 Design Considerations

High-quality digital audio formats, such as DVD-audio and SACD, present AV receiver system designers with many engineering challenges. Digital connectivity, content protection, compatibility with new decoding standards and the need for fast data rates with superior analog performance throughout the entire audio signal chain require careful attention to semiconductor device selection, power supply design and PCB layout.

TI enables AV end equipment to take advantage of these formats and deliver not only the highest performance, but also the most cost-effective solutions to the consumer. The highest quality DVD Audio data rate of 192 kHz can be sent across a single 1394 cable connected to an AV receiver, offering high-quality digital audio in a system that's easy to set up.
