Overview

The ADAU1701 is a complete single-chip audio system with a 28-bit sigma-delta DSP, ADCs, DACs, and microcontroller-like control interfaces. It features a 50MHz clock rate and 12kB of on-chip RAM, allowing for complex audio processing tasks like equalization, crossover, and dynamics processing without an external microcontroller.

Why Choose This Part

The primary advantage is the SigmaStudio graphical development tool, which allows engineers to design audio signal flows without writing code. Its integration of high-quality converters and a programmable DSP in a single 3.3V I/O package reduces BOM cost and PCB complexity for audio-centric designs.

Applications

Active Crossover Systems
Implementing multi-way speaker crossovers with precise phase and frequency alignment using the integrated SigmaDSP core.
Room Equalization
Developing automatic or manual room correction filters to improve acoustic performance in home theater or automotive environments.
Noise Cancellation
Utilizing the low-latency DSP architecture for active noise reduction and background noise suppression in voice communication.
Guitar Effects Pedals
Creating digital audio effects such as delay, reverb, and distortion in a compact 48-LQFP package footprint.

Getting Started

Development is performed using the SigmaStudio software, where users drag and drop functional blocks to create signal chains. Hardware prototyping is typically done via the EVAL-ADAU1701MINIZ evaluation board and a USBi (EVAL-ADUSB2EBZ) interface for real-time tuning and programming via I2C or SPI.
