Overview
Conexant's CX20672 is a low-power, 102 dB SNR HD Audio codec with integrated 2-
WRMS stereo Class-D using Spread Spectrum dispersion technology to prevent EMI.
Two independent pairs of DACs and three independent pairs of ADCs support multi-
Streaming and Real Time Communications applications. The audio fidelity of the device
exceeds Microsoft Premium Logo requirements.
A ProCoustic capless headphone driver delivers 31 mW per channel into 32 Ω loads and
eliminates external DC blocking capacitors. Two retaskable ports are available allowing
Microphone/Line in and Microphone/Line In/Line Out retasking. All output ports feature
PopShield technology that eliminates pops and clicks.
The codec features a stereo digital microphone interface that includes a hardware DC-
level filter to remove DC offset and provides the clock output. One independent SPDIF
output is available supporting sample rates up to 96 kHz, 16-24-bit resolution. Multiple
GPIO's are provided, including speaker mute and EAPD functions.
Integrated 5 V to 3.3 V and 3.3 V to 1.8 V Low Dropout (LDO) regulators guarantee high
performance analog audio and clean power to internal digital blocks. Conexant's D-Flex
power management allows the system to exceed the power savings specified in the Intel
ECR 15B. The internal Wake-on-BEEP logic resumes the analog paths for the PC BEEP
to the output ports.
