Product details
Overview
PCM3008T/2K from Texas Instruments is a low-power, single-ended 16-bit stereo audio codec IC with integrated delta-sigma ADC and DAC, THD+N of –84 dB (ADC) and –88 dB (DAC), SNR of 88 dB and 92 dB respectively, and operation from 2.1 V to 3.6 V. It serves as the analog front-end interface in portable digital audio systems requiring compact, cost-effective stereo conversion.
For engineers reviewing the PCM3008T/2K datasheet, PCM3008T/2K pinout, PCM3008T/2K application, or PCM3008T/2K equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16-pin TSSOP package, independent ADC/DAC power-down control, 8–48 kHz sampling rate support, and pop-noise-free muting for battery-powered consumer devices.
Technical Context
The PCM3008T/2K implements dual 5th-order delta-sigma modulation: 64× oversampling for ADC with decimation + digital high-pass filtering, and 8× oversampling for DAC with interpolation + de-emphasis filtering. Its digital audio interface supports left-justified ADC input and right-justified DAC output at 16-bit resolution.
System clock inputs (SYSCK) accept 256fS, 384fS, or 512fS frequencies; LRCK and BCK are synchronized to SYSCK, with automatic clock mode detection. Power-down control via PDAD and PDDA pins enables independent ADC/DAC shutdown with zero-code DOUT and VCOM-biased VOUT outputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit ADC and DAC - ensures CD-quality dynamic range without external dithering |
| THD+N (ADC) | –84 dB at –0.5 dBFS - meets fidelity requirements for portable MD players and digital camcorders |
| THD+N (DAC) | –88 dB at 0 dBFS - delivers clean playback with minimal harmonic distortion in headphone outputs |
| Sampling Rate | 8–48 kHz - supports voice recording, telephony, and standard audio playback without resampling |
| Supply Voltage | 2.1 V to 3.6 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion or dual-cell alkaline battery rails |
| Power Dissipation | 32 mW at VCC = 2.4 V - enables >10-hour runtime in portable systems with active audio I/O |
| Digital Interface | Left-justified ADC / right-justified DAC - simplifies connection to TI C5000/C6000 DSPs and ARM-based audio SoCs |
Pinout & Package
PCM3008T/2K is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package (JEDEC MO-153, TI drawing ZZ363), with 0.65 mm pitch and exposed pad not electrically connected. Thermal resistance θJA is 150°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VINL / VINR | ADC analog input (L/R channel) | Single-ended voltage inputs referenced to VCOM; 30 kΩ input impedance enables direct coupling from line-level sources |
| VOUTL / VOUTR | DAC analog output (L/R channel) | Single-ended voltage outputs centered at VCOM; require external AC-coupling capacitors per TI layout guidelines |
| VCOM | Common-mode reference | 0.5 × VCC bias node for ADC/DAC; must be decoupled to GND with 0.1 µF + 1 µF capacitors |
| DIN / DOUT | Serial data I/O | PCM-format bidirectional data lines; support MSB-first, frame-synced transfers with LRCK/BCK timing |
| PDAD / PDDA | Power-down control | Active-low independent enable/disable for ADC and DAC; asserts pop-noise-free muting during transitions |
| DEM0 / DEM1 | De-emphasis selection | Two-pin binary control for 32/44.1/48 kHz de-emphasis or disable - matches legacy CD playback standards |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pop-noise free muting | Fade-in/fade-out implemented in digital domain and analog VOUT control circuit - eliminates audible transients during power cycling |
| Integrated anti-aliasing & LPF | On-chip analog filters eliminate need for external RC networks; 150 kHz ADC stopband, 250 kHz DAC –3 dB point |
| Digital high-pass filter (HPF) | DC-blocking HPF embedded in ADC decimation path - removes offset drift without external components |
| Independent power-down modes | ADC-only, DAC-only, or full shutdown with <50 µA quiescent current - extends battery life in asymmetric audio workflows |
| 3.3 V-tolerant digital I/O | All control pins (DEM0/DEM1/PDAD/PDDA/LRCK/BCK/SYSCK/DIN/DOUT) accept 3.3 V logic levels - simplifies interfacing with mixed-voltage SoCs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar stereo audio codec applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AK4531VN | 24-bit resolution, higher SNR (100 dB), but requires 4.5–5.5 V supply and lacks integrated de-emphasis | Better suited for professional-grade recording; incompatible with 2.4 V battery rails | Select AK4531VN only if resolution and SNR outweigh voltage constraints and external de-emphasis circuitry |
| CS4272-CQZ | 24-bit, 192 kHz capable, SPI/I²C configuration interface, but larger 28-pin SSOP package and 3.3 V minimum supply | Targets higher-end portable audio with programmable features; not drop-in for space-limited TSSOP layouts | Choose CS4272-CQZ when system requires flexible sample rate support and software-configurable filters |
Compared with AK4531VN and CS4272-CQZ, PCM3008T/2K offers optimal trade-off of 16-bit fidelity, ultra-low 2.1–3.6 V operation, TSSOP footprint, and hardware-deemphasis - making it uniquely suitable for cost-sensitive, battery-powered consumer audio where simplicity and size dominate.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for PCM3008T/2K?
The PCM3008T/2K is specified for operation from –25°C to +85°C when sampling at >24 kHz, and from –25°C to +70°C at lower sampling rates. This range supports deployment in consumer portable devices such as digital camcorders and handheld audio players exposed to ambient environmental variations without thermal derating.
Does PCM3008T/2K support I²S interface format?
No, PCM3008T/2K does not support I²S. It uses a proprietary PCM interface with left-justified format for ADC input and right-justified format for DAC output, synchronized via LRCK, BCK, and SYSCK. External logic or MCU firmware must handle format translation if interfacing with I²S-only controllers.
How is de-emphasis configured on PCM3008T/2K?
De-emphasis on PCM3008T/2K is controlled by DEM0 and DEM1 pins: Low/Low enables 44.1 kHz, High/High enables 32 kHz, High/Low enables 48 kHz, and Low/High disables de-emphasis. These are static hardware-select pins - no register writes or serial commands are required.
What is the purpose of the VCOM pin on PCM3008T/2K?
VCOM on PCM3008T/2K provides the 0.5 × VCC common-mode reference voltage for both ADC and DAC sections. It must be decoupled to GND with a 0.1 µF ceramic and ≥1 µF electrolytic capacitor placed adjacent to the pin to maintain analog performance and suppress dynamic errors during signal conversion.
Can PCM3008T/2K operate with a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, PCM3008T/2K operates across 2.1 V to 3.6 V, so 3.3 V is fully supported. At 3.3 V, THD+N improves slightly (e.g., –85 dB ADC), and supply current increases to ~22 mA (ADC+DAC active), remaining well within absolute maximum ratings and typical application margins.
