Part Number: PCM1808-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PCM1808

Hi team,

I asked about center voltage input range and got answer as it is Vref range.

But I found following thread explaining it us not Vref tolerance.

https://e2e.ti.com/support/audio-group/audio/f/audio-forum/1042724/pcm1808-q1-about-center-voltage-input-range

Could you give me a clear definition of the "Center voltage input range" in PCM1808-Q1 datasheet?

I would like to know if input signal below 0.2Vccc or above 0.8Vcc input to the device.

Hi,

the PCM1808 can be used in two input configurations.

1) DC blocking capacitor in series with the input - In this case the device self biases the inputs at Vref (0.5Vcc)

2) No DC blocking caps on the input - In this case the input pins need to be biased at a center voltage(externally) within the range 0.2Vcc -> 0.8Vcc.

If the center voltage on the input pins is outside of the specified range (0.2 Vcc - 0.8 Vcc) I suspect the front end amplifier would be in a non-linear region, and that THD+N performance would be worse.

Regards,
Arthur

Hi Arthur,

Vcc=5.0V, center voltage is biased externally to 0.2*Vcc=1V.

In this case, 0.6*Vcc=3.0Vpp exceeds the analog input range of the device, correct?

Input can be rail to rail?

Hi Shinji,

Yes, regardless of the center voltage, the maximum analog input voltage should not be exceeded

Arthur
