3 Description
The PCM6140-Q1 is a Burr-Brown™ highperformance,
audio analog-to-digital converter (ADC)
that supports simultaneous sampling of up to four
analog channelsor eight digital channels for the pulse
density modulation (PDM) microphone input. The
device supports line and microphone inputs, and
allows for both single-ended and differential input
configurations. The device integrates programable
channel gain, digital volume control, a programmable
microphone bias voltage, a phase-locked loop (PLL),
a programmable high-pass filter (HPF), biquad filters,
low-latency filter modes, and allows for sample
rates up to 768kHz , and allows for sample rates
up to 192kHz. The device supports time-division
multiplexing (TDM), I2S, or left-justified (LJ) audio
formats, and can be controlled with either the I2C
or SPI. These integrated high-performance features,
along with the ability to be powered from a singlesupply
of 3.3V or 1.8V, make the device an excellent
choice for space-constrained audio systems in farfield
microphone recording applications.
The PCM6140-Q1 is specified from –40°C to +125°C,
and is offered in a 24-pin VQFN package.
