I'm looking for confirmation of my approach to interface adau1452 to 2 or more ad1838 codecs. I understand ther may be multiple ways to accomplish this, but I'm planning to configure the digital audio serial ports of the ADAU1452 in TDM8 mode and assign one serial data port group to each AD1938. I will use an external uC to control the AD1938s configuration so that sample rate can be changed.
ADC audio from the AD1938 is available in the first 4 timeslots of the 8-timeslot frame.

My specific questions are:

1. How to wire up LRCLK_INn, BCLKINn, LRCLK_OUTn, BCLK_OUTn?

2. If the input and output sample rates are always the same, can I save by routing BCLK_OUTn to AD1938 DAC and ADC BCLK, and LRCLK_OUTn to AD1938 DAC and ADC LRCLK?

3. Alternatively, I have read that daisy-chaining AD1938s is a possibility, but it's not clear to me how to assign timeslots to individual AD1938s.

Thanks in advance,

John

Hello John,

You have asked some very good questions that will take a bit for me to assemble a detailed answer. I will be back soon with more details. You will want to daisy chain the codecs to get full functionality. I have designed a board that does this exact thing with four AD1938 codecs and one ADAU1452.

Dave, I'm wondering if you have an update to this topic? I have been working on a design with one ADAU1452 and two AD1938's and I have all DACs working but not the ADCs, and could use some help.

Are you using the EVAL board with the onboard AD1938?
