Analog Devices AD1839 Silicon Anomaly Sheet
This application note describes specific silicon anomalies found in the current version of the Analog Devices AD1839 audio codec. It identifies critical bugs related to ADC phase shifts during data transfers and register programming, as well as potential issues with DAC writes.
The document provides detailed workarounds for these issues, such as synchronizing reset signals with clock edges or writing values twice to ensure correct updates. It also notes that many of these bugs have been fixed in the AD1839A revision.

Questions answered in these manuals
Which AD1839 revision fixed the bugs described in this document?
The bugs have been fixed in the A version of this part (AD1839A).
What is the recommended workaround for the ADC Phase Shift Bug?
Synchronize the rising edge of PD/RST with the appropriate LRCLK or FSTDM edge to ensure safe result updates.
What is the ADC dynamic range without filtering?
The ADC dynamic range is 103 dB when measured from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with a -60 dB input and no filter.
