Product details
Overview
AD1980JSTZ-REEL from Analog Devices is an AC '97 2.3-compliant audio codec IC designed for PC motherboard and multimedia system audio subsystems. It integrates six 20-bit DACs for 5.1-channel surround output, a 16-bit stereo ADC, S/PDIF transmitter, integrated headphone amplifier, and programmable parametric equalizer - all in a single 48-lead LQFP package. It supports variable sample rates from 7 kHz to 96 kHz and delivers >90 dB dynamic range for CD-quality playback.
For engineers reviewing the AD1980JSTZ-REEL datasheet, AD1980JSTZ-REEL pinout, AD1980JSTZ-REEL application, or AD1980JSTZ-REEL equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, validated AC '97 interface timing, confirmed analog I/O roles (LINE_IN_L/R, SURR_OUT_L/R, HP_OUT_L/R), and real-world use cases in desktop audio subsystems with jack-sense–enabled topology switching.
Technical Context
The AD1980JSTZ-REEL implements a full AC '97 2.3 digital audio controller with dedicated PCM front/surround/center/LFE DAC paths and independent stereo ADC input channels. Its integrated PLL accepts 24.576 MHz crystal input or 14.31818 MHz/48 MHz reference clocks to generate precise 12.288 MHz BIT_CLK with ≤750 ps jitter.
Analog signal routing includes software-controllable mixing of up to eight inputs (MIC1/2, LINE_IN, CD, AUX, PHONE_IN) into multiple output paths, with per-channel 1.5 dB step volume control, mute, and gain/attenuation spanning 46.5 dB. Jack sense (JS0/JS1) and EAPD enable automatic topology detection and external amplifier power-down.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar audio codec applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD1981BASTZ-REEL | Enhanced AC '97 2.3 codec with 24-bit DACs, integrated AC-Link controller, and lower THD (–94 dB vs –90 dB LINE_OUT) | Targets premium desktops requiring higher SNR and built-in AC-Link master capability; lacks SPDIF output | Select AD1981BASTZ-REEL only if SPDIF is unnecessary and SNR >95 dB is required - not drop-in compatible due to different register map and pinout |
| WM9713LGEFL/V | Wolfson AC '97 codec with integrated touch-screen controller, 20-bit DACs, and 16-bit ADC; uses 48-pin TQFP but different pin assignment | Designed for mobile/embedded systems with touchscreen I/O; includes GPIOs and battery monitoring not present in AD1980JSTZ-REEL | Choose WM9713LGEFL/V only when touch interface integration is mandatory - requires PCB redesign and driver adaptation |
Compared with AD1980JSTZ-REEL, AD1981BASTZ-REEL offers higher-resolution DACs but removes SPDIF and increases complexity, while WM9713LGEFL/V adds touch functionality at the cost of AC '97 timing precision and desktop audio optimization - making AD1980JSTZ-REEL the optimal choice for cost-sensitive, SPDIF-enabled AC '97 motherboard designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported sample rate for AD1980JSTZ-REEL?
The AD1980JSTZ-REEL supports variable sample rates from 7 kHz to 96 kHz, including double-rate mode (fS = 96 kHz) for high-resolution audio playback. This is achieved via its integrated PLL, which locks to 24.576 MHz crystal input to generate precise 12.288 MHz BIT_CLK. The AD1980JSTZ-REEL does not require external resampling hardware to operate at 96 kHz, as all DAC and ADC paths are natively clocked at that rate.
Does AD1980JSTZ-REEL support stereo microphone input?
Yes, the AD1980JSTZ-REEL supports stereo microphone input via dedicated MIC1 and MIC2 pins (Pins 21 and 22), each with independently programmable preamp gain (0/10/20/30 dB). The MIC Volume Register (0Eh) includes M20 bit to enable 20 dB boost, and MBG[1:0] bits in Register 76h allow adjustment to 10 dB or 30 dB. Both channels feed the stereo ADC path, enabling true dual-mic recording without external amplification.
How does jack sense work on AD1980JSTZ-REEL?
Jack sense on the AD1980JSTZ-REEL is implemented through JS0 and JS1 pins (Pins 17 and 16), which monitor voltage levels at connected audio jacks. When a plug is inserted, these inputs change state and trigger automatic reconfiguration of analog routing (e.g., disabling LINE_OUT and enabling HP_OUT), output drivers, and EAPD signaling. This behavior is controlled by the JACK SENSE register (72h) and requires no host CPU polling - it operates autonomously in hardware.
Can AD1980JSTZ-REEL drive headphones directly?
Yes, the AD1980JSTZ-REEL integrates a stereo headphone amplifier capable of driving 32 Ω loads at full scale (1 V rms). Pins 39 and 41 (SURR_OUT_L/HP_OUT_L and SURR_OUT_R/HP_OUT_R) serve dual roles: when HPSEL bit (Reg 76h, D6) is set, they become dedicated headphone outputs with 100 mW total drive capability. The amplifier supports software-controlled volume (Register 04h) and mute, and automatically enters low-power mode when headphones are unplugged (via jack sense).
What power supply voltages does AD1980JSTZ-REEL require?
The AD1980JSTZ-REEL requires two independent supplies: AVDD = 4.75 V to 5.25 V (typical 5.0 V) for analog circuitry including DACs, ADCs, and headphone amplifier; and DVDD = 3.15 V to 3.45 V (typical 3.3 V) for digital core, AC-Link interface, and register logic. Separate DVDD1/DVDD2 and AVDD1/AVDD2/AVDD3/AVDD4 pins ensure low-noise power distribution. Total typical power dissipation is 563 mW in fully active mode.
