GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD1938 is a high performance, single-chip codec that pro-
vides four analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with 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 diffe-
rential DAC output and I
2
C® 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 elimi-
nates the need for a separate high frequency master clock and
can also be used with a suppressed bit clock. The DACs and
ADCs are designed using the latest Analog Devices continuous
time architectures to further minimize EMI. By using 3.3 V
supplies, power consumption is minimized, further reducing
emissions.
