Texas Instruments PCM5140-Q1 Audio ADCs

Texas Instruments PCM5140-Q1 Audio ADCs are multichannel high-performance ADCs with Burr-Brown™ technology. These ADCs feature an 8kHz to 768kHz sample rate and 120dB Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). The PCM5140-Q1 audio ADCs support line and microphone inputs, allowing single-ended and differential input configurations. These ADCs integrate programmable channel gain, digital volume control, microphone bias voltage, Phase-Locked Loop (PLL), programmable high-pass filter, biquad filters, and low-latency filter modes. The PCM5140-Q1 devices are AEC-qualified for automotive applications.

The PCM5140-Q1 Audio ADCs are integrated with high-performance features and can be powered from a supply of 3.3V or 1.8V. This makes the device excellent for space-constrained audio systems in far-field microphone recording applications. These audio ADCs operate from -40°C to 125°C temperature range and come in a 24-pin VQFN package. The PCM5140-Q1 audio ADCs microphone array systems, voice-activated digital assistants, teleconferencing systems, and security and surveillance systems.
