TIDC-WL1837MOD-AUDIO-MULTIROOM-CAPE: PCM CLock jitter @ 2MHz ,BT as master

Part Number: TIDC-WL1837MOD-AUDIO-MULTIROOM-CAPE
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: WL1837

Hi,  all

     our customer used our module(WL1837), and configued the WL1837's BT as the master

if   the PCM-CLK configued to 2MHz(or 1MHz), there is  a jitter cr ossing with the PCM_CLK(on calling).

and  if configued to 256KHz(or  512KHz),the PCM-CLK is OK. 

The issue is the same when  we used the TI’S WL1837 EVB(configued to 2048 and set loopback mode ) 

So if the PCM_CLK  of  WL1837 chipset  can’t support  the high  frequence (>512KHz)  when  BT configured to be master?

or there are other  reasons? 

Expect  your  reply  ,TKS

  • Hello TKS,

    i presume when you say we are master - that means Master on the PCM and not master in the connection.

    I will check and see if i can find a HW expert - however why do you need to configure the PCM_CLK to 1-2Mhz?

    Any specific reason?

    BR,

  • Hi ,Loewy
    TKS for reply . Yes ,you are right . Master is just on the PCM.
    Our customers are using BT stack of the third Party which configure different BTS file according to customers's different requirements.
    The PCM_CLK can support the Max 6MHz in the datasheet of WL1837, So one of our customer just uses the PCM_CLK 2Mhz
    and find the issure.
  • user5290702,

    Can you provide the average Frequency across say a half second of clock cycles? Can you also provide the the frequency shift number you are seeing? Example: You seeing two frequencies, 2.1MHz and 1.9 MHz (This is Shifting back and forth by .2 MHz)

    Thanks,

    VR
  • Hi, Vincent

      we configured the PCM_clk   to  256KHz  on the TI'S  1837 EVB,  there  was  a shift accrossing with the PCM_clk.

    the Space is  about 40nS   however the PCM-clk configured  to  2048KHz  or  256KHz(128KHz).

    So wthink  there were some bugs  in winlink chip-sets   or   the bits file  and  other .

    the attachment  show  the measurent ,pls  check

  • Hi Loewy
    can you find a HW expert who can resolve the issure? TKS
    the customer is expecting TI's reply
  • Hi,

    The PCM clock signal is generated from the WL18xx fast clock (26MHz on the WL183XMOD). Since either 2048kHz, 256kHz or 128kHz can not be generated by dividing the 26MHz fast clock, there might be a 1 fast clock cycle (~38.5nS) lag or lead once in a while to compensate for this.

    Please see if you see the same behavior when setting the PCM clock to 1625kHz (1/16 * 26MHz) or 3250kHz (1/8 * 26MHz).

    Best regards,
    Vihang
