11.3 Audio ADC Driver Performance: THS4531 AND PCM4204 Combined Performance

To show achievable performance with a high performance audio ADC, the THS4531 is tested as the drive amplifier for the PCM4204. The PCM4204 is a high-performance, four-channel analog-to-digital (A/D) converter designed for professional and broadcast audio applications. The PCM4204 architecture utilizes a 1-bit delta-sigma modulator per channel incorporating an advanced dither scheme for improved dynamic performance, and supports PCM output data. The PCM4204 provides flexible serial port interface and many other advanced features. Please refer to its data sheet for more information.

The PCM4204 EVM is used to test the audio performance of the THS4531 as a drive amplifier. The standard PCM4204 EVM is provided with 4x OPA1632 fully differential amplifiers, which use the same pin out as the THS4531. For testing, one of these amplifiers is replaced with a THS4531 device in same package (MSOP), gain changed to 1 V/V, and power supply changed to single supply +5 V. Figure 85 shows the circuit. With single supply +5 V supply the output common-mode of the THS4531 defaults to +2.5 V as required at the input of the PCM4204. So the resistor connecting the VOCM input of the THS4531 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.

Figure 86 shows the THD+N vs Frequency with no weighting and Figure 87 shows an FFT with 1 kHz input tone. Input signal to the PCM4204 for these tests is -0.5 dBFS. Table 5 summarizes results of testing using the THS4531 + PCM4204 versus typical Data Sheet performance, and show it make an excellent drive amplifier for this ADC.
