Chapter 2 - Slide 7

Setting up the Codec

The TMS320C5505 USB Stick uses a TLV320AIC3204 Codec (coder-decoder). The information required to configure this device is contained in TI datasheet SLOS602A.

Phase Locked Loop (PLL) Setup

Table 5-25 PLL gives example configurations. This is the really useful part of the document!

Chapter 2 - Slide 10

Registers
All the fields PLLP, PLLR etc refer to specific registers inside the Codec. This phase lock loop (PLL) has: a fixed oscillator on the outside (12 MHz)

lower speed operation on the inside (e.g. 48 kHz).

Master Clock (MCLK)

The TMS320C5505 USB Stick uses a 32768 Hz crystal for the Master Clock (MCLK). The setup for 100 MHz is given in red.

Setting the ADC Gain

Microphones and guitars have low electrical output. Additional gain is required for these devices.

2010 Texas Instruments Inc

Chapter 2 - Slide 15

Setting the ADC Gain

The ADC gain is controlled by Register 59 and Register 60:

Chapter 2 - Slide 16

Range of Gain Values

The TLV320AIC3204 supports gains between 0 dB and 47.5 dB. In practical terms, intervals of 1 dB are perfectly adequate.

This also solves the problem of expressing 0.5 dB using fixed-point maths.

Chapter 2 - Slide 17

Gain in Decibels
The gain is expressed in terms of decibels (dB). A decibel is a ratio.

Gain in dB 20 log (

Chapter 2 - Slide 18

Useful Decibels
The following are decibel values and their ratio equivalents:

0 dB => 1:1
6 dB => 2:1

20 dB => 10:1
40 dB => 100:1

60 dB => 1000:1

C Code Implementation

2010 Texas Instruments Inc

Chapter 2 - Slide 20

New Function
The following C code function has been added to AIC3204_init.c
set_sampling_frequency_and_gain();

This function takes two parameters:

unsigned long SamplingFrequency; // Sampling frequency Hz unsigned int ADCgain; // Gain in dB

2010 Texas Instruments Inc

Chapter 2 - Slide 21

Sampling Frequencies
The sampling frequency can be any of the following:
48000 24000 16000 12000 9600 8000 6857

The default is 48000 Hz.

2010 Texas Instruments Inc

Chapter 2 - Slide 22

ADC Gain
The ADCgain takes a value between 0 and 48. 0 => 0 dB e.g. line input 30 => 30 dB e.g. microphone input 48 => 48 dB e.g. low output microphone input.

Electret Microphone
The TMS320C5505 USB Stick supports electret microphones.

It is necessary to turn on the MICBIAS power supply

Add the following line to aic3204_init.c: AIC3204_rset(51, 0x40); // Enable MICBIAS

Chapter 2 - Slide 25

Configuration Example
To configure the codec with: Sampling frequency 48000 Hz Gain 0dB Use following #defines in main.c: #define SAMPLES_PER_SECOND 48000 #define GAIN_IN_dB 0
