Output Level Adjustment

To correctly adjust the 8920ADC for your digital application, determine
your maximum operating level and set the Coarse Level gain jumpers as
described below. This is the level above which digital clipping occurs.

Example Maximum Operating Level Setting

+24 dBu is a common maximum level. Using +24 dBu as the maximum
level, refer to

Table 4 on page 9

to select the lowest input level range that

includes the maximum level of +24 dBu. Select the Coarse Level Setting pin
4 to 5 jumper setting (refer to

Figure 5

) because it is the highest level sup-

ported by that range and requires the least amount of gain to bring +24 dBu
up to 0.0 dBFS level. This will give the best signal-to-noise ratio that the
system can deliver.
