This section provides information on how to measure key dynamic performance parameters for the PCM1609A.

In all cases, a System Two™ Cascade audio measurement system by Audio Precision™ or equivalent is used to

perform the testing.

THD+N is a significant feature of merit for audio DACs, because it takes into account both harmonic distortion

and all noise sources within a specified measurement bandwidth. The true rms value of the distortion and noise

is referred to as THD+N. The test setup for THD+N measurements is shown in Figure 39.

There is little difference in measured THD+N when using the various settings for these filters.

Required for THD+N test

Figure 39. Test Setup for THD+N Measurements

For PCM1609A DACs, THD+N is measured with a full-scale 1-kHz digital sine wave as the test stimulus at the

input of the DAC. The digital generator is set to a 24-bit audio word length and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz

or 96 kHz. The digital generator output is taken from the unbalanced S/PDIF connector of the measurement

system. The S/PDIF data is transmitted via coaxial cable to the digital audio receiver on the DEM-DAI1602

demonstration board. The receiver is then configured to output 24-bit data in either I2S or left-justified data

format. The DAC audio interface format is programmed to match the receiver output format. The analog output is

then taken from the DAC post filter and connected to the analog analyzer input of the measurement system. The

analog input is band limited, using filters resident in the analyzer. The resulting THD+N is measured by the

analyzer and displayed by the measurement system.

Dynamic range is specified as A-weighted THD+N measured with a –60-dBFS 1-kHz digital sine-wave stimulus

at the input of the DAC. This measurement is designed to give a good indication of how the DAC performs, given

a low-level input signal.

The measurement setup for the dynamic range measurement is shown in Figure 40, and is similar to the THD+N

test setup discussed previously. The differences include the band-limit filter selection, the additional A-weighting

filter, and the –60-dBFS input level.
