Product details
Overview
AD1939YSTZRL from Analog Devices is a 4-channel ADC / 8-channel DAC high-performance audio codec with differential I/O, 24-bit resolution, 192 kHz sample rate support, 112 dB DAC dynamic range (A-weighted), and integrated PLL clock management. It operates from a single 3.3 V supply and is qualified for automotive audio systems requiring low EMI and precise analog performance.
For engineers reviewing the AD1939YSTZRL datasheet, AD1939YSTZRL pinout, AD1939YSTZRL application, or AD1939YSTZRL equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, automotive-grade timing behavior, and confirmed alternative codecs for multi-channel audio system design.
Technical Context
The AD1939YSTZRL implements four sigma-delta ADCs with differential inputs and on-chip 79 dB stop-band digital anti-aliasing filters, oversampled at 128×, supporting 48/96/192 kHz modes. Its eight DACs use continuous-time architecture with 70 dB stop-band reconstruction filters and programmable 0.375 dB volume steps across 255 levels.
Timing is managed by an on-chip PLL that accepts LRCLK or crystal/MCLKI input to generate internal clocks-256×fS for ADCs and scalable 512×/256×/128×fS for DACs-and supports direct MCLK bypass in 48/96 kHz modes. The device includes SPI-controlled mute, power-down, and de-emphasis, with TDM and daisy-chain serial interface flexibility.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ADC Channels | 4-channel, configured as two stereo differential pairs; enables simultaneous capture of front/rear or left/right audio streams with >102 dB SNR. |
| DAC Channels | 8-channel, arranged as four stereo differential outputs; supports full discrete 7.1 surround sound without external channel expansion. |
| Resolution & Sample Rate | 24-bit resolution with 8–192 kHz sample rate support; maintains full dynamic range up to 96 kHz, with usable headroom at 192 kHz for professional mastering workflows. |
| DAC Dynamic Range | 112 dB (A-weighted, average); ensures ultra-low noise floor in quiet listening environments, critical for premium automotive cabin audio. |
| ADC Dynamic Range | 107 dB (A-weighted, typical); preserves detail in high-SNR microphone or line-level inputs, minimizing quantization artifacts. |
| THD + N (DAC) | −94 dB at 0 dBFS (2-channel active); meets THX and EIAJ standards for distortion-limited playback in home theater and broadcast monitoring. |
| Supply Voltage | Single 3.3 V AVDD/DVDD; reduces board-level power conversion complexity and heat generation versus dual-supply codecs. |
| Package | 64-lead LQFP (10 mm × 10 mm, 0.5 mm pitch); compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles and automotive-grade PCB thermal cycling requirements. |
Pinout & Package
AD1939YSTZRL is housed in a 64-lead LQFP package with exposed pad (thermal pad down), optimized for automotive thermal dissipation (θJC = 11.1°C/W). Pin 1 is marked via top-side dot; pins 49–50 and 63–64 are NC. Grounding follows strict analog/digital separation: AGND (pins 1, 4, 44, 46, 48, 62), DGND (pins 16, 33).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| MCLKI/XI (Pin 2) | Master clock or crystal oscillator input | Accepts 6.9–13.8 MHz crystal or external clock; enables PLL lock without external oscillator, reducing BOM count in space-constrained modules. |
| ADC1LP/ADC1LN (Pins 53/54) | Differential left-channel ADC input pair | Requires 100 Ω series isolation + 1 nF NP0 ground cap per pin; common-mode bias at 1.5 V eliminates need for external level-shifting op amps. |
| OL1P/OL1N (Pins 36/37) | Differential left-channel DAC output pair | Delivers ±1.27 V swing at 0 dBFS into 100 Ω load; mandates external third-order LPF for noise suppression and differential-to-single-ended conversion. |
| CIN/COUT/CCLK/CLATCH (Pins 30/31/34/35) | SPI control interface | Supports 10 MHz CCLK; CLATCH enables synchronous register writes; allows runtime volume, mute, and filter configuration without audio interruption. |
| FILTR (Pin 47) | Internal reference voltage filter node | Must be bypassed with 10 µF || 100 nF to AGND; stabilizes 1.5 V reference for ADC/DAC biasing and prevents audible pop during power-up. |
| CM (Pin 52) | Common-mode reference output | Provides 1.5 V reference for external op amp biasing; eliminates mismatch-induced DC offset when buffering differential I/O stages. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low EMI architecture | On-chip PLL eliminates external high-frequency master clock; continuous-time DAC/ADC design minimizes radiated emissions in automotive EMC-critical zones. |
| Differential I/O | Full differential ADC inputs and DAC outputs reject common-mode noise up to 55 dB CMRR, enabling robust operation near engine control units or infotainment processors. |
| Logarithmic volume control | 255-step attenuation (0.375 dB/step) with autoramp prevents zipper noise and click artifacts during real-time gain adjustment in navigation voice prompts or call mixing. |
| Automotive qualification | Rated for −40°C to +125°C case temperature; qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 2; supports extended thermal cycling in dashboard-mounted head units and amplifier modules. |
| TDM and daisy-chain support | Configurable for up to 16-channel I/O on single data lines; enables scalable audio routing in multi-zone HVAC or rear-seat entertainment systems without additional serializers. |
| Software power-down | Reduces total current to 2.0 mA (digital) and 23 mA (analog); extends battery life in always-on telematics gateways during vehicle sleep mode. |

FAQ
What is the maximum sample rate supported by the AD1939YSTZRL?
The AD1939YSTZRL supports sample rates from 8 kHz up to 192 kHz across all ADC and DAC channels. At 192 kHz, the DAC interpolation filter operates at 128× oversampling, and the ADC decimation filter maintains 79 dB stop-band attenuation. Verified operation at 192 kHz is documented in Table 6 and Figure 9–10 of the Rev. E datasheet.
Does the AD1939YSTZRL require external clock circuitry?
No-the AD1939YSTZRL integrates a fully functional PLL that accepts either an external master clock (6.9–13.8 MHz) or a crystal (via MCLKI/XI pin) to generate internal clocks. This eliminates the need for external clock generators in most designs, though a direct 27.6 MHz MCLK may be used in 512×fS bypass mode per Table 7.
How many differential analog outputs does the AD1939YSTZRL provide?
The AD1939YSTZRL provides eight differential analog outputs-four stereo pairs (OL1P/OL1N through OR4P/OR4N)-each capable of ±1.27 V swing at 0 dBFS. These are explicitly defined in Pin Configuration Figure 2 and Table 10, with dedicated pins assigned for each positive/negative pair.
Is the AD1939YSTZRL qualified for automotive applications?
Yes-the AD1939YSTZRL is explicitly qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q100 Grade 2, with guaranteed operation from −40°C to +125°C case temperature. This qualification is stated in the Features section (Rev. E, Page 1) and reinforced in the Revision History (Rev. C added "Qualified for Automotive Applications").
What serial interface protocols does the AD1939YSTZRL support for control and audio data?
The AD1939YSTZRL uses SPI for register control (CIN/COUT/CCLK/CLATCH) and supports multiple audio data protocols: I²S, left-justified, right-justified, and TDM up to 16 channels. DAC and ADC serial ports operate independently with configurable bit clocks (DBCLK/ABCLK) and frame clocks (DLRCLK/ALRCLK), as detailed in Sections 15–17 of the datasheet.
