequency, or fS/2. The out-of-band noise must
be low-pass filtered in order to provide optimal converter
performance. This is accomplished by a combination of on-
chip and external low pass filtering.
Figures 7a and 9 show the recommended external low pass
active filter circuits for dual and single-supply applications.
These circuits are 2nd-order filters using the Multiple Feed-
back (MFB) circuit arrangement, which reduces sensitivity to
passive component variations over frequency and tempera-
ture. For more information regarding MFB active filter design,
please refer to Burr-Brown Applications Bulletin AB-034.

FIGURE 9. Dual Supply Filter Circuit.
Since the overall system performance is defined by the
quality of the D/A converters and their associated analog
output circuitry, high quality audio op amps are recom-
mended for the active filters. Burr-Brown’s OPA2134 and
OPA2353 dual op amps are shown in Figures 7a and 9, and
are recommended for use with the PCM1739.
PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES
A typical PCB floor plan for the PCM1739 is shown in
Figure 10. A ground plane is recommended, with the analog
and digital sections being isolated from one another using a
split or cut in the circuit board. The PCM1739 should be
oriented with the digital I/O pins facing the ground plane
split/cut, allowing for direct connection of the digital audio
interface and control signals originating from the digital
section of the board.
Separate power supplies are recommended for the digital
and analog sections of the board. This prevents the switching
noise present on the digital supply from contaminating the
analog power supply and degrading the dynamic perfor-
mance of the PCM1739. In cases where a common +5V
supply must be used for the analog and digital sections, an

single-supply applications
THEORY OF OPERATION
The delta-sigma section of PCM1739 is based on a 8-level
amplitude quantizer and a 4th-order noise shaper. This
section converts the oversampled input data to 8-level delta-
sigma format.
A block diagram of the 8-level delta-sigma modulator is
shown in Figure 12. This 8-level delta-sigma modulator has
the advantage of stability and clock jitter sensitivity over the
typical one-bit (2-level) delta-sigma modulator.
The combined oversampling rate of the delta-sigma modu-
lator and the interpolation filter is 64fS for all system clock
combinations (128, 192, 256, 384, 512, 768fS).
The theoretical quantization noise performance of the
8-level delta-sigma modulator is shown in Figure 13. The
enhanced multi-level delta-sigma architecture also has ad-
vantages for input clock jitter sensitivity due to the multi-
level quantizer, with the simulated jitter sensitivity shown in
Figure 14.
KEY PERFORMANCE
PARAMETERS AND MEASUREMENT
This section provides information on how to measure key
dynamic performance parameters for the PCM1739. In all
cases, an Audio Precision System Two Cascade or equiva-
lent audio measurement system is utilized to perform the
testing.
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION + NOISE
Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise (THD+N) is a signifi-
cant figure of merit for audio D/A converters since it takes
into account both harmonic distortion and all noise sources
within a specified measurement bandwidth. The true rms
value of the distortion and noise is referred to as THD+N.
®
16
PCM1739
FIGURE 15. Test Setup for THD+N Measurement.
FIGURE 16. Test Set-Up for Dynamic Range and SNR Measurements.
For the PCM1739, THD+N is measured with a full scale,
1kHz digital sine wave as the test stimulus at the input of
the DAC. The digital generator is set to 24-bit audio word
length and a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz, 96kHz, or
192kHz. The digital generator output is taken from the
unbalanced S/PDIF connector of the measurement system.
The S/PDIF data is transmitted via a coaxial cable to the
digital audio receiver on the DEM-DAI1739 demo board.
The receiver is then configured to output 24-bit data in
either I2S or left-justified data format. The DAC audio
interface format is programmed to match the receiver
output format. The analog output is then taken from the
DAC post filter and connected to the analog analyzer input
of the measurment system. The analog input is band lim-
ited using filters resident in the analyzer. The resulting
THD+N is measured by the analyzer and displayed by the
measurement system.
DYNAMIC RANGE
Dynamic range is specified as A-Weighted, THD+N mea-
sured with a –60dBFS, 1kHz digital sine wave stimulus at
the input of the D/A converter. This measurement is de-
signed to give a good indicator of how the DAC will perform
given a low-level input signal.
The measurement setup for the dynamic range measurement
is shown in Figure 15, and is similar to the THD+N test
setup discussed previously. The differences include the
bandlimit filter selection, the additional A-Weighting filter,
and the –60dBFS input level.
IDLE CHANNEL SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO
The SNR test provides a measure of the noise floor of the
D/A converter. The input to the D/A is all 0’s data, and the
D/A converter’s Infinite Zero Detect Mute function must
be disabled (default condition at power up for the PCM1739).
This ensures that the delta-sigma modulator output is con-
nected to the output amplifier circuit so that idle tones (if
present) can be observed and effect the SNR measurement.
The dither function of the digital generator must also be
disabled to ensure an all ‘0’s data stream at the input of the
D/A converter.
The measurement setup for SNR is identical to that used for
dynamic range, with the exception of the input signal level.
