PCM1606E/2K

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Overview

The PCM1606E/2K is a 24-bit, 192-kHz sampling, six-channel enhanced multilevel delta-sigma digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. Designed for high-fidelity audio applications, this component integrates six independent DAC channels within a single package. It utilizes an enhanced multilevel architecture to achieve superior dynamic performance and low distortion characteristics suitable for professional audio systems. The device operates with standard serial interfaces and supports high-resolution audio formats up to 192 kHz sampling rates.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Feature Summary

• Six-channel stereo output capability with 24-bit resolution
• Supports sampling rates up to 192 kHz
• Enhanced multilevel delta-sigma modulation architecture
• Integrated digital filter for direct interface with DSPs or microprocessors

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Applications

• Professional audio mixing consoles
• High-end home theater receivers
• Digital audio workstations
• Multichannel surround sound systems

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Part Context

The PCM1606E/2K belongs to the PCM1606 series of multi-channel audio DACs from Texas Instruments. The '/2K' suffix indicates the specific tape-and-reel packaging configuration containing 2000 units per reel, distinct from tube-packaged variants like the PCM1606E. This part is part of Burr-Brown's legacy audio product line now managed under Texas Instruments.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same family include the PCM1606E (tube package) or other multi-channel DACs such as the PCM1680 or PCM1780, though these may differ in channel count or specific performance metrics. Designers should verify electrical compatibility and software configuration requirements when substituting.
