PCM1716E/2KG4

PCM1716E/2KG4 Application Field and Working PrincipleThe PCM1716E/2KG4 is an integrated 16-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) device designed for professional audio applications. This chip has become the staple for many high-end audio systems due to its superior sound quality, low noise and distortion performance. In addition, the device features an on-chip voltage reference, allowing adjustable output voltage range.

The PCM1716E/2KG4 is a monolithic integrated circuit (IC) device with a built-in delta-sigma DAC modulator. The device is capable of reproducing both CD and FHD Audio formats, as well as being compliant with the new European Hi-Res audio standard. As a result, the sound quality produced by the device is extremely high, and is capable of delivering up to 16-bits of resolution and accuracy.

The device operates off a 5-volt or a 3.3-volt supply voltage. It requires a single +12.0V supply for the on-chip reference, and can be operated with a supply voltage range of 3.0V to 5.5V. Internally, the PCM1716E/2KG4 integrates a low-noise voltage reference, a differential input amplifier and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) module. The differential input amplifier features high performance and low noise, thereby allowing a low harmonic distortion of 0.003% at full scale.

The PCM1716E/2KG4 is suitable for high-end audio systems, where high-fidelity sound is sought-after. It is designed to provide a high-quality audio output while maintaining high-fidelity performance. It utilizes a delta-sigma modulator architecture, which is commonly used in audio and video applications. This architecture allows the PCM1716E/2KG4 to produce a smooth and accurate output without the errors associated with pulse-width modulated DACs. The device also features low distortion levels and low noise for improved audio performance.

The device features dual differential inputs, one for the input signal and one for the reference voltage. The input signal is processed by the on-chip delta-sigma DAC modulator, which converts it into a 16-bit digital output. The digital output is then fed to the DAC, which in turn converts the signal into an analog output. The analog output is then buffered and amplified before it is delivered to the output for further amplifiers.

The PCM1716E/2KG4 requires an external voltage reference and has a low-noise operation. The reference input is applied to an on-chip voltage reference which maintains a stable, high-accuracy reference voltage of 12.0V. The device also has an adjustable voltage range, allowing users to change the output voltage range to meet their application requirements. In addition, the on-chip oscillator module provides a stable and reliable clock to the DAC module, further improving the overall sound quality.

The PCM1716E/2KG4 has a wide spectrum of applications, including professional audio systems, televisions, mobile phones, and digital media players. For example, it can be used in high-end speakers and headphones, allowing for a dynamic and immersive audio experience. It can also be used in digital recording systems, providing a higher-quality resolution for professional audio production. Other applications include digital audio test equipment, multi-media gaming systems, and home theater systems for an immersive sound experience.

The PCM1716E/2KG4 provides excellent sound and resolution performance, making it a preferred choice for many high-end audio solutions. Its features and capabilities make it ideally suited for use in professional audio applications. The device has become a staple of many high-end audio systems, and provides an excellent solution for audio enthusiasts seeking improved performance and fidelity.
