PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET
General Description
The AS3510 combines high flexibility and outstanding
performance for analog audio front-end solutions.
This codec-chip contains a high performance 18 bit digital
to analog converter. The dynamic range exceeds 95dB for
best audio quality, for multi media applications (audio
playback) within battery or line operated equipment.
An additional audio power amplifier can directly drive
external headphones or small 4Ω speakers with a power of
up to half a watt. The power-up is click- and pop-less due to
a smooth start-up circuitry. The overall distortion level is
always below 0.02%.
The microphone input amplifier contains an automatic gain
control (AGC) with a dynamic range of 40dB to generate an
amplified and compressed signal for the ADC, which
provides 14 Bit resolution at 8kHz sampling-rate.
Furthermore all necessary power management is included
such as bandgap reference and four voltage regulators. The
two 2.9V regulators are used internally (analog and digital
supply), but can also be used for external purposes as well.
The third output is designed to supply the peripheral cells
and an external digital core, and is programmable from 1.5V
to 2.5V in 5 steps (default is 2.5V). They are all powered
through a DCDC-Converter, which can work down to a
voltage of 1V. So the whole chip can work from a single
battery cell.
The fourth regulator is only used for generating the supply
voltage for the analog USB 1.1 interface circuit. It is
supplied via the USB connector. The performance of the
regulators is excellent (noise, line- and load-regulation) and
allows the direct supply of sensitive analog circuits.
Because of the internal supply and signal filtering only few
small external capacitors are required for de-coupling and
stabilising and lead to very low output noise.
The current consumption is very low and makes the chip
ideally for battery powered devices.
