6.3.7 Signal-Chain Processing

The PCM1841-Q1 signal chain is comprised of very-low-noise, high-performance, low-power analog blocks and highly flexible, programmable digital processing blocks. This high performance and flexibility, combined with a compact package, makes the PCM1841-Q1 excellent for a variety of end-equipments and applications that require multichannel audio capture. Figure 6-9 shows a conceptual block diagram that highlights the various building blocks used in the signal chain and how the blocks interact in the signal chain.

The front-end, dynamic range enhancer (DRE) gain amplifier is very low noise, with a 123dB dynamic range performance. The front-end DRE gain amplifier enables the PCM1841-Q1 to record a far-field audio signal with very high fidelity along with a low-noise and low-distortion, multibit, delta-sigma ADC, in both quiet and loud environments. Moreover, the ADC architecture has inherent antialias filtering with a high rejection of out-of-band frequency noise around multiple modulator frequency components. Therefore, the device prevents noise from aliasing into the audio band during ADC sampling. Further along the signal chain, an integrated, high-performance multistage digital decimation filter sharply cuts off any out-of-band frequency noise with high stop-band attenuation.

The device supports an input signal bandwidth up to 80kHz, which allows the high-frequency non-audio signal to be recorded by using a 176.4kHz (or higher) sample rate.
