The DAC11001 audio reference design is a unique and comprehensive audio design featuring the DAC11001A and DAC11001B. The DAC11001 is a 20-bit, low-noise, ultra-high performance precision R-2R digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Delta-sigma type modulators are the most common DACs used in audio applications. Precision R-2R based DACs are generally not used in audio applications due to the additional design considerations for specific audio requirements. This reference design demonstrates the strengths and limitations of precision R-2R DACs for dynamic signal generation in the context of high- fidelity audio as an application.
A fully assembled board has been developed for testing and performance validation only, and is not available for sale.
