Notes:
1.
Ratio of output level with 1kHz full scale input, to the output level with all zeros into the digital input, measured
‘
A
’
weighted over a 20Hz to 20kHz bandwidth.
2.
All performance measurements done with 20kHz low pass filter. Failure to use such a filter will result in higher THD+N and
lower SNR and Dynamic Range readings than are found in the Electrical Characteristics. The low pass filter removes out
of band noise; although it is not audible it may affect dynamic specification values.
3.
Except for Pin 12 (MODE8X) and Pin 17 (DIFFHW), where V

= 2.6V min.
TERMINOLOGY
1.
Signal-to-noise ratio (dB) (SNR) is a measure of the difference in level between the full-scale output and the output with no
signal applied.
2.
Dynamic range (dB) (DNR) is a measure of the difference between the highest and lowest portions of a signal. Normally a
THD+N measurement at 60dB below full scale. The measured signal is then corrected by adding the 60dB to it. (eg
THD+N @ -60dB= -32dB, DR= 92dB).
3.
THD+N (dB) is a ratio of the r.m.s. values, of (Noise + Distortion)/Signal.
4.
Stop band attenuation (dB) is the degree to which the frequency spectrum is attenuated (outside audio band).
5.
Channel Separation (dB) (also known as Cross-Talk) is a measure of the amount one channel is isolated from the other.
Normally measured by sending a full-scale signal down one channel and measuring the other.
6.
Pass-Band Ripple - Any variation of the frequency response in the pass-band region.
