PCM5242RHBR

Texas Instruments · Digital To Analog Converters (DAC) · VQFN-32-EP(5x5)

PCM5242RHBR from Texas Instruments, in a VQFN-32-EP(5x5). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 XSMT input Soft mute control pin with failsafe LVCMOS Schmitt trigger input; assert low for soft digital attenuation ramp, high for soft un-mute.
2 LDOO power_out Internal logic supply rail output from onchip 1.8V LDO; requires 0.1µF decoupling capacitor or can accept external 1.8V supply to bypass LDO.
3 DGND power_in Digital ground; must be connected to board ground and tied together with all ground signals within 0.2V maximum voltage difference.
4 DVDD power_in Digital power supply voltage; 1.8V or 3.3V operating range 1.65V to 3.46V; serves as IO voltage level and input to internal 1.8V LDO.
5 CPVDD power_in Charge pump power supply voltage; 3.3V nominal with operating range 3.1V to 3.46V.
6 CAPP output Charge pump flying capacitor pin for positive rail; requires external capacitor for charge pump operation.
7 CPGND power_in Charge pump ground connection.
8 CAPM output Charge pump flying capacitor pin for negative rail; requires external capacitor for charge pump operation.
9 VNEG power_out Negative charge pump rail output at -3.3V nominal; requires external decoupling capacitor for stability.
10 OUTLP output Positive differential analog output from left DAC channel; 2.1VRMS ground-centered output with 4.2VRMS differential swing capability.
11 OUTLN output Negative differential analog output from left DAC channel; 2.1VRMS ground-centered output with 4.2VRMS differential swing capability.
12 OUTRN output Negative differential analog output from right DAC channel; 2.1VRMS ground-centered output with 4.2VRMS differential swing capability.
13 OUTRP output Positive differential analog output from right DAC channel; 2.1VRMS ground-centered output with 4.2VRMS differential swing capability.
14 AVDD power_in Analog power supply voltage; 3.3V nominal with operating range 3.0V to 3.6V; powers analog circuits including ADC, PGA, and voltage reference.
15 AGND power_in Analog ground; must be connected to board ground and tied together with digital grounds within 0.2V maximum voltage difference.
16 VCOM output Common-mode voltage output in VCOM mode (optional); ties to GND in default VREF mode; in hardware mode this pin functions as DEMP (de-emphasis control for 44.1kHz).
17 SDA/MOSI bidirectional I2C data line (open-drain configuration) in I2C mode; serial input data in SPI mode; digital gain control (ATT2) in hardware mode.
18 SCL/MC input I2C clock input in I2C mode; serial bit clock input in SPI mode; digital gain control (ATT1) in hardware mode.
19 GPIO5 bidirectional General-purpose digital input/output port with internal pulldown in I2C/SPI modes; digital gain control (ATT0) in hardware mode.
20 GPIO4 bidirectional General-purpose digital input/output port with internal pulldown in I2C/SPI modes; I2S master clock select (MAST) in hardware mode.
21 GPIO3 bidirectional General-purpose digital input/output port with internal pulldown in I2C/SPI modes; analog gain selector (AGNS) in hardware mode.
22 GPIO2 bidirectional I2C device select bit (ADR2) or general-purpose I/O in SPI mode; general-purpose output in hardware mode.
23 MODE1 input Mode control selection pin; high selects SPI mode; low with MODE2=high selects I2C mode; low with MODE2=low selects hardware mode.
24 MODE2/MS input Mode control selection pin; in I2C mode enables auto-increment mode; in SPI mode serves as chip select (MS); see MODE1 for mode selection logic.
25 GPIO6 bidirectional General-purpose digital input/output port with internal pulldown in I2C/SPI modes; filter select (FLT) in hardware mode for normal or low-latency.
26 SCK input System master clock input accepting 1MHz to 50MHz with low phase jitter; used to generate all internal clocks via PLL or direct division.
27 BCK bidirectional Audio data bit clock; input in slave mode or output in master mode; maximum frequency 24.576MHz at 3.3V DVDD, 12.288MHz at 1.8V DVDD.
28 DIN input Audio data serial input supporting I2S, left-justified, right-justified, and TDM/DSP formats; accepts 16-bit, 20-bit, 24-bit, and 32-bit audio data.
29 NC unconnected No connect; leave unconnected.
30 NC unconnected No connect; leave unconnected.
31 LRCK bidirectional Audio data word clock; input in slave mode or output in master mode; defines left/right channel timing and frame synchronization for audio interface.
32 ADR1/MISO bidirectional I2C slave address LSB select (ADR1) in I2C mode; SPI readback data output (MISO) or GPIO1 in SPI mode; audio format select (FMT) in hardware mode.
33 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
