Clock Generator
The audio interface clock is generated by division of the PLL clock. The division factor is 
given by AUCD4:0 bits in CLKAUD register. Figure 14 shows the audio interface clock 
generator and its calculation formula. The audio interface clock frequency depends on 
the incoming MP3 frames and the audio DAC used.
Figure 14.  Audio Clock Generator and Symbol
As soon as audio interface is enabled by setting AUDEN bit in AUDCON1 register, the 
master clock generated by the PLL is output on the SCLK pin which is the DAC system 
clock. This clock is output at 256 or 384 times the sampling frequency depending on the 
DAC capabilities. HLR bit in AUDCON0 register must be set according to this rate for 
properly generating the audio bit clock on the DCLK pin and the word selection clock on 
the DSEL pin. These clocks are not generated when no data is available at the data 
converter input.
For DAC compatibility, the bit clock frequency is programmable for outputting 16 bits or 
32 bits per channel using the DSIZ bit in AUDCON0 register (see Section "Data Con-
verter", page 17), and the word selection signal is programmable for outputting left 
channel on low or high level according to POL bit in AUDCON0 register as shown in 
Figure 15.

Data Converter
The data converter block converts the audio stream input from the 16-bit parallel format 
to a serial format. For accepting all PCM formats and I

S format, JUST4:0 bits in 
AUDCON0 register are used to shift the data output point. As shown in Figure 16, these 
bits allow MSB justification by setting JUST4:0 = 00000, LSB justification by setting 
JUST4:0 = 10000, I

S Justification by setting JUST4:0 = 00001, and more than 16-bit 
LSB justification by filling the low significant bits with logic 0.
