Asynchronous Sample Rate Converter
Decimation Rate
The RAM in the FIFO is 512 words deep for both left and right channels. 
An offset to the write address provided by the f
S
_IN counter is added to 
prevent the RAM read pointer from ever overlapping the write address. 
The offset is fixed by the group delay signal. A small offset, 16, is added to 
the write address pointer.
Increasing the offset of the write address pointer is useful for applications 
when small changes in the sample rate ratio between f
S
_IN and f
S
_OUT 
are expected. The maximum decimation rate can be calculated from the 
RAM word depth and GRPDLYS as (512 – 16)/64 taps = 7.75:1.
Muting Modes
The mute feature of the SRC can be controlled automatically in hardware 
using the MUTE_IN signal by connecting it to the MUTE_OUT signal. Auto-
matic muting can be disabled by setting (=1) the SRCx_MUTE_EN bits in the 
SRCMUTE register.
Note that by default, the SRCMUTE register connects the MUTE_IN sig-
nal to the 
MUTE_OUT signal, but not vice versa.
Soft Mute
When the SRCx_SOFTMUTE bit in the SRCCTL register is set, the MUTE_IN sig-
nal is asserted, and the SRC performs a soft mute by linearly decreasing 
the input data to the SRC FIFO to zero, (–144 dB) attenuation as 
described for automatic hardware muting.
