Summary

Many applications in consumer and industrial markets involve the digitizing of microphone signals. Microphone systems today must detect a range of field sounds from quite and far to loud and near. Such a wide range of field sounds demands a system with a high dynamic range. This application note showcases the functionality of the analog input of the TLV320ADCX120/PCMX120 families while also discussing design considerations for choosing a microphone and associated application circuits to create a high performance microphone front-end.
