Product details
Overview
AD1928YSTZ-RL from Analog Devices is a high-performance 2-channel ADC / 8-channel DAC audio codec IC with integrated PLL, 24-bit resolution, 192 kHz sample rate support, and 108 dB DAC dynamic range. It operates from a single 3.3 V supply, features differential ADC inputs and single-ended DAC outputs, and targets multi-channel audio systems requiring low EMI and precise volume control.
For engineers reviewing the AD1928YSTZ-RL datasheet, AD1928YSTZ-RL pinout, AD1928YSTZ-RL application, or AD1928YSTZ-RL equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, functional context, package mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for automotive infotainment, home theater, and digital audio effects design.
Technical Context
The AD1928YSTZ-RL implements Analog Devices' patented multibit sigma-delta architecture for both ADCs and DACs, with on-chip digital antialiasing (79 dB stop-band attenuation) and reconstruction filters (70 dB stop-band attenuation). Its PLL supports 256×/384×/512×/768× fS multiplication from MCLKI/XI or LRCLK, enabling master clock derivation without external high-frequency sources.
It provides four independent stereo DAC pairs (eight single-ended outputs), each with 255-step log-volume control (0.375 dB/step), and two differential-input ADC channels with programmable high-pass filtering. Serial interfaces include SPI control (24-bit words), dual-line TDM-capable DAC/ADC data ports, and auxiliary I/O for system expansion.

Pinout & Package
AD1928YSTZ-RL is housed in a 48-lead LQFP package with exposed pad (θJA = 50.1°C/W, θJC = 17°C/W). Pin functions are validated per Rev. B datasheet Figure 2 and Table 10. Grounding follows strict analog/digital separation: AGND (Pins 1, 4, 32, 34, 36), DGND (Pins 12, 25), and dedicated AVDD (Pins 5, 33, 37, 48) and DVDD (Pin 13).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ADC1LP / ADC1LN / ADC1RP / ADC1RN (Pins 43–46) | Differential ADC input pair | Accepts balanced line/mic signals; requires 100 Ω series + 1 nF shunt filter per input for optimal SNR |
| OL1–OL4 / OR1–OR4 (Pins 6–9, 28–31) | Single-ended DAC outputs | Each delivers ±1.27 V swing at 0 dBFS; common-mode bias at 1.5 V referenced to CM pin (Pin 38) |
| MCLKI/XI & MCLKO/XO (Pins 2, 3) | Crystal oscillator interface / PLL reference | Supports 6.9–13.8 MHz crystal or external clock; enables jitter-sensitive PLL lock (10 ms typical) |
| CIN / COUT / CCLK / CLATCH (Pins 23, 24, 26, 27) | SPI control port | 24-bit Motorola-compatible interface; CLATCH edge-triggered latch enables register programming independent of audio clocks |
| PD/RST (Pin 10) | Active-low reset/power-down | Hardware-initiated full register reset; does not mute analog outputs to prevent pop/click transients |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip PLL with multiple multiplication ratios | Eliminates need for external 12.288 MHz master clock; reduces board-level EMI by suppressing high-frequency clock routing |
| Logarithmic volume control with autoramp | 255-step attenuation (0.375 dB/step) + smooth ramping prevents audible clicks during level changes |
| Software-controllable clickless mute | Zero-crossing detection and soft mute sequencing ensure silent transitions without hardware intervention |
| Dual-line TDM mode support | Enables up to 16-channel I/O on shared serial bus - reduces PCB trace count in multi-zone audio systems |
| Low-EMI analog architecture | Continuous-time sigma-delta modulators + 3.3 V operation minimize radiated emissions for automotive EMC compliance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar audio codec applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AK4118VN | 4 ADC / 8 DAC, 192 kHz, 110 dB DR, but requires dual 3.3 V/1.8 V supplies and lacks integrated PLL | Better DR but higher BOM cost and layout complexity due to separate analog/digital rails and external clocking | Prefer when absolute SNR > 108 dB is mandatory and external clock source is available |
| CS42888-CQZ | 8 ADC / 8 DAC, 192 kHz, 114 dB DR, integrated PLL, but uses 48-lead QFN (no lead) instead of LQFP | Higher channel count and DR, yet incompatible footprint and thermal profile (θJA = 32°C/W vs. 50.1°C/W) | Choose only if redesigning PCB for QFN and needing simultaneous 8-channel capture |
Compared with AK4118VN and CS42888-CQZ, AD1928YSTZ-RL offers the optimal balance of single-supply simplicity, LQFP manufacturability, and proven low-EMI performance in space-constrained automotive and consumer audio designs - without requiring supply rail splitting or requalification for new package thermal behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported sample rate for AD1928YSTZ-RL?
The AD1928YSTZ-RL supports sample rates up to 192 kHz for both ADC and DAC paths. At 192 kHz, the internal DAC clock operates at 128×fS, and the ADC clock remains at 256×fS. The device maintains full 24-bit resolution and specified dynamic range (107 dB ADC, 108 dB DAC) across all supported rates from 8 kHz to 192 kHz, as verified in Tables 1 and 2 of the Rev. B datasheet.
Does AD1928YSTZ-RL require an external crystal oscillator?
No - AD1928YSTZ-RL can operate with or without an external crystal. Its integrated PLL accepts either a crystal connected between MCLKI/XI (Pin 2) and MCLKO/XO (Pin 3), or a single-ended clock applied to MCLKI/XI. The default power-up configuration uses the PLL referenced to MCLKI/XI at 256×fS, making external crystal optional for many applications.
How many independent volume controls does AD1928YSTZ-RL provide?
The AD1928YSTZ-RL provides eight independent digital volume controls - one per DAC channel (OL1/OR1 through OL4/OR4). Each offers 255 logarithmic steps (0.375 dB per step) with autoramp functionality to eliminate audible artifacts during level changes, as detailed in the "Log volume control with autoramp function" feature and Register Map section of the datasheet.
Is AD1928YSTZ-RL pin-compatible with other members of the AD192x family?
No - AD1928YSTZ-RL is not pin-compatible with AD1926 or AD1925. While sharing the same 48-lead LQFP package, pin assignments differ significantly: AD1928 includes four DAC serial data inputs (DSDATA1–4) and dual TDM capability, whereas AD1926 has only two DSDATA lines and no TDM support. Pin mapping must be verified against each device's individual datasheet.
What is the purpose of the CM pin on AD1928YSTZ-RL?
The CM (Common-Mode) pin (Pin 38) on AD1928YSTZ-RL provides a stable 1.5 V reference for biasing external op amps used to buffer ADC inputs or DAC outputs. It is internally connected to the common-mode voltage of all analog I/O circuits. The datasheet specifies bypassing CM to AGND with a 47 μF || 100 nF capacitor to maintain low-noise operation and prevent coupling of digital switching noise into the analog signal path.
