Product details
Overview
SSM2604CPZ-R2 from Analog Devices is a low-power, 24-bit stereo audio codec IC with integrated ADC and DAC, programmable gain line inputs, and digital audio interface supporting I²S, left/right-justified, DSP, and USB modes. It operates from 1.5 V/1.8 V supplies, delivers 100 dB DAC SNR (A-weighted) at 3.3 V, and targets portable audio systems requiring high fidelity and battery efficiency.
For engineers reviewing the SSM2604CPZ-R2 datasheet, SSM2604CPZ-R2 pinout, SSM2604CPZ-R2 application, or SSM2604CPZ-R2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-lead LFCSP package, dual 24-bit Σ-Δ converters, 8–96 kHz sampling rate support, I²C control interface, and −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The SSM2604CPZ-R2 implements oversampling Σ-Δ architecture for both ADC and DAC paths, with configurable digital filters optimized per sampling rate (8–96 kHz). It supports master/slave clocking via MCLK/XTI input or internal crystal oscillator (12.288 MHz or 24.576 MHz), and offers selectable core clock division (÷1 or ÷2) via CLKDIV2 bit.
Digital audio interface supports four protocols (I²S, left/right-justified, DSP, PCM) with MSB-first, 16–32-bit word length, and frame synchronization via PBLRC/RECLRC. Control is handled through a 2-wire I²C interface (device address 0x32), with register-mapped configuration of volume, bypass, power management, and de-emphasis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| DAC SNR (A-weighted) | 100 dB at 3.3 V - enables high-fidelity playback with minimal audible noise floor in portable line-out applications |
| ADC SNR (A-weighted) | 90 dB at 3.3 V - supports clean recording from line-level sources without significant quantization noise |
| Power consumption | 7 mW stereo playback (1.8 V/1.5 V) - extends battery life in MP3 players and mobile handsets |

Pinout & Package
SSM2604CPZ-R2 is housed in a 20-lead, 4 mm × 4 mm lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP) with exposed thermal pad connected to PCB ground. Pin 1 is marked by dot; Pin 20 is NC; center thermal pad must be soldered to ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| MCLK/XTI | Master clock input / crystal oscillator input | Accepts external clock (≤13.8 MHz, <50 ps jitter) or drives crystal (12.288/24.576 MHz); enables system clock source flexibility |
| XTO | Crystal oscillator output | Completes on-chip oscillator circuit when crystal is connected between MCLK/XTI and XTO |
| BCLK | Digital audio bit clock | I/O pin synchronized to audio data stream; frequency ≥ sampling rate × word length × 2 (e.g., ≥2.048 MHz at 32 kHz/32-bit) |
| PBDAT | DAC data input (playback) | Receives time-multiplexed left/right digital audio samples in selected format (I²S, left-justified, etc.) |
| RECDAT | ADC data output (record) | Outputs processed digital audio from ADC filters; synchronous to RECLRC and BCLK |
| LLINEIN / RLINEIN | Stereo line input (analog) | Single-ended inputs biased to VMID; support PGA gain adjustment and optional high-pass filtering |
| LOUT / ROUT | Stereo line output (analog) | Fixed-gain outputs capable of driving 10 kΩ || 50 pF; held at VMID during standby to prevent pop/click |
| VMID | Midrail voltage reference | Internal bias point (AVDD/2) used for analog input/output DC coupling; requires 4.7 µF decoupling capacitor |
| SDIN / SCLK | I²C control interface | 2-wire serial interface (address 0x32) for configuring registers including volume, format, sampling rate, and power states |
| AVDD / DVDD | Analog/digital supply | Independent 1.8–3.6 V (AVDD) and 1.5–3.6 V (DVDD) rails enable mixed-voltage system integration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 24-bit stereo ADC + DAC | Simultaneous high-resolution conversion enables full-duplex audio processing without external converters |
| Programmable gain amplifier (PGA) | −34.5 dB to +33 dB in 1.5 dB steps per channel - adapts to diverse line-input signal levels while preserving dynamic range |
| Digital de-emphasis | Configurable per sampling rate (32/44.1/48 kHz) to correct pre-emphasized CD/DVD source material |
| ADC high-pass filter | Removes DC offset automatically (corner: 3.7–21.6 Hz) - eliminates speaker thump and improves ADC headroom |
| Bypass path | Direct analog routing from LLINEIN/RLINEIN to LOUT/ROUT - enables zero-latency monitoring without digital conversion |

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required for SSM2604CPZ-R2 analog and digital domains?
The SSM2604CPZ-R2 requires AVDD ≥ 1.8 V for analog circuitry and DVDD ≥ 1.5 V for digital circuitry. Both rails can operate up to 3.6 V. Operation below these minima risks functional failure or undefined behavior, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions tables.
Does SSM2604CPZ-R2 support crystal oscillator operation, and what frequencies are compatible?
Yes, the SSM2604CPZ-R2 supports crystal oscillator operation via MCLK/XTI and XTO pins. Compatible frequencies include 12.288 MHz (for 48 kHz-based systems) and 24.576 MHz (for 96 kHz-based systems), as specified in the General Description and Timing Characteristics sections.
How does the bypass path function in SSM2604CPZ-R2, and when is it useful?
The bypass path in SSM2604CPZ-R2 routes analog line inputs directly to line outputs without ADC/DAC conversion, enabled via the BYPASS bit (Register R4, Bit D3). It is useful for zero-latency monitoring, analog pass-through applications, or reducing power when digital processing is unnecessary.
What digital audio interface formats does SSM2604CPZ-R2 support, and how are they selected?
The SSM2604CPZ-R2 supports I²S, left-justified, right-justified, and DSP/PCM modes. Format selection is performed by writing to the FORMAT bits (Register R7, Bits D1–D0), with all modes operating MSB-first and supporting 16–32-bit word lengths.
Can SSM2604CPZ-R2 operate in USB audio class mode, and what clocking is required?
Yes, the SSM2604CPZ-R2 supports USB audio mode via the USB bit (Register R8, Bit D0), enabling compatibility with standard USB clock rates of 12 MHz or 24 MHz (when CLKDIV2 is set). This mode maintains full 8–96 kHz sampling rate support without external clock synthesis.
