SYSTEM CLOCK AND RESET FUNCTIONS

System Clock Input

The PCM1798 requires a system clock for operating the digital interpolation filters and advanced segment DAC

modulators. The system clock is applied at the SCK input (pin 7). The PCM1798 has a system clock detection circuit

that automatically senses the frequency at which the system clock is operating. Table 1 shows examples of system

clock frequencies for common audio sampling rates.

Figure 18 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. One of the Texas Instruments PLL1700 family of multiclock generators

is an excellent choice for providing the PCM1798 system clock.
