Product details
Overview
ADAU1328BSTZ-RL from Analog Devices is a 24-bit, 192 kHz stereo audio codec IC featuring two differential-input ADCs and eight single-ended-output DACs, integrated PLL clock generation, SPI control interface, and 48-lead LQFP packaging - deployed in home theater systems for multichannel analog audio I/O with low-EMI operation.
For engineers reviewing the ADAU1328BSTZ-RL datasheet, ADAU1328BSTZ-RL pinout, ADAU1328BSTZ-RL application, or ADAU1328BSTZ-RL equivalent, key selection considerations include its 108 dB DAC dynamic range, support for TDM up to 16 channels, 0.375 dB volume step resolution, 3.3 V dual-supply operation, and differential ADC input architecture requiring external 100 Ω + 1 nF RC filtering.
Technical Context
The ADAU1328BSTZ-RL implements sigma-delta ADCs with 79 dB stop-band attenuation and linear-phase decimation filters, plus interpolation DAC filters with 70 dB stop-band attenuation across 48/96/192 kHz modes. Its on-chip PLL derives internal clocks from LRCLK or MCLKI (6.9–13.8 MHz in PLL mode), eliminating need for high-frequency external master clocks.
It supports master/slave serial audio interfaces (I²S, left/right-justified, TDM) with independent DBCLK/DLRCLK and ABCLK/ALRCLK domains, four DAC data inputs (DSDATA1–4), two ADC data outputs (ASDATA1–2), and configurable SPI control (24-bit words, 10 MHz max CCLK) for register-level volume, mute, and filter control.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar audio codec applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AK4621VN | 24-bit, 192 kHz, 2 ADC/8 DAC, but uses 5 V analog supply and lacks integrated PLL; requires external clock generator. | Higher power consumption and larger external component count; less suitable for low-EMI, space-constrained designs. | Choose AK4621VN only if existing 5 V analog rail is fixed and external clock distribution is already implemented. |
| CS42888-CQZ | 24-bit, 192 kHz, 2 ADC/8 DAC with integrated PLL, but supports only I²S/TDM (no left/right-justified) and has lower 103 dB DAC SNR. | Limited format flexibility and 5 dB lower dynamic range affects high-end audio fidelity in critical listening environments. | CS42888-CQZ fits cost-sensitive consumer audio where full 108 dB performance is not required and I²S-only interface suffices. |
Compared with AK4621VN and CS42888-CQZ, ADAU1328BSTZ-RL uniquely combines 3.3 V operation, on-chip PLL, 108 dB DAC SNR, and full-format serial interface support - making it optimal for compact, low-EMI, high-fidelity multichannel audio systems requiring minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported sample rate for ADAU1328BSTZ-RL?
The ADAU1328BSTZ-RL 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 × fS, and the ADC decimation filter maintains 79 dB stop-band attenuation. The device's PLL must be enabled for 192 kHz operation - direct MCLK mode is not supported at this rate.
Does ADAU1328BSTZ-RL require external passive components for ADC input filtering?
Yes, ADAU1328BSTZ-RL requires external 100 Ω series resistors and 1 nF shunt capacitors (NPO or polypropylene film) on each ADC differential input pin (e.g., ADC1LP/LN) to isolate the internal switched-capacitor sampling circuitry from external driving op-amps and prevent SNR degradation.
Can ADAU1328BSTZ-RL operate without an SPI microcontroller?
Yes, ADAU1328BSTZ-RL supports standalone mode: grounding CIN/ADR0, CCLK/SCL, and CLATCH/ADR1 at power-up configures default I²S stereo operation at 256 × fS with all registers initialized. In this mode, volume and mute are fixed; full functionality requires SPI control.
What is the purpose of the FILTR pin on ADAU1328BSTZ-RL?
The FILTR pin on ADAU1328BSTZ-RL provides access to the internal voltage reference (1.5 V nominal). It must be bypassed with a parallel 10 µF aluminum electrolytic and 100 nF ceramic capacitor to AGND, placed as close as possible to the pin, to stabilize the reference and ensure ADC/DAC accuracy and low-noise performance.
How many DAC channels does ADAU1328BSTZ-RL provide, and what is their output type?
ADAU1328BSTZ-RL provides eight DAC channels arranged as four stereo pairs (OL1/OR1 through OL4/OR4), all with single-ended analog outputs. Each output has a 1.5 V common-mode voltage and delivers ±1.27 V p-p at 0 dBFS, requiring external third-order low-pass filtering before connection to amplifiers or speakers.
