Product details
Overview
UDA1380TT/N2,518 from NXP Semiconductors is a 24-bit stereo audio coder-decoder IC designed for MD, CD, and MP3 playback/recording systems. It integrates dual-path ADC (8–55 kHz) and DAC (8–100 kHz), programmable gain amplifiers (PGA: 0–24 dB), low-noise microphone amplifier (LNA: +29 dB fixed, VGA: 0–30 dB), and a 16 Ω-capable headphone driver with short-circuit protection. It supports I²S, MSB-justified, and LSB-justified digital interfaces in portable audio players.
For engineers reviewing the UDA1380TT/N2,518 datasheet, UDA1380TT/N2,518 pinout, UDA1380TT/N2,518 application, or UDA1380TT/N2,518 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications including dual-clock domain operation (SYSCLK/WSPLL), L3-bus and I²C-bus control, AGC-enabled voice recording, de-emphasis at 32/44.1/48/96 kHz, and DC-coupled headphone output via VREF(HP).
Technical Context
The UDA1380TT/N2,518 implements independent clock domains: SYSCLK (256fs/384fs/512fs/768fs) for system-synchronous operation and WSPLL (locking to WSI input) for asynchronous sample-rate conversion between ADC and DAC paths. It supports mixed-mode operation - e.g., ADC running on SYSCLK while DAC runs on regenerated WSPLL clocks - enabling flexible integration with diverse host controllers.
Its analog front-end includes stereo line inputs with PGA (12 kΩ input impedance), mono mic input with LNA+VGA (5 kΩ), and integrated high-pass DC cancellation. The digital signal path features decimation (128fs → fs) with AGC and interpolation (fs → 128fs) with 5th-order noise shaping, cosine soft mute, and independent left/right tone control (bass boost up to 24 dB, treble up to 6 dB).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.4–3.6 V analog/digital; 5 V tolerant digital inputs enable direct interfacing with 5 V microcontrollers. |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| WSPLL-based asynchronous sample-rate conversion | Allows DAC playback at 96 kHz while ADC records at 48 kHz - critical for simultaneous record/playback in MP3 players. |
| Digital silence detection | Hardware flag indicates silent periods in playback stream; enables automatic power-down of downstream amplifiers to extend battery life. |
Applications
| MiniDisc (MD) Recorder | CD Player with Line-In Recording |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Portable MD recorder capturing live audio from microphone or line source with real-time compression. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Audio codec performing ADC (mic/line), AGC, digital filtering, and I²S output to MP3 encoder ASIC. Use Value: Integrated LNA+VGA and AGC ensure consistent recording level across varying speaker distances; 24-bit resolution preserves dynamic range for post-processing. |
Use Scenario: CD player with auxiliary line-in recording function, allowing analog source digitization to internal memory. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-role codec: DAC path plays CD audio; ADC path digitizes line input at matched sampling rate (44.1 kHz) with PGA gain calibration. Use Value: Shared I²S interface and synchronized SYSCLK/WSPLL enable zero-jitter sample alignment between playback and record paths. |
| MP3 Player with Mic Input | Portable FM Radio Recorder |
Use Scenario: Battery-powered MP3 player recording voice memos or interviews using built-in electret microphone. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power ADC subsystem (mic → LNA → VGA → decimator → AGC → I²S) operating at 8–16 kHz for speech bandwidth. Use Value: Sub-2 μA power-down current and selective block shutdown (e.g., DAC off during recording) maximize battery runtime. |
Use Scenario: FM radio module adding voice annotation or station logging via analog FM tuner output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Analog passthrough mode: FM audio routed through PGA → headphone driver/line output without ADC/DAC conversion. Use Value: Hardware bypass path avoids unnecessary quantization noise and latency; volume/tone controls remain active for analog signal conditioning. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar stereo audio codec applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AK4552VN | 24-bit stereo codec with 96 kHz DAC, but no integrated AGC or LNA; requires external mic bias and gain stages. | Lacks single-chip mic recording capability; suitable only when external analog front-end is already present. | Select AK4552VN if system uses dedicated mic preamp and prioritizes lower THD+N (−90 dB) over integrated recording features. |
| TLV320AIC23BPW | 3.3 V only (no 5 V tolerant I/O); supports 96 kHz ADC/DAC; includes stereo headphone amp but no DC-coupled output option. | Requires external DC-blocking caps for headphones; lacks VREF(HP) pin, increasing component count in portable designs. | Choose TLV320AIC23BPW when I²C-only control suffices and board layout allows space for coupling capacitors. |
Compared with AK4552VN and TLV320AIC23BPW, the UDA1380TT/N2,518 uniquely integrates LNA+VGA, AGC, DC-coupled headphone drive, and dual-bus (L3/I²C) compatibility - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained MD/MP3 recorders requiring minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling frequency supported by the ADC in UDA1380TT/N2,518?
The ADC in UDA1380TT/N2,518 supports sampling frequencies from 8 kHz to 55 kHz. It does not support 96 kHz - that rate is specified only for the DAC path. This limitation is explicitly stated in the datasheet under "General" features and Quick Reference Data, confirming DVD-Audio recording is not supported.
Does UDA1380TT/N2,518 support DC-coupled headphone output, and how is it implemented?
Yes, UDA1380TT/N2,518 supports DC-coupled headphone output via the VREF(HP) pin, which provides a stable bias voltage for direct connection to 16 Ω headphones. This eliminates the need for external DC-blocking capacitors, reducing component count and PCB area - a key advantage for portable audio designs.
Can UDA1380TT/N2,518 operate with both L3-bus and I²C-bus interfaces simultaneously?
No, UDA1380TT/N2,518 cannot use L3-bus and I²C-bus simultaneously. The SEL_L3_IIC pin selects one interface mode at power-up. When set high, it enables I²C-bus (SDA/SCL); when low, it enables L3-bus (L3DATA/L3CLOCK/L3MODE). Both protocols share the same physical pins but require exclusive hardware configuration.
What is the purpose of the WSPLL in UDA1380TT/N2,518, and when is it required?
The WSPLL in UDA1380TT/N2,518 regenerates internal clocks (128fs, 256fs) from the WSI word-select input, enabling asynchronous operation between ADC and DAC paths. It is required when the DAC must run at a different sampling frequency than the ADC - for example, playing back 96 kHz audio while recording at 48 kHz - without requiring a second crystal oscillator.
How does the AGC function in UDA1380TT/N2,518 interact with the digital volume control?
When AGC is enabled in UDA1380TT/N2,518, it bypasses the digital volume control in the decimator path. The AGC dynamically adjusts gain to maintain constant output level, using configurable attack/decay timing and target level settings accessible via L3-bus or I²C-bus registers - ensuring robust voice recording under varying acoustic conditions.
