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 independent 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
Control of the AD1837A is achieved by means of an SPI compatible serial port. While the AD1837A can be operated from a single
5 V supply, it also features a separate supply pin for its digital interface, 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 specified for the industrial temperature range of –40ºC to +85ºC.

*Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause perma-
nent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those listed in the operational
sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although
the AD1837A features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on
devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are
recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
