7.3.7 Signal-Chain Processing

The PCM1840 signal chain is comprised of very-low-noise, high-performance, and low-power analog blocks and highly flexible and programmable digital processing blocks. The high performance and flexibility combined with a compact package makes the PCM1840 optimized for a variety of end-equipments and applications that require multichannel audio capture. Figure 22 shows a conceptual block diagram that highlights the various building blocks used in the signal chain, and how the blocks interact in the signal chain.

The front-end dynamic range enhancer (DRE) gain amplifier is very low noise, with a 123-dB dynamic range performance. Along with a low-noise and low-distortion, multibit, delta-sigma ADC, the front-end DRE gain amplifier enables the PCM1840 to record a far-field audio signal with very high fidelity, both in quiet and loud environments. Moreover, the ADC architecture has inherent antialias filtering with a high rejection of out-of-band frequency noise around multiple modulator frequency components. Therefore, the device prevents noise from aliasing into the audio band during ADC sampling. Further on in the signal chain, an integrated, high-performance multistage digital decimation filter sharply cuts off any out-of-band frequency noise with high stop-band attenuation.

The device supports an input signal bandwidth up to 80 kHz, which allows the high-frequency non-audio signal to be recorded by using a 176.4-kHz (or higher) sample rate.
