PCM6260-Q1 Automotive 6-Channel Audio Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)

Author: EIS Release Date: Mar 22, 2021


Texas Instruments' ADC features integrated programmable mic bias, boost, and input diagnostics

Image of Texas Instruments' PCM6260-Q1 Automotive 6-Channel Audio ADCTexas Instruments' 6-channel PCM6260-Q1 is a high-performance audio ADC that supports analog input signals up to 10 VRMS. The PCM6260-Q1 supports line and microphone inputs and allows for single-ended and differential input configurations. The PCM6260-Q1 integrates an efficient boost converter to generate a high-voltage microphone bias using an external, low-voltage, 3.3 V supply.

The PCM6260-Q1 integrates programmable channel gain, digital volume control, a low-jitter phase-locked loop (PLL), a programmable high-pass filter (HPF), biquad filters, low-latency filter modes, and allows for sample rates up to 768 kHz. The PCM6260-Q1 supports time-division multiplexing (TDM), I2S, or left-justified (LJ) audio formats, and can be controlled with either the I2C or SPI interface. These integrated high-performance features and the single 3.3 V supply operation make the PCM6260-Q1 an excellent choice for space-constrained automotive systems.
