[FAQ] TLV320AIC3254: TLV320AIC32xx Family Beep Generator Configuration

Part Number: TLV320AIC3254
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: , TLV320AIC3120, TLV320AIC3100, TLV320AIC3206, TLV320AIC3110, TLV320AIC3204, TLV320AIC3253, TLV320AIC3256, TLV320AIC3111, TLV320DAC3203

How do I configure beep generator in the TLV320AIC3254 and other similar devices in the family?

  • The Beep Generator configuration is described in this application report: http://www.ti.com/lit/an/slaa446/slaa446.pdf

    Below is an example script for configuring the TLV320AIC3254EVM-K for beep generation. Note that the configuration for other EVMs will be different, but the beep generator section would be the same. The important detail is that PRB_P25 is selected and the MDAC*DOSR value is proper (refer to the resource class (RC) in the device datasheet and application reference guide).

    BEEP.txt

    For the devices described above, whenever the Beep command is issued (Page 0 / Register 71, D7 = '1'), NDAC needs to be off to prevent audio glitches. The following script provides an example of doing this on-the-fly without audible clicks or pops: 

    w 30 00 00              # Page 0
    w 30 40 0C              # Mute DACs
    f 30 26 xxx1xxx1        # Wait for mute flag
    w 30 0B 02              # Turn off NDAC
    w 30 47 8C              # Beep!, -6dB Gain
    w 30 0B 82              # Turn on NDAC
    w 30 40 00              # Un-mute DACs
    f 30 47 0xxxxxxx        # Wait for beep to finish

    The command 'f' polls registers until a bit is set '1' or cleared '0'. The 'x' is don't care.
