Hi,
Please see the now seemingly dead thread: "e2e.ti.com/.../499736" for more details.
I have TAS5717 set in BD mode and am observing some low level audio noise from the amplifier. The noise only starts up once the configuration settings have been written to the PA by the host processor and is there even if the volume is on mute. I have captured the noise spectrum on one of the images below and as you can see it loiters around 3 kHz and gradually it diminishes in volume.
If I play some music through the PA, the music is simply superimposed on top of the noise, meaning that you can hear both. The layout has been checked several times and it seems logical and close in topology to what is on the EVM kit. The PA is connected to a VLSI (VS1005) audio processor via I2S bus so I took a snap shot of the I2S traces whilst I could observe the noise from speakers. However, the noise seems there even when I2S is idle.
Everything with I2S seems as it should be so I measured the output from the amplifier on the right channel so these traces are + & - between the output pin and the inductor. There was no sound being played and the volume was mute...only noise could be heard. The red channel is the math channel.
There seems to be an offset between + & - traces so I am not sure if this could be causing the noise?
I also took a spectra of the acoustic noise...see below. It seems spread below 4kHz and kind of varies in intensity.
Any ideas welcome.
