Cirrus Logic CS8427 Digital Audio Interface Transceiver User Manual

The CS8427 is a stereo digital audio transceiver with AES3 and serial digital audio inputs, AES3 and serial digital audio outputs, and includes comprehensive control ability through a 4-wire microcontroller port. Channel status and user data are assembled in block-sized buffers, making read/modify/write cycles easy. A low-jitter clock recovery mechanism yields a very clean recovered clock from the incoming AES3 stream. Target applications include A/V receivers, CD-R, DVD receivers, multimedia speakers, digital mixing consoles, effects processors, set-top boxes, and computer and automotive audio systems.

Frequently asked questions

What is the supply voltage range for VA+?

VA+ must be between 4.5 V (minimum) and 5.5 V (maximum), with a typical value of 5.0 V.

What ambient temperature can the CS8427 operate in?

The device operates from –10 °C up to +70 °C for the CS/CSZ/CZ versions (‑40 °C to +85 °C for the DS/DZ versions).

How is power‑down mode defined for the CS8427?

Power‑down mode is entered by setting RST low while keeping all clocks and data lines static.

What is the typical supply current at a 96 kHz frame rate?

The typical supply current is 6.6 mA when VA+ is powered at 5 V.
