Article: Crystal Semiconductor Raises Digital Audio Standard: Announces 120-dB, 96-kHz A/D Converter; Cirrus Logic's Crystal Semiconductor Products Division Develops Record Breaking Analog-to-Digital Converter.

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 14, 1997--Cirrus Logic Inc. (NASDAQ:CRUS) and its Crystal Semiconductor Products Division today introduced the first audio analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to break the 120-dB dynamic range barrier.

The CS5396 is also the first 24-bit ADC to support the emerging 96-kHz sampling rate requirement for professional audio systems.

The new device's high-dynamic range and doubled sampling rate, combined with its 24-bit resolution and negligible distortion, will enable digital signal processing (DSP) based systems to match and exceed the performance of high-end analog audio systems. This performance makes it ideal for ...
