4 PCM182xEVM /PCM182xQ1EVM Inputs
The PCM1820/PCM1820-Q1 device is intended to be driven with differential line or microphone inputs. Each
of the inputs has a 1-µF AC coupling film capacitor. Coupled with the 2.5-kΩ input impedance of PCM1820/
PCM1820-Q1 , this sets the high pass filter cutoff frequency at approximately 63-Hz. PCM1821/PCM1821-Q1
has an input impedance of 10-kΩ, setting the cutoff frequency at 16-Hz. This can be adjusted by replacing the
input AC coupling capacitors on the EVM if necessary.
shows the architecture of the inputs to the
evaluation module. The EVM supports a differential full scale input range of 2 VRMS with an AVDD of 3.3 V.
Please Note: PCM1822EVM/PCM1822Q1EVM is set up to support single ended inputs.

4.1 Onboard Microphone Inputs
PCM182x EVM/PCM182xQ1 EVM has two onboard differential microphones that can be routed to the inputs
with jumpers. The microphones require a bias be applied to MPWR. MPWR can be tied to AVDD on J4, or
to MICBIAS if using a device that supports this feature. Note that the PCM182x/PCM182x-Q1 do not have
an integrated MICBIAS and this option is provided for future devices that might incorporate this feature. The
following jumpers need to be installed to use the onboard mics: J4, J11,J12, J14, J15, J16, and J21.
If the onboard mics are used, leave the J1 and J2 headers unconnected to preserve the microphone
performance.
