Frequently Asked Questions

What resolution and input format does the PCM56P-K DAC support?

The PCM56P-K is a 16-bit digital-to-analog converter that accepts 2's complement binary data via a serial input interface, enabling precise audio signal reconstruction at up to 666 ksps with ±2% FSR accuracy across its full output range.

What power supply voltages are required to operate the PCM56P-K?

The PCM56P-K requires dual supply rails: a positive supply and a negative supply of -5 V nominal, generating an analog output voltage range from -3 V to +3 V, making it compatible with standard bipolar analog signal chains in audio equipment.

Which audio applications benefit most from using the PCM56P-K in a 16-pin PDIP package?

The PCM56P-K in a 16-pin PDIP package is ideal for benchtop audio prototyping, legacy CD player DAC replacement, and professional mixing consoles where through-hole assembly and 16-bit audio resolution at 666 ksps are both required for accurate signal fidelity.

How does the PCM56P-K compare to newer surface-mount DAC alternatives for audio designs?

Compared to modern SMD DACs, the PCM56P-K offers the same 16-bit resolution and serial interface in a through-hole 16-pin PDIP format, making it a preferred choice for serviceability, manual soldering, and designs that demand proven ±2% FSR linearity without reflow oven requirements.
