TLV320DAC3100: TLV320DAC3100

Part Number: TLV320DAC3100
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TLV320DAC3101, TAS2505, TAS2552, TPL0401A-10

Hi,

I'm using TLV320DAC3100  Low-Power Stereo Audio DAC in my project. I'm planning to use two 2W 8ohm speakers in this amplifier. Since this is Mono Class-D BTL Speaker Driver, please let me know for any alternate part for dual speaker support or same I can use in this project.

Also please provide the usage of MUTE and VOLUME control pin.

Regards,

Chithraj S

  • Hi Chithraj,

    You may check if TLV320DAC3101 can support this application. It is rated for slightly lower than 2W @ 8Ohm.
    If higher power and stereo are both required, you may need to change into higher voltage rated devices. If 2xmono is an option then you can consider something like TAS2505, TAS2552/53 or TLV320DAC3100/20 using SPKVDD = 5.5V

    If you need details on VOLUME control pin, you can refer to D/S section 6.3.10.3: https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tlv320dac3100.pdf#page=34&zoom=100,0,800
    This feature can be enabled or disabled, as there is digital volume control already, along with analog gain controls depending on the driver being used (HP or Speaker).

  • Hi Ivan Salazar,

    Thanks for your support.

    I have some queries regarding the same part TLV320DAC3100. Is it possible to convert the Class A/B Headphone/Lineout driver pins HPL and HPR to similar function as Mono Class-D speaker driver pins SPKP and SPKM. If its possible kindly suggest which kind of amplifier IC part I can use to convert it to drive 2.5W speaker.

    Please provide your inputs for the same.

  • Hi Chithraj,

    Unfortunately I don't think there is a device capable or readjusting in such way to drive Class-D speaker output from other function pins.

  • Hi Ivan Salazar,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I'm working on this. Is it possible to control the volume of HPL and HPR pins by changing the values of the SW registers mentioned in the attachment.

    Please confirm the same.

    Regards,

  • Hi Chithraj,

    Yes, there are several different sections where you can add gain/attenuation along with signal path, specifically for HP outputs it's the digital gain in the DAC, an analog attenuation PGA and analog gain at the Class-AB driver:

  • Hi Ivan Salazar,

    Thank you for the confirmation regarding the volume control details. I'm planning to use this digital potentiometer part TPL0401A-10 controlled with I2C interface and 128 steps for the volume control only for HPL HPR pins for the same amplifier TLV320DAC3100.

    Please suggest your inputs.

  • Hi Chithraj ,

    If you're planning to use a potentiometer for volume control, then I think you may use VOL/MICDET pin instead. Further details in section 6.3.10.3 from D/S: https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tlv320dac3100.pdf#page=34&zoom=100,0,800

  • Dear Ivan Salazar,

    As per our requirement, we need to control the volume(High, Low & Mute) externally through some kind of switches(Eg: Push button).

    So providing digital potentiometer to the VOL/MICDET pin, is it possible to control the volume externally as per the above requirement?

    Please suggest.

    Regards,

    Chithraj S

  • Chithraj,

    The volume control feature on VOL/MICDET pin is basically an ADC input which can vary the digital gain from Mute to 18dB (7-bit resolution).
    If you need only 3 different levels, you may set a variable resistance to match the desired values, take into consideration that VREF for the ADC is AVDD.

    Details in the implementation of this volume control feature is in Figure 6-16 from the same D/S section I mentioned before.
