DESCRIPTION

The SRC4184 is a four-channel, asynchronous sample

rate converter (ASRC), designed for professional and

broadcast audio applications. The SRC4184 combines a

wide input-to-output sampling ratio with outstanding

dynamic range and ultra low distortion. The input and

output serial ports support the most common audio data

formats, as well as a time division multiplexed (TDM)

format. This allows the SRC4184 to interface to a wide

range of audio data converters, digital audio receivers and

transmitters, and digital signal processors.

The SRC4184 may be operated in Hardware mode as a

standalone pin-programmed device, with dedicated

control pins for serial port mode, audio data format, soft

mute, bypass, and digital filtering functions. Alternatively,

the SRC4184 may be operated in Software mode, where

a four-wire serial peripheral interface (SPI) port provides

access to internal control and status registers.

The SRC4184 operates from either a +1.8V core supply or

a +3.3V core supply. When operating from +3.3V, the

+1.8V required by the core logic is derived from an internal

voltage regulator. The SRC4184 also requires a digital I/O

supply, which operates from +1.65V to +3.6V. The

SRC4184 is available in a TQFP-64 package.
