Product details
Overview
PCM2706PJTR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit stereo audio DAC with integrated USB 1.1 full-speed interface, S/PDIF output, and single-ended headphone amplifier. It supports 32/44.1/48 kHz sampling rates, operates from 5 V (bus-powered) or 3.3 V (self-powered), and delivers 12 mW into 32 Ω with THD+N of 0.025% - enabling compact USB audio endpoints like desktop speakers and CRT/LCD monitors.
For engineers reviewing the PCM2706PJTR datasheet, PCM2706PJTR pinout, PCM2706PJTR application, or PCM2706PJTR equivalent, key selection criteria include its SpAct™ clock recovery architecture, I2S/S/PDIF dual-output flexibility via FSEL control, bus/self-power configuration, and 32-pin TQFP package with dedicated analog/digital ground separation for low-noise audio playback.
Technical Context
The PCM2706PJTR integrates a USB protocol controller compliant with USB 1.1, eliminating need for custom device drivers. Its SpAct™ architecture recovers audio clock directly from USB isochronous packet timing, feeding an on-chip PLL to generate low-jitter 96 MHz master clock for the 16-bit delta-sigma DAC.
It features dual-mode digital output: S/PDIF (FSEL = HIGH) or I2S (FSEL = LOW), with FUNC0–FUNC3 reconfigurable as HID inputs or I2S signals. Power management includes suspend flag (SSPND), HOST detection, and PSEL-driven bus/self-power mode selection - all implemented without external firmware.

Pinout & Package
PCM2706PJTR uses a 32-pin TQFP package (PJT suffix) with exposed thermal pad. Pin layout separates analog (AGNDL, AGNDR, PGND, VCOM), digital (DGND, VDD), and USB (D+, D–) domains to minimize noise coupling in audio signal paths.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUTL / VOUTR | L/R channel analog outputs | Single-ended headphone drive; AC-coupled, 32 Ω load capable; require external series capacitor |
| D+ / D– | USB differential data pair | Full-speed USB 1.1 interface; D+ requires 1.5-kΩ pull-up; no external transceiver needed |
| FSEL | Function select input | LOW = I2S mode (DOUT = data, FUNC0–FUNC3 = clocks/data); HIGH = S/PDIF mode (DOUT = S/PDIF, FUNC0–FUNC3 = HID keys) |
| PSEL | Power source select | LOW = self-powered (3.3 V supplies); HIGH = bus-powered (5 V from VBUS); configures USB descriptor power class |
| HOST | Host detection / max current select | Self-powered: detect USB attach via pulldown to VBUS; bus-powered: set 100 mA (LOW) or 500 mA (HIGH) draw limit |
| SSPND | Suspend flag output | Active-LOW open-drain signal indicating USB suspend state; used for system power gating |
| XTI / XTO | Crytal oscillator input/output | Supports 12 MHz ±500 ppm crystal; internal oscillator eliminates need for external clock generator |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SpAct™ Clock Recovery | Eliminates external PLL and crystal oscillator IC by deriving audio clock directly from USB packet timing - reduces BOM count and jitter-sensitive layout area |

| Integrated Headphone Amplifier | Single-ended 32 Ω drive with 12 mW output and 0.025% THD+N - supports direct connection to headphones without external op-amps |
| USB Descriptor Programmability | Vendor ID, product ID, and strings modifiable via external ROM (PCM2706) - allows OEM branding and USB-IF certification reuse across product variants |
| Multi-HID Function Support | Up to six HID inputs (HID0–HID2, FUNC0–FUNC3) configurable as mute/volume/playback controls - enables feature-rich USB audio peripherals without MCU |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the PCM2706PJTR in a USB audio system?
The PCM2706PJTR serves as a complete USB audio endpoint: it handles USB enumeration, isochronous audio data reception, SpAct™-based clock recovery, 16-bit stereo DAC conversion, analog headphone amplification, and optional S/PDIF or I2S digital output. PCM2706PJTR integrates all functions needed for plug-and-play stereo audio playback without external controllers or clock sources.
Does the PCM2706PJTR require an external crystal oscillator?
No - the PCM2706PJTR includes an on-chip oscillator circuit. It requires only a 12 MHz ±500 ppm crystal connected between XTI (pin 12) and XTO (pin 13), plus appropriate load capacitors. An external clock may be applied to XTI, but XTO must then be left open; however, TI does not recommend this configuration due to lack of clock disable control.
How does the FSEL pin affect the functionality of the PCM2706PJTR?
The FSEL pin (pin 9) selects between two mutually exclusive operating modes: when LOW, PCM2706PJTR configures DOUT as I2S data output and FUNC0–FUNC3 as I2S clocks/data lines; when HIGH, DOUT becomes S/PDIF output and FUNC0–FUNC3 become HID inputs (next track, previous track, stop, play/pause). This pin determines the entire digital interface behavior of PCM2706PJTR.
Can the PCM2706PJTR operate in both bus-powered and self-powered USB configurations?
Yes - PCM2706PJTR supports both configurations. Bus-powered operation uses VBUS (pin 24) as the 5 V supply, while self-powered mode uses 3.3 V on VCCP/VCCL/VCCR/VDD (pins 2, 27, 30, 21). The PSEL pin (pin 16) selects mode and automatically configures the USB descriptor's power attributes and maximum current draw accordingly.
What are the analog output specifications of the PCM2706PJTR when driving headphones?
PCM2706PJTR delivers 12 mW per channel into 32 Ω loads at 0 dBFS with THD+N of 0.025% (bus-powered) or 0.006% (self-powered, RL > 10 kΩ). Outputs VOUTL and VOUTR are single-ended, DC-biased at VCCP/2, and require AC-coupling capacitors. The integrated analog LPF provides –0.1 dB flatness up to 20 kHz.
