AD1837A
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD1837A is a high performance single-chip codec featuring
four stereo DACs and one stereo ADC. Each DAC comprises a
high performance digital interpolation filter, a multibit -
modulator featuring Analog Devices’ patented technology, and a
continuous-time voltage out analog section. Each DAC has inde-
pendent volume control and clickless mute functions. The ADC
comprises two 24-bit conversion channels with multibit
S
-
D
modulators and decimation filters.
The AD1837A also contains an on-chip reference with a nominal
value of 2.25 V.
The AD1837A contains a flexible serial interface that allows for
glueless connection to a variety of DSP chips, AES/EBU receivers,
and sample rate converters. The AD1837A can be configured in
left-justified, right-justified, I
2
S, or DSP compatible serial modes.
Control of the AD1837A is achieved by means of an SPI compat-
ible serial port. While the AD1837A can be operated from a single
5 V supply, it also features a separate supply pin for its digital inter-
face, which allows the device to be interfaced to other devices using
3.3 V power supplies.
The AD1837A is available in a 52-lead MQFP package and is speci-
fied for the industrial temperature range of –40oC to +85oC.
