Overview
The TAS3108EVM2 PurePath Digital™ customer evaluation amplifier module
demonstrates the digital audio processor TAS3108/TAS3108IA from Texas Instruments
(TI).
TAS3108DCP/TAS3108IADCP is a fully programmable high-performance audio
processor. It uses an efficient, custom, multi-instruction programming environment
optimized for digital audio processing algorithms. The TAS3108/TAS3108IA
architecture provides high-quality audio processing by using a 48-bit data path, 28-bit
filter coefficients, and a single-cycle 28 × 48-bit multiplier with a 76-bit accumulator. An
embedded 8051 microprocessor provides algorithm and data control for the
TAS3108/TAS3108IA. The TAS3108 is the commercial version, intended for home
audio and other commercial applications. The TAS3108IA is the automotive version
that is qualified for use in automotive applications. This EVM uses the TAS3108
version, and the active/passive parts used are not qualified for automotive use.
This EVM is delivered together with two boards: an input board with SPDIF, ACD, and
USB for PC control, and an output board with DACs and a SPDIF transmitter. This
system is a complete eight-channel digital audio processor system that includes digital
input/output (S/PDIF), analog inputs/outputs, interface to PC, and DAP features like
digital volume control, input and output mixers, auto mute, equalization, tone controls,
loudness, dynamic range compression, and surround effects.
The TAS3108 applications could be automotive sound systems, digital televisions,
home theater systems, mini-component audio systems, and pro-audio.
Replacing the DAC-DIT output board with one of the TI PurePath digital-amplifier EVMs
makes it possible to test the TAS3108 with a speaker connected directly. Examples of
EVMs that can be connected include, but are not limited to, TAS5508-5142K7EVM,
TAS5518-5152K8EVM, TAS5518-5182C8EVM2, and TAS5086-5186V6EVM. This
system is designed for home theater applications such as A/V receivers, DVD
mini-component systems, home theater in a box (HTIB), DVD receivers, or plasma
display panels (PDP).

2.3 Power Supply Setup
CAUTION
Applying voltages above the limitations given in the table above
may cause permanent damage to your hardware.
The TAS3108EVM2 is powered via the DAC8-DIT2 board or another output board, like a
TAS5086-5186EVM. The DAC8-DIT2 board generates a +5-V supply that is fed to the TAS3108EVM2.
The +5-V supply is further regulated to +3.3 V with the aid of a low-dropout linear regulator, U31.
Set the power supplies to ± 15 V, switch off the power supply, connect all cables to the EVM, and switch
on the power supply. Current consumption should be less than is shown in Table 2-1 . If it is higher, switch
off the power supply and double check the cabling.

FCC Warning
This evaluation board/kit is intended for use for ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATION, OR EVALUATION
PURPOSES ONLY and is not considered by TI to be a finished end-product fit for general consumer use. It generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and has not been tested for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to part 15
of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio frequency interference. Operation of this
equipment in other environments may cause interference with radio communications, in which case the user at his own expense
will be required to take whatever measures may be required to correct this interference.
EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS
It is important to operate this EVM within the range of 5-6V for the system supply.
Exceeding the specified input range may cause unexpected operation and/or irreversible damage to the EVM. If there are
questions concerning the input range, please contact a TI field representative prior to connecting the input power.
Applying loads outside of the specified output range may result in unintended operation and/or possible permanent damage to the
EVM. Please consult the EVM User's Guide prior to connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load
specification, please contact a TI field representative.
During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than 75 ° C. The EVM is designed to
operate properly with certain components above 75 ° C as long as the input and output ranges are maintained. These components
include but are not limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors. These types of
devices can be identified using the EVM schematic located in the EVM User's Guide. When placing measurement probes near
these devices during operation, please be aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch.
