EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS

It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of 0–1.5 V and the output
voltage range of 0 V and 3.6 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
50°C. The EVM is designed to operate properly with certain components above 50°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.

Introduction

The TL V320AIC23 EVM2 is designed to demonstrate the TLV320AIC23 codec
or TLV320DAC23 DAC. With the use of the DAREF106R2 parallel port
interface board, the user can control the EVM with a PC. The supplied software
allows the user to change items such as volume, sample rate, power-down
modes, and audio format on the fly . The user can also change the path of the
audio using the GUI. The user can view all the registers and their values and
change the values using the GUI. T o accommodate the various sample rates,
the EVM has a crystal socket allowing the user to change the MASTER
CLOCK frequency. For inputs, a MIC jack and a LINEIN jack (stereo and
LEFT/RIGHT) are available on the EVM. For outputs, HEADPHONE and
LINEOUT (stereo and LEFT/RIGHT) are available on the EVM. Using the GUI
interface, the user can change between USB and NORMAL modes, allowing
various oversampling rates.

The user can choose from several configurations to evaluate the AIC23
product. Using the digital loopback option, the user can input an analog signal
(i.e., CD), perform ADC conversions, and then route the digital result into the
DAC and send the resulting analog signal to LINEOUT or HEADPHONE,
completing the loopback operation. Also available are configurations to
perform RECORD (ADC) and PLAYBACK (DAC) operations.

The AIC23 and DAC23 can be configured for bypass mode and sidetone
mode.

Chapter 2

Quick Start-Up

This section explains to the user how to set up the TL V320AIC23 EVM2 quickly
and hear audio using digital loopback.

1) Set the jumpers for the appropriate conditions as explained in Section 3.2

2) Power up the AIC23 (PJ1) per Section 3.3

3) Connect audio source (e.g., CD player) LINEIN (J1).

4) Connect speaker or headphone to J4.

5) Connect the parallel port interface board to the PC parallel port and, via
the supplied cable, the miniDIN 8-pin jack, J5.

6) Run DASCCT_AIC23 from your PC.

7) When the GUI appears, select the AIC23 radio button (upper left-hand
corner), and check the Dig Loopback check box (bottom, left of center).

8) Audio will be heard from the speakers or headphones.

9) Adjust the volume, using either the HeadPhone Volume or Line Input
Volume controls.
