GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The UDA1331H is a stereo CMOS digital-to-analog
bitstream converter designed for USB-compliant audio
playback devices and multimedia audio applications.
The UDA1331H is an adaptive asynchronous sink USB
audio device with a continuous sampling frequency (fs)
range from 5 to 55 kHz. It contains a USB interface, an
embedded microcontroller and an Asynchronous
Digital-to-Analog Converter (ADAC).
The USB interface is the interface between the USB, the
ADAC and the microcontroller. The USB interface consists
of an analog front-end and a USB processor. The analog
front-end transforms the differential USB data to a digital
data stream. The USB processor buffers the input and
output data from the analog front-end and handles all
low-level USB protocols. The USB processor selects the
relevant data from the universal serial bus, performs an
extensive error detection and separates control
information (input and output) and audio information (input
only).
