PCM5252 Stereo Differential-Output DAC Texas Instruments PCM5252 Stereo Differential-Output DAC is a monolithic CMOS integrated circuit that includes a stereo digital-to-analog converter and additional support circuitry in a small QFN package. The PCM5252 uses the latest generation of TI’s advanced segment-DAC architecture to achieve excellent dynamic performance and improved tolerance to clock jitter. The PCM5252 integrates a fully programmable mini DSP core that allows developers to integrate filters, dynamic range controls, custom interpolators and other differentiating features into their products. The PCM5252 integrates ROM components of TI’s PurePath™ Smart Amp technology, which allows speakers to be driven with more peak power than their average-power rating, without damage to the speaker by voice coil over excursion or thermal overload.
