Texas Instruments PGA2500 Digitally Controlled Microphone Preamplifier Datasheet
The PGA2500 is a digitally controlled, analog microphone preamplifier designed for use as a front end for high-performance audio analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). It features a fully differential input-to-output architecture and a gain range of 10dB through 65dB in 1dB steps, with a unity gain setting available via a serial port or dedicated control pin.
The device includes a four-wire serial control port interface that supports daisy-chaining of multiple PGA2500 devices. Key features include zero crossing detection to minimize audible artifacts during gain switching, an integrated DC servo to minimize output offset voltage, and a common-mode servo to improve CMRR. The PGA2500 requires +5V and -5V power supplies and is available in an SSOP-28 package.
