S/pdif

[borges]

I need to learn more about S/PDIF and I2S. Where can I find presentations and intros online?

By the way, is it aii-squared-ess or aii-two-ess?

Greetings,

Thanks Guido. Didn't know you were an ornithologist, I could bet that's the scream of the Dutch Great Owl

Hello Børge,

Actually, I am not an ornithologist, but I tried something fonetically most close to squared......

cheers

Hi Guido,

There is one thing I wonder about when it comes to I2S. In a previous post of mine I was asking which clock is most critical to a BB PCM1704 and friends.
(Here's the thread.) The MCLK (256x44.1kHz) came out as the winner.

Do you know how much jitter can be tolerated on this 11.2896MHz clock before it gets audible? Well, in our line of work there is usually no such thing as a lower or upper bond to things. But still, would for instance 50ps RMS jitter be bad? What can you achieve with a carefully designed clock circuit?

I'm asking because I plan a new DAC board and can't quite make up my mind as to how I should arrange the MCLK.


Good night/weekend!

Hi

I still hear improvement going from 20 ps to 3ps on that PCM1704 BCLK

My TentLabs clocks have about 3 ps rms (10Hz-20kHz)

Currently I am working on a redesign of a CD player of a mid size high end company, using the 1704 and my clocks. The results are very promissing.

best regards

Glad to see other nightbirds out there. This sounds a lot like the undertaking I plan. I'll put a good clock next to some 1704s, buffer it and run the CD drive from there. But 3ps, that is impressive. How do you measure it? Can scopes capture that at all?

However, I'm also going to use a somewhat uncommon I2S source (more on that later) which I cannot sync from a clean clock. Do you know how close one can come to your clock specs with a PLL or perhaps even narrow-badwidth filters strapped to the CS8414?

Guido will probably suggest this:-

And this thread might help as well:-

"Strapping narrow-bandwidth filters" on a '841x won't get you anywhere near that close. You will still be 2 orders of magnitude off. If you use a secondary PLL, like one of you-know-who's, you will get essentially the same level of performance as a good clock.

No, you can't measure it on a 'scope. But trust, me.......something like a '1704 will not sound right unless the clock is very good.
