9.2.2.1 Detailed Design Procedure

The PCM4204 EVM is used to test the audio performance of the THS4531A as a drive amplifier. The standard PCM4204 EVM is provided with 4x OPA1632 fully differential amplifiers, which use the same pin out as the THS4531A. For testing, one of these amplifiers is replaced with a THS4531A device in same package (MSOP), gain changed to 1 V/V, and power supply changed to single supply 5 V. With single supply +5-V supply the output common-mode of the THS4531A defaults to 2.5 V as required at the input of the PCM4204. So the resistor connecting the VOCM input of the THS4531A to the input common-mode drive from the PCM4204 is optional and no performance change was noted with it connected or removed. The EVM power connections were modified by connecting positive supply inputs, 15 V, 5 VA, and 5 VD, to a 5-V external power supply (EXT 3.3 was not used) and connecting –15 V and all ground inputs to ground on the external power supply so only one external 5-V supply was needed to power all devices on the EVM.

An audio analyzer is used to provide an analog audio input to the EVM and the PCM formatted digital output is read by the digital input on the analyzer. Data was taken at fS = 96 kHz, and audio output uses PCM format. Other data rates and formats are expected to show similar performance in line with that shown in the data sheet.
