TLV320AIC3254
SLAS549C – SEPTEMBER 2008 – REVISED OCTOBER 2013 www.ti.com
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.
DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
The TLV320AIC3254 features two fully-programmable miniDSP cores that support application-specific algorithms
in the record and-or the playback path of the device. The miniDSP cores are fully software controlled with
advanced DSP filtering loaded into the device after power-up.
Extensive register-based control of power, IO channel configuration, gains, effects, pin-multiplexing and clocks is
included, allowing the device to be precisely targeted to its application. Combined with the advanced PowerTune
technology, the device can cover operations from 8kHz mono voice playback to audio stereo 192kHz DAC
playback, making it ideal for portable battery-powered audio and telephony applications.
The record path of the TLV320AIC3254 covers operations from 8kHz mono to 192kHz stereo recording, and
contains programmable input channel configurations covering single-ended and differential setups, as well as
floating or mixing input signals. It also includes a digitally-controlled stereo microphone preamplifier and
integrated microphone bias. Digital signal processing blocks can remove audible noise that may be introduced by
mechanical coupling, such as optical zooming in a digital camera.
The playback path offers signal-processing blocks for filtering and effects, and supports flexible mixing of DAC
and analog input signals as well as programmable volume controls. The playback path contains two high-power
output drivers as well as two fully-differential outputs. The high-power outputs can be configured in multiple ways,
including stereo and mono BTL.
The integrated PowerTune technology allows the device to be tuned to an optimum power-performance trade-off.
Mobile applications frequently have multiple use cases requiring very low power operation while being used in a
mobile environment. When used in a docked environment power consumption typically is less of a concern, while
minimizing noise is important. With PowerTune, the TLV320AIC3254 addresses both cases.
The voltage supply range for the TLV320AIC3254 for analog is 1.5V–1.95V, and for digital it is 1.26V–1.95V. To
ease system-level design, LDOs are integrated to generate the appropriate analog or digital supply from input
voltages ranging from 1.8V to 3.6V. Digital IO voltages are supported in the range of 1.1V–3.6V.
The required internal clock of the TLV320AIC3254 can be derived from multiple sources, including the MCLK pin,
the BCLK pin, the GPIO pin or the output of the internal PLL, where the input to the PLL again can be derived
from the MCLK pin, the BCLK or GPIO pins. Although using the PLL ensures the availability of a suitable clock
signal, it is not recommended for the lowest power settings. The PLL is highly programmable and can accept
available input clocks in the range of 512kHz to 50MHz.
The device is available in the 5-mm × 5-mm, 32-pin QFN package.

Application Overview
The TLV320AIC3254 offers a wide range of configuration options. Figure 1 shows the basic functional blocks of
the device.
Device Connections
Digital Pins
Only a small number of digital pins are dedicated to a single function; whenever possible, the digital pins have a
default function, and also can be reprogrammed to cover alternative functions for various applications.
The fixed-function pins are Reset, LDO_Select and the SPI_Select pin, which are HW control pins. Depending on
the state of SPI_Select, the two control-bus pins SCL/SS and SDA/MOSI are configured for either I2C or SPI
protocol.
Other digital IO pins can be configured for various functions via register control. An overview of available
functionality is given in Multifunction Pins.
Multifunction Pins
Table 8 shows the possible allocation of pins for specific functions. The PLL input, for example, can be
programmed to be any of 4 pins (MCLK, BCLK, DIN, GPIO).

(3) S : The GPIO/MFP5 pin can drive the PLL and Codec Clock inputs simultaneously.
(4) D: Default Function
(5) E: The pin is exclusively used for this function, no other function can be implemented with the same pin. (If GPIO/MFP5 has been
allocated for General Purpose Output, it cannot be used as the INT1 output at the same time.)
Analog Pins
Analog functions can also be configured to a large degree. For minimum power consumption, analog blocks are
powered down by default. The blocks can be powered up with fine granularity according to the application needs.
Analog Audio IO
The analog IO path of the TLV320AIC3254 features a large set of options for signal conditioning as well as signal
routing:
• 6 analog inputs which can be mixed and-or multiplexed in single-ended and-or differential configuration
• 2 programmable gain amplifiers (PGA) with a range of 0 to +47.5dB
• 2 mixer amplifiers for analog bypass
• 2 low power analog bypass channels
• Mute function
• Automatic gain control (AGC)
• Built in microphone bias
• Stereo digital microphone interface
• Channel-to-channel phase adjustment
• Fast charge of ac-coupling capacitors
• Anti thump
Headphone Outputs
The stereo headphone drivers on pins HPL and HPR can drive loads with impedances down to 16Ω in single-
ended AC-coupled headphone configurations, or loads down to 32Ω in differential mode, where a speaker is
connected between HPL and HPR. In single-ended drive configuration these drivers can drive up to 15mW
power into each headphone channel while operating from 1.8V analog supplies. While running from the AVDD
supply, the output common-mode of the headphone driver is set by the common-mode setting of analog inputs in
Page 1, Register 10, Bit D6, to allow maximum utilization of the analog supply range while simultaneously
providing a higher output-voltage swing. In cases when higher output-voltage swing is required, the headphone
amplifiers can run directly from the higher supply voltage on LDOIN input (up to 3.6V). To use the higher supply
voltage for higher output signal swing, the output common-mode can be adjusted to either 1.25V, 1.5V or 1.65V
by configuring Page 1, Register 10, Bits D5-D4. When the common-mode voltage is configured at 1.65V and
LDOIN supply is 3.3V, the headphones can each deliver up to 40mW power into a 16Ω load.
The headphone drivers are capable of driving a mixed combination of DAC signal, left and right ADC PGA signal
and line-bypass from analog input IN1L and IN1R by configuring Page 1, Register 12 and Page 1, Register 13
respectively. The ADC PGA signals can be attenuated up to 30dB before routing to headphone drivers by
configuring Page 1, Register 24 and Page 1, Register 25. The analog line-input signals can be attenuated up to
72dB before routing by configuring Page 1, Register 22 and 23. The level of the DAC signal can be controlled
using the digital volume control of the DAC in Page 0, Reg 65 and 66. To control the output-voltage swing of
headphone drivers, the digital volume control provides a range of –6.0dB to +29.0dB (6) in steps of 1dB. These
can be configured by programming Page 1, Register 16 and 17. These level controls are not meant to be used
as dynamic volume control, but to set output levels during initial device configuration. Refer to for
recommendations for using headphone volume control for achieving 0dB gain through the DAC channel with
various configurations.
Line Outputs
The stereo line level drivers on LOL and LOR pins can drive a wide range of line level resistive impedances in
the range of 600Ω to 10kΩ. The output common modes of line level drivers can be configured to equal either the
analog input common-mode setting or to 1.65V. With output common-mode setting of 1.65V and DRVdd_HP
supply at 3.3V the line-level drivers can drive up to 1Vrms output signal. The line-level drivers can drive out a
mixed combination of DAC signal and attenuated ADC PGA signal. Signal mixing is register-programmable.
(6) If the device must be placed into 'mute' from the –6.0dB setting, set the device at a gain of –5.0dB first, then place the device into mute.

TLV320AIC3254
SLAS549C – SEPTEMBER 2008 – REVISED OCTOBER 2013 www.ti.com
ADC
The TLV320AIC3254 includes a stereo audio ADC, which uses a delta-sigma modulator with a programmable
oversampling ratio, followed by a digital decimation filter. The ADC supports sampling rates from 8kHz to
192kHz. In order to provide optimal system power management, the stereo recording path can be powered up
one channel at a time, to support the case where only mono record capability is required.
The ADC path of the TLV320AIC3254 features a large set of options for signal conditioning as well as signal
routing:
• Two ADCs
• Six analog inputs which can be mixed and-or multiplexed in single-ended and-or differential configuration
• Two programmable gain amplifiers (PGA) with a range of 0 to +47.5dB
• Two mixer amplifiers for analog bypass
• Two low power analog bypass channels
• Fine gain adjustment of digital channels with 0.1dB step size
• Digital volume control with a range of -12 to +20dB
• Mute function
• Automatic gain control (AGC)
In addition to the standard set of ADC features the TLV320AIC3254 also offers the following special functions:
• Built in microphone bias
• Stereo digital microphone interface
• Channel-to-channel phase adjustment
• Fast charge of ac-coupling capacitors
• Anti thump
• Adaptive filter mode
ADC Processing
The TLV320AIC3254 ADC channel includes a built-in digital decimation filter to process the oversampled data
from the sigma-delta modulator to generate digital data at Nyquist sampling rate with high dynamic range. The
decimation filter can be chosen from three different types, depending on the required frequency response, group
delay and sampling rate.
(1) Default
For more detailed information see the TLV320AIC3254 Application Reference Guide, SLAA408.
DAC
The TLV320AIC3254 includes a stereo audio DAC supporting data rates from 8kHz to 192kHz. Each channel of
the stereo audio DAC consists of a signal-processing engine with fixed processing blocks, a programmable
miniDSP, a digital interpolation filter, multi-bit digital delta-sigma modulator, and an analog reconstruction filter.
The DAC is designed to provide enhanced performance at low sampling rates through increased oversampling
and image filtering, thereby keeping quantization noise generated within the delta-sigma modulator and signal
images strongly suppressed within the audio band to beyond 20kHz. To handle multiple input rates and optimize
power dissipation and performance, the TLV320AIC3254 allows the system designer to program the
oversampling rates over a wide range from 1 to 1024. The system designer can choose higher oversampling
ratios for lower input data rates and lower oversampling ratios for higher input data rates.
The TLV320AIC3254 DAC channel includes a built-in digital interpolation filter to generate oversampled data for
the sigma-delta modulator. The interpolation filter can be chosen from three different types depending on
required frequency response, group delay and sampling rate.
The DAC path of the TLV320AIC3254 features many options for signal conditioning and signal routing:
• 2 headphone amplifiers
– Usable in single-ended or differential mode
– Analog volume setting with a range of -6 to +29dB
– Class-D mode
• 2 line-out amplifiers
– Usable in single-ended or differential mode
– Analog volume setting with a range of -6 to +29dB
• Digital volume control with a range of -63.5 to +24dB
• Mute function
• Dynamic range compression (DRC)
In addition to the standard set of DAC features the TLV320AIC3254 also offers the following special features:
• Built in sine wave generation (beep generator)
• Digital auto mute
• Adaptive filter mode
(1) Default
For more detailed information see the TLV320AIC3254 Application Reference Guide, SLAA408.
Powertune
The TLV320AIC3254 features PowerTune, a mechanism to balance power-versus-performance trade-offs at the
time of device configuration. The 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 TLV320AIC3254 PowerTune
modes are called PTM_R1 to PTM_R4 for the recording (ADC) path and PTM_P1 to PTM_P4 for the playback
(DAC) path.
For more detailed information see the TLV320AIC3254 Application Reference Guide, SLAA408.
The audio bus of the TLV320AIC3254 can be configured for left or right-justified, I2S, DSP, or TDM modes of
operation, where communication with standard telephony PCM interfaces is supported within the TDM mode.
These modes are all MSB-first, with data width programmable as 16, 20, 24, or 32 bits by configuring Page 0,
Register 27, D(5:4). In addition, the word clock and bit clock can be independently configured in either Master or
Slave mode, for flexible connectivity to a wide variety of processors. The word clock is used to define the
beginning of a frame, and may be programmed as either a pulse or a square-wave signal. The frequency of this
clock corresponds to the maximum of the selected ADC and DAC sampling frequencies.
The bit clock is used to clock in and clock out the digital audio data across the serial bus. When in Master mode,
this signal can be programmed to generate variable clock pulses by controlling the bit-clock divider in Page 0,
Register 30. The number of bit-clock pulses in a frame may need adjustment to accommodate various word
lengths, and to support the case when multiple TLV320AIC3254s may share the same audio bus.
The TLV320AIC3254 also includes a feature to offset the position of start of data transfer with respect to the
word-clock. Control the offset in terms of number of bit-clocks by programming Page 0, Register 28.
The TLV320AIC3254 also has the feature to invert the polarity of the bit-clock used to transfer the audio data as
compared to the default clock polarity used. This feature can be used independently of the mode of audio
interface chosen. Page 0, Register 29, D(3) configures bit clock polarity.
The TLV320AIC3254 further includes programmability (Page 0, Register 27, D(0)) to place the DOUT line into a
hi-Z (3-state) condition during all bit clocks when valid data is not being sent. By combining this capability with
the ability to program at what bit clock in a frame the audio data begins, time-division multiplexing (TDM) can be
accomplished, enabling the use of multiple codecs on a single audio serial data bus. When the audio serial data
bus is powered down while configured in master mode, the pins associated with the interface are put into a hi-Z
output condition.
By default when the word-clocks and bit-clocks are generated by the TLV320AIC3254, these clocks are active
only when the codec (ADC, DAC or both) are powered up within the device. This intermittent clock operation
reduces power consumption. However, it also supports a feature when both the word clocks and bit-clocks can
be active even when the codec in the device is powered down. This continuous clock feature is useful when
using the TDM mode with multiple codecs on the same bus, or when word-clock or bit-clocks are used in the
system as general-purpose clocks.
Control Interfaces
The TLV320AIC3254 control interface supports SPI or I2C communication protocols, with the protocol selectable
using the SPI_SELECT pin. For SPI, SPI_SELECT should be tied high; for I2C, SPI_SELECT should be tied low.
Changing the state of SPI_SELECT during device operation is not recommended.
I2C Control
The TLV320AIC3254 supports the I2C control protocol, and will respond to the I2C address of 0011000. I2C is a
two-wire, open-drain interface supporting multiple devices and masters on a single bus. Devices on the I2C bus
only drive the bus lines LOW by connecting them to ground; they never drive the bus lines HIGH. Instead, the
bus wires are pulled HIGH by pullup resistors, so the bus wires are HIGH when no device is driving them LOW.
This circuit prevents two devices from conflicting; if two devices drive the bus simultaneously, there is no driver
contention.
SPI Control
In the SPI control mode, the TLV320AIC3254 uses the pins SCL/SS as SS, SCLK as SCLK, MISO as MISO,
SDA/MOSI as MOSI; a standard SPI port with clock polarity setting of 0 (typical microprocessor SPI control bit
CPOL = 0). The SPI port allows full-duplex, synchronous, serial communication between a host processor (the
master) and peripheral devices (slaves). The SPI master (in this case, the host processor) generates the
synchronizing clock (driven onto SCLK) and initiates transmissions. The SPI slave devices (such as the
TLV320AIC3254) depend on a master to start and synchronize transmissions. A transmission begins when
initiated by an SPI master. The byte from the SPI master begins shifting in on the slave MOSI pin under the
control of the master serial clock (driven onto SCLK). As the byte shifts in on the MOSI pin, a byte shifts out on
the MISO pin to the master shift register.
For more detailed information see the TLV320AIC3254 Application Reference Guide, SLAA408.
Power Supply
To power up the device, a 3.3V system rail (1.9V to 3.6V) can be used. The IOVDD voltage can be in the range of
1.1V - 3.6V. Internal LDOs can generate the appropriate digital and analog core voltages when configured to do
so. For maximum flexibility, the respective voltages can also be supplied externally, bypassing the built-in LDOs.
To support high-output drive capabilities, the output stages of the output amplifiers can be driven from the analog
core voltage or the 1.9…3.6V rail used for the LDO inputs (LDO_in).
For more detailed information see the TLV320AIC3254 Application Reference Guide, SLAA408.
Software
Software development for the TLV320AIC3254 is supported through TI's comprehensive PurePath Studio
Development Environment; a powerful, easy-to-use tool designed specifically to simplify software development
on the TLV320AIC3254 miniDSP audio platform. 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.
Please visit the TLV320AIC3254 product folder on www.ti.com to learn more about PurePath Studio and the
latest status on available, ready-to-use DSP algorithms.
