Texas Instruments provides a recommended layout and routing guide in their application note SLAA701, which includes guidelines for PCB layout, component placement, and routing to minimize noise and ensure optimal performance.
TI provides a PCM3794ARHBR evaluation module (EVM) that can be used to evaluate the device's performance in a specific application. The EVM includes a user's guide that provides detailed information on how to optimize the device's performance.
The PCM3794ARHBR has a thermal pad that must be connected to a thermal plane on the PCB to ensure proper heat dissipation. The device's junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) is 24°C/W, and the maximum junction temperature (TJ) is 150°C.
TI provides a troubleshooting guide in their application note SLAA702, which includes a step-by-step guide to identifying and resolving common issues with the PCM3794ARHBR, such as noise, distortion, and clocking problems.
The PCM3794ARHBR requires a specific power sequencing to ensure proper operation. The device's power supplies (AVDD, DVDD, and PVDD) must be powered up in a specific sequence, and the clock signal must be stable before the device is enabled.
