Analog Devices AN-399 Interfacing AD1890/AD1891 to AES Receivers
This document addresses sample rate interfacing and compatibility issues between the AD1890/AD1891 Asynchronous Sample Rate Converter (ASRC) and digital audio components using the AES/EBU (AES3-199X) and IEC-958 standards. It specifically examines the challenges of connecting components that use different data justification formats (right-justified vs. left-justified).

Questions answered in these manuals
What is the standard for interfacing digital audio components in the digital domain?
The AES/EBU AES3-199X and the IEC-958 have become the standard for interfacing digital audio components in the digital domain.

How can data justification be changed from right-justified to left-justified?
Data justification can be changed by delaying the L/R clock outputted by the receiver chip by the word clock, effectively changing the data to left justification.
