Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PCM1822
Hi,
I have a design in which I've routed two single-ended audio lines into the INxP channels of the differential inputs on a PCM1821:s.
The reason for this design is that I want to convert the stereo audio from a source (e.g. a mixer, phone, etc.) into I2S data. See picture below.
From previous research in the TI forums, I found sources that this setup should be OK on similar devices. But now, I'm concerned that this design approach is wrong for PCM182x.
Reading this post crushes my hopes a bit: https://e2e.ti.com/support/audio-group/audio/f/audio-forum/1047244/pcm1821-are-single-ended-inputs-supported
If my approach is wong, what is the reason for this?
My intuition tells me that if the differential inputs are based only on a differential amplifier, a single-ended signal on the non-inverting input should yield an identical signal on the output.
Is there something about the PCM1821 circuitry that makes this setup impossible?
Very thankful for any help I can receive on this issue.
Best,
Max Borglowe
