Texas Instruments PCM3120-Q1 Software-Controlled Audio ADC

Texas Instruments PCM3120-Q1 Software-Controlled Audio ADC is a Burr-Brown™ high-performance, audio analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that supplies simultaneous sampling of up to two analog channels or four digital channels for the pulse density modulation (PDM) microphone input.

The TI PCM3120-Q1 Software-Controlled Audio ADC implements line and microphone inputs for single-ended and differential input configurations. The ADC integrates programmable channel gain, digital volume control, a programmable microphone bias voltage, a phase-locked loop (PLL), a programmable high-pass filter (HPF), biquad filters, and low-latency filter modes while permitting sample rates up to 768kHz.

The ADC supports time-division multiplexing (TDM), I2S, or left-justified (LJ) audio formats and can be controlled with the I2C interface. These integrated high-performance features, combined with the ability to be powered from a single supply of 3.3V or 1.8V, make the device an ideal choice for space-constrained audio systems in far-field microphone recording applications.

The PCM3120-Q1 is specified from -40°C to +125°C and is housed in a 20-pin WQFN package.
