PCM3501

OUTPUT FILTER CIRCUITS FOR THE DAC

The PCM3501’s DAC uses delta-sigma conversion tech-

niques. It uses oversampling and noise shaping to improve

in-band (f = fS/2) signal-to-noise performance at the expense

of increased out-of-band noise. The DAC output must be

low-pass filtered to attenuate the out-of-band noise to a

reasonable level.

The PCM3501 includes a low-pass filter in the on-chip

output amplifier circuit. The frequency response for this

filter is shown in Figure 20. Although this filter helps to

lower the out-of-band noise, it is not adequate for many

applications. This is especially true for applications where

the sampling frequency is below 16kHz, since the out-of-

band noise above fS/2 is in the audio spectrum. An external

filter circuit, either passive or active, is required to provide

additional attenuation of the out-of-band noise. The low-

pass filter order will be dependent upon the out-of-band

noise requirements for a particular system. Generally, a 2nd-

order or better low-pass circuit will be required, with the

cut-off frequency set to fS/2 or less.

Burr-Brown Application Bulletin AB-034 provides infor-

mation for designing both Multiple Feedback and Sallen-

Key active filter circuits using software available from Burr-

Brown’s web site. Another excellent reference for both

passive and active filter design is the “Electronic Filter

Design Handbook, Third Edition” by Williams and Taylor,

published by McGraw-Hill.

ON-CHIP ANALOG FRONT END FOR THE ADC

The PCM3501 A/D converter includes a fully differential

input delta-sigma modulator. In order to simplify external

circuitry, an analog front end (AFE) circuit has been in-

cluded on the PCM3501 just prior to the modulator. The

AFE circuit is shown in Figure 21.
