[alsa-devel] [PATCH v2 6/7] ASoC: pcm512x: Avoid the PLL for the DAC clock, if possible

Peter Rosin peda at lysator.liu.se
Wed Jan 28 15:16:11 CET 2015


From: Peter Rosin <peda at axentia.se>

The PLL introduces jitter, which in turn introduces noice if used
to clock the DAC. Thus, avoid the PLL output, and use the PLL input
to drive the DAC clock, if possible.

This is described for the PCM5142/PCM5242 chips in the answers to the
forum post "PCM5142/PCM5242 DAC clock source" at the TI E2E community
pages (1).
