yikes, what is this mcic^5 ?
Yep, it's the gain for +1 / -1 PDM bits in CIC decimator part. It's needed to set the scaling HW shifter. It also gives some idea of oversampling ratios to use for a microphone to get some # of bits of resolution as PCM code.
I meant: where does this ^5 come from? First time i see this sort of formula in filter design.
I see now -- There's a 5th order integrator-comb filter as 1st decimation filter stage for the PDM bits. Wikipedia has nowadays everything:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascaded_integrator%E2%80%93comb_filter
The high DC gain is caused by the integration part. The 1st equation with the Sigma statement shows the transfer function. By setting R=mcic, N=5, omega = 0 the same DC gain formula that I used is achieved.
Do I get this right that this 5 figure is hardware-related and used to figure out the compensation that needs to happens in additional FIR-based processing?
