Hi there, thanks for your question! Yes, the MCP3461 is able to be used for a DIY audio sampling project. It features differential input and a sample rate of up to 153.6 ksps, making it suitable for capturing high-quality audio signals. However, you will need to implement proper signal conditioning and anti-aliasing filters to ensure the best audio quality. Hope this helps!
@@MicrochipTechnology hi and thnx for the answer, what you mean with: proper signal conditioning? a Sallen Key Filter is easy to add. looking the datatsheet again you probably should use 2.5 V reference reference, right? how about the negative? i have seen more of these complex adc/dac "chips" and you don't try, scared that mess up with the differential input and it's ends up in the trash.
tons of noise in my 15x Sharp IR and my professor pushes me to just use software filter techniques, but I really want to just use analog I think it's more robust. What do you think?
Thanks for reaching out! Using analog filters can be more robust for reducing noise in your sensor. Analog filters, like RC filters, can effectively clean up the signal before it reaches the digital stage, making it easier to process. This can be particularly useful for eliminating high-frequency noise and interference, which might be harder to handle with software filters alone. Hope this helps!
Hi, is it possible to use the "MCP3461" 16 bit ADC for A DIY audio sampling project?
Since it has differential input, fairly high sample rate, cheap.
