It is important to operate this EVM with a maximum input supply voltage not exceeding 4 V.
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
30°C. The EVM is designed to operate properly with certain components above 40°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.

Digital Interface
The digital signals required to operate this codec originate from the 40-pin
connector—J21. There are two methods to drive the digital interface:
- Create a custom interface between the codec EVM and the host system.
- Alternatively, if a TI DSK (DSP starter kit) is the host system, a develop-
ment platform (AICDEVPLAT EVM) is available from TI. This platform provides the additional functions that the codec requires in a convenient form
factor.
The TLV320AIC20K and 24K mate with the development platform via a 40-pin
Samtec connector. The mating connector (Samtec part number,
TSM-120-01-T-DV-P) is used on the development platform to provide the
electrical connections necessary. Consult Samtec at www.samtec.com
1−800−SAMTEC−9 for more information.
The pinout for the 40-pin connector is listed in Table 2−1.

The development platform supports a number of functions that the codecs
require. These are:
- MCLK generation
- Manual reset generation
- Power options
Refer to the DSP − Codec Development Platform User’s Guide (TI Literature
Number SLAU090) for details regarding the development platform.

2.2Jumper Options
There are eight jumpers on the board that can be configured in various ways,
depending upon the user’s requirements. Their functions are briefly presented
in Table 2−2:

from the regular analog ground
codec or providing relevant polarity
Since the EVM contains two codecs, there a variety of options available to the
user:
- Stand-alone slave codec
- Single master codec
- Master/slave cascade
Note that the terms master and slave refer to the codec device itself. Keep in
mind that each of these codecs contains two independent channels connected
together internally. Thus any codec configuration described in this guide
actually comprises two individual codecs chained together and performing as
one unit.
Each of these options are discussed in the following sections.
2.2.1Stand-Alone Slave
This configuration applies to EVM1 only. When a single codec is to be used
in slave mode, U1 is always the slave codec. Follow the jumper settings
detailed in Table 2−3 for this condition.

EVM Operation
The EVM is shipped from the factory in master/slave cascade mode. To check
if the EVM is working properly, simply install the EVM onto the development
platform and apply power to the DSK. The EVM should begin working
immediately.
In the default mode, the codecs recognize that there are four discrete
channels, consequently the resultant SCLK and FS signals transmitted by the
master codec adjust automatically based on the available MCLK.
It is now possible to calculate what should be observed after power up by
calculating what FS and SCLK should be observed:
- FS
J In this example, MCLK is generated by the development platform and
is equal to 100 MHz.
J FS = MCLK/16 × m × n × p
J Default values for m, n, and p are 16, 6, and 8 respectively
J FS = 100×10
J FS = 8138 kHz
- SCLK
J SCLK = 16 × FS × (number of devices) × 2
J SCLK = 16 × 8138 × 4 × 2
J SCLK = 1.04 MHz
FS can be observed either directly at the FS pin of U1 or U2 (pin 19) or on the
development platform at TP9. SCLK can be observed easily at P1 pin 3 of the
EVM or on the development platform at TP8.
