Product details
Overview
ADAU1373BCBZ-R7 from Analog Devices is a low-power stereo audio codec with integrated SigmaDSP® core, featuring 1 stereo ADC and 2 stereo DACs (8–48 kHz), true ground-centered Class-G headphone amplifier (2 × 50 mW @ 16 Ω, 1.8 V), and filterless Class-D speaker amplifier (2 × 880 mW @ 8 Ω, 3.6 V), deployed in mobile phone baseband/audio subsystems for simultaneous record/playback with digital signal processing.
For engineers reviewing the ADAU1373BCBZ-R7 datasheet, ADAU1373BCBZ-R7 pinout, ADAU1373BCBZ-R7 application, or ADAU1373BCBZ-R7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual DAC architecture with ASRC support, dual PLL clocking (8 kHz–27 MHz input), I²C control interface, 81-ball 0.4 mm pitch WLCSP package, and integrated dynamic range control/equalization for acoustic compensation in space-constrained portable devices.
Technical Context
The ADAU1373BCBZ-R7 implements two independent PLLs-PLLA and PLLB-with programmable dividers to generate precise audio clocks from wide-range input frequencies (8 kHz to 27 MHz), enabling synchronization across mixed-sampling-rate digital audio interfaces (I²S/PCM/right-justified/left-justified) and asynchronous sample rate converters (ASRCs) on three serial ports.
Its analog front end supports eight single-ended or four differential inputs with programmable gain amplifiers (−12 dB to +18 dB), dual microphone bias generators with current sense, and two stereo digital microphone interfaces (DMIC1_2_DATA, DMIC3_4_DATA), while the output stage integrates line, headphone, speaker, and earpiece amplifiers with dedicated ground domains (HPGND, SPKGND, AGND, DGND).

| SPKLP/SPKLN/SPKRP/SPKRN | Speaker Differential Outputs | Class-D switching outputs delivering 880 mW/channel into 8 Ω; require external LC filter only if EMI mitigation needed |
| SCL / SDA | I²C Control Interface | Two-wire serial bus for register configuration, firmware loading, and real-time parameter updates (up to 400 kHz) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated SigmaDSP® Core | Programmable 28-/56-bit fixed-point engine enabling custom EQ, DRC, bass/3D enhancement, and acoustic echo cancellation without host CPU load |
| Asynchronous Sample Rate Conversion (ASRC) | Three independent ASRC blocks allow concurrent operation at mismatched sampling rates (e.g., 44.1 kHz mic + 48 kHz playback), eliminating clock domain conflicts |
| Dual PLL Architecture | PLLA and PLLB support independent clock trees-for example, one PLL for ADC/DAC sampling and another for digital interface timing-improving jitter immunity |
| Flexible Analog Mixer Matrix | Configurable routing of all analog inputs (AIN1L–AIN4R) to ADCs or bypass paths, plus post-DAC mixing to line/headphone/speaker outputs |
| Digital Microphone Interface | Native PDM support for up to four digital microphones with built-in decimation, removing need for external FPGA or ASIC preprocessing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar audio codec applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AK4458VN | 32-bit DAC-only (no ADC, no DSP, no Class-D amp), requires external mic preamp and clock generator | Targeted at premium DAC-focused audio systems-not suitable for full duplex or space-constrained mobile designs | Select when highest DAC SNR (>112 dB) is prioritized over integration, and system already includes separate ADC/mic bias/processing |
| TLV320AIC3254IRGCT | Lower power (5 mW playback), no Class-D speaker amp, single PLL, no digital microphone interface, smaller 40-pin QFN | Better suited for wearables or hearing aids where speaker output and PDM mic support are unnecessary | Choose for ultra-low-power wearable voice UI where 880 mW speaker drive and 4-channel DMIC are not required |
Compared with AK4458VN and TLV320AIC3254IRGCT, the ADAU1373BCBZ-R7 uniquely combines dual DACs with integrated Class-D speaker amplifier, dual PLL clocking, native PDM microphone support, and programmable SigmaDSP-making it the only option among the three capable of standalone full-duplex mobile audio subsystem implementation without supplemental ICs.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the ADAU1373BCBZ-R7?
The ADAU1373BCBZ-R7 is rated for −40°C to +85°C ambient operation, validated across full voltage and sampling rate ranges. This industrial-grade thermal specification ensures reliable performance in smartphone chassis environments where internal temperatures routinely exceed 60°C during sustained multimedia use. The ADAU1373BCBZ-R7 maintains specified THD+N and SNR performance throughout this range without derating.
Does the ADAU1373BCBZ-R7 support I²S format on all three digital audio ports?
Yes, the ADAU1373BCBZ-R7 supports I²S, PCM, right-justified, and left-justified formats on each of its three serial digital audio interfaces (A/B/C). Format selection is register-configurable per port and independent of clock source-enabling simultaneous connection to baseband processor (I²S), Bluetooth SoC (PCM), and digital microphone array (PDM via DMIC_CLK/DMICx_DATA pins). The ADAU1373BCBZ-R7 does not require external level-shifting or protocol translation.
Can the ADAU1373BCBZ-R7 drive 32 Ω earpiece speakers directly?
Yes, the ADAU1373BCBZ-R7 includes a dedicated differential earpiece amplifier (EPP/EPN pins) rated for 32 Ω loads with >90 dB PSRR and <0.01% THD+N at 100 mW. It operates from the HPVDD rail and features independent volume control and mute capability via I²C registers. Unlike the headphone amplifier, the earpiece path is optimized for narrowband voice response and low-noise operation-making it ideal for receiver modules in smartphones. The ADAU1373BCBZ-R7 supports concurrent earpiece and headphone output activation.
How many microphone inputs does the ADAU1373BCBZ-R7 support, and what types?
The ADAU1373BCBZ-R7 supports up to eight analog microphone inputs (via AIN1L–AIN4R pins configured as four differential pairs) and four digital microphone channels (two stereo DMIC buses: DMIC1_2_DATA and DMIC3_4_DATA). Each analog input includes a PGA with −12 dB to +18 dB gain range and selectable bias (MICBIAS1/MICBIAS2). Digital mic support includes PDM clocking (DMIC_CLK) and data recovery with built-in decimation-no external logic required. All microphone paths feed into the SigmaDSP® core for preprocessing before ADC conversion or direct digital routing.
Is SigmaStudio™ configuration required to use the ADAU1373BCBZ-R7?
No-SigmaStudio™ is optional. The ADAU1373BCBZ-R7 operates as a standard audio codec with default register settings enabling immediate ADC/DAC functionality via I²C. SigmaStudio™ is only required to deploy custom DSP algorithms (e.g., parametric EQ, multiband compression, AEC). Factory-programmed DSP configurations can be stored in external EEPROM and auto-loaded at boot, allowing host MCU-free operation. The ADAU1373BCBZ-R7 retains full I²C register access regardless of DSP usage-making it usable in both programmable and fixed-function modes.
