Product details
Overview
AD1887JST from Analog Devices is a 16-bit stereo full-duplex AC'97 2.2-compliant audio codec IC with integrated headphone amplifier, programmable microphone preamp, and split 3.3 V digital / 5 V analog power supplies. It supports variable sample rates from 7040 Hz to 48 kHz (1 Hz resolution), delivers >90 dB dynamic range, and features software-enabled VREFOUT for mic bias. It serves as the primary audio interface in PC motherboard audio subsystems and legacy embedded multimedia platforms.
For engineers reviewing the AD1887JST datasheet, AD1887JST pinout, AD1887JST application, or AD1887JST equivalent, key selection considerations include AC'97 link timing compliance, dual-supply rail tolerance, 48-TQFP package footprint, and register-level control of mixer gain, headphone volume (–88.5 dB attenuation), and low-power mode sequencing.
Technical Context
The AD1887JST implements a multibit ΔΣ converter architecture for both ADC and DAC paths, achieving >90 dB SNR and >84 dB A-weighted dynamic range. Its AC'97 2.2-compliant serial interface uses BIT_CLK (12.288 MHz), SYNC (48 kHz), SDATA_IN, and SDATA_OUT for frame-synchronized bidirectional data transfer with host controller.
It integrates independent analog signal chains: two stereo line-level inputs (LINE_IN, CD), one mono MIC input with 0–22.5 dB programmable gain, and stereo headphone outputs with 6-bit volume control (±1.5 dB steps). Power-down states are controlled via indexed register 26h (PR0–PR5 bits), enabling granular current reduction down to 60 µA in standby.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar audio codec applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD1885JST | AC'97 2.1 compliant; lacks VREFOUT and mobile low-power mixer mode; identical 48-TQFP package and pinout | Targeted at cost-optimized desktop motherboards without mic bias or battery-powered operation | Select AD1885JST only if VREFOUT and LPMIX functionality are unused; register map differs in power-down control and ID registers |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the AD1887JST?
The AD1887JST is specified for commercial-grade operation from 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature, as confirmed by the Ordering Guide section of the official datasheet. This range aligns with standard desktop PC and industrial control cabinet environments. The device's thermal resistance (θJA = 76.2°C/W) ensures reliable performance under typical 253 mW power dissipation at full operation. AD1887JST does not support extended or industrial temperature grades.
Does the AD1887JST support AC'97 2.2-compliant sample rate flexibility?
Yes, the AD1887JST fully supports AC'97 2.2 variable sample rates from 7040 Hz to 48 kHz in 1 Hz increments, as stated in the "ENHANCED FEATURES" section and verified in register 32h (PCM ADC Rate) and 2Ch (PCM DAC Rate) programming. This enables dynamic rate switching for voice (8 kHz), telephony (11.025 kHz), and CD-quality (44.1/48 kHz) streams without hardware reconfiguration. AD1887JST maintains timing compliance across the entire range.
How is microphone bias implemented on the AD1887JST?
The AD1887JST provides a dedicated VREFOUT pin (Pin 28) delivering 2.25 V ±0.2 V at up to 5 mA, explicitly intended for electret microphone bias. This eliminates external bias resistors or regulators. The MIC_IN pin (Pin 21) accepts signals from 0.1 VRMS (20 dB PGA gain) to 1 VRMS (0 dB gain), with programmable 0–22.5 dB PGA gain in 1.5 dB steps. AD1887JST's VREFOUT is enabled via register configuration and remains stable under load.
What power-down modes are available on the AD1887JST and how are they controlled?
The AD1887JST offers eight hardware-controllable power-down states via bits PR0–PR5 in register 26h (Power-Down Ctrl/Stat), including independent ADC-only, DAC-only, ADC+DAC, and ADC+DAC+Mixer modes. Current draw drops from 253 mW (active) to as low as 60 µA (standby). These modes are asserted by writing to register 26h; no external hardware control lines are required. AD1887JST's low-power mixer mode (LPMIX) retains CD path functionality while reducing analog supply current to 18.1 mA.
Is the AD1887JST pin-compatible with other AD188x-series codecs?
The AD1887JST shares identical 48-TQFP (ST-48) packaging and pinout with AD1885JST, as confirmed by matching Pin Configuration diagrams and PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS tables across both datasheets. However, functional differences exist: AD1887JST adds VREFOUT and LPMIX support, and its register map differs in reset behavior (Index 00h ID decoding) and power-down bit definitions. AD1887JST is not pin-compatible with AD1886 or AD1888 due to differing pin counts and assignments.
