PCM6020-Q1: Noise Issue. Even though the input line has been removed.

Part Number: PCM6020-Q1

Hello, Somebody help me.


I followed procedure in datasheet and set pcm6020 register like this. (i2c dump)

- Sleep -> Non sleep

- Power-up the ADC, MICBIAS, and PLL by writing P0_R117

- AC coupled, differential

and removed line (mic to input IN1P IN1M)

but There is still noise in the recorded file.

Should I change another register to remove noise?? 
Any other tips that aren't in the datasheet?

  • Hi Jonathan,

    If you have an FFT of the noise that would be the best way to demonstrate the problem. You mentioned you already followed the datasheet procedure. Make sure to also follow power supply sequencing and layout guidelines. The biggest thing I notice is that MICBIAS doesn't appear to be connected to the input pins (8.3.3). Without this common mode biasing the device will suffer from noise problems.

    Best regards,

    Jeff

  • Thank you for your guidance Jeff !

    I also think that the problem is the main cause.
    Could you please check if the following circuit design matches the settings in the guide(Datasheet 8.3.3) you gave me?

    AC-Couple, MIC1, 2

  • Hi Jonathan,

    R554 is not necessary and is not present in the Figure and the 100uF cap attached to MICBIAS doesn't need to be so large; 1uF should be fine. Also follow the External Resistor calculator that is attached in the datasheet in the same section to verify that the resistor pairs R533/R536 and R538/R539 yield the correct equivalent resistance.

    Best regards,

    Jeff
