TLV320DAC3101: TLV320DAC3101-Noise

Part Number: TLV320DAC3101

Hi Ti Team,

 My customer found abnormal sound output from TLV320DAC3101 when changing audio channels. Is there any solution? 

  • Hello , Could you provide more and specific information ?  any other information you can provide> What is "an abnormal sound"? do they hear it on the original channel or on the one they change to? 

    we need more specific information to understand the issue.

    Regards,

    Arash

  • Hi Arash,

    1. At present, my customer has 3 channels of audio signals input to TLV320DAC3101, WIFI and BLE two channels of audio signals are input from I2S, and AIN1/AIN2 are connected to mobile phones or local music.
    2. The two audio signals of WIFI and BLE are input from I2S,There is no problem with this channel. When the signal is switched to AIN1/AIN2,there will be POP sound. Try to switch the Analog output Mute first and then switch AIN1/AIN2 to Analog When the output is turned on, the POP sound still exists when the Analog output is turned on. At the same time, the POP sound will be emitted when the music is played.
    3. Turn off Class D Power and then switch AIN1/AIN2 to turn on Class D Power. The POP sound still exists when Class D Power is turned on. At the same time, POP sound will be emitted at the beginning of playing music.
    4. The two methods of Analog output Mute and Class D Power Down did not find POP tones in the TI EVM test, but the POP tones can be reproduced 100% on the customer board. Please help to see if there is a problem with the schematic and code

  • Hi, We're currently going through your description and configuration script, we'll provide further comments today by the end of the day.

  • Hi, Is my understanding correct, based on bullet #4, that you're not getting the pop on the EVM, but only on custom board?
    Can you share some more details on the analog input connection on the schematic? What are the differences compared to the EVM? The schematic shows very little from the audio signal paths.

    Does the pop occur when you change change to analog input? Or when powering up the output? I'm not clear if it's always the same or the pop happens at different moments depending on the test. If you can provide a list of the tests you're doing, and when pop is observed, it would be helpful.

    However if pop is not observable on the EVM it may be hard to debug on our side.

    Best regards.

  • Hi Ivan,

    1,Is my understanding correct, based on bullet #4, that you're not getting the pop on the EVM, but only on custom board?

     Yes,POP only on custom board.


    2,Can you share some more details on the analog input connection on the schematic? What are the differences compared to the EVM? The schematic shows very little from the audio signal paths.

    Please see the attachment for the detailed path

    3,Does the pop occur when you change change to analog input? Or when powering up the output? I'm not clear if it's always the same or the pop happens at different moments depending on the test. If you can provide a list of the tests you're doing, and when pop is observed, it would be helpful.

    As long as you switch AN1/AN2, there will be POP 

  • Hi, Thanks, I understand pop is present when using AN1/AN2, is it happening when enabling this feature? Or when powering or unmuting the output driver? If I can't reproduce the issue I need as much details as possible to understand what is the behavior.

    I'll check the additional information and provide further comments in a couple more days.

    Best regards.

  • Hi, From the additional information from your attached file, it seems there are no coupling capacitors at all between the audio decoder and the analog inputs of TLV320DAC3101. Please place a couple of series capacitors in these lines for AC-coupling, pop may be caused by conflict between the internal bias of both devices.
