15 Mono Audio Output
The on-board audio jack (J8) is driven by a Sallen-Key Butterworth Low-pass 4
th
Order Filter that provides mono
audio output. The circuit of the low pass filter is shown in Fig 29. The input of the filter (AUD_PWM) is connected
to the FPGA pin A11. A digital input will typically be a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal or pulse density
modulated (PDM) signal produced by the FPGA. The low pass filter on the input will act as a reconstruction filter to
convert the pulse width modulated digital signal into an analog voltage on the audio jack output.
The frequency response of SK Butterworth Low Pass Filter is shown in Fig 30. The AC analysis of the circuit is done
using NI Multism 12.0.
