The PCM6020-Q1 is from a scalable PCM6xx0-Q1 family of devices. As with the extended family of devices, the PCM6020-Q1 consists of a high-performance, low-power, flexible, multichannel, audio analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with extensive feature integration. This device is intended for automotive applications such as vehicle cabin active noise cancellation, hands-free in-vehicle communication, emergency call, and multimedia applications. The high dynamic range of this device enables far-field audio recording with high fidelity. This device integrates a host of features that reduce cost, board space, and power consumption in space-constrained automotive sub-system designs. Package, performance, and device-compatible configuration registers make this device well suited for scalable system designs.

The PCM6020-Q1 consists of the following blocks:

• 2-channel, multibit, high-performance delta-sigma (ΔΣ) ADCs
• Configurable single-ended or differential audio inputs with high voltage signal swing
• High-voltage, low-noise programmable microphone bias output
• Highly flexible, comprehensive input fault diagnostic
• Automatic gain controller (AGC)
• Programmable decimation filters with linear-phase or low-latency filter
• Programmable channel gain, volume control, and biquad filters for each channel
• Programmable phase and gain calibration with fine resolution for each channel
• Programmable high-pass filter (HPF) and digital channel mixer
• Integrated low-jitter, phase-locked loop (PLL) supporting a wide range of system clocks
• Integrated digital and analog voltage regulators to support single-supply operation

Communication to the PCM6020-Q1 for configuring the control registers is supported using an I²C or SPI interface. The device supports a highly flexible audio serial interface [time-division multiplexing (TDM), I²S, or left-justified (LJ)] to transmit audio data seamlessly in the system across devices.

The device can support multiple devices by sharing the common I²C and TDM buses across devices. Moreover, the device includes a daisy-chain feature and a secondary audio serial output data pin. These features relax the shared TDM bus timing requirements and board design complexities when operating multiple devices for applications requiring high audio data bandwidth.
