PCM1770RGA

Texas Instruments · ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose · VQFN-20(4.2x4.2)

PCM1770RGA from Texas Instruments, in a VQFN-20(4.2x4.2). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 DATA input Serial audio data input.
2 BCK bidirectional Serial bit clock that clocks the individual bits of DATA; it is an input from an external device in slave mode and is generated by the PCM1770 as an output in master mode.
3 PD input Reset input; when low, the PCM1770 is powered down and all mode control registers are reset to default settings.
4 AGND power_in Analog ground that is the return for VCC.
5 HGND power_in Analog ground that is the return for VHP.
6 VCOM passive Decoupling capacitor connection; an external 10-µF capacitor from this terminal to analog ground is required for noise filtering, and the voltage here is 0.5 VHP nominal.
7 HOUTR output R-channel analog signal output of the headphone amplifiers.
8 NC unconnected No connect.
9 HOUTL output L-channel analog signal output of the headphone amplifiers.
10 AIN input Monaural analog signal mixer input that can be mixed with the outputs of the L- and R-channel DACs.
11 VHP power_in Analog power supply for the headphone amplifier circuits; the voltage must be the same as VCC.
12 VCC power_in Power supply for all analog circuits except the headphone amplifier, specified at 1.6 V to 3.6 V.
13 MD input Mode control port serial data input that controls the operation mode of the PCM1770.
14 MC input Mode control port serial bit clock input that clocks the individual bits of MD.
15 MS input Mode control port select; the control port is active when this terminal is low.
16 SCKI input System clock input.
17 NC unconnected No connect.
18 NC unconnected No connect.
19 NC unconnected No connect.
20 LRCK bidirectional Left and right clock that determines the channel on DATA; its frequency must equal the audio sampling rate, and it is an input in slave mode or a device-generated output in master mode.
21 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
