DESCRIPTION
The PCM1738 is a CMOS, monolithic, Integrated Cir-
cuit (IC) that includes stereo Digital-to-Analog Convert-
ers (DACs) and support circuitry in a small SSOP-28
package. The data converters utilize a newly developed
advanced segment DAC architecture to achieve excel-
lent dynamic performance and improved tolerance to
clock jitter. The PCM1738 provides balanced current
outputs, allowing the user to optimize analog perfor-
mance externally, and accepts industry standard audio
data formats with 16- to 24-bit data, providing easy
interfacing to audio DSP and decoder chips. Sampling
rates up to 200kHz are supported. The PCM1738 also
has two optional modes of operation: an external digital-
filter mode (for use with the DF1704, DF1706, and
PMD200), and a DSD decoder interface for SACD
playback applications. A full set of user-programmable
functions are accessible through a 4-wire serial control
port that supports register write and read functions.

NOTES: (1) Pin 11 (MDO). (2) Analog performance specifications are measured by an Audio Precision System II, using an averaging mode. At 44.1kHz
operation, bandwidth measurement is limited with 20kHz. At 96kHz and 192kHz, bandwidth measurement is limited with 40kHz. (3) Theoretical performance
in DSD modulation index of 100%. It's performance is equivalent to the PCM mode. (4) SCKO is disabled. Input is Bipolar Zero Data.

DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Burr-Brown
recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling
and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation
to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may
be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric
changes could cause the device not to meet its published
specifications.
