Description

The DA7218 is a high-performance, low power audio codec optimized for use in portable applications or wearable devices. It has single-ended headphone outputs with headphone detect for use in accessories, offering excellent left to right channel separation and common mode noise rejection.

DA7218 also has a stereo DAC to headphone output path and ultra-low power operating modes to support always-on audio detect applications. It contains two analog microphone input paths, or up to four digital microphone input paths, or a combination of both. The other chip in this family, the DA7217 has differential headphone outputs without headphone detect, and has been designed for use inside headset devices.

Benefits

  • Superior hi-fidelity audio performance for immersive record and playback
  • Sub 500µW always-on power extends battery life for audio activity detection
  • Flexible programming filtering (sideband, voice) enhances voice and audio playback
  • Mixed sample rate support for wideband applications
  • Supports the latest generation of low power analog and digital microphones
  • Small package footprint with an optimized ballout conducive to low cost PCB manufacturing

  1. DA7218 datasheet mistakes

    VDDDIG is listed twice. DA7218 datasheet  A.1 Codec Initialization says 5. Enable input and output paths using the Level 2 System Controller (SLC2). but SLC2 is not mentioned anywhere else in the datasheet.  Maybe copied from DA7212?

  2. DA7218 PDM-Mic to DAI no Output

    Hi, I'm trying desperately to get the DA7218 configurated to output 4 PDM microphones at the I2S interface but it still is absolutely quiet. The Mic are getting Clock and are transmitting (checked with Oscilloscope), I also checked the I2S Interface with the tone generator of the codec which ...
