ANALOG DEVICES Engineer To Engineer Note EE-59 Codec Soundbytes Manual
This Engineer's Note covers the crystal requirements for clocking Analog Devices AC97 codecs, including the AD1819 and AD1881 models. It specifies that a 24.576MHz quartz crystal is required for AC97 1.03 compliance, with a frequency tolerance of less than +100 PPM. The document advises against using ceramic crystals or LC resonators due to their higher frequency tolerances, which can degrade audio performance.

Can ceramic crystals be used for AC97 codecs?
Ceramic crystals are not recommended as they have frequency tolerances greater than +5000 PPM, which may result in audio performance less than AC97.
