THEORY OF OPERATION

ADC HIGH-PASS FILTER

DC offset can be removed by using the SSM2602 adjustable

digital high-pass filter (see Table 3 for characteristics).

Digital Filter Characteristics

The ADC and DAC employ separate digital filters.

AUTOMATIC LEVEL CONTROL (ALC)

Codec has an automatic level control that aims to keep a constant

recording volume irrespective of the input signal level. This is

achieved by continuously adjusting the PGA gain so that the

signal level at the ADC input remains constant. A digital peak

detector monitors the ADC output and changes the PGA gain if

necessary.

Decay (Gain Ramp-Up) Time

This is the time for the PGA gain to ramp up through 90% of its

range. The time for the recording level to return to its target value

therefore depends on both the decay time and the gain adjustment

required. If the gain adjustment is small, the time to return to

the target value will be less than the decay time.

Attack (Gain Ramp-Down) Time

This is the time for the PGA gain to ramp down through 90% of

its range. The time for the recording level to return to its target

value therefore depends on both the attack time and the gain

adjustment required. If the gain adjustment is small, the time

to return to the target value will be less than the attack time.
