PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The AD1855 is a high performance, single-chip stereo, audio
DAC delivering 113 dB Dynamic Range and SNR (A-weighted—
not muted) at 48 kHz sample rate. It is comprised of a multibit
sigma-delta modulator with dither, continuous time analog
filters and analog output drive circuitry. Other features include
an on-chip stereo attenuator and mute, programmed through an
SPI-compatible serial control port. The AD1855 is fully com-
patible with current DVD formats, including 96 kHz sample
frequency and 24 bits. It is also backwards compatible by sup-
porting 50
μ
s/15
μ
s digital de-emphasis intended for “redbook”
44.1 kHz sample frequency playback from compact discs.
The AD1855 has a very simple but very flexible serial data input
port that allows for glueless interconnection to a variety of ADCs,
DSP chips, AES/EBU receivers and sample rate converters.
The AD1855 can be configured in left-justified, I
2
S, right-
justified, or DSP serial port compatible modes. The AD1855
accepts 16-/18-/20-/24-bit serial audio data in MSB first, twos-
complement format. A power-down mode is offered to mini-
mize power consumption when the device is inactive. The
AD1855 operates from a single +5 V power supply. It is fabri-
cated on a single monolithic integrated circuit and housed in a
28-lead SSOP package for operation over the temperature range
