CX20672 HD Audio CODEC with 2W Class-D,
Capless HP, Re-Tasking, and S/PDIF Out
AudioSmart™ Product Brief
CODEC with Integrated Class-D Stereo Amplifier for
HD Audio
Product Overview
Key Features
Conexant's CX20672 is a low-power, 102dB SNR HD
audio CODEC with integrated 2-WRMS stereo class-D
that uses spread spectrum dispersion technology to
prevent EMI. Two independent pairs of DACs and three
independent pairs of ADCs support multi-streaming and
real time communications applications. The audio
fidelity of the device exceeds Microsoft Premium Logo
requirements.
•
A ProCoustic capless headphone driver delivers 31mW
per channel into 32 loads, and eliminates external DC
blocking capacitors. Two re-taskable ports are available
to allow microphone/line in and microphone/line in/line
out re-tasking. All output ports feature PopShield
technology that eliminates pops and clicks.
The CODEC features a stereo digital microphone
interface that includes a hardware DC-level filter to
remove DC offset and provides the clock output. One
independent S/PDIF output is available that supports
sample rates up to 96kHz, 16-bit to 24-bit resolution.
Multiple GPIOs are provided, including speaker mute
and EAPD functions.
Integrated 5V to 3.3V and 3.3V to 1.8V LDO regulators
guarantee high performance analog audio and clean
power to internal digital blocks. Conexant's D-Flex
power management allows the system to exceed the
power savings specified in the Intel ECR 15B. The
internal Wake-on-BEEP logic resumes the analog paths
for the PC BEEP to the output ports.
