NRND796 in stock

Overview

The PCM5102APWR is a high-performance 24-bit/32-bit stereo audio DAC capable of sampling rates up to 384kHz. It features an integrated charge pump that generates a negative supply rail, allowing for a ground-centered 2.1-VRMS line-level output without the need for bulky DC-blocking capacitors.

Why Choose This Part

The device simplifies system design by using an internal PLL to generate the system clock (SCK) from the bit clock (BCK), eliminating the need for a dedicated master clock. Its integrated ground-centered output stage reduces BOM cost and PCB footprint by removing the requirement for large output coupling capacitors.

Applications

High-Resolution Audio Players
Ideal for portable DACs and media players requiring 32-bit resolution and 384kHz sampling rates.
Smart Speakers
Used in connected home audio systems to provide high-fidelity analog output from digital processors.
A/V Receivers
Integrates into multi-channel home theater systems for clean stereo line-level distribution.
Musical Instruments
Provides low-latency, high-quality audio conversion for digital pianos and synthesizers.

Getting Started

To begin development, interface the PCM5102APWR via I2S or Left-Justified PCM data formats using a standard microcontroller or DSP. Configure the device using the hardware pins for filter selection and de-emphasis, and ensure the 3.3V analog and 1.8V or 3.3V digital supplies are properly decoupled for optimal SNR performance.
