AD1888JCPZ-REEL

Overview

The AD1888JCPZ-REEL is an AC '97 SoundMAX codec manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It features six DAC channels for 5.1 surround sound and a 90 dB dynamic range with 20-bit PCM resolution. The device includes integrated stereo headphone amplifiers, S/PDIF output, and multiple analog inputs such as phone, aux, line-in, and high-quality CD input. It supports double rate audio at 96 kHz and offers selectable microphone inputs with preamps. Power management modes are available to optimize energy consumption in portable systems.

Feature Summary

• Supports 5.1 surround sound with six dedicated DAC channels
• Integrates stereo headphone amplifiers and S/PDIF digital output
• Features jack sense logic for automatic topology switching
• Includes software-controlled VREF_OUT for flexible MIC biasing

Applications

• Notebook computer audio subsystems
• Desktop PC multimedia platforms
• Portable media players requiring low power operation
• Embedded audio solutions with AC '97 interface requirements

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix JCPZ corresponds to the LFCSP package variant when sourcing. Confirm that the REEL designation matches the required tape and reel quantity for automated assembly processes. Ensure compatibility with the target system's AC '97 bus voltage levels before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a complete AC '97 compliant audio solution with integrated headphone drivers. Consider the LFCSP package dimensions if board space is constrained. Verify that the system clocking strategy aligns with the internal PLL capabilities for crystal-free operation or external reference inputs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Analog Devices SoundMAX codec family designed for consumer electronics. It provides a comprehensive audio processing engine combining analog front-end connectivity with digital signal conversion. The device simplifies motherboard design by integrating multiple audio functions into a single chip.

Replacement Considerations

Check for updated revisions within the AD1888 series. Evaluate other AC '97 codecs from Analog Devices with similar pin counts and feature sets if supply constraints exist.
