Product details
Overview
AD1839AASZ from Analog Devices is a high-performance 24-bit sigma-delta audio codec integrating two stereo ADCs and three stereo DACs (six total DAC channels) in a single 52-lead MQFP package. It supports up to 96 kHz sample rates on all converters, with one DAC channel capable of 192 kHz operation, and delivers 105 dB SNR (ADC) and 108 dB SNR (DAC) for professional-grade audio capture and playback in home theater receivers.
For engineers reviewing the AD1839AASZ datasheet, AD1839AASZ pinout, AD1839AASZ application, or AD1839AASZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 24-bit resolution, 52-pin MQFP thermal and layout compatibility, TDM 8-in/8-out interface capability, and dual-supply operation (5 V analog + 3.3 V tolerant digital I/O).
Technical Context
The AD1839AASZ implements multibit Σ-∆ modulation with patented differential linearity restoration in both ADC and DAC paths, enabling −95 dB THD+N (ADC) and −92 dB THD+N (DAC) at 48/96 kHz. Its decimation and interpolation filters provide 120 dB stop-band attenuation (ADC) and 55–80 dB (DAC), with group delays of 460 µs (96 kHz ADC) and 110–340 µs (DAC) depending on sample rate.
It features a flexible serial interface supporting I²S, left/right-justified, DSP, and TDM modes - including 256×/512×/768× fS master clock options - and uses an SPI-compatible control port for register configuration. The device includes on-chip 2.25 V reference (FILTR), dedicated filter capacitor pins (FILTD/FILTR), and independent volume control per DAC channel with 1024-step linear scaling.

AD1839AASZ is housed in a 52-lead MQFP (Metric Quad Flat Package) with 0.65 mm lead pitch, optimized for industrial temperature operation (−40°C to +85°C) and thermal dissipation in audio subsystems.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DVDD (Pins 1, 39) | Digital power supply | 5 V supply for digital core and control logic; requires local 100 nF bypass |
| AVDD (Pins 11, 19, 29) | Analog power supply | 5 V supply for ADC/DAC analog sections; must be filtered separately from DVDD |
| AGND (Pins 5, 10, 16, 24, 30, 34) | Analog ground reference | Star-ground connection point for analog signal paths and reference circuitry |
| DGND (Pins 40, 52) | Digital ground reference | Separate return path for digital I/O and clock domains to minimize noise coupling |
| MCLK (Pin 47) | Master clock input | Accepts 12.288 MHz (256×fS) or scaled clocks; jitter <300 ps rms required for optimal THD+N |
| DLRCLK / DBCLK (Pins 37, 38) | DAC frame and bit clock | Configurable as input or output; supports TDM, I²S, and packed data formats |
| ADCLP/ADCLN (Pins 21, 20) | Differential ADC left input | Full-scale ±2.828 V differential range; common-mode voltage fixed at 2.25 V |
| OUTL1/OUTR1 (Pins 7, 9) | DAC1 left/right single-ended outputs | 1.0 Vrms (2.8 Vp-p) full-scale swing referenced to 2.25 V DC bias |
| FILTD / FILTR (Pins 17, 18) | Filter capacitor connections | Require 10 µF + 100 nF parallel bypass to reduce DAC bias noise and stabilize internal reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Data-directed scrambling DACs | Reduces sensitivity to clock jitter, preserving audio integrity even with moderate-quality master clocks |
| On-chip 2.25 V reference (FILTR) | Provides stable common-mode bias for ADC inputs and DAC outputs; usable to bias external op amps |
| Clickless mute and volume control | Software-controllable per-channel muting and attenuation without audible transients during state changes |
| Digital de-emphasis processing | Compensates for pre-emphasis applied during CD mastering; ±0.1 dB gain error ensures accurate spectral restoration |
| Soft power-down mode | Reduces analog supply current to 55–67 mA while retaining register state for fast wake-up |
Applications
| Home Theater Receivers | DVD/Blu-ray Audio Processors |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar audio codec applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AK4396VT-F | Single 24-bit DAC (not ADC+DAC); 125 dB SNR; 192 kHz native; QFN-32 package | No integrated ADC; lacks TDM and auxiliary interfaces; optimized for playback-only DAC stages | Select when system already includes separate ADC or requires ultra-low-noise DAC-only solution |
| CS4382-KQZ | 8-channel 24-bit DAC (no ADC); 114 dB SNR; 192 kHz; 48-pin TQFP; no on-chip reference | Playback-only; requires external reference and filtering; higher channel count but no capture capability | Choose for multi-DAC channel expansion where ADC functionality is handled elsewhere |
Compared with AK4396VT-F and CS4382-KQZ, AD1839AASZ uniquely integrates both high-SNR ADC and DAC functions with TDM flexibility and on-chip reference - making it suitable for compact, self-contained audio subsystems requiring bidirectional conversion without external support components.

FAQ
What is the maximum sample rate supported by AD1839AASZ on its ADC channels?
AD1839AASZ supports up to 96 kHz on both stereo ADC channels. This is achieved using a 12.288 MHz MCLK (256 × fS) with the decimator configured for IMCLK/256. The ADC does not support 192 kHz operation - that capability is exclusive to DAC1, as confirmed in the functional overview and Table 7 of the datasheet.
Does AD1839AASZ include an internal voltage reference, and how is it used?
Yes, AD1839AASZ includes an on-chip 2.25 V reference brought out on the FILTR pin. It serves as the common-mode voltage for all analog inputs and outputs and can bias external op amps. The pin requires a 10 µF + 100 nF bypass capacitor and supports ≤50 µA load current - critical for maintaining ADC/DAC accuracy and noise performance.
Can AD1839AASZ operate with a 3.3 V digital interface while using 5 V analog supplies?
Yes, AD1839AASZ supports mixed-supply operation: AVDD and DVDD are 5 V, while ODVDD (digital I/O driver supply) accepts 3.0–5.0 V. This allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V DSPs or microcontrollers without level shifters, as verified in the "5 V stereo audio system with 3.3 V tolerant digital interface" feature list and Power Supply section.
How many independent DAC channels does AD1839AASZ provide, and what output configuration do they use?
AD1839AASZ provides six independent DAC channels arranged as three stereo pairs (DAC1–DAC3), each with single-ended outputs (e.g., OUTL1/OUTR1). All six outputs are active simultaneously, with per-channel volume control and clickless mute - confirmed in the General Description, Pin Function Descriptions, and DACs functional overview.
What serial interface modes does AD1839AASZ support for connecting to a SHARC® processor?
AD1839AASZ supports TDM interface mode enabling 8-in/8-out operation using a single SHARC® SPORT, as explicitly stated in the FEATURES list and Functional Overview. It also supports I²S, left-justified, right-justified, and DSP serial modes - all configurable via control registers without hardware changes.
