GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD1838A is a high performance single-chip codec featuring
three 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 - modulators and decimation filters.
The AD1838A also contains an on-chip reference with a nominal value of 2.25 V.
The AD1838A contains a flexible serial interface that allows
glueless connection to a variety of DSP chips, AES/EBU
receivers, and sample rate converters. The AD1838A can be
configured in left-justified, right-justified, I
patible serial modes. Control of the AD1838A is achieved by
means of an SPI
®
compatible serial port. While the AD1838A
can be operated from a single 5 V supply, it also features a separate supply pin for its digital interface that allows the device to
be interfaced to other devices using 3.3 V power supplies.
The AD1838A is available in a 52-lead MQFP package and is
specified for the industrial temperature range of –40ºC to +85ºC.

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 AD1838A
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.
