Product details
Overview
AD1887JSTZ from Analog Devices is a 16-bit stereo full-duplex AC'97 2.2-compliant audio codec IC with integrated stereo 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 6-bit headphone volume control (–94.5 dB span) for PC audio subsystems and legacy desktop motherboard designs.
For engineers reviewing the AD1887JSTZ datasheet, AD1887JSTZ pinout, AD1887JSTZ application, or AD1887JSTZ equivalent, key selection criteria include AC'97 2.2 interface compliance, dual-supply operation (3.3 V DVDD / 5 V AVDD), TQFP-48 package compatibility, and support for CD/LINE_IN/MIC analog inputs with independent gain/attenuation control.
Technical Context
The AD1887JSTZ implements separate multibit Σ-Δ ADC and DAC architectures with digital decimation/interpolation filters (passband 0–0.4×fS, stopband rejection –74 dB), enabling high-fidelity audio conversion. Its AC'97 link interface uses BIT_CLK (12.288 MHz), SYNC (48 kHz frame sync), SDATA_IN/SDATA_OUT, and RESET for host controller communication.
On-chip analog functions include a software-enabled VREFOUT (2.25 V, 5 mA) for microphone bias, programmable PGA (0–22.5 dB in 1.5 dB steps), and analog mixer with ±46.5 dB input gain/attenuation range across MIC, LINE_IN, CD, and DAC paths - all configurable via indexed 16-bit registers over the AC'97 serial interface.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar AC'97 audio codec applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD1885JSTZ | Same 48-pin TQFP package; lacks VREFOUT and mobile low-power mixer mode; lower power-down current (1.2 mA vs 2.1 mA) | Targeted at cost-sensitive desktop boards where mic bias and ultra-low standby not required | Select AD1885JSTZ only if VREFOUT and LPMIX functionality are unused; verify register compatibility for existing firmware |
| AK4531VN | AC'97 2.1-compliant; 32-pin QFP; no integrated headphone amp; requires external VREF | Used in space-constrained embedded systems where external amplification is acceptable | Choose AK4531VN when board area is critical and analog output buffering is handled externally |
Compared with AD1885JSTZ and AK4531VN, AD1887JSTZ uniquely integrates VREFOUT and a low-power mixer mode while maintaining full AC'97 2.2 compliance and headphone drive capability - making it optimal for legacy PC audio designs requiring self-contained analog signal conditioning.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for AD1887JSTZ?
The AD1887JSTZ is specified for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to 70°C ambient. This range aligns with standard desktop motherboard thermal environments and is validated per the ordering guide for the JSTZ grade. Thermal resistance values (θJA = 76.2°C/W) support reliable operation under typical 253 mW power dissipation conditions.
Does AD1887JSTZ support AC'97 2.2-compliant sample rate switching?
Yes, AD1887JSTZ fully supports AC'97 2.2 variable sample rate operation from 7040 Hz to 48 kHz in 1 Hz increments via its programmable sample rate generators. The device implements the required AC'97 2.2 register set (SR0/SR1) and maintains timing compliance across all supported rates, including non-standard frequencies used in legacy multimedia applications.
Can AD1887JSTZ drive headphones directly without external amplification?
Yes, AD1887JSTZ integrates a stereo headphone amplifier capable of delivering ±1 V RMS (2.83 V p-p) into 32 Ω loads. Its 6-bit volume control (1.5 dB/step, –94.5 dB span) and mute function enable direct connection to standard PC headphones without additional buffer stages or passive components.
What is the purpose of the VREFOUT pin on AD1887JSTZ?
The VREFOUT pin on AD1887JSTZ provides a regulated 2.25 V ±0.2 V output with 5 mA drive capability, intended to bias electret condenser microphones. This eliminates the need for external voltage dividers or regulators in MIC input circuits, simplifying design and improving noise immunity in audio capture paths.
How does AD1887JSTZ handle power management in low-power modes?
AD1887JSTZ implements granular power-down control via the Power-Down Control/Status register (Index 26h). Individual blocks - ADC, DAC, mixer, and analog CD path - can be disabled to reduce current draw, achieving as low as 0.06 mA (DVDD) / 0 mA (AVDD) in full standby mode while retaining register state and AC-link readiness.
