ADAU1797 High-Performance Audio Codec

Analog Devices' ADAU1797 high-performance audio codec has integrated HiFi 3z and FastDSP™ cores

Image of Analog Devices' ADAU1797 High-Performance Audio CodecADIs ADAU1797 is a low-power, high-performance audio codec that provides three analog input channels, ten DMIC input channels, two PDM output channels, and one high-efficiency Class-D amplifier output channel.

The device features a low-power HiFi 3z audio DSP core and a low-latency FastDSP core. The DSP cores, paired with high-fidelity audio data converters, are ideal for noise cancellation, transparency, personal sound amplification, and voice processing applications.

The DSP cores are optimized for small form factor applications such as true wireless stereo (TWS) headphones when operating in low-power mode. In this mode, the device delivers the right level of processing power while still minimizing power consumption to extend play time.

The device also has the flexibility to support applications requiring additional processing capability, such as over-ear headphones, VR and AR headsets, wearables, hearing assist, and PSAP devices. In high-performance mode, the HiFi 3z core is boosted from 50 MHz to 200 MHz, and the FastDSP supports double the number of instructions (up from 64 to 128). This increased processing capability can either offload cycles from the host processor or enable a lower-cost host processor without requiring an additional external audio DSP or MCU.

The EVAL-ADAU1797Z evaluation board provides full access to all analog and digital inputs/outputs on the ADAU1797. The EVAL-ADAU1797Z can be powered by a single 3.8 V to 5 V supply. Once the main power is supplied, onboard regulators provide the voltages needed for the ADAU1797 and other devices. The printed circuit board (PCB) is an 8-layer design, with a ground plane and power plane on the inner layers. The EVAL-ADAU1797Z contains connectors for external microphones and speakers. The master clock can be provided externally or by the onboard 24.576 MHz passive crystal or 24.576 MHz oscillator.
