6.3.7.2 PDM Recording Signal-Chain

The figure below shows the key components of the PDM record path signal chain.
TAD5212-Q1 PDM Recording Signal-Chain Processing Flowchart Figure 6-60 PDM Recording Signal-Chain Processing Flowchart

The device supports up to four digital PDM microphone recording channels. The architecture has an integrated, high-performance multistage digital decimation filter sharply cuts off any out-of-band frequency noise with high stop-band attenuation.

The device also has an integrated programmable biquad filter that allows for custom low-pass, high-pass, or any other desired frequency shaping. The signal chain also consists of various highly programmable digital processing blocks such as phase calibration, gain calibration, high-pass filter, digital summer or mixer, biquad filters, synchronous sample rate converter, and volume control. The details of these processing blocks are discussed further in this section.

The desired input channels for recording can be enabled or disabled by using the CH_EN (P0_R118) register, and the output channels for the audio serial interface can be enabled or disabled by using the ASI_TX_CHx_CFG registers. In general, the device supports simultaneous power-up and power-down of all active channels for simultaneous recording. However, based on the application's needs, if some channels must be powered up or powered down dynamically when the other channel recording is on, then that use case is supported by setting the DYN_PUPD_CFG (P0_R119) register.

For sample rates of 48kHz or lower, the device supports all features and various programmable processing blocks. However, for sample rates higher than 48kHz, there are limitations in the number of simultaneous channel recordings and playback supported and the number of biquad filters and such. See the TAC5212 Sampling Rates and Programmable Processing Blocks Supported application report for further details.
