PCM5101A: about sampling frequency

Guru 11170 points

Part Number: PCM5101A
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PCM5122, PCM5102EVM-U

Hello E2E,

I looked the table10 of datasheet.
Does this device able to set the sampling frequency at 125-kHz?

Regards,

  • Hi ACGUY,

    The device will try to auto detect is input clocks and auto configure its clock tree.  The device's auto configuration assumes clocks in >1x, 1x, 2x, 4x and 8x multiples of 44.1kHz and 48kHz.  As 125kHz is between groups of common frequencies, it might not resolve to the most ideal clock tree settings, which can result in degraded performance. 

    Instead, I recommend you look at the PCM5122.  This device has an SPI/I2C interface that allows the user to manually configure the clock tree, which let's it support many more input sample rates.

    Thanks,

    Paul

  • Hi Paul,

    Thank you for reply.

    >> which can result in degraded performance. 

    Currently, we trying the PCM5102EVM-U (changed 5102 to 5101).
    Input signal : 1kHz, 0dBFS
    Fs : 125kHz or 375kHz
    The EVM does not output.

    Am I making a mistake in the procedure?
    Or is it the performance of the device?

  • Hi ACGUY,

    What are frequencies are you using for the other signals?

    SCK=?

    BKC=?

    LRCK = 125kHz

    What format are you using for the data?

  • Hi Paul,

    The situation has changed, so I'll change the question.
    The analog output from the device has been realized. However, signal aliasing is added to the output frequency characteristics.
    Is this because the input to the device is different from the recommended value?

  • What signals are you seeing? This device does generate out-of-band noise.
