Analog anti-aliasing filters attenuate out-of-band high-frequency components prior to analog-to-digital converters (ADC). These filters prevent high frequencies from aliasing or folding back into the band of interest and degrading the performance of the ADC. The TLV320ADCx140/PCMx140-Q1 family of audio ADCs (TLV320ADC3140, TLV320ADC5140, TLV320ADC6140, PCM3140-Q1, PCM5140-Q1, PCM6140-Q1) as well as TLV320ADCx120/PCMx120-Q1 (TLV320ADC3120, TLV320ADC5120, TLV320ADC6120, PCM3120-Q1,PCM5120-Q1, PCM6120-Q1) have a built-in anti-alias filter, so no external anti-alias filter is needed. This application note describes the included anti-alias filter in the analog-to-digital conversion process in TLV320ADCx140/TLV320ADCx120/PCMx120-Q1/PCMx140-Q1 devices.
