The AD1938 is a high performance, single-chip codec that
provides four analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with
differential input and eight digital-to-analog converters
(DACs) with single-ended output using the Analog Devices,
Inc. patented multibit sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) architecture. An SPI
port is included, allowing a microcontroller to adjust volume
and many other parameters. The AD1938 operates from 3.3 V
digital and analog supplies. The AD1938 is available in a
48-lead (single-ended output) LQFP package. Other members
of this family include a differential DAC output and I2C® control
port version.
The AD1938 is designed for low EMI. This consideration is
apparent in both the system and circuit design architectures.
By using the on-board PLL to derive the master clock from the
LR clock or from an external crystal, the AD1938 eliminates the
need for a separate high frequency master clock and can also be
used with a suppressed bit clock. The digital-to-analog and
analog-to-digital converters are designed using the latest ADI
continuous time architectures to further minimize EMI. By
using 3.3 V supplies, power consumption is minimized, further
reducing emissions.
