TLV320AIC3204: Capacitive Load

Part Number: TLV320AIC3204

Team,

I’m working on a design using the TI TLV320AIC3204IRHBT CODEC and I’ve got a scenario where I have 6 CODECS on the same SPI bus with an FPGA as a bus master. I am trying to understand what sort of capacitive load the CODECs impose and can drive on their digital IOs. It looks like they have a 10pF input capacitance, but it’s unclear what they can reliably drive on a 10MHz SPI bus:

   

The “2 TTL loads” is the test condition. In my case I have 6 CODECs (10pF each) and the FPGA (4pF) on the MISO line, so ~64pF total. Would I be wrong to interpret the above data table to imply the CODEC IOs can drive 20pF?

Thanks for any further information on this part.

  • The above graph shows a Risetime(Tr) of 4ns for SCLK.     This is the time it takes the waveform to go from 10%-90%of Vcc.

    V=I*Tr  /C      Assume a standard load of 10p.

    i=V*C/TR

    I=2.6*10p/4ns

    I=6.5ma.   

    lets conservatively set I=5ma   Internal source or sink current

    For a Capacitive Load of 64p on MISO

    tr=v*C/I

    tr=2.64*64p/5ma

    tr=34ns

    It looks that the MISO gets slow rise and fall times of 33ns.   

    Please let me know your opinion..
