1 Introduction
The PCM182xEVM/ PCM182xQ1EVM is an evaluation module (EVM) designed to demonstrate the performance
and functionality of the PCM182x / PCM182x-Q1 device. The devices covered are PCM1820/PCM1821/
PCM1822/PCM1820-Q1/PCM1821-Q1/PCM1822-Q1.The PCM182x/ PCM182x-Q1 is a high-performance audio
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that is configured through logic-level mode selection pins and does not require
a digital interface such as I2C or SPI to configure registers. As such, no software is necessary to interface with
the EVM. The EVM is powered with a single 5-V supply. Access to the converter output is provided on the audio
serial interface in I2S or TDM format.
2 Power Supply
The PCM182xEVM/PCM182xQ1EVM can be powered with a single 5-V power supply connected to J6. Onboard
low dropout regulators convert the 5-V supply to the 3.3-V and 1.8-V rails used by the ADC. The analog supply,
AVDD, is fixed at 3.3 V. The digital supply, IOVDD, can be set to either 1.8 V or 3.3 V with J5. It is also possible
to power the ADC directly by removing J9 and J5 and applying a voltage directly to the AVDD and IOVDD test
points. Note that if this is done, it is important to keep J10 populated (or ensure there is a path between the pins
if the supply current is being monitored) as this jumper connects the applied IOVDD to the mode selection pins
and other circuitry that relies on IOVDD.
