Δ Σ DACs use noise-shaping techniques to improve in-band signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance at the
expense of generating increased out-of-band noise above the Nyquist frequency, or f
S
/2. The out-of-band noise
must be low-pass filtered in order to provide optimal converter performance. This filtering is accomplished by a
combination of on-chip and external low-pass filters.
Figure 41 and Figure 42 show the recommended external differential-to-single-ended converter with low-pass
active filter circuits for ac-coupled and dc-coupled applications. These circuits are second-order Butterworth
filters using a multiple feedback (MFB) circuit arrangement that reduces sensitivity to passive component
variations over frequency and temperature. For more information regarding MFB active filter designs, please
refer to Applications Bulletin SBAA055 , Dynamic Performance Testing of Digital Audio D/A Converters, available
from the TI web site (www.ti.com ) or the local Texas Instruments' sales office.
Because the overall system performance is defined by the quality of the DACs and the associated analog output
circuitry, high-quality audio op amps are recommended for the active filters. Texas Instruments ’ OPA2134 ,
OPA2353 , and NE5532A dual op amps are shown in Figure 41 and Figure 42 , and are recommended for use
with the PCM1690.
