Product details
Overview
AD1939YSTZ from Analog Devices is a high-performance audio codec IC integrating 4 differential-input ADCs and 8 differential-output DACs, supporting up to 192 kHz/24-bit sample rates with 112 dB DAC dynamic range and −94 dB THD+N. It features an on-chip PLL for flexible clock generation, SPI-based software control, and is qualified for automotive audio systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD1939YSTZ datasheet, AD1939YSTZ pinout, AD1939YSTZ application, or AD1939YSTZ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, automotive-grade reliability data, and two confirmed alternative codecs with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The AD1939YSTZ implements four independent sigma-delta ADC channels (two stereo pairs) with 128× oversampling and 79 dB stop-band attenuation digital anti-aliasing filters. Each ADC accepts differential analog inputs biased at 1.5 V common-mode voltage and supports 8–192 kHz sample rates via programmable PLL modes (256×/384×/512×/768× fS).
Its eight DAC channels are organized as four stereo differential output pairs, each with independent 0.375 dB-step volume control and on-chip interpolation filters offering 70 dB stop-band attenuation. DAC operation uses 4× oversampling at 48/96 kHz and 2× at 192 kHz, with internal clocks derived either from the PLL or direct MCLK input (up to 27.6 MHz in 512×fS mode).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ADC/DAC Count | 4 ADCs (differential input), 8 DACs (differential output) - enables full multi-channel audio capture and playback without external channel expansion. |
| Resolution & Sample Rate | 24-bit resolution, 8–192 kHz sample rate support - meets studio-grade and high-definition automotive audio timing requirements. |
| DAC Dynamic Range | 112 dB (A-weighted, average) - ensures ultra-low noise floor for high-fidelity speaker driver stages in premium audio head units. |
| THD + N | −94 dB (0 dBFS, two DAC channels active) - minimizes audible distortion in critical left/right front channel outputs. |
| Supply Voltage | Single 3.3 V AVDD/DVDD supply - simplifies power design and reduces EMI vs. dual-supply codecs; 5 V tolerant logic inputs allow direct MCU interface. |
| PLL Clock Flexibility | Supports PLL-generated or direct master clock (up to 27.6 MHz); eliminates need for external high-frequency crystal - lowers BOM cost and board space in compact infotainment modules. |
| Package | 64-lead LQFP (10 mm × 10 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) - provides thermal resistance θJA = 47°C/W suitable for under-dash automotive environments. |
Pinout & Package
AD1939YSTZ is housed in a 64-lead LQFP package with exposed pad (not electrically connected), rated for −40°C to +125°C case temperature and qualified per AEC-Q100 for automotive use.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| MCLKI/XI (Pin 2) | Master clock input / crystal oscillator input | Accepts external 12.288 MHz crystal or CMOS clock; enables PLL lock without external oscillator circuitry. |
| OL1P/OL1N (Pins 36/37) | DAC1 left differential output pair | Delivers low-noise, balanced analog output; requires external third-order LPF for anti-imaging and differential-to-single-ended conversion. |
| ADC1LP/ADC1LN (Pins 53/54) | ADC1 left differential input pair | Requires 100 Ω series isolation + 1 nF NP0 ground capacitor per pin to suppress switched-capacitor charge injection glitches. |
| PD/RST (Pin 14) | Active-low power-down/reset | Pulls all DAC/ADC blocks into low-power state (2.0 mA total current); asynchronous reset clears internal registers on falling edge. |
| FILTR (Pin 47) | Voltage reference filter node | Must be bypassed with 10 µF || 100 nF to AGND; stabilizes internal 1.5 V reference for ADC/DAC bias accuracy and PSRR performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logarithmic volume control with autoramp | 255-step attenuation (0.375 dB/step) with glitch-free ramping prevents audible pop/click during level transitions in navigation voice prompts. |
| Software-controllable clickless mute | Hardware-enforced zero-crossing detection mutes DAC outputs within one sample period - essential for seamless source switching in multi-zone audio systems. |
| Differential I/O architecture | 100 dB interchannel isolation (DAC) and 110 dB (ADC) rejects common-mode noise from engine EMI and DC-DC converters in vehicle cabins. |
| Low-EMI system design | On-chip PLL eliminates external 12+ MHz master clock trace; 3.3 V supplies and continuous-time sigma-delta modulators reduce radiated emissions by >10 dB vs. legacy codecs. |
| TDM and daisy-chain support | Configurable for up to 16-channel I/O on single data lines - enables scalable audio processing across multiple AD1939YSTZ devices in premium surround-sound amplifiers. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar audio codec applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AK4621VN | 4 ADC / 8 DAC, 192 kHz/24-bit, but only 102 dB DAC DR and −85 dB THD+N; no integrated PLL; requires external clock generator. | Lacks automotive qualification and on-chip PLL - suitable for cost-sensitive consumer AV receivers where EMI control is less stringent. | Select AK4621VN when BOM cost reduction outweighs need for automotive reliability and simplified clock tree design. |
| CS42526-CQZ | 6 ADC / 8 DAC, 192 kHz/24-bit, 114 dB DAC DR, −95 dB THD+N, but uses 5 V analog/digital supplies and 48-lead QFP - higher power and larger footprint. | Higher supply voltage increases EMI risk and limits compatibility with 3.3 V-only SoC platforms used in modern automotive infotainment. | Choose CS42526-CQZ only if additional ADC channels are required and 5 V system architecture is already established. |
Compared with AK4621VN and CS42526-CQZ, AD1939YSTZ uniquely balances automotive qualification, integrated PLL clocking, 3.3 V operation, and 112 dB DAC dynamic range - making it optimal for space-constrained, EMI-sensitive, and safety-critical vehicle audio systems where supply simplicity and noise floor matter most.

FAQ
What is the maximum sample rate supported by the AD1939YSTZ?
The AD1939YSTZ supports sample rates from 8 kHz up to 192 kHz across all 4 ADC and 8 DAC channels. At 192 kHz, the DAC interpolation filter operates at 2× oversampling, and the ADC decimation filter maintains 128× oversampling. This capability enables high-resolution audio playback and recording in professional and premium automotive audio systems using the AD1939YSTZ.
Does the AD1939YSTZ require an external crystal oscillator?
No - the AD1939YSTZ integrates a crystal oscillator circuit on die. Pin 2 (MCLKI/XI) accepts either an external 12.288 MHz crystal (connected between MCLKI/XI and MCLKO/XO) or a CMOS clock signal. The on-chip PLL then derives all internal clocks, eliminating the need for a separate oscillator IC and reducing board area and EMI sources in designs using the AD1939YSTZ.
How does the AD1939YSTZ handle power-down and mute functions?
The AD1939YSTZ provides both hardware and software power-down: Pin 14 (PD/RST) asserts active-low reset, reducing total current to 2.0 mA; additionally, SPI register control enables clickless mute with zero-crossing detection, silencing DAC outputs within one sample period. These dual mechanisms ensure silent startup, safe sleep/wake transitions, and glitch-free muting in voice-guided interfaces using the AD1939YSTZ.
Can the AD1939YSTZ interface directly with a 5 V microcontroller?
Yes - the AD1939YSTZ digital I/O pins (CIN, COUT, CCLK, CLATCH, DSDATAx, ASDATAx, etc.) tolerate 5 V logic inputs while operating from a 3.3 V DVDD supply. Input high threshold is 2.0 V minimum, and absolute max input voltage is DVDD + 0.3 V. This allows direct connection to legacy 5 V MCUs without level shifters, simplifying control interface design for systems built around the AD1939YSTZ.
What is the purpose of the FILTR and CM pins on the AD1939YSTZ?
FILTR (Pin 47) connects to the internal 1.5 V reference filter node and must be bypassed with 10 µF || 100 nF to AGND to stabilize reference voltage for ADC/DAC bias accuracy. CM (Pin 52) provides the 1.5 V common-mode reference for differential I/O stages and must be bypassed with 47 µF || 100 nF to AGND - both are critical for achieving specified SNR, THD+N, and PSRR performance in the AD1939YSTZ.
