Low-Power Stereo CODEC with Headphone Amplifier

Low-Power Stereo CODEC with Headphone Amplifier

Product catalog summary
Product Overview: The CS42L51 is a low-power audio CODEC designed for portable audio applications. It operates from a single 1.8V or 2.5V supply, offering advanced performance with minimal power consumption.
Key Specifications:
  • Stereo playback consumes 12 mW at 1.8V, while stereo record and playback consume 20 mW at 1.8V.
  • Features a 3:1 stereo input selector and programmable gain amplifier (PGA) with a range of +12 dB to -3 dB in 0.5 dB steps.
  • Includes a stereo microphone pre-amp with bias supply, offering +32 dB or +16 dB gain.
  • Provides a dynamic range of 98 dB and supports up to 88 mW output into stereo 16 Ω headphones at 2.5V.
  • Incorporates digital signal processing with bass and treble tone control, programmable peak signal detect, and limiter.
  • Supports 24-bit conversion with sample rates up to 96 kHz.
Design Advantages: The CS42L51 eliminates the need for DC blocking capacitors by generating its own on-chip negative power supply voltage, resulting in ground-centered outputs. This reduces implementation costs and saves circuit board space.
Applications: Ideal for portable audio devices such as hard-disc drive and flash-based audio players, personal media players, PDAs, smartphones, digital cameras, camcorders, wireless headsets, and portable gaming systems.
Technical Features:
  • Utilizes a multi-bit Delta-Sigma architecture for infinite sample rate adjustment between 4 kHz and 100 kHz.
  • Includes a digital volume control with soft ramp and zero cross, and an on-chip beep generation feature.
  • Offers flexible power-down management with chip/block selectability.
Physical and Pricing Information: The CS42L51 is available in a 32L-QFN package, measuring 5 mm pin-to-pin nominal, and is priced at $3.95 per unit for quantities of 1,000.

The CS42L51’s key distinction is that it operates from a single, 1.8V power supply for low-power consumption, yet delivers plenty of output power, 46mW, into stereo 16 ohm headphones for a great listening experience. This highly integrated 24-bit, 96 kHz stereo CODEC is based on a multi-bit Delta-Sigma architecture which allows infinite sample rate adjustment between 4 kHz and 100 kHz. • Hard-disc drive & Flash-based portable audio players By generating its own on-chip negative power supply voltage, the CS42L51 provides ground-centered outputs, which eliminates costly, space-consuming DC blocking capacitors that some competing solutions require. The elimination of these capacitors not only reduces the implementation cost but it also greatly simplifies product design and saves valuable circuit board space. • Personal media players • Mini-disc players and recorders • PDA’s & smart phones • Digital cameras & camcorders • Digital voice recorders • Wireless headsets • Guitar effects pedals • Portable audio recording systems • Portable gaming systems This next-generation CODEC is an ideal choice for any portable audio product developer.
