Product details
Overview
PCM3002E/2K from Texas Instruments is a 20-bit stereo audio codec IC integrating monolithic delta-sigma ADC and DAC with single-ended analog input/output, 64× oversampling, software-controlled mode, and digital attenuation (256 steps) in a 24-pin SSOP package. It operates from a single 3-V supply and supports I²S, left-justified, and right-justified audio data formats for portable audio systems.
For engineers reviewing the PCM3002E/2K datasheet, PCM3002E/2K pinout, PCM3002E/2K application, or PCM3002E/2K equivalent, key selection criteria include THD+N (–86 dB), SNR (90 dB ADC / 94 dB DAC), independent ADC/DAC power-down, digital de-emphasis at 32/44.1/48 kHz, and support for sampling rates from 4 kHz to 48 kHz.
Technical Context
The PCM3002E/2K implements a dual-path delta-sigma architecture: the ADC uses 64× oversampling with digital decimation and high-pass filtering for offset cancellation, while the DAC employs 8× oversampling with interpolation, analog low-pass filtering, soft mute, and infinite zero detection. All digital processing-including format selection (four modes), attenuation, and de-emphasis-is controlled via serial software interface using MC/MD/ML pins.
It features Schmitt-trigger digital inputs (RST, ML, MD, MC, SYSCLK, LRCIN, BCKIN, DIN) with internal 100-kΩ pulldown resistors, open-drain ZFLG output, and separate analog/digital ground and supply domains (VCC1/VCC2/AGND1/AGND2/VDD/DGND) to minimize noise coupling between ADC and DAC sections.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar stereo audio codec applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCM3003E/2K | Hardware-controlled (DEM0/DEM1/PDAD/PDDA pins); no software interface or ZFLG; fixed 20BIT format select | Targeted at cost-sensitive DSCs where firmware simplicity outweighs configurability needs | Select PCM3003E/2K only if register programming is unnecessary and de-emphasis/power-down must be pin-strapped |
| TLV320AIC23BPW | Higher integration: built-in headphone amp, PLL, and MIC bias; 96 dB SNR; SPI/I²C interface; 28-pin TSSOP | Better suited for designs requiring direct headphone drive or clock synthesis without external oscillator | Choose TLV320AIC23BPW when system-level integration (e.g., Class AB amp, PLL) justifies larger footprint and higher BOM cost |
Compared with PCM3003E/2K, PCM3002E/2K offers software configurability and zero-flag signaling at the cost of additional control lines; versus TLV320AIC23BPW, it trades headphone drive and PLL for lower power and smaller SSOP-24 footprint-ideal for space-constrained, firmware-flexible audio subsystems.

FAQ
What audio data formats does the PCM3002E/2K support?
The PCM3002E/2K supports four software-selectable audio data formats: I²S, left-justified, right-justified, and a custom format-configured via its three-wire serial mode control interface (ML/MD/MC pins). This flexibility enables seamless integration with diverse host processors without hardware redesign.
Does the PCM3002E/2K require external anti-aliasing or reconstruction filters?
No. The PCM3002E/2K integrates a switched-capacitor antialiasing filter (–3 dB at 150 kHz) for the ADC and an analog low-pass filter for the DAC (–0.16 dB at 20 kHz). These on-chip filters meet standard audio band requirements, eliminating the need for external passive components in most portable applications.
How does the zero-flag (ZFLG) output function in the PCM3002E/2K?
ZFLG is an open-drain output that asserts low when the PCM3002E/2K's DAC or ADC output reaches bipolar zero (0.5 × VCC). It enables glitch-free mute/unmute transitions and real-time monitoring of signal quiescence-critical for voice activity detection and power-state synchronization in battery-powered devices.
What is the minimum system clock frequency supported by the PCM3002E/2K?
The PCM3002E/2K supports system clock frequencies of 256 fS, 384 fS, or 512 fS. At the lowest sampling rate of 4 kHz, the minimum system clock is 256 × 4 kHz = 1.024 MHz. The device automatically detects and divides higher clocks (384 fS/512 fS) down to 256 fS for internal digital filter operation.
Can the PCM3002E/2K operate from a 2.5-V supply?
Yes. The PCM3002E/2K operates across 2.7 V to 3.6 V per absolute maximum ratings, but TI specifies 2.4 V to 2.7 V operation only for 0°C to 70°C ambient and 256 fS/512 fS clocking (384 fS not available). At 2.5 V, performance remains within spec: THD+N and SNR degrade <0.5 dB, and supply current scales linearly.
