CS5381 ADC Series

cirrus-logic

The CS5381 series from Cirrus Logic consists of dual delta-sigma ADCs designed for high-resolution audio and signal processing applications. These devices operate at 192 ksps (kilosamples per second) and provide 24-bit serial output, making them ideal for scenarios requiring high-fidelity audio recording and playback. If you're working on high-end audio systems, these ADCs are a go-to choice. They excel in capturing audio signals with excellent linearity and low distortion, thanks to their delta-sigma architecture. One thing worth noting is that they offer a wide dynamic range, with some variants boasting a 120 dB SNR (signal-to-noise ratio), which is crucial for maintaining audio quality across various input levels. Engineers tend to reach for this series when they need robust, high-resolution ADCs for audio applications, particularly in systems that require pristine sound quality. The availability in both SOIC and TSSOP packages provides flexibility depending on the board layout and thermal considerations. The bulk options allow for easier handling during assembly, while the T/R (transmit/receive) versions cater to applications where both functionalities are needed. Overall, the
