Analog Devices AD1955 High‑Performance Multibit DAC Datasheet
The AD1955 from Analog Devices is a single‑chip, stereo digital audio playback system that includes a multibit sigma‑delta modulator, digital interpolation filters, and continuous‑time differential current output DACs. It supports 16‑ to 24‑bit data, sample rates from 32 kHz up to 192 kHz, and SACD bit‑stream playback, making it suitable for high‑end DVD‑Audio, home‑theater, automotive, and professional audio applications.
The datasheet provides comprehensive electrical specifications, pin‑out details, timing diagrams, and package information. Key performance figures include a 123 dB mono signal‑to‑noise ratio, –110 dB THD+N, and a differential output range of 8.64 mA p‑p, all powered from a 5 V supply. The device is supplied in a 28‑lead SSOP package and includes on‑chip click‑less volume control and mute functions.
