5.2.1.4
Power-Stage Reset
The power-stage-only reset is used to reset the device after an overcurrent latching shutdown has
occurred. Using this reset re-enables the output stage without resetting all of the registers in the device.
Each of the two power stages has its own dedicated reset bit. The headphone power-stage reset is
performed by setting page 1 / register 31, bit D7 for HPOUT. The speaker power-stage reset is performed
by setting page 1 / register 32, bit D7 for SPKP and SPKM.
5.2.1.5
Software Power Down
By default, all circuit blocks are powered down following a reset condition. Hardware power up of each
circuit block can be controlled by writing to the appropriate control register. This approach allows the
lowest power-supply current for the functionality required. However, when a block is powered down, all of
the register settings are maintained as long as power is still being applied to the device.
5.2.2
Audio Analog I/O
The TLV320DAC3120 features a mono audio DAC. It supports a wide range of analog interfaces to
support different headsets and analog outputs. The TLV320DAC3120 interfaces to output drivers (8-
,
16-
, 32-).
5.3
miniDSP
The TLV320DAC3120 features a miniDSP core which is tightly coupled to the DAC. The fully
programmable algorithms for the miniDSP must be loaded into the device after power up. The miniDSP
has direct access to the digital stereo audio stream, offering the possibility for advanced, very
low-group-delay DSP algorithms. The miniDSP has 1024 programmable instructions, 896 data memory
locations, and 512 programmable coefficients (in the adaptive mode, each bank has 256 programmable
coefficients).
5.3.1
Software
Software development for the TLV320DAC3120 is supported through TI's comprehensive PurePath
Studio software development environment, a powerful, easy-to-use tool designed specifically to simplify
software development on Texas Instruments miniDSP audio platforms. The graphical development
environment consists of a library of common audio functions that can be dragged and dropped into an
audio signal flow and graphically connected together. The DSP code can then be assembled from the
graphical signal flow with the click of a mouse. See the TLV320DAC3120 product folder on
www.ti.com to
learn more about PurePath Studio and the latest status on available, ready-to-use DSP algorithms.
5.4
Digital Processing Low-Power Modes
The TLV320DAC3120 device can be tuned to minimize power dissipation, to maximize performance, or to
an operating point between the two extremes to best fit the application. The choice of processing blocks,
PRB_P4 to PRB_P22 for mono playback and PRB_R4 to PRB_R18 for mono recording, also influences
the power consumption. In fact, the numerous processing blocks have been implemented to offer a choice
among configurations having a different balance of power-optimization and signal-processing capabilities.
