MCLK Select
The AD1833A allows the matching of available external MCLK
frequencies to the required internal MCLK rate. The MCLK
modification factor can be selected from 2, 1, or
2
/
3
by writing to
Bit 4 and Bit 3 of Control Register 3. Internally, the AD1833A
requires an MCLK of 24.576 MHz for sample rates of 48 kHz,
96 kHz, and 192 kHz. In the case of 48 kHz data with an
MCLK of 256 f
S
, a clock doubler is used, whereas with an
MCLK of 768 f
S
, a divide-by-3 block ( 3) is first implemented
followed by a clock doubler. With an MCLK of 512 f
S
, the
MCLK is passed through unmodified (see Table XII).

Channel Zero Status
The AD1833A provides individual logic output status indicators
when zero data is sent to a channel for 1024 or more consecutive
sample periods in all modes except right-justified. There is also

Must be programmed to zero.
a global zero flag that indicates all channels contain zero data.
The polarity of the zero signal is programmable by writing to
Control Bit 2 (see Table XIII). In right-justified mode, the six
individual channel flags are best used as three stereo zero flags
by combining pairs of them through suitable logic gates. Then,
when both the left and right inputs are zero for 1024 clock cycles,
i.e., a stereo zero input for 1024 sample periods, the combined
result of the two individual flags will become active, indicat-
ing a stereo zero.

DAC Volume Control Registers
The AD1833A has six volume control registers, one for each of
the six DAC channels. Volume control is exercised by writing to
the relevant register associated with each DAC. This setting is
used to attenuate the DAC output. Full-scale setting (all 1s) is
equivalent to zero attenuation (see Table XV).
