Overview

The PCM1681PWPR is an 8-channel, 24-bit audio digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designed for high-performance multi-channel audio systems. It supports sampling rates up to 192kHz and features a flexible data interface compatible with I2S, Left-Justified, Right-Justified, and DSP formats. The device operates on a dual-supply architecture with 5V analog and 3V to 3.6V digital rails, providing high-quality audio output for surround sound and automotive infotainment applications.

Why Choose This Part

The PCM1681PWPR offers high integration with 8 channels in a single 28-HTSSOP package, reducing PCB footprint in multi-channel designs. It features an integrated power-on reset and 5V tolerant digital I/O for easier system integration with various microcontrollers. Additionally, the device includes an automatic system clock detection circuit that simplifies software configuration during sampling rate changes.

Applications

AV Receivers
Multi-channel surround sound processing for home theater systems requiring high dynamic range across 8 channels.

Getting Started

To evaluate the PCM1681PWPR, engineers typically use an I2S source from a DSP or MCU like an STM32 or TI Tiva C series. Ensure the thermal pad of the HTSSOP package is properly soldered to a ground plane for heat dissipation and stable analog performance. Design the output stage with a low-pass filter to remove out-of-band noise, following the recommended active filter topologies in the datasheet.
