PCM4201PW

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Overview

The PCM4201PW is a single-channel, 24-bit delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter (ADC) manufactured by Texas Instruments under the Burr-Brown brand. It features a DSP/PCM serial interface and operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65V to 3.6V for digital logic and 5V for analog sections. The device supports sampling rates up to 108k samples per second and is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package with an operating temperature range of -10°C to 70°C.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Feature Summary

• 24-bit resolution with 108kSPS maximum sampling rate
• DSP/PCM compatible serial data interface
• Dual power supply support: 1.65V-3.6V digital and 5V analog
• 16-TSSOP surface-mount package

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Applications

• High-fidelity audio recording systems
• Professional audio mixing consoles
• Digital audio workstations

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Texas Instruments rather than Burr Brown, as Burr Brown was acquired by TI. Confirm the suffix 'PW' corresponds to the 16-TSSOP package variant. Check RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 2) requirements for assembly processes.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel, high-resolution audio ADC with a standard PCM interface is required. Ensure the system design accommodates separate 5V analog and low-voltage digital power supplies. Verify that the 108kSPS speed meets the application's bandwidth needs compared to higher-speed alternatives.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Part Context

This part belongs to the PCM4201 family of specialized audio data converters. It is functionally similar to other Burr-Brown/TI audio ADCs like the PCM1808 but offers specific interface and performance characteristics tailored for professional audio applications requiring precise timing and high dynamic range.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements may include other PCM4201 variants with different packaging suffixes (e.g., PWR). Cross-reference with PCM18xx series devices if interface compatibility allows, though electrical specifications and pinouts must be verified against official datasheets.
