NXIAVA2

Description

The first IC to contain the i2Dclass technology- samples and volume quantities available now.

Features:

  • QFN32 (0.4mm pitch) 48MHz 3v3 IO compatible
  • I2S 2 channels up to 192KHz, 32bit
  • SPDIF/AES3 up to 96kSps
  • Auto switching from SPDIF to I2S (SPDIF when no I2S detected)
  • Rotary encoder volume control, can default to either -30dB or full volume at power up
  • 2 channels- 24bit 24mA complementary output capable of driving either analogue or digital output stages directly.
  • OCP built in option- works with any bridge.
  • 2us DAC group delay, 25us total (including 96ksps serial input and 50kHz 2 pole LPF).
  • >113dB SNR, <0.004% THD (linear filter), <0.005% THD (D-class output, 8ohm, 54V).
  • Output carrier <520kHz (below AM band)
  • <20mW power consumption.
  • Full differential frequency spreading for reduced EMI.
