AK4396VF

The AK4396VF is a high-performance 24-bit, 192 kHz stereo digital-to-analog converter (DAC) from Asahi Kasei Microdevices (AKM). It features low distortion (-100 dB THD+N) and high dynamic range (120 dB), making it ideal for high-end audio applications like professional audio equipment, CD/DVD players, and digital audio workstations.
Key features include:
- Delta-Sigma modulation for high-resolution audio.
- On-chip digital filter with selectable roll-off characteristics.
- Single +5V power supply operation.
- LVCMOS-compatible digital inputs (supports I2S, left-justified, and right-justified formats).
The VF suffix indicates a lead-free package (SSOP-28). The AK4396VF is known for its low noise and excellent linearity, ensuring accurate sound reproduction. It is often compared to other premium DACs like the AK4490 but is optimized for balanced, high-fidelity output.
For detailed specs, refer to the AK4396VF datasheet from AKM.
