Place PLL current reference resistor as close as possible to the DSP. A unified, solid ground plane is 
recommended for optimal performance. Pay close attention to the direction of all clock signals shown in the 
diagram. These designs are configured to slave to clocks on the input side. On the output side, the DSP 
slaves to MCLK from the S/PDIF receiver and masters SCLK and LRCLK for the DACs. This is the 
recommended clocking for AVR applications.
Series Termination resistor values depend on the transmission line impedances of the actual PCB used. The 
design engineer should calculate the transmission line impedance of the traces and size the series R such 
that R = (Z – 20), where 20 represents the source impedance of the CS485xx drivers.
The typical connection diagrams show “0.1uF x 3” to indicate that 1 decoupling capacitor should be placed 
next to each power pin.
