Product Description
High quality audio systems have become standard for
most personal computers. Furthermore, the audio
functions have been migrating to the motherboard,
putting pressure on available board space. The
PACAC97 provides the components necessary for signal
conditioning of analog audio inputs for an AC97 compli-
ant Codec as well as gain setting resistors for head-
phone and microphone amplifiers. Since analog signal
levels can be as high as 2Vrms, the PACAC97 provides
6dB of attenuation (to 1Vrms) for LINE-IN, AUX, and CD
inputs. The CD line level inputs of the PACAC97 have an
additional ground signal, CD_GND, that supports the
pseudo differential amplifier present in AC97 Codecs.
This feature facilitates attenuation of common mode
ground noise typically present at the output of CD ROM
drives. Connecting the CD pins as indicated in the
application circuit provides attenuation of common mode
noise from the CD inputs, thereby producing a higher
quality CD signal. Finally, the device provides gain-
setting resistors for the headphone and microphone
amplifiers. The PACAC97 provides exceptional inter-
channel and channel-to-channel crosstalk attenuation
necessary for high quality audio.
The PACAC97 provides performance, high reliability, and
low cost through manufacturing efficiency, utilizing high
volume and low cost IC manufacturing and processes.
The process yields low noise and highly stable resistors
demanded in audio applications. In addition, the 28-pin
QSOP package is an industry standard that is easy to
handle in manufacturing and provides package reliability

R1, R2 and R3, R4 provide 6dB pads for the LINE-IN
stereo signals in order to scale a 2Vrms input to a
1Vrms Codec input. Similarly, R5, R6, R7, R8 and R9,
R10, R13, R14 provide the necessary attenuation for
the AUX and CD signals going to the Codec. With an
external Operational Amplifier, resistors R17 and R18
provide nominally 27dB of gain for the microphone
signal (non-inverting amp). R15, R16 divide down the
microphone output signal, thereby protecting the Codec
from any transient voltages coming from the microphone
amplifier. This is particularly important if this amplifier
runs of +12V supplies. The R15/R16 divider can be
bypassed with an external 0Ω jumper connection, if so
desired. Bias voltage needs to be provided for con-
denser type microphones. Resistors R21, R22, R23 and
R24 are the gain setting resistors for the headphone
amplifier. The gain is set at 3.5dB with the output
amplifiers in an inverting configuration. The output gain
can be changed with the addition of external resistors,
allowing for maximum design flexibility. The resistors are
referenced as Amp1 and Amp2 rather then Left and
Right to provide added flexibility for board layout. LINE-
IN, LINE-OUT and MIC jack signals are externally de-
coupled in order to minimize EMI.
Crosstalk Test Circuit
Cross talk is a critical parameter for high quality audio.
Specifically, stereo cross talk (Left to Right) and channel
to channel cross talk must be minimized. For this reason
much attention has been paid to the circuit layout of the
PACAC97 in order to provide the necessary damping for
signals in the 20Hz–20KHz audio band. Three examples
are provided to illustrate inter-channel and channel-
channel cross talk measurements that have been
performed on the PACAC97. Similar measurements were
performed for all audio functions deemed critical be-
cause of layout considerations.

Channel-to-Channel Crosstalk: Microphone CD
Figure 1 shows a cross talk measurement of the micro-
phone to the Right Codec CD signal. The microphone
amplifier output pin (pin 18) is driven with a 2Vrms
signal. The Right CD Codec signal is terminated by a
PACAC97
10KΩ load resistor while pins 5,7,17 and 22 on the
device are grounded. Crosstalk measured over the audio
band of 20Hz–20KHz is in excess of –90dB.

Inter-channel Crosstalk: AMP2-AMP1 (LINE_OUT)
Figure 2 shows a crosstalk measurement of Left to Right
channel for the gain setting resistors of the headphone
amplifier (referred to as AMP1 and AMP2). The IN2
(output from Codec) and the AMP_OUT2 pin (pins 23
and 25) are driven by a 2Vrms source. The AMP_OUT1
is terminated by a 10KΩ resistor while the IN1 pin is
terminated with a 1KΩ resistor which represents the
output impedance of the LINE_OUT output of the Codec.
Pins 5, 7, 22 and 24, on the device are grounded.
Crosstalk measured over the audio band of
20Hz to 20KHz is in excess of –90dB.
