The TAS5825M devices have flexible systems for clocking. Internally, the device requires a number of clocks, mostly at related clock rates to function correctly. All of these clocks can be derived from the Serial Audio Interface.

Figure 9-1 Audio Flow with Respective Clocks

Figure 9-1 shows the basic data flow and clock Distribution.

The Serial Audio Interface typically has 3 connection pins which are listed as follows:

• SCLK (Bit Clock)
• LRCLK/FS (Left/Right Word Clock or Frame Sync)
• SDIN (Input Data)

The device has an internal PLL that is used to take SCLK and create the higher rate clocks required by the DSP and the DAC clock.

The TAS5825M device has an audio sampling rate detection circuit that automatically senses which frequency the sampling rate is operating. Common audio sampling frequencies of 32 kHz, 44.1kHz – 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz – 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz – 192 kHz are supported. The sampling frequency detector sets the clock for DAC and DSP automatically.

If the input LRCLK/SCLK stopped during music playing, the TAS5825M DSP switches to sleep state and waiting for the clock recovery (Class D output switches to Hiz automatically ), once LRCLK/SCLK recovered, TAS5825M auto recovers to the play mode. There is no need to reload the DSP code.
