 6.2.2 Supported DAO Functional Blocks
As mentioned in Section 6.1, DAO_DATA3 on CS48560 is unique in that it is designed to serve as either an 
output for I
2
S or left-justified PCM data or as a S/PDIF transmitter (XMTA). On the CS48540 and CS48520 it 
is only a s S/PDIF transmitter (XMTA). When configured as a S/PDIF transmitter, it encodes digital audio 
data according to the Sony/Phillips Digital Interface Format (S/PDIF), also known as IEC60958, or the AES/
EBU interface format.
 6.2.3 DAO Interface Formats
The DAO interface has up to 6 stereo data outputs that are fully configurable including support for I
2
S, left-
justified, and multichannel (one-line data mode) formats. This section describes some common audio 
formats that the CS485xx DAO interface supports. It should be noted that the digital output ports provide up 
to 32-bit PCM resolution. 
 6.2.3.1 I
2
S Format
In this format, data is presented most-significant bit (MSB) first, one DAO_SCLK delay after the transition of 
DAO_LRCLK, and is valid on the rising edge of DAO_SCLK. The left subframe is presented when 
DAO_LRCLK is low, and the right subframe is presented when DAO_LRCLK is high. Figure 6-4 provides 
details on I
2
S compatible (maximum of 32 bits) serial audio formats.

 6.2.3.2 Left-Justified Format
Figure 6-5 illustrates the left-justified (LJ) format with a rising edge DAO_SCLK. Data is presented most-
significant bit first on the first DAO_SCLK after a DAO_LRCLK transition and is valid on the rising edge of 
DAO_SCLK. The left subframe is presented when DAO_LRCLK is high and the right subframe is presented 
when DAO_LRCLK is low. This format can also be programmed for data to be valid on the falling edge of 
DAO_SCLK.
