looking for audio DAC solution



Dear team,

Customer is looking for audio DAC solution which support DAC (2-4 output channel) and ADC (Aux in). 

And DAC output power is 10-20W  per channel. (need to support tweeter/woofer/midrange frequency separation)

Could you provide your suggestion to implement this application? thanks.

Regards,

Ben

  • Hi Ben,

    You have a few options here:

    1. You could use a discrete DAC, ADC, and amplifier.

    2. You could use a CODEC (DAC+ADC) and amplifier

    3. You could use an ADC and digital input amplifier (TAS devices).

    Given that most these requirements are for the output amplifier, I will move this to the amplifier team for an initial recommendation.

    Thanks,

    Paul

  • Hi Paul,

    Thanks for your suggestion.

    for CODEC solution, did we have solution can drive 10w speaker?

  • Hi Ben,

    At the time of this posting we do not have a 10W CODEC and the highest output powers of an integrated CODEC are roughly 2.5W into a 4Ω load.  I recommend following one of our CODECs with an analog input Class-D which meets the 10W requirements.
