1.2Introduction
The TLV320AIC3109EVM-K is a complete evaluation and demonstration kit, which includes the
TLV320AIC3109EVM and a USB-based motherboard called the USB-MODEVM Interface board. The
TLV320AIC3109EVM-K is operational with one USB cable connection to a personal computer. The USB
connection provides power, control, and streaming audio data to the EVM kit for reduced setup and
configuration. The EVM kit also provides connection points for control signals, audio data, and power for
advanced operation, which allows prototyping and connection to the end-user system evaluation. The
TLV320AIC3109EVM-K is controlled and configured with the TLV320AIC310xEVM-K Graphical User
Interface (GUI) Software, compatible with Microsoft®Windows®operating systems.
EVM Overview
1.2.1TLV320AIC3109EVM-K Block Diagram
The TLV320AIC3109EVM consists of two separate circuit boards, the USB-MODEVM and the
TLV320AIC3109EVM. The USB-MODEVM is built around a TAS1020B streaming audio USB controller
with an 8051-based core.
The USB-MODEVM has two EVM positions that allow for the connection of two small evaluation modules
or one larger evaluation module. The TLV320AIC3109EVM is designed to fit over both of the smaller
evaluation module slots as shown in Figure 1.
The TLV320AIC3109EVM showcases the latest Texas Instruments (TI) mono audio codec, the
TLV320AIC3109-Q1 (U3). The TLV320AIC3109-Q1 device is a low-power mono audio codec with a mono
headphone amplifier and multiple input and output channels that are programmable in single-ended or
fully differential configurations.
The EVM offers different test points, terminals and headers used to evaluate, test and configure the
TLV320AIC3109 audio codec in the board. The layout of the board separates analog and digital sections
all layers; the analog input and outputs, and analog power supply regulator are located in the left side of
the board, while the right side of the board has all the digital signals, like the I²C lines, digital audio signals
and onboard EEPROM. Ground planes for both analog and digital grounds are separated, but two
common connection points are available through headers J28 and J29. The EVM was designed following
the layout recommendations from TLV320AIC3109-Q1 Automotive, Low-Power, 96-kHz, Mono Audio
Codec. Several connectors at the edge of the board provide access to the different inputs and outputs of
the device. Options to evaluate special features, such as capless headphone configuration and internal
mic bias generation are also available. Power, digital audio data, and digital connection for the
configuration and control of the device is provided by the USB-MODEVM board. The Figure 2 shows the
TLV320AIC3109EVM board.
The USB-MODEVM board is a motherboard used to configure, control, and provide an interface between
a computer and evaluation modules with TI modular EVM form factor. The simple diagram shown in
Figure 1 shows only the basic features of the USB-MODEVM Interface board. The USB-MODEVM
Interface board is intended to be used in USB mode, where control of the installed EVM is accomplished
using the onboard USB controller device, the TAS1020B. Provision is made, however, for driving all the
data buses (I2C, SPI™, I2S/AC97) externally. The source of these signals is controlled by SW2 on the
USB-MODEVM. Refer to Table 3 for details on the switch settings.
Because the TLV320AIC3109EVM is a double-wide modular EVM, it is installed with connections to both
EVM positions, which connects the TLV320AIC3109-Q1 digital interface to the I2C control port and audio
interface of the TAS1020B.
In the factory configuration, the board is ready to use with the TLV320AIC3109EVM. To view all the
functions and configuration options available on the USB-MODEVM board, see the USB-MODEVM
Interface Board schematic in Appendix E.
This section provides information on the analog input and output, digital control, power and general
connection of the TLV320AIC3109EVM-K.

The analog inputs to the EVM can be connected through two different methods. The analog input sources
can be applied directly to J1 (top or bottom side) or through the analog headers (J10, J13, and J9) around
the edge of the board. The connection details of each header and connector are found in Appendix A.
The TLV320AIC3109EVM provides a header in parallel with the input capacitors of each one of the IN1
and IN2 inputs; these headers are provided so end-user can configure the device for DC measurement.
Refer to TLV320AIC3109-Q1 Automotive, Low-Power, 96-kHz, Mono Audio Codec for details on the line
input specifications.
In addition to the IN1 and IN2 line input connectors, the EVM features an onboard microphone and a
mono jack for an external microphone, both connected to IN1P input. When the onboard microphone is
used, header J8 must be shorted and J9 should not be connected. Similarly, when external mic is used,
J8 should be disconnected. Both microphones are biased to the MICBIASIN bias signal, that can be
selected with header J7 from either internal mic bias of the audio codec or an external source connected
to J6. Details about the location of the analog inputs of the TLV320AIC3109EVM are shown in Figure 4.
2.2.2Analog Output
The analog outputs to the EVM can be connected through two different methods. The analog outputs are
available from the J1 and J2 (top or bottom) or they may be accessed through J16, J17, J20, and J21 at
the edges of the board. The connection details can be found in Appendix A.
The line outputs of the TLV320AIC3109-Q1 include the recommended low pass filter to remove the out-ofband noise that can affect the performance of the receiver device. The headphone output of the EVM
includes a low pas filter used for test equipment measurement, available in HPCOM_LPF and
HPOUT_LPF test points. Headers J18 and J19 are used to bypass the AC-coupling capacitors of the
headphone output so the headphone output terminal can be used in Capless mode. In addition to the
headphone output terminal, a mono jack connector (J16) is included to connect a mono headphone with a
typical 3.5mm connector. This jack can be configured to support either AC-Couple or Capless mode by
changing the position of switch SW1. The selection on the headphone output mode should match with the
configuration of the audio codec. Refer to section Section 4.9 for more details on the headphone output
mode configuration. The analog output section of the EVM is shown in Figure 4.
The digital inputs and outputs of the EVM can be monitored through J4 and J5. If external signals need to
be connected to the EVM, digital inputs should be connected via J14 and J15 on the USB-MODEVM and
the SW2 in the motherboard switch should be changed accordingly (see Section 2.1.2). The connector
details are available in Section A.2.
The EVM features test points to directly measure the digital audio signals coming from the USB-MODEVM
board. Additionally, test points are provided to monitor the I²C control signals. A header to connect the
RESET pin of the codec with hardware reset signal from the motherboard is provided. This is useful so the
user can perform a hardware reset for the audio codec from the GUI without any board modification. The
digital section of the TLV320AIC3109EVM is shown in Figure 5.

2.4Power Connections
The TLV320AIC3109EVM requires three power supplies to fully evaluate the audio codec:
•+5-V power supply, required to generate +3.3-V supply from the integrated low-dropout voltage
regulator (U1) to feed analog power supplies of the codec (AVDD and DRVDD).
•+1.8-V power supply, required to feed the digital core voltage supply (DVDD) and digital input and
output voltage supply (IOVDD) of the codec. The selection for the digital input and output voltage
(IOVDD) is made via IOVDD SEL header (J22).
•+3.3-V power supply, required for digital input and output voltage supply (IOVDD) of the codec.
The EVM can be powered by external power supplies when being used in stand-alone operation or by the
USB-MODEVM when it is plugged onto the motherboard. The following sections discuss each operation
mode.
When used as a stand-alone EVM, power is applied to J3 directly, making sure to reference the supplies
to the appropriate grounds on that connector. The diagram for the power supplies required for stand-alone
operation mode are shown in Figure 6.
Verify that all power supplies are within the safe operating limits shown in
J3 provides connection to the common power bus for the TLV320AIC3109EVM. Power is supplied on the
pins listed in Table 9.
EVM Description and Basics
CAUTION
Figure 6. Power Supplies for Stand-Alone Operation
2.4.2USB-MODEVM Operation
The USB-MODEVM Interface board can be powered from several different sources:
•USB
•6-Vdc to 10-Vdc AC/DC external wall supply (not included)
•Lab power supply
When powered from the USB connection, JMP6 should have a shunt from pins 1–2 (this is the default
factory configuration). When powered from 6-V to 10-Vdc, either through the J8 terminal block or J9 barrel
jack, JMP6 should have a shunt installed on pins 2–3. If power is applied in any of these ways, onboard
regulators generate the required supply voltages and no further power supplies are necessary.
If laboratory supplies are used to provide the individual voltages required by the USB-MODEVM Interface,
JMP6 should have no shunt installed. Voltages are then applied to J2 (+5 VA), J3 (+5 VD), J4 (+1.8 VD),
and J5 (+3.3 VD). The +1.8 VD and +3.3 VD can also be generated on the board by the onboard
regulators from the +5 VD supply; to enable this configuration, the switches on SW1 need to be set to
enable the regulators by placing them in the ON position (lower position, looking at the board with text
reading right-side up). If +1.8 VD and +3.3 VD are supplied externally, disable the onboard regulators by
placing SW1 switches in the OFF position.
Each power supply voltage has an LED (D1–D7) that lights when the power supplies are active.
The following section provides information on using the TLV320AIC3109EVM-K, including set up, program
installation, and program usage.
NOTE: If using the EVM in stand-alone mode, the software should be installed per Section 3.1, but
the hardware configuration may be different.
3.1Software Installation
1. Download the latest version of the TLV320AIC310xEVM-K GUI.
2. Unzip the installation file by clicking on the self-extracting zip file.
3. Install the EVM software by double-clicking the Setup executable and follow the directions. The user
may be prompted to restart their computer.
4. Install the most up-to-date version of National Instrument’s VISA™ drivers.
5. For Windows 7 and above operating systems, download and install the USB-MODEVM Windows
XP/Vista/7 Drivers.
3.2EVM Connections
1. Ensure that the TLV320AIC3109EVM is installed on the USB-MODEVM Interface board, aligning J1,
J2, J3, J4, and J5 with the corresponding connectors on the USB-MODEVM.
2. Verify that the jumpers and switches are in their default conditions.
3. Attach a USB cable from the PC to the USB-MODEVM Interface board. The default configuration will
provide power, control signals, and streaming audio via the USB interface from the PC. On the USBMODEVM, LEDs D3–5 and D7 should light to indicate the power is being supplied from the USB.
4. For the first connection, the PC should recognize new hardware and begin an initialization process.
The user may be prompted to identify the location of the drivers or allow the PC to automatically
search for them. Allow the automatic detection option.
5. Once the PC confirms that the hardware is operational, D2 on the USB-MODEVM should light to
indicate that the firmware has been loaded and the EVM is ready for use. If the LED is not lit, verify
that the drivers were installed by trying to unplug and restart at Step 3. If further problems are found,
please refer to the TLV320AIC3xEVM-PDK Series Troubleshooting Guide.
After the TLV320AIC3109EVM software installation is complete, evaluation and development with the
TLV320AIC3109EVM-K can begin.
The TLV320AIC3109-Q1 audio codec is a mono version of the TLV320AIC3104 device, so the
configuration and control of the TLV320AIC3109EVM is made using the TLV320AIC3104EVM software.
Some features of the TLV320AIC3104EVM GUI will not be available for the TLV320AIC3109EVM,
detailed information about these features are included in the following sections. As the GUI is adapted for
the TLV320AIC3104 device, the names for the signal and internal channels are not the same in some
cases for the TLV320AIC3109. In general, the single channel of the TLV320AIC3109-Q1 corresponds to
the left channel of the TLV320AIC3104, being the only exception the single headphone output, that
corresponds to the right headphone output of the TLV320AIC3104. Table 5 indicates the relationship
between the GUI and TLV320AIC3109-Q1 signal and internal block names.

TI recommends using only the features mentioned in this user's guide for the evaluation of the
TLV320AIC3109-Q1 audio codec; otherwise, the device could present unexpected behavior.
The following section discusses the details and operation of the EVM software.
NOTE: For codec configuration, the TLV320AIC3109-Q1 block diagram located in TLV320AIC3109-
Q1 Automotive, Low-Power, 96-kHz, Mono Audio Codec is a good reference to help
determine the signal routing.
4.1Device Selection for Operation With TLV320AIC3109EVM
The software that is installed provides operation for several devices of the TLV320AIC310X family of
audio codecs. An initial window should appear that looks like Figure 7. For operation with the
TLV320AIC3109EVM, the user should select AIC3104 from the pull-down menu and click Accept. The
program will take a few seconds to configure the software for operation before proceeding. A progress bar
should appear and show the status of the configuration.
Once the device is properly configured, the main window of the TV320AIC310x GUI appears. Figure 8
shows the default screen of the GUI. The sections that are shaded in the following captures of the
TLV320AIC3104 GUI are not available for the TLV320AIC3109-Q1 evaluation. TI recommends not
changing any of the parameters in these sections, otherwise, the performance and behavior of the device
cannot be assured.
Figure 8 illustrates the main screen of the EVM software. The indicators and buttons located above the
tabbed section of the front page are visible regardless of which tab is currently being selected.
NOTE: All the indicators corresponding to unused blocks of the TLV320AIC3109-Q1 should be
ignored. Refer to Table 5 for more information about the unused sections.
At the top left of the screen is an Interface indicator. This indicator shows which interface is selected for
controlling the TLV320AIC3109-Q1, only I2C is available for this device.
To the right of the Interface indicator is a group box called Firmware. This box indicates where the
firmware being used is operating from – in this release, the firmware is on the USB-MODEVM, so the user
should see USB-MODEVM in the box labeled Located On:. The version of the firmware appears in the
Version box below the Located On: box.
To the right, the next group box contains controls for resetting the TLV320AIC3109-Q1. A software reset
can be done by writing to a register in the TLV320AIC3109-Q1, and this is accomplished by pushing the
button labeled Software Reset. The TLV320AIC3109-Q1 also may be reset by toggling a pin on the
TLV320AIC3109-Q1, which is done by pushing the Hardware Reset button.
In order to perform a hardware reset, the RESET jumper (JMP19) must be
installed and SW2–7 on the USB-MODEVM must be turned OFF. Failure to do
either of these steps results in not generating a hardware reset or causing
unstable operation of the EVM, which may require cycling power to the USBMODEVM.
TLV320AIC3109EVM Software
CAUTION
Below the Firmware box, the Device Connected LED should be green when the EVM is connected. If the
indicator is red, the EVM is not properly connected to the PC. Disconnect the EVM and verify that the
drivers were correctly installed, then reconnect; if it does not work, try restarting the software.
On the upper right portion of the screen, several indicators are located which provide the status of various
portions of the TLV320AIC3109-Q1. These indicators are activated by pressing the Indicator Updates
button below the Device Connected LED. These indicators, as well as the other indicators on this panel,
are updated only when the front panel of the software is inactive, once every 20 ms.
The ADC Overflow and DAC Overflow indicators light when the overflow flags are set in the
TLV320AIC3109-Q1. Below these indicators are the AGC Noise Threshold Exceeded indicators that
show when the AGC noise threshold is exceeded. To the far right of the screen, the Short Circuit Detect
indicators show when a short-circuit condition is detected, if this feature has been enabled. Below the
short-circuit indicators, the AGC Gain Applied indicators use a bar graph to show the amount of gain
which has been applied by the AGC, and indicators that light when the AGC is saturated.
The Audio Input/ADC tab allows control of the analog input mixer and the ADC. The controls are
displayed to look similar to an audio mixing console, as shown in Figure 9. Each analog input channel has
a vertical strip that corresponds to that channel. By default, all inputs are muted when the
TLV320AIC3109EVM is powered up.
www.ti.com
Figure 9. Audio Input and ADC Tab
To route an analog input to the ADC:
1. Select the Input Mode button to correctly show if the input signal is single-ended (SE) or fullydifferential (Diff). Inputs that are single-ended should be made to the positive signal terminal.
2. Click on the button of the analog input channel that corresponds to the correct ADC. The caption of the
button should change to Active.
3. Adjust the Level control to the desired attenuation for the connected channel. This level adjustment
can be done independently for each connection.
The TLV320AIC3109-Q1 offers a programmable microphone bias that can either be powered down or set
to 2 V, 2.5 V, or the power supply voltage of the ADC (AVDD_ADC). Control of the microphone bias (mic
bias) voltage is accomplished by using the Mic Bias pull-down menu button above the last two channel
strips. To use the onboard microphone, J8 must be installed and nothing should be plugged into J9. In
order for the mic bias settings in the software to take effect, J7 should be set to connect positions 2 and 3
(INT), so that mic bias is controlled by the TLV320AIC3109-Q1.
In the upper right portion of this tab are controls for Weak Common Mode Bias. Enabling these controls
will result in unselected inputs to the ADC to be weakly biased to the ADC common mode voltage.
Below these controls are the controls for the ADC PGA, including the master volume controls for the ADC
inputs. The ADC channel can be powered up or down as needed using the Powered Up button. PGA
soft-stepping for the ADC channel is selected using the pull-down menu control. The large knob sets the
actual ADC PGA Gain and allows adjustment of the PGA gains from 0 dB to 59.5 dB, in 0.5-dB steps
(excluding Mute). At the extreme counterclockwise rotation, the channel is muted. Rotating the knob
clockwise increases the PGA gain, which is displayed in the box directly above the volume control.
The Bypass Paths tab shows the active and passive bypass paths available for control.
The passive analog bypass paths allow the inputs to be routed straight through the device to the outputs
without turning on any of the internal circuitry. This provides a signal path through the device with minimal
power consumption.
The active bypass paths allow the inputs to bypass the ADC and DAC functional blocks and be routed to
the analog output mixers to be summed into the output amplifiers. The Bypass Paths tab is shown in
The Audio Interface tab, shown in Figure 11, allows configuration of the audio digital data interface to the
TLV320AIC3109-Q1.
www.ti.com
Figure 11. Audio Interface Tab
The interface mode may be selected using the Transfer Mode control—selecting either I2S mode, DSP
mode, or Right- or Left-Justified modes. Word length can be selected using the Word Length control, and
the bit clock rate can also be selected using the Bit Clock rate control. The Data Word Offset, used in
TDM mode (see TLV320AIC3109-Q1 Automotive, Low-Power, 96-kHz, Mono Audio Codec) can also be
selected on this tab.
Along the bottom of this tab are controls for choosing the BLCK and WCLK as being either inputs or
outputs. With the codec configured in Slave mode, both the BCLK and WCLK are set to inputs. If the
codec is in Master mode, then BCLK and WCLK are configured as outputs. Additionally, two buttons
provide the option for placing the DOUT line in a 3-state mode when there is not valid data and
transmitting BLCK and WCLK when the codec is powered down.
Re-synchronization of the audio bus is enabled using the controls in the lower right corner of this screen.
Re-synchronization is done if the group delay changes by more than ±FS / 4 for the ADC or DAC sample
rates (see TLV320AIC3109-Q1 Automotive, Low-Power, 96-kHz, Mono Audio Codec). The channels can
be soft muted when doing the re-sync if the Soft Mute button is enabled.
The default mode for the EVM is configured as 44.1 kHz, 16-bit, I2S words, and the codec is a slave
(BCLK and WCLK are supplied to the codec externally). For use with the PC software and the USBMODEVM, the default settings should be used; no change to the software is required.
The TLV320AIC3109-Q1 provides a phase-locked loop (PLL) that allows flexibility in the clock generation
for the ADC and DAC sample rates. The Clocks tab contains the controls used to configure the
TLV320AIC3109-Q1 for operation with a wide range of master clocks. See the Audio Clock GenerationProcessing figure in TLV320AIC3109-Q1 Automotive, Low-Power, 96-kHz, Mono Audio Codec for further
details of selecting the correct clock settings.
For use with the PC software and the USB-MODEVM, the clock settings must be set a certain way. If the
settings are changed from the default settings which allow operation from the USB-MODEVM clock
reference, the EVM settings can be restored automatically by pushing the Load EVMS Clock Settings
button at the bottom of this tab. Note that changing any of the clock settings from the values loaded when
this button is pushed may result in the EVM not working properly with the PC software or USB interface. If
an external audio bus is used (audio not driven over the USB bus), then settings may be changed to any
valid combination. The Clocks tab is shown in Figure 12.
TLV320AIC3109EVM Software
Figure 12. Clocks Tab
4.6.1Configuring the Codec Clocks and Fsref Calculation
The codec clock source is chosen by the CODEC_CLK Source control. When this control is set to
CLKDIV_OUT, the PLL is not used; when set to PLLDIV_OUT, the PLL is used to generate the clocks.
NOTE: Per TLV320AIC3109-Q1 Automotive, Low-Power, 96-kHz, Mono Audio Codec, the codec
should be configured to allow the value of Fsref to fall between the values of 39 kHz to
53 kHz.
Setting up the TLV320AIC3109-Q1 for clocking without using the PLL permits the lowest power
consumption by the codec. The CLKDIV_IN source can be selected as either MCLK, GPIO2, or BCLK,
the default is MCLK. The CLKDIV_IN frequency is then entered into the CLKDIV_IN box, in megahertz
(MHz). The default value shown, 11.2896 MHz, is the frequency used on the USB-MODEVM board. This
value is then divided by the value of Q, which can be set from 2 to 17; the resulting CLKDIV_OUT
frequency is shown in the indicator next to the Q control. The result frequency is shown as the ActualFsref.
4.6.1.2Use With The PLL
When PLLDIV_OUT is selected as the codec clock source, the PLL is used. The PLL clock source is
chosen using the PLLCLK_IN control, and may be set to either MCLK, GPIO2, or BCLK. The PLLCLK_IN
frequency is then entered into the PLLCLK_IN Source box.
The PLL_OUT and PLLDIV_OUT indicators show the resulting PLL output frequencies with the values set
for the P, K, and R parameters of the PLL. See TLV320AIC3109-Q1 Automotive, Low-Power, 96-kHz,
Mono Audio Codec for an explanation of these parameters. The parameters can be set by clicking on the
up or down arrows of the P, K, and R combo boxes, or they can be typed into these boxes.
The values can also be calculated by the PC software. To use the PC software to find the ideal values of
P, K, and R for a given PLL input frequency and desired Fsref:
1. Verify the correct reference frequency is entered into the PLLCLK_IN Source box in megahertz
(MHz).
2. The desired Fsref should be set using the Fsref switch.
3. Push the Search for Ideal Settings button. The software will start searching for ideal combinations of
P, K, and R which achieve the desired Fsref. The possible settings for these parameters are displayed
in the spreadsheet-like table illustrated in Figure 12, labeled Possible Settings.
4. Click on a row in this table to select the P, K, and R values located in that row. Notice that when this is
done, the software updates the P, K, R, PLL_OUT, and PLLDIV_OUT readings, as well as the ActualFsref and Error displays. The values show the calculations based on the values that were selected.
This process does not actually load the values into the TLV320AIC3109-Q1; however, it only updates
the displays in the software. If more than one row exists, the user can choose the other rows to see
which of the possible settings comes closest to the ideal settings.
When a suitable combination of P, K, and R have been chosen, pressing the Load Settings into Device?
button will download these values into the appropriate registers on the TLV320AIC3109-Q1.

4.6.1.3Setting the ADC and DAC Sampling Rates
The Fsref frequency that is determined by either enabling or bypassing the PLL (see Section 4.6.1.1 or
Section 4.6.1.2) is used to set the actual ADC and DAC sampling rates. Using the NADC and NDAC
factors, the sampling rates are derived from the Fsref. If dual-rate mode is desired, this option can be
enabled for either the ADC or DAC by pressing the corresponding Dual Rate Mode button. The ADC and
DAC sampling rates are shown in the box to the right of each control.
The AGC tab consists a set of controls to configure the automatic Gain Control (AGC) of the
TLV320AIC3109-Q1. The AGC function is described in TLV320AIC3109-Q1 Automotive, Low-Power, 96-
kHz, Mono Audio Codec. The default AGC tab configuration is shown in Figure 13.
TLV320AIC3109EVM Software
Figure 13. AGC Tab
The AGC can be enabled using the Enable button. Target gain (dB), Attack time (milliseconds), Decay
time (milliseconds), and the Maximum PGA Gain Allowed (dB) can all be set, respectively, using the four
corresponding knobs.
The TLV320AIC3109-Q1 allows for the Attack and Decay times of the AGC to be set up in two different
modes, standard and advanced. The AGC Settings button determines the mode selection. The Standard
mode provides several preset times that can be selected by adjustments made to the Attack and Decay
knobs. If finer control over the times is required, then the Advanced mode should be selected. When the
Advanced mode is enabled, two tabs should appear that allow separate, advanced control of the Attack
and Delay times of the AGC (see Figure 14). These options allow selection of the base time as well as a
multiplier to achieve the actual times shown in the corresponding text box. The Use advanced button
should be enabled to program the registers with the correct values selected via the pull-down options for
base time and multiplier.
Noise gate functions, such as Hysteresis, Enable Clip stepping, Threshold (dB), Signal Detect
Debounce (ms), and Noise Detect Debounce (ms) are set using the corresponding controls in the
Noise Gate group box.
4.8Filters Tab
The TLV320AIC3109-Q1 has an advanced feature set for applying digital filtering to audio signals. This
tab controls all of the filter features of the TLV320AIC3109-Q1. In order to use this tab and have plotting of
filter responses correct, the DAC sample rate must be set correctly. Therefore, the clocks must be set up
correctly in the software following the discussion in Section 4.6. The Filters tab is depicted in Figure 15.
www.ti.com
22
Figure 15. Filters Tab
The AIC3104 digital filtering is available to both the ADC and DAC. The ADC has optional high pass
filtering and allows the digital output from the ADC through digital effects filtering before exiting the codec
through the PCM interface. Likewise, the digital audio data can be routed through the digital effects
filtering before passing through the optional de-emphasis filter before the DAC. The digital effects filtering
can only be connected to either the ADC or DAC, not both at the same time.
The Filters tab is divided into several areas. The left side of the tab, is used to select between the DAC or
ADC filters and assist in the selection and calculating the desired filter coefficients. The right hand side of
the tab shows a frequency response plot of the digital effects filter selected and the coefficients that are
programmed into the device. The plots show the magnitude and phase response of each biquad section,
plus the combined responses of the two biquad filters. Note that the plot shows only the responses of the
effect filters, not the combined response of those filter along with the de-emphasis and ADC high-pass
filters.
The TLV320AIC3109-Q1 ADC provides the option of enabling a high-pass filter, which helps to reduce the
effects of DC offsets in the system. The ADC high-pass filter tab is shown in Figure 16. This tab shows the
options for programming various filter associated with the ADC. The high-pass filter has two modes:
standard and programmable.
The standard high-pass filter option allows the selection of the high-pass filter frequency from several
preset options that can be chosen with the ADC HP Filter control. Four options are available for this filter
setting, one for disable and other three different corner frequencies which are based on the ADC sample
rate.
For custom filter requirements, the programmable function allows custom coefficients to achieve a
different filter than provided by the preset filters. The controls for the programmable high-pass filter are
located under the Programmable Filters heading. The process should use the following steps:
1. The filter coefficients can be entered in the HP Filter controls near the bottom of the tab.
2. Press the Download Coefficients button to download the coefficients to the codec registers.
3. Enable the Programmable High-Pass Filters by selecting the ADC button.
The programmable high-pass filter should now be correctly programmed and enabled. The ADC can now
be enabled with the high-pass filter.
TLV320AIC3109EVM Software
4.8.1.2Digital Effects Filter - ADC
The ADC digital outputs stream can be routed through the digital effects filter in the codec to allow custom
audio performance. The digital effects filter cannot operate on both the ADC or DAC at the same time.
The digital effects filter operation is discussed in Section 4.8.3.
4.8.2DAC Filters
The DAC Filters tab is shown in Figure 17. Detailed information about the different configuration options
for the DAC filters is discussed in the following sections.
The de-emphasis filters used in the TLV320AIC3109-Q1 can be programmed as described in
TLV320AIC3109-Q1 Automotive, Low-Power, 96-kHz, Mono Audio Codec, using this tab. Enter the
coefficients for the de-emphasis filter response desired. While on this tab, the de-emphasis response is
shown on the Effect Filter Response graph; however, note that this response is not included in graphs of
other effect responses when on the other filter design tabs.
4.8.2.2DAC Digital Effects Filter
The digital audio input stream can be routed through the digital effects filter in the codec before routing to
the DAC to allow custom audio performance. The digital effects filter cannot operate on both the ADC or
DAC at the same time. The digital effects filter operation is discussed in Section 4.8.3.
www.ti.com
Figure 18. De-emphasis Filters
4.8.3Digital Effects Filters
The digital effect filters (or biquad filters) of the TLV320AIC3109-Q1 are selected using the check boxes
shown in the Figure 17 tab. The De-emphasis filters are described in TLV320AIC3109-Q1 Automotive,
Low-Power, 96-kHz, Mono Audio Codec, and their coefficients may be changed.
When designing filters for use with TLV320AIC3109-Q1, the software allows for several different filter
types to be used. These options are shown on a tab control in the lower left corner of the screen. When a
filter type is selected, and suitable input parameters defined, the response is shown in the Effect FilterResponse graph. Regardless of the setting for enabling the Effect Filter, the filter coefficients are not
loaded into the TLV320AIC3109-Q1 until the Download Coefficients button is pressed. To avoid noise
during the update of coefficients, it is recommended for the user to uncheck the Effect Filter check box
before downloading coefficients. Once the desired coefficients are in the TLV320AIC3109-Q1, enable the
filters by checking the Effect Filters box again.
4.8.3.1Shelf Filters
A shelf filter is a simple filter that applies a gain (positive or negative) to frequencies above or below a
certain corner frequency. As shown in Figure 19, in Bass mode a shelf filter applies a gain to frequencies
below the corner frequency; in Treble mode the gain is applied to frequencies above the corner frequency.
To use these filters, enter the gain desired and the corner frequency. Choose the mode to use (Bass or
Treble); the response is plotted on the Effect Filter Response graph.
4.8.3.2EQ Filters
EQ, or parametric filters can be designed on this tab, as shown in Figure 20). Enter a gain, bandwidth,
and a center frequency (Fc). Either bandpass (positive gain) or band-reject (negative gain) filters can be
created
TLV320AIC3109EVM Software

4.8.3.3Analog Simulation Filters
Biquads are quite good at simulating analog filter designs. For each biquad section on this tab, enter the
desired analog filter type to simulate (Butterworth, Chebyshev, Inverse Chebyshev, Elliptic, or Bessel).
Parameter entry boxes appropriate to the filter type are shown (ripple, for example, with Chebyshev filters,
and so forth). Enter the desired design parameters and the response is shown. The Analog SimulationFilters tab is shown in Figure 21.
Many applications are designed to provide preset filters common for certain types of program material.
The Preset Filters tab, as shown in Figure 22, allows selection of one of four preset filter responses Rock, Jazz, Classical, or Pop.

4.8.3.5User Filters
If filter coefficients are known, they can be entered directly on this tab for both biquads. The filter response
will not be shown on the Effect Filter Response graph for user filters. The User Filters tab is depicted in
The 3-D Effect is described in TLV320AIC3109-Q1 Automotive, Low-Power, 96-kHz, Mono Audio Codec.
The 3-D effect uses the two biquad sections in a different way than most other effect filter settings. To use
this effect properly, make sure the appropriate coefficients are already loaded into the two biquad
sections. The User Filters tab may be used to load the coefficients. Figure 24 shows the 3-D Effect tab.
To enable the 3-D effect, check the 3-D Effect On box. The Depth knob controls the value of the 3-D
Attenuation Coefficient.
TLV320AIC3109EVM Software
Figure 24. 3D Effect Settings
4.9Output Stage Configuration Tab
The Output Stage Configuration tab (shown in Figure 25) allows the setting of different features of the
output drivers.
The Configuration control may be set as either Fully-Differential or Pseudo-Differential. This control is
used to determine if the output stage is being used to drive a fully differential output load or a output load
where one of the outputs if referenced to a common-mode voltage (pseudo-differential).
The output Coupling control can be chosen as either Capless or AC-coupled. This setting should
correspond to the setting of the hardware switch (SW1) on the TLV320AIC3109EVM (CAPLESS or CAP).
The common mode voltage of the outputs may be set to 1.35 V, 1.5 V, 1.65 V, or 1.8 V using the
Common Mode Voltage control.
The TLV320AIC3109-Q1 offers several options to help reduce the turnon and turnoff pop of the output
amplifiers. The Power-On Delay of the output drivers can be set using the corresponding control from 0's
up to 4 seconds. Ramp-Up Step Timing can also be adjusted from 0ms to 4ms. The outputs can be set
to soft-step their volume changes, using the Output Volume Soft Stepping control, and set to step once
per Fs period, once per two Fs periods, or soft-stepping can be disabled altogether.
The high-power outputs of the TLV320AIC3109-Q1 can be configured to go to a weak common-mode
voltage when powered down. The source of this weak common-mode voltage can be set on this tab with
the Weak Output CM Voltage Source drop-down. Choices for the source are either a resistor divider off
the AVDD_DAC supply, or a bandgap reference. Refer to TLV320AIC3109-Q1 Automotive, Low-Power,
96-kHz, Mono Audio Codec for more details on this option.
Headset detection features are enabled using the Enable button in the Headset Detection group box.
When enabled, the indicators in the HS/Button Detect group box will light when either a button press or
headset is detected. When a headset is detected, the type of headset is displayed in the Detection Type
indicator. Debounce times for detection are set using the Jack Detect Debounce and Button PressDebounce controls, which offer debounce times in different numbers of milliseconds. Refer to
TLV320AIC3109-Q1 Automotive, Low-Power, 96-kHz, Mono Audio Codec for more information regarding
headset detection.
Output short-circuit protection can be enabled in the Short Circuit Protection group box. Short Circuit
Protection can use a current-limit mode, where the drivers will limit current output if a short-circuit
condition is detected, or in a mode where the drivers will power down when such a condition exists.
The I2C Bus Error Detection button allows the user to enable circuitry which will set a register bit
(Register 107, D0) if an I2C bus error is detected.
www.ti.com
4.10DAC/Line Outputs Tab
The DAC/Line Outputs tab controls the DAC power and volume, as well as routing of digital data to the
DAC and the analog line output from the DAC. The default configuration of the DAC/Line Outputs tab is
shown in Figure 26.
On the left side of this tab are controls for the DAC.
In similar fashion as the ADC, the DAC controls are set to allow control over the powering and volume
setting of the DAC. The DAC volume level can be set by using the Volume knob.
The data from the audio serial interface used by the DAC is selected using the drop-down boxes under
the DAC Datapath. The DAC channel can be selected to be off, use left channel data, use right channel
data, or use a mono mix of the left and right data.
Analog audio coming from the DACs is routed to outputs using the Output Path controls in DAC control
panel. The DAC output can be mixed with the analog inputs (PGA_L, PGA_R) and routed to the Line or
High Power outputs using the mixer controls for these outputs on this tab (for the line outputs) or on the
High Power Outputs tab (for the high power outputs). If the DAC is to be routed directly to either the Line
or HP outputs, these can be selected as choices in the Output Path control. Note that if the Line or HP
outputs are selected as the Output Path, the mixer controls on this tab and the High Power Output tabs
have no effect.
4.10.2Line Output Mixers
On the right side of this tab are horizontal panels where the analog output mixing functions for the line
outputs are located.
Each line output master volume is controlled by the knob at the far right of these panels, below the line
output labels. The output amplifier gain can be muted or set at a value between 0 and 9 dB in 1-dB steps.
Power/Enabled status for the line output can also be controlled using the button below this master output
knob (Powered Up).
If the DAC Output Path control is set to Mix with Analog Inputs, the knobs in each panel can be used to
set the individual level of signals routed and mixed to the line output. PGA_L, PGA_R, and DAC_L levels
can each be set to create a custom mix of signals presented to that particular line output.
NOTE: If the DAC Output Path control is set to anything other than Mix with Analog Inputs, these
The High-Power Outputs tab contains horizontal groupings of controls, one for each one of the high power
outputs. Each output has a mixer to mix the PGA_L, PGA_R, and DAC_L signals, assuming that the
DACs are not routed directly to the high power outputs. The High-Power Outputs tab is shown in
Section 4.10.
At the left of each output strip is a Powered Up button that controls whether the corresponding output is
powered up or not. The When powered down button allows the outputs to be tri-stated or driven weakly
to the output common mode voltage.
The HPCOM output can be used as an independent output channel or can be used as a complementary
signal to the HPOUT output. In these complementary configurations, the HPCOM output can be selected
as Differential of HPOUT signal to the HPOUT output or may be set to be a common mode voltage
(Constant VCM Out). When used in these configurations, the Powered Up button for the HPCOM output
is disabled, as the power mode for that output will track the power status of the HPOUT output. The
selection of Differential of HPLCOM or Ext. Feedback/HPLCOM constant VCM should not be selected for
the TLV320AIC3109EVM evaluation.
At the right side of the output strip is a master volume knob for that output, which allows the output
amplifier gain to be muted or set from 0 to 9 dB in 1-dB steps.
4.12Preset Configurations Tab
The Preset Configurations tab should be ignored for the evaluation of the TLV320AIC3109-Q1 as the
configuration used in that tab is relevant for the TLV320AIC3104 device only. Scripts for the correct
configuration of the TLV320AIC3109EVM are included in Appendix H. These scripts can be loaded into
the EVM by using the Command Line Interface tab, shown in Figure 28.
A simple scripting language controls the TAS1020 on the USB-MODEVM from the LabVIEW™ based PC
software. The main program controls, described previously, do nothing more than write a script which is
then handed off to an interpreter that sends the appropriate data to the correct USB endpoint. Because
this system is script-based, provision is made in this tab for the user to view the scripting commands
created as the controls are manipulated, as well as load and execute other scripts that have been written
and saved. The Command Line Interface tab is shown in Figure 28. This design allows the software to
be used as a quick test tool or to help provide troubleshooting information in the rare event that the user
encounters problem with this EVM.
TLV320AIC3109EVM Software
A script is loaded into the command buffer, either by operating the controls on the other tabs or by loading
a script file. When executed, the return packets of data which result from each command is displayed in
the Read Data array control. When executing several commands, the Read Data control shows only the
results of the last command. To see the results after every executed command, use the logging function
described in the following paragraphs.
The File menu depicted in Figure 29 provides some options for working with scripts. The first option, OpenCommand File..., loads a command file script into the command buffer. This script can then be executed
by pressing the Execute Command Buffer button.
The second option, Save Command File..., opens a save dialog box and then saves the text loaded in the
Command Buffer into a text file defined by the user.
The third option is Log Script and Results..., which opens a file save dialog box. Choose a location for a
log file to be written using this file save dialog. When the Execute Command Buffer button is pressed,
the script runs and the script, along with resulting data read back during the script, will be saved to the file
specified. The log file is a standard text file that can be opened with any text editor, and looks much like
the source script file, but with the additional information of the result of each script command executed.
Under the Help menu is an About... menu item which displays information about the TLV320AIC3109EVM
software.
The actual USB protocol used as well as instructions on writing scripts are detailed in the following
subsections. While it is not necessary to understand or use either the protocol or the scripts directly,
understanding them may be helpful to some users.
This appendix contains the connection details for each of the main header connectors on the EVM.

The USB-MODEVM is defined to be a Vendor-Specific class, and is identified on the PC system as an NIVISA device. Because the TAS1020 has several routines in its ROM which are designed for use with HIDclass devices, HID-like structures are used, even though the USB-MODEVM is not an HID-class device.
Data is passed from the PC to the TAS1020 using the control endpoint.
Data is sent in an HIDSETREPORT (see Table 12):

I.2GPIO Capability
The USB-MODEVM has seven GPIO lines. Access them by specifying the interface to be 0x08, and then
using the standard format for packets—but addresses are unnecessary. The GPIO lines are mapped into
one byte (see Table 14):

[0] 0x18 --> write, GPIO
[1] 0x00 --> this value is ignored
[2] 0x01 --> length - ALWAYS a 1
[3] 0x00 --> this value is ignored
[4] 0x40 --> 01000000
GPIO Capability
The user may also read back from the GPIO to see the state of the pins. Consider if the previous example
was written to the port pins.
Example: read the GPIO
[0] 0x08 --> read, GPIO
[1] 0x00 --> this value is ignored
[2] 0x01 --> length - ALWAYS a 1
[3] 0x00 --> this value is ignored
The return packet should be:
[0] 0x28
[1] 0x00
[2] 0x01
[3] 0x00
[4] 0x40
I.3Writing Scripts
A script is simply a text file that contains data to send to the serial control buses. The scripting language is
quite simple, as is the parser for the language. Therefore, the program is not very forgiving about mistakes
made in the source script file, but the formatting of the file is simple. Consequently, mistakes should be
rare.
Each line in a script file is one command. There is no provision for extending lines beyond one line. A line
is terminated by a carriage return.
The first character of a line is the command. Commands are:
ISet interface bus to use
rRead from the serial control bus
wWrite to the serial control bus
#Comment
bBreak
dDelay
The first command, I, sets the interface to use for the commands to follow. This command must be
followed by one of the following parameters:
For example, if a fast mode I2C bus is to be used, the script begins with:
I i2cfast
No data follows the break command. Anything following a comment command is ignored by the parser,
provided that it is on the same line. The delay command allows the user to specify a time, in milliseconds,
that the script will pause before proceeding.

i2cstdStandard mode I2C Bus
i2cfastFast mode I2C bus
spi8SPI bus with 8-bit register addressing
spi16SPI bus with 16-bit register addressing
gpioUse the USB-MODEVM GPIO capability
NOTE: Unlike all other numbers used in the script commands, the delay time is entered in a
decimal format. Also, note that because of latency in the USB bus as well as the time it
takes the processor on the USB-MODEVM to handle requests, the delay time may not be
precise.
A series of byte values follows either a read or write command. Each byte value is expressed in
hexadecimal, and each byte must be separated by a space. Commands are interpreted and sent to the
TAS1020 by the program using the protocol described in Section I.1.
The first byte following a read or write command is the I2C slave address of the device (if I2C is used) or
the first data byte to write (if SPI is used—note that SPI interfaces are not standardized on protocols, so
the meaning of this byte will vary with the device being addressed on the SPI bus). The second byte is the
starting register address that data will be written to (again, with I2C; SPI varies—see Section I.1 for
additional information about what variations may be necessary for a particular SPI mode). Following these
two bytes are data, if writing; if reading, the third byte value is the number of bytes to read, (expressed in
hexadecimal).
For example, to write the values 0xAA 0x55 to an I2C device with a slave address of 0x90, starting at a
register address of 0x03, one would write:
#example script
I i2cfast
w 90 03 AA 55
r 90 03 2
This script begins with a comment, specifies that a fast I2C bus will be used, then writes 0xAA 0x55 to the
I2C slave device at address 0x90, writing the values into registers 0x03 and 0x04. The script then reads
back two bytes from the same device starting at register address 0x03. Note that the slave device value
does not change. It is not necessary to set the R/W bit for I2C devices in the script; the read or write
commands will do that.
w 13 60 11 20 00 00 00 80 7F 00 C5 FE 31 40 7C 00 02
Note that blank lines are allowed. However, be sure that the script does not end with a blank line. While
ending with a blank line will not cause the script to fail, the program will execute that line, and therefore,
may prevent the user from seeing data that was written or read back on the previous command.
In this example, the first two bytes of each command are the command word to send to the TSC2101
(0x1000, 0x1360); these are followed by data to write to the device starting at the address specified in the
command word. The second line may wrap in the viewer being used to look like more than one line;
careful examination will show; however, that there is only one carriage return on that line, following the last
00.
Any text editor may be used to write these scripts; Jedit is an editor that is highly recommended for
general usage. For more information, go to: http://www.jedit.org.
Once the script is written, it can be used in the command window by running the program, and then
selecting Open Command File... from the File menu. Locate the script and open it. The script will then be
displayed in the command buffer. The user may also edit the script once it is in the buffer, but saving of
the command buffer is not possible at this time (this feature may be added at a later date).
Once the script is in the command buffer, it may be executed by pressing the Execute Command Buffer
button. If there are breakpoints in the script, the script will execute to that point, and the user is presented
with a dialog box with a button to press to continue executing the script. When ready to proceed, push that
button and the script will continue.
Here an example of a (partial) script with breakpoints:
# setup AIC33 for input and output
# uses I2C interface
I i2cfast
# reg 07 - codec datapath
w 30 07 8A
r 30 07 1
d 1000
# regs 15/16 - ADC volume, unmute and set to
w 30 0F 00 00
r 30 0F 2
b
Writing Scripts
input from onboard mic
C4
00 C4 00 00 00 23 10 FE 00 FE 00
0dB
This script writes the value 8A at register 7, then reads it back to verify that the write was good. A delay of
1000 ms (one second) is placed after the read to pause the script operation. When the script continues,
the values 00 00 are written starting at register 0F. This output is verified by reading two bytes, and
pausing the script again, this time with a break. The script does not continue until the user allows it to by
pressing OK in the dialog box that is displayed due to the break.
