PCM3168A: value of latency ?

Part Number: PCM3168A
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PCM1864

Team

Can you check the Analog-to-Analog latency of PCM3168A ?

My customer want to implement ANC(Active Noise Canceller) using TI DSP together and need to use low latency device.

If PCM3168A can't meet the competitor's specification, can you recommend right device ?

Competitor use 38us Analog-to-Analog latency in below.

  • Hi Danny,

    The group delay of the digital filters will account for almost all of the delay, This described in the data sheet as
    Group delay time (single) - 27 / fS sec
    Group delay time (dual) - 17 / fS sec

    The group delay is not really counted among the PCM3168a's strengths.

    The PCM1864 is a high performance ADC that is used in many ANC applications and it has considerably lower Group delay.
    PCM1864:
    Group delay time - 10 / fS sec.

    Depending on what the DACs are needed for, it may make sense to simply use this ADC and a Digital input Class D amplifier.

    best regards
