The ADAU1979 incorporates four high performance, analog-to-
digital converters (ADCs) with 4.5 V rms capable ac-coupled
inputs. The ADCs use a multibit sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) architecture
with continuous time front end for low EMI. An I2C/serial
peripheral interface (SPI) control port is included that allows a
microcontroller to adjust volume and many other parameters.
The ADAU1979 uses only a single 3.3 V supply. The device
internally generates the required digital DVDD supply. The low
power architecture reduces the power consumption. The on-
chip PLL can derive the master clock from an external clock
input or frame clock (sample rate clock). When fed with the
frame clock, it eliminates the need for a separate high frequency
master clock in the system. The ADAU1979 is available in a
40-lead LFCSP package.
Note that throughout this data sheet, multifunction pins, such
as SCL/CCLK, are referred to either by the entire pin name or
by a single function of the pin, for example, CCLK, when only
that function is relevant.
