Product details
Overview
PCM3006TG from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit stereo audio codec IC integrating monolithic delta-sigma ADC and DAC with single-ended analog voltage I/O, 64× oversampling (ADC), 8× oversampling (DAC), THD+N of –84 dB, SNR of 89 dB (ADC) / 93 dB (DAC), and operation on a single 3-V supply in a 24-pin TSSOP package for consumer-grade audio recording and playback systems.
For engineers reviewing the PCM3006TG datasheet, PCM3006TG pinout, PCM3006TG application, or PCM3006TG equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed stereo audio interface timing, real-world power-down behavior, and documented de-emphasis mode selection - all critical for embedded audio subsystem design and BOM validation.
Technical Context
The PCM3006TG implements dual independent delta-sigma modulation paths: left/right ADCs use 64× oversampling with digital decimation and high-pass filtering, while DACs employ 8× oversampling with interpolation, digital de-emphasis, and analog low-pass output buffering. All digital audio I/O uses MSB-first format - left-justified for ADC, right-justified for DAC - synchronized to LRCIN/BCKIN/SYSCLK.
It supports three system clock modes (256 fS, 384 fS, 512 fS) with automatic clock detection and internal division to 256 fS for filter/modulator operation. Power-down is independently controllable per ADC (PDAD) and DAC (PDDA), with defined reset recovery delays (18432/fS for ADC, 16384/fS for DAC) and forced-zero digital/analog outputs during assertion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit ADC and DAC - enables CD-quality audio digitization and playback without external quantization loss. |
| Sampling Rate | 4–48 kHz - covers voice recording (4–8 kHz), telephony (8 kHz), and full-bandwidth audio (44.1/48 kHz). |
| THD+N | –84 dB at –0.5 dBFS - defines maximum harmonic distortion + noise floor for clean analog signal reconstruction. |
| SNR | 89 dB (ADC), 93 dB (DAC) - sets dynamic range limit for discernible signal vs. quantization noise floor. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.6 V - ensures compatibility with single-cell Li-ion or regulated 3.3-V rails in portable systems. |
| Power Dissipation | 72 mW (ADC+DAC active), 150 µW (power-down) - enables battery-operated designs with thermal headroom. |
| Digital Interface | 4-wire serial (LRCIN/BCKIN/DIN/DOUT), MSB-first - eliminates need for external framing logic or FIFO buffers. |
Pinout & Package
PCM3006TG is housed in a 24-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP) with 0.65-mm pitch, optimized for compact PCB layout and thermal performance (θJA = 100°C/W). Pin assignments are fully validated per TI SBAS089A datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VINL, VINR | ADC analog inputs (L/R) | Single-ended 30-kΩ input impedance; accepts ±0.9 Vp-p full-scale at 3-V supply. |
| VOUTL, VOUTR | DAC analog outputs (L/R) | Single-ended buffered outputs; 0.6 VCC p-p swing centered at 0.5 VCC; requires AC coupling. |
| LRCIN, BCKIN, DIN, DOUT | Digital audio interface | MSB-first, left-justified ADC input / right-justified DAC output; Schmitt-trigger inputs with 100-kΩ pulldown. |
| PDAD, PDDA | Power-down controls | Active-low independent enable: PDAD halts ADC and forces DOUT = 0; PDDA halts DAC and forces VOUT = GND. |
| DEM0, DEM1 | De-emphasis mode select | Two-bit encoding selects 32/44.1/48 kHz de-emphasis or OFF - required for legacy CD playback compliance. |
| SYSCLK | System clock input | Accepts 8.192–24.576 MHz (256/384/512 × fS); auto-detects and divides internally to 256 fS. |
| VCC1, VCC2, VDD | Power supplies | VCC1/VCC2 = ADC/DAC analog supplies (2.7–3.6 V); VDD = digital supply (same range); AGND/DGND separated but externally tied. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent ADC/DAC power-down | Reduces total supply current to 50 µA - extends battery life in portable recorders during standby. |
| Digital de-emphasis control | Hardware-selectable 32/44.1/48 kHz response via DEM[1:0] pins - eliminates need for host CPU intervention during CD playback. |
| Integrated analog filters | On-chip antialiasing (–3 dB @ 150 kHz) and LPF (–0.16 dB @ 20 kHz) - removes external passive components and layout sensitivity. |
| High-precision reference architecture | Dual VREF1/VREF2 pins with 4.7-µF bypassing - stabilizes ADC gain accuracy to ±2% FSR and drift to ±20 ppm/°C. |
| Robust clock synchronization | Automatic resynchronization after ≤6-BCKIN phase jitter; DAC/ADC recover within 32/fS - prevents audible dropouts in noisy clock environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar stereo audio codec applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCM3008T | Same pinout, adds hardware volume control and mute; higher supply current (28 mA vs. 24 mA active). | Required where analog output level adjustment is needed without external DAC or amplifier. | Select PCM3008T only if volume control is mandatory; otherwise PCM3006TG offers lower cost and identical core performance. |
| AK4531VN | Different pinout (28-QFN); supports 24-bit resolution and 96 kHz sampling; requires separate 1.8-V digital rail. | Suitable for higher-fidelity applications needing extended dynamic range (>100 dB) and wider bandwidth. | Choose AK4531VN when upgrading beyond CD-quality specs; avoid for drop-in replacement due to incompatible package and power architecture. |
Compared with PCM3008T and AK4531VN, PCM3006TG delivers optimal cost/performance balance for 16-bit/48 kHz consumer audio - retaining full feature parity with PCM3008T except volume control, while avoiding the layout redesign and dual-rail complexity of AK4531VN.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling frequency supported by the PCM3006TG?
The PCM3006TG supports a maximum sampling frequency of 48 kHz, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (fS = 4–48 kHz). At 48 kHz, the required system clock is 24.576 MHz (512 × fS), and the device maintains specified THD+N (–84 dB) and SNR (89 dB ADC / 93 dB DAC) performance across the full temperature range (–25°C to 85°C).
Does the PCM3006TG require separate analog and digital ground planes?
No - although the PCM3006TG has separate AGND and DGND pins, TI's Application Information explicitly recommends tying all ground pins to a single analog ground plane using low-impedance connections. This avoids coupling digital switching noise into analog paths and optimizes dynamic performance; internal isolation is not intended for split-plane layouts.
How does the PCM3006TG handle de-emphasis for CD playback?
The PCM3006TG implements hardware-controlled de-emphasis via DEM0 and DEM1 pins. When configured as Low/Low, it applies 44.1 kHz de-emphasis; High/High selects 32 kHz; High/Low selects 48 kHz; Low/High disables it. This matches standard CD pre-emphasis curves and operates entirely within the DAC digital filter path - no host software involvement is needed for compliant playback.
What happens to analog outputs during DAC power-down (PDDA = LOW)?
When PDDA is pulled LOW, the PCM3006TG forces both VOUTL and VOUTR to GND (0 V) - not to VCOM or mid-supply. This is explicitly documented in the Operational Control section and Figure 37. The outputs remain at GND until PDDA is released HIGH, after which they ramp to 0.5 VCC over t(DACDLY1) = 16384/fS (e.g., ~340 ms at 48 kHz) to prevent click/pop artifacts.
Can the PCM3006TG operate from a 2.4-V supply?
Yes - the PCM3006TG supports 2.4 V minimum supply voltage, but only within the 0°C to 70°C temperature range and exclusively with 256 fS or 512 fS system clock modes (384 fS is not available at 2.4 V). At 2.4 V, typical THD+N degrades to –77 dB and SNR to 84 dB, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "0°C to 70°C" conditions.
