Interfacing to DSPs

A.2 Interfacing to DSPs

Refer to the following examples for interfacing the PCM3793A to a digital signal processor (DSP) in either slave or master mode. To implement master mode, MSTR = 1 of register 84 (54h) enables master mode operation as discussed in the product data sheet. Insert 5440h to the recommended power-on sequence after DAC power-up (49h) of PCM3793A, as noted in Table A-2.
