3 Description
The PCMD3140-Q1 is a high-performance, pulse-
density-modulation (PDM) input to time-division
multiplexing (TDM) or I
2
S output converter that
supports simultaneous sampling of up to four
digital channels for the PDM microphone input.
The device integrates programable digital volume
control, a microphone bias voltage, a phase-locked
loop (PLL), a programmable high-pass filter (HPF),
biquad filters, low-latency filter modes, and allows
for output sample rates up to 768 kHz. The device
supports time-division multiplexing (TDM), I
2
S, or left-
justified (LJ) audio formats, and can be controlled
with the I
2
C interface. Additionally, the PCMD3140-
Q1 supports master and slave mode selection for
the audio bus interface operation. These integrated
high-performance features, along with the ability to
be powered from a single-supply of 3.3 V or 1.8
V, make the device an excellent choice for space-
constrained audio systems in far-field microphone
recording applications.
The PCMD3140-Q1 is specified from –40°C to
+125°C, and is offered in a 20-pin WQFN package.
