VALUE-LINE TWO-CHANNEL AC’97 CODECS
STAC9750/9751
OVERVIEW
DESCRIPTION
Value-Line Stereo AC'97 CODECs with headphone drive
and SPDIF outputs.
IDT's STAC9750/9751 are general purpose, full duplex,
audio CODECs conforming to the analog component spec-
ification of AC'97 (Audio CODEC 97 Component Specifica-
tion Rev. 2.2). They have 18-bit ADCs and 20-bit DACs.
The STAC9750/9751 incorporate IDT's proprietary Σ∆ tech-
nology to achieve a DAC SNR in excess of 89dB.

Full Duplex Stereo 18-bit ADCs and 20-bit DACs
AC’97 Rev 2.2 Compliant
The DACs, ADCs and mixer are integrated with analog I/
Os, which include four analog line-level stereo inputs, two
analog line-level mono inputs, two stereo outputs, and one
mono output channel.
High Performance Σ∆ Technology
SPDIF Output
Crystal Elimination Circuit
Headphone amplifier
The STAC9750/9751 include digital input/output capability
for support of modern PC systems and also an output that
supports the SPDIF format.
Independent Sample Rates for ADCs & DACs
(hardware SRCs)
The STAC9750/9751 is a standard 2-channel stereo
CODEC. With IDT’s headphone drive capability, head-
phones can be driven with no external amplifier.

5-Wire AC-Link Protocol Compliance
Digital-Ready Architecture
The STAC9750/9751 may be used as a secondary
CODEC, with the STAC9700/21/44/56/08/84/66 as the pri-
mary, in a multiple CODEC configuration conforming to the
AC'97 Rev. 2.2 specification. This configuration can provide
the true six-channel, AC-3 playback required for DVD appli-
cations.
General Purpose I/O
+3.3 V (STAC9751) and +5 V (STAC9750) Analog

Pin Compatible With STAC9700/21/56/66
IDT Surround (SS3D) Stereo Enhancement
Energy Saving Dynamic Power Modes
The STAC9750/9751 communicates via the five-wire
AC-Link to any digital component of AC'97, providing flexi-
bility in the audio system design.
The STAC9750/9751 supports General Purpose Input/Out-
put (GPIO), as well as SPDIF output. These digital I/O
options provide for a number of advanced architectural
implementations, with volume controls and digital mixing
capabilities built directly into the CODEC.
