Low-cost sigma-delta DAC has less than -87dB of total harmonic distortion plus noise, and more than 87dB of dynamic range.

Maxim Integrated Products introduces the MAX5556, a low-cost, 24bit, I2S-compatible stereo DAC This sigma-delta DAC has less than -87dB of total harmonic distortion plus noise, and more than 87dB of dynamic range

It integrates interpolation, deemphasis, analogue output filters, click-and-pop-free power-up and power-down, and line level outputs that swing 3.5V peak-peak with a 10kohm load.

These features make the MAX5556 ideal for digital audio applications.

The MAX5556 includes automatic clock divisor detection (MCLK/LRCK) and operates with a sampling frequency between 2kHz and 50kHz from an MCLK up to 25MHz.

The output is muted if the clock signal is lost, and then returns to normal operation without glitches when the clock signal is restored.

The MAX5556 operates from a single +5V supply and has a 16 to 24bit I2S-compatible serial interface.

Future parts are offered for applications not requiring I2S compatibility: the MAX5557 with a 16 to 24bit left-justified interface; the MAX5558 with a 16bit right-justified interface; and the MAX5559 with an 18bit right-justified interface.

All devices are available in a narrow, 8-pin SO package, and priced at only $0.99 (1000-up, FOB USA).
