PCM1691DCAR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PCM1691DCAR is a 24-bit audio digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for high-resolution audio applications with sampling rates up to 192 kHz. The device integrates 8 channels with DSP and I2S data interface capabilities, supporting dual voltage supply configurations (3V–3.6V and 5V). However, the PCM1691DCAR is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent components to ensure design continuity and supply chain reliability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PCM1690DCAR is the direct substitute for the obsolete PCM1691DCAR. Both components are manufactured by Texas Instruments and share identical electrical specifications, channel configuration, resolution, sampling rate, data interface protocol, voltage supply requirements, operating temperature range, and physical package dimensions.

The PCM1690DCAR carries active product status with manufacturer recommended designation, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. The component maintains full ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings. The PCM1690DCAR additionally carries automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q100), which provides enhanced reliability documentation suitable for demanding applications, though this does not alter functional compatibility for standard industrial or consumer audio applications.

Selection of the PCM1690DCAR eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining complete design compatibility with existing PCM1691DCAR implementations.
