3 Hardware Configuration

3.1 Indicators
This section will describe the LED indicators on the TAS3251EVM.

3.1.1 CLIP_OTW and FAULT

The TAS3251EVM is equipped with LED indicators that illuminate when the FAULT or CLIP_OTW pins go
low. See Table 3 and the TAS3251 datasheet for more details.

Table 3. Fault and Clip Overteperature Status

FAULT LED Status CLIP_OTW LED Status Description
Overtemperature (OTE) or overload (OLP) or undervoltage (UVP) Junction
ON ON
temperature higher than 125°C (overtemperature warning)
Overload (OLP) or undervoltage (UVP). Junction temperature higher than
ON ON

Overload (OLP) or undervoltage (UVP). Junction temperature lower than
ON OFF
125°C
OFF ON Junction temperature higher than 125°C (overtemperature warning)
Junction temperature lower than 125°C and no OLP or UVP faults (normal
OFF OFF
operation)

In addition to the states above, while the amplifier is operating, the CLIP_OTW pin can indicate clipping or
pre-clipping. To discern the difference between an OTW indication from a clip or pre-clip indication, look at
the signal with an oscilloscope. If the signal is toggling during operation, this is clipping or pre-clipping. If
the signal is a constant low then this will be overtemperature warning.

3.2 Digital Audio Front End

3.2.1 Audio Source

The TAS3251EVM is able to receive four different digital inputs of audio. This includes USB audio, optical
SPDIF, coax SPIF, or direct PCM data over I2S. The different audio inputs are configured with a
combination of jumper settings and register configurations.

Figure 13. PPC3 Audio I/O Configuration for TAS3251EVM

3.2.1.1 SRC Input

The SRC4392 manages the USB, Optical, and COAX inputs, as well as providing the capability of sample
rate conversion. The SRC output in normal operation will be divided down from the frequency provided to
the SRC. The TAS3251EVM provides both 22.5792 MHz and 24.576 MHz from oscillators, and is
selectable with J2 described in Table 6.

If a direct audio input is desired without sample rate conversion, the sample rate conversion block of the
SRC4392 can be bypassed with the optical or coax inputs. Select BypassSRC in the PPC3 I/O page, and
set MCLK-SEL (J1) to the correct setting.

3.2.1.2 AIB Input

The Audio Input Board (AIB) input allows various audio plugin modules to be used with the TAS3251. The
standard for this connector can be found in Table 7. When using the AIB as the audio source you must
adjust the I2S SELECT jumper J37 accordingly.

Setting Function
Installed Using the SRC4392 output as I2S source
Removed Using the AIB J28 input as I2S source

3.2.1.3 PSIA Input

The set of four 3-pin headers J3, J4, J6, and J7 allow for a direct input of I2S signals to the TAS3251. This
is described in Table 8

Setting Function
1-2 EVM source for I2S
2-3 Direct input from external I2S source

3.2.2 USB Control

The USB interface is an XMOS device that handles I2S audio and I2C control from the PC with the use of
PurePath Console 3. The XMOS device can operate in USB Audio 2.0 mode or USB Audio 1.0 mode.
This allows up to 192 kHz audio with 8 channels in and 8 channels out. In order to operate in the USB
Audio 2.0 mode, the TI USB audio 2.0 driver must be installed and J16 of the EVM must be set correctly
according to Table 9.

Table 9. HS-EN (J16) – High Speed Enable

Setting Function
Installed High Speed USB
Removed Full Speed USB

The XMOS device can be shut down or reset by the use of the XMOS Disable (J33) jumper shown in
Table 10.

Setting Function
Installed XMOS shutdown
Removed XMOS Enabled

3.2.3 EVM Slave Operation

The TAS3251EVM in combination with the PPC3 software has the ability to operate and configure 2
EVM’s at once providing a stereo 1.1 active crossover setup. This will require that one board be the
master, and the sole USB connection to the PC running PPC3. A connector cable must be connected
between the master and slave board to J9 that will allow the master board to transfer I2S and I2C data to
the slave board. Any audio input source can be used in this mode.

Figure 14. TAS3251EVM 2.2 Configuration

In order for the slave board to function correctly, jumpers must also be correctly configured on both the
master and the slave. This would include setting the Slave Enable jumper (J35) and the I2C address
jumper (J19) correctly. The Master device should be set to the I2C 0x94 address, with SLAVE ENABLE
J14 removed, the slave device should have I2C address 0x96 with SLAVE ENABLE J14 installed.

3.3 PWM Frequency

The TAS3251EVM allows for three oscillator frequency options by external configuration of the
FREQ_ADJ pin. The frequency adjust can be used to reduce interference problems while using a radio
receiver tuned within the AM band. These values should be chosen such that the nominal and the lower
value switching frequencies together results in the fewest cases of interference throughout the AM band.
The oscillator frequency can be selected by the value of the FREQ_ADJ resistor connected to GND in
master mode according to Table 12.

Table 12. PWM Frequency Adjust Values

FREQ_ADJ (J16) Mode Resistor Selected to GND or PWM Frequency

Table 12. PWM Frequency Adjust Values (continued)

FREQ_ADJ (J16) Mode Resistor Selected to GND or PWM Frequency
Pullup
Master Mode AM2 30 kΩ 450 kHz

Selecting Slave Mode configures the OSC_I/O pins as inputs to be slaved from an external differential
clock. In a master or slave system, inter-channel delay is automatically set up between the switching
phases of the audio channels, which can be illustrated by no idle channels switching at the same time.
This will not influence the audio output, but only the switch timing to minimize noise coupling between
audio channels through the power supply. This will optimize audio performance and result in better
operating conditions for the power supply. The inter-channel delay will be set up for a slave device
depending on the polarity of the OSC_I/O connection such that slave mode 1 is selected by connecting
the OSC_I/O of the master device with the OSC_I/O of the slave device with the same polarity (+ to +
and – to –), while slave mode 2 is selected by connecting the OSC_I/Os with the inverse polarity (+ to –
and – to +).

3.4 Output Mode

The TAS3251 MODE pin controls if the TAS3251 is operating in Bridge Tied Load (BTL), or Parallel
Bridge Tied Load (PBTL).

Table 13. MODE (J19) – Mode Select

Setting Function

3.5 I2C Address

Two I2C addresses are available for the TAS3251, 0x94 and 0x96. The I2C address selection is
determined by the state of the J19 jumper I2C ADR.

versus current curve for a selected inductor is very important. It is essential for the inductor to maintain at
least 5 µH of inductance at the maximum short-circuit current of the power amplifier. This was selected for
the EVM since the saturation current met the requirements of the OC limit of the TAS3251 but also
provides great performance in THD vs Power and THD vs Frequency.
To find more information on a variety of inductors see the LC Filter Design application note.

3.8 Reset Circuit and POR

The TAS3251EVM includes RESET supervision so that the TAS3251 device will remain in reset until all
power rails are up and stable. The RESET supervisor also ensures that the device will be put into reset if
one of the power rails experiences a brown out. This circuit combined with the RESET switch (S3) help
ensure that the TAS3251 can be placed in reset easily, as needed, or automatically if there is a power
supply issue. Figure 17 illustrates the circuit.

Figure 17. TAS3251EVM Reset Circuit

3.9 Analog Input Board Connector

The Analog-Input-Board (AIB) connector allows for cross compatibility with several Analog Plug-in
Modules (APMs) offered by TI. This generic connector provides access to common board connections
such as digital input, analog output, I2C, Fault and overtemperature warning (OTW) error reporting,
common board voltages (PVDD, 12 V, 3.3 V), and EVM reset. These plug-in modules allow for an
application specific front end to be plugged into the TAS3251EVM with ease. The TAS3251
implementation of the AIB connector is shown in Figure 18 and the full pin description is detailed in
Table 16

4.8.3 In-System Tuning

Even if the device is integrated in the end application, it is still possible to make fine adjustments with the
help of In-System Tuning. Like the In-System Debugging above, this is done by connecting I2C signals
from TAS3251EVM to the TAS3251 device in the end-system.

5 MSP430
This section describes the use of the MSP430 on the TAS3251EVM.

5.1 Startup
The MSP430 comes preprogramed and will stay in a low power state until it is woken with input. To bring
the MSP430 out of the low power state press “PROG_SEL” twice. This will trigger the MSP430 to run
Program 0 which will bring the DSP out of standby and Mute the DAC. The Audio Input can then be
selected

5.2 Programs
The MSP430G2955 has 56 kB of internal flash allowing multiple process flows and sets of coefficients to
be stored in memory. These programs can be cycled through by using the “PROG_SEL” button, once on
the desired program, pressing load will mute the TAS3251 and load the program. Programs can be loaded
by flashing the MSP430 code with the use of a JTAG debugger and the output from PPC3.

0 Stereo Default Flat 48kHz Standard Processing
1 N/A N/A N/A
2 N/A N/A N/A

5.3 Inputs
The “INPUT” button will cycle through the three digital audio inputs: USB, OPTICAL, and COAX. When the
INPUT button is pressed the SRC4392 will be configured by the MSP430 for that input.

5.4 Mute and Volume

The MUTE button will set the DAC output channels to mute in Register 0x03. The VOL UP and VOL DWN
buttons will trigger the MSP430 to change the volume in the DSP of the TAS3251. This is done by first
reading the current volume level, then adjusting the volume of both channel A and B to next defined
volume step shown in the code below.
