Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PCM9211,
Hello E2E Experts,
Good day.
The programming appears straightforward, but there's little documentation for external component usage. The datasheet says it's AES/EBU, AES3 compatible, but there's nothing clear about connections. AES3 can go up to 7V. I can use a couple of diodes across the transformer (and ground one side), use a level shifter, or find a custom transformer to bring it down to 5V-6.5V MAX., but there's no port connection information other than for S/PDIF. AES3 & S/PDIF are similar enough that they are almost interchangeable, but conversion could cause problems. Can an oscillator be used instead of a crystal on XTI? there'd be higher stability/accuracy and less noise & which saves space. There are other issues as well. Is there an evaluation board schematic, application notes, or errata? I'm just starting with the part and I don't know if I should continue.
