SoftDAC™ 24bit Audio DAC

The ANAGRAM SoftDAC 24bit Audio DAC consists of a configurable IP core and reference design architecture optimized for use with low complexity analog filters. SoftDAC is designed to deliver an extremely cost effective high quality digital to analog converter > 110dB SNR (A) and < 0.003% THD satisfying next generation high definition audio device requirements.

Combining SoftDAC with DSP processing in highly integrated devices, designers have the flexibility to differentiate their products with sound effects and enhancements, while easing design and reducing components and system cost. In addition seamless integration with the Q5 Asynchronous Sample Rate Converter IP Core allows support of asynchronous input streams from 8 to 192kHz for more advanced audio processor subsystem architectures, excellent jitter attenuation, and simplified system integration.
