General Description
The AL1101 stereo ADC is a high
performance 24-bit analog to digital audio
converter. Dynamic range is 107dB (Aweighted). The sensible pinout and easy
user interface are unprecedented. The
part has an internal high quality phaselocked loop that eliminates the need for
external high frequency clocks.
