Product details
Overview
6PAIC23BIPWRG4Q1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-qualified stereo audio codec with integrated headphone amplifier, 90-dB SNR ADC and 100-dB SNR DAC, supporting 8–96 kHz sampling rates and delivering 30 mW per channel into 32 Ω. It integrates electret-mic biasing, analog bypass path, and programmable gain amplifiers for voice capture and playback in infotainment head units.
For engineers reviewing the 6PAIC23BIPWRG4Q1 datasheet, 6PAIC23BIPWRG4Q1 pinout, 6PAIC23BIPWRG4Q1 application, or 6PAIC23BIPWRG4Q1 equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q100 qualification, I²S/McBSP interface compatibility, 28-pin TSSOP package, low-power operation (23 mW playback), and integrated mic bias + headphone drive - critical for space-constrained automotive audio designs.
Technical Context
The 6PAIC23BIPWRG4Q1 implements third-order multibit sigma-delta ADC architecture achieving up to 90-dBA SNR at 96 kHz, and second-order multibit sigma-delta DAC architecture achieving up to 100-dBA SNR. It supports 16/20/24/32-bit word lengths and master/slave timing modes with industry-standard (256/384 fs) and TI-optimized (250/272 fs) oversampling rates.
Its analog subsystem includes stereo-line inputs with 1.5-dB-step programmable gain (–34.5 dB to +12 dB), microphone input with 0 dB/20 dB boost, 3/4 AVDD low-noise MICBIAS output, and analog bypass path enabling direct line-in-to-headphone routing without digital conversion - all under full software control via SPI or 2-wire interface.
