SLOS681C January 2011 – August 2019 DRV632
PRODUCTION DATA.
Several audio DACs used today require an external low-pass filter to remove out-of-band noise. This is possible with the DRV632, as it can be used like a standard operational amplifier. Several filter topologies can be implemented, both single-ended and differential. In Figure 8, multi-feedback (MFB) with differential input and single-ended input are shown.
An ac-coupling capacitor to remove dc content from the source is shown; it serves to block any dc content from the source and lowers the dc gain to 1, helping to reduce the output dc offset to a minimum.
To calculate the component values, use the TI WEBENCH® Filter Designer (www.ti.com/filterdesigner).
The resistor values should have a low value for obtaining low noise, but should also have a high enough value to get a small-size ac-coupling capacitor. With the proposed values of R1 = 15 kΩ, R2 = 30 kΩ, and R3 = 43 kΩ, a dynamic range (DYR) of 106 dB can be achieved with a 1-μF input ac-coupling capacitor.
