Notes:
1. Ratio of output level with 1kHz full scale input, to the output level with all zeros into the digital input, measured ‘A’ weighted
over a 20Hz to 20kHz bandwidth.
2. All performance measurements done with 20kHz low pass filter, and where noted an A-weight filter. Failure to use such a
filter will result in higher THD and lower SNR and Dynamic Range readings than are found in the Electrical Characteristics.
The low pass filter removes out of band noise; although it is not audible it may affect dynamic specification values.
3. VMID pin decoupled with 10uF and 0.1uF capacitors (smaller values may result in reduced performance).
4. Power down occurs 1.5μs after MCLK is stopped.
5. Signal-to-noise ratio (dB) – SNR is a measure of the difference in level between the full scale output and the output with
no signal applied. (No Auto-zero or Automute function is employed in achieving these results).
