AK5355VT
AK5355VT - 16-Bit Low-Power Audio ADC | Asahi Kasei
The Asahi Kasei Microdevices AK5355VT is a low-power, 16-bit serial delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter with an integrated input gain amplifier, designed for digital-audio and microphone-signal conversion. The device operates from a 2.1 V to 3.6 V supply, supports an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, and is supplied in a surface-mount 16-pin TSSOP package. Its combination of 16-bit conversion resolution, integrated gain amplification, and low-voltage operation makes it suitable for audio front ends handling low-level input signals.
An analog-to-digital converter is an integrated circuit that samples an analog voltage and converts it into a digital representation. The AK5355VT belongs to the ADC hierarchy: delta-sigma ADC, serial ADC, audio ADC, data-converter IC, and integrated circuit. In audio systems, this conversion stage turns microphone or line-level analog signals into serial digital data that can be processed by an audio codec, DSP, digital mixer, or digital recording equipment.
Key verified characteristics include 16-bit resolution, delta-sigma conversion, a serial output interface, and an integrated input gain amplifier. The integrated amplifier reduces the need for a separate microphone preamplifier when operating with suitably low-level inputs. The 2.1 V to 3.6 V operating range is appropriate for low-voltage portable, consumer-electronics, and embedded audio equipment, while the -40°C to +85°C range supports industrial-temperature operation.
The AK5355VT uses a serial digital interface, allowing digitized audio to be transferred through a compact connection rather than a parallel bus. This can reduce wiring and PCB routing requirements, although the host processor must be configured to clock and frame the serial data correctly. Exact sampling rate, input bandwidth, clock requirements, digital-interface voltage, and conversion-performance figures were not included in the supplied verified data and therefore require confirmation from the manufacturer datasheet.
Typical uses include digital microphones, microphone-array preamplification, audio-recording modules, portable audio equipment, and industrial sound-capture systems. The integrated gain amplifier is especially relevant when the source signal is weak, while the low-voltage supply range simplifies integration with modern 3.3 V digital systems.
Designers should verify input range, programmable gain, clocking, serial-format compatibility, and decoupling requirements before layout release. Input and reference circuitry should be placed for low noise, with short analog routing and controlled return paths. The AK5355VT is appropriate when a 16-bit, low-power, 16-TSSOP audio ADC is required, but a different converter may be preferable when a specific sampling rate, channel count, digital format, or pin-compatible second source is mandatory.
This product page consolidates the verified electrical, environmental, package, pricing-reference, and sourcing information for the AK5355VT and distinguishes confirmed specifications from parameters that still require datasheet confirmation. It also provides selection guidance, application context, and an honest assessment of the limited drop-in replacement data available.
