Product Overview

PCM5122 is a Texas Instruments Signal_Chain stereo audio DAC in a TSSOP (28) package with 9.7 mm x 4.4 mm nominal body size. The device supports PCM audio sampling frequencies from 8 kHz to 384 kHz and audio input data widths of 16, 20, 24, and 32 bits. Its digital audio interface supports I2S, left-justified, right-justified, and TDM/DSP data formats.

For PCM5122A, the extracted specifications list 112 dB dynamic range, 112 dB signal-to-noise ratio, and -93 dB THD. THD+N is specified as -93 dB at -1 dBFS for PCM5122 with a 3.3-V power supply. The ground-centered single-ended output is specified at 2.1 VRMS with a 3.3-V power supply, and the integrated line driver supports a minimum 1 kΩ load.

Configuration can be handled through software or hardware modes, with SPI or I2C available in software control mode. The device uses 3.3 V AVDD, 1.8 V or 3.3 V DVDD, 3.3 V CPVDD, a -3.3 V negative charge-pump rail, and a 1.8 V internal logic supply rail. Applications include stereo PCM audio conversion, audio line-driver stages, and systems requiring selectable hardwired gain settings.
