3 Description

The PCMD3180-Q1 is a high-performance, pulsedensity-

modulation (PDM) input to time-division

multiplexing (TDM) or I2S output converter that

supports simultaneous sampling of up to eight digital

channels for the PDM microphone input. The device

integrates programmable 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 768kHz. The device supports time-division

multiplexing (TDM), I2S, or left-justified (LJ) audio

formats, and can be controlled with either the I2C

or SPI interface. Additionally, the PCMD3180-Q1

supports controller and target mode selection for the

audio bus interface operation. These integrated highperformance

features, along with the ability to be

powered from a single-supply of 3.3V or 1.8V, make

the device an excellent choice for space-constrained

audio systems in far-field microphone recording

applications.

The PCMD3180-Q1 is specified from –40°C to 125°C

and is offered in a 24-pin WQFN package.
