DSP LATE MODE

In DSP late mode, the first bit is sampled on the BCKIN edge which detects a low to high transition

on LRCIN.

Figure 8 DSP Late Mode Timing Diagram

In both early and late DSP modes, DAC0 left is always sent first, followed immediately by data words

for the other 5 channels. No BCKIN edges are allowed between the data words. The word order is

DAC0 left, DAC0 right, DAC1 left, DAC1 right, DAC2 left, DAC2 right.

SPLIT RATE MODE

The WM8746 can be used with differing sample rates on the front and rear channels. This allows

extremely high quality audio to be played on the front two channels whilst the other channels use

normal high quality data streams.

This mode will only work with a front data rate of 192kHz and a rear rate of 96kHz but can be used

with all the normal data formats except the two DSP modes and with the system at either 128fs or

192fs see Table 4.

When running in split rate mode all the channels are clocked in using a common BCKIN; the front

channels using LRCIN and all the other channels using LRCIN2 see Figure 9.

Notes:

1. Figure 9 shows the timing for left justified however this is similar for right justified and I

2. The edges of LRCIN and LRCIN2 must be coincidental.
