Product details
Overview
DF1704E/2KG4 from Texas Instruments is a stereo, 24-bit, 96kHz 8× oversampling digital interpolation filter IC designed for high-end audio systems. It provides programmable filter response (sharp/slow roll-off), digital de-emphasis, independent left/right attenuation, and supports I²S/standard/left-justified input formats with 16–24-bit word lengths. It serves as the companion filter to the PCM1704 DAC in premium CD players, DAC modules, and studio-grade digital audio converters.
For engineers reviewing the DF1704E/2KG4 datasheet, DF1704E/2KG4 pinout, DF1704E/2KG4 application, or DF1704E/2KG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include stopband attenuation (–115 dB), passband ripple (±0.00005 dB), system clock flexibility (256fS–768fS), on-chip crystal oscillator support, and hardware/software configuration modes for production scalability and design reuse.
Technical Context
The DF1704E/2KG4 implements a fixed-coefficient FIR interpolation filter with 8× oversampling, operating on 24-bit input data at sampling rates from 32 kHz to 96 kHz. Its dual-mode control architecture supports both hardware-pin configuration (MODE = L) and 3-wire serial software programming (MODE = H), enabling flexible integration into DSP-based or discrete logic audio subsystems.
It features an integrated crystal oscillator (XTI/XTO) supporting up to 24.576 MHz, buffered system clock output (CLKO), and fully synchronous audio I/O with BCKIN/LRCIN/DIN inputs and BCKO/WCKO/DOL/DOR outputs. All digital I/O uses Schmitt-trigger inputs with defined VIH/VIL thresholds and supports MSB-first, two's complement data formatting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 24-bit - Enables >144 dB theoretical SNR and full dynamic range preservation in high-fidelity audio chains. |
| Sampling Rate Range | 32 kHz to 96 kHz - Covers CD (44.1 kHz), DAT (48 kHz), and high-res audio (96 kHz) standards without reconfiguration. |
| Stopband Attenuation | –115 dB at 0.546fS - Suppresses imaging artifacts beyond Nyquist by >110 dB, critical for DAC reconstruction fidelity. |
| Passband Ripple | ±0.00005 dB - Maintains flat amplitude response across audible band (<20 kHz), preserving tonal accuracy. |
| System Clock Options | 256fS, 384fS, 512fS, 768fS - Allows clock tree optimization for jitter reduction and EMI management in mixed-signal PCBs. |

Pinout & Package
DF1704E/2KG4 is housed in a 28-pin SSOP package (324 drawing code), with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin functions are validated per TI SBAS099A datasheet revision A, including Schmitt-trigger input conditioning on all control and data pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DIN (1) | Serial audio data input | MSB-first, two's complement input data; sampled on rising edge of BCKIN for synchronization with source clock domain. |
| BCKIN (2) | Input bit clock | Accepts 32fS/48fS/64fS; defines data rate and timing reference for DIN and LRCIN alignment. |
| LRCIN (28) | Left/right channel clock input | Word latch signal at fS; polarity configurable via LRIP pin to match source (e.g., Sony vs. Philips format). |
| DOL / DOR (24/23) | Left/right serial audio outputs | Right-justified, MSB-first, two's complement outputs synchronized to BCKO/WCKO for seamless DAC interfacing. |
| CLKO (9) | Buffered system clock output | Provides clean, low-jitter clock derived from XTI or internal oscillator; selectable frequency (XTI or XTI/2) via CKO pin. |
| RST (14) | Asynchronous reset input | Active-low; forces internal state reset and holds outputs LOW for 1024 system clocks-ensures deterministic startup with DACs. |
| MODE (10) | Control mode select | H = software mode (3-wire serial interface); L = hardware mode (pin-strapped configuration)-enables factory-programmable or field-configurable behavior. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 8× Oversampling FIR Filter | Reduces DAC image energy by >115 dB while maintaining ±0.00005 dB passband flatness-eliminates need for external analog anti-imaging filters. |
| Programmable Roll-Off Response | Sharp (0.454fS–0.493fS) or slow (0.254fS–0.460fS) transition band selection via SRO pin-supports subjective tuning for transient response vs. alias suppression trade-offs. |
| Digital De-Emphasis | Hardware-enabled (DEM pin) with sample-rate-selectable (32/44.1/48 kHz) correction-restores RIAA-curve pre-emphasized CD playback without external circuitry. |
| Independent Channel Attenuation | 0.5 dB step resolution (–127.5 dB to 0 dB) via MODE0/MODE1 registers or hardware pins-enables precise channel balance and volume control in digital domain. |
| On-Chip Crystal Oscillator | Supports fundamental-mode crystals up to 24.576 MHz (XTI/XTO)-removes need for external clock generator, reducing BOM count and jitter sources. |
| Flexible Audio Interface | Configurable input (I²S/standard/left-justified) and output (right-justified) formats with 16/18/20/24-bit word length-interoperates with diverse SoCs, DSPs, and legacy audio processors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital interpolation filter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CIRRUS LOGIC CS8416-CQZ | SDIF-2/SPDIF receiver with integrated 8× interpolator; no on-chip oscillator; requires external clock; 20-bit max resolution. | Designed for direct digital input reception-not optimized as standalone filter for DAC-feeding applications. | Choose when SPDIF/AES3 input interface is mandatory and system already includes clock generation; avoid when replacing DF1704E/2KG4 in PCM1704-based designs. |
| AKM AK4128VN | 24-bit, 192 kHz-capable digital filter with I²S-only interface; no hardware mode; no de-emphasis; higher power (40 mA). | Targets modern high-res audio (192 kHz), lacks CD-specific de-emphasis and pin-strapped configuration. | Choose for new 192 kHz designs requiring software-only control; not suitable for drop-in replacement where de-emphasis or hardware mode is required. |
Compared with CS8416-CQZ and AK4128VN, DF1704E/2KG4 uniquely combines on-chip oscillator, hardware/software dual-mode control, CD-standard de-emphasis, and ultra-low-passband ripple-making it irreplaceable in legacy high-fidelity DAC architectures built around PCM1704.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the DF1704E/2KG4 in an audio system?
The DF1704E/2KG4 is a dedicated 8× oversampling digital interpolation filter IC that prepares digital audio data for high-resolution DAC conversion. Its core function is to increase sample rate, suppress imaging artifacts with –115 dB stopband attenuation, and provide format translation-ensuring optimal signal integrity before the PCM1704 or similar DAC. DF1704E/2KG4 does not perform D/A conversion itself but is essential for achieving published DAC performance.
Does the DF1704E/2KG4 require an external crystal, or can it operate with its internal oscillator?
The DF1704E/2KG4 integrates a crystal oscillator circuit and can operate with an external fundamental-mode crystal connected between XTI and XTO pins-supporting frequencies up to 24.576 MHz. It does not contain a fully self-contained oscillator; an external crystal is required for oscillator mode. Alternatively, a clean external clock may be applied directly to XTI, bypassing the crystal.
Can the DF1704E/2KG4 be used with sampling rates other than 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz?
Yes, the DF1704E/2KG4 supports sampling rates from 32 kHz to 96 kHz, including 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, and 96 kHz. De-emphasis is only active at 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, and 48 kHz per datasheet specification; however, full interpolation filtering, format translation, and attenuation functions remain fully operational at 96 kHz.
How does the hardware mode (MODE = L) differ from software mode (MODE = H) in DF1704E/2KG4 configuration?
In hardware mode (MODE = L), configuration is set via dedicated pins (I2S, IW0/IW1, OW0/OW1, SRO, DEM, etc.), enabling fixed-function operation without microcontroller involvement. In software mode (MODE = H), four internal registers (MODE0–MODE3) are programmed via a 3-wire serial interface (ML/MC/MD), allowing dynamic runtime reconfiguration. DF1704E/2KG4 supports both-hardware mode suits cost-sensitive fixed designs; software mode enables feature-rich, firmware-upgradable systems.
Is the DF1704E/2KG4 pin-compatible with other members of the DF17xx family?
No, the DF1704E/2KG4 is not pin-compatible with other DF17xx variants such as DF1702 or DF1708. Each device has distinct pin assignments, register maps, and feature sets. The DF1704E/2KG4 specifically implements 24-bit/96 kHz capability with sharp/slow roll-off selection and on-chip oscillator support-features not shared across the entire family. Always verify pinout and electrical characteristics against the specific part number's datasheet.
