What this audio ADC brings to the board
The Texas Instruments PCM1863DBTR is a 24-bit audio ADC in a 30-TSSOP surface-mount package. It converts two analog audio channels into digital data, communicating over I²C or SPI.
Active lifecycle — no LTB pressure
The PCM1863DBTR carries an Active product status per TI's current lifecycle stage. That means no last-time-buy clock is running, and the part is still being manufactured for new designs. For a BOM freeze or a long-running production program, this removes the sourcing risk of an impending EOL notice. The ROHS3 compliance also clears EU and global regulatory gates without a waiver.
Sourcing and fit for the BOM
This is a current-production part available through independent distribution. We source it to order against an RFQ, confirming availability and current pricing at quote time. The 30-TSSOP footprint is a common package for audio converters, so board layout reuse across similar TI or third-party parts is straightforward.
