APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
Figure 31. Single-Supply PCB Layout
The delta-sigma section of the PCM1742 is based on an 8-level amplitude quantizer and a fourth-order noise
shaper. This section converts the oversampled input data to 8-level delta-sigma format. A block diagram of the
8-level delta-sigma modulator is shown in Figure 32 . This 8-level delta-sigma modulator has the advantage of
stability and clock jitter sensitivity over the typical one-bit (2-level) delta-sigma modulator. The combined
oversampling rate of the delta-sigma modulator and the interpolation filter is 64 f
S
.
The theoretical quantization noise performance of the 8-level delta-sigma modulator is shown in Figure 33 . The
enhanced multilevel delta-sigma architecture also has advantages for input clock-jitter sensitivity due to the
multilevel quantizer, with the simulated jitter sensitivity, as shown in Figure 34 .
