PCM1865: Power-Down Mode Settings

Part Number: PCM1865


Hello,

I'd like to know about the right procedure to have PCM1865 go into power-down mode. The supply voltages of the PCM1865 are 3.3 V.

Questions

  1. The section 13.3.77 of the data sheet says 01110b must always be written to RSV bits [7:3] of the register 112 (0x70) while the example in the section 11.5.1 shows 0x70=0x14 that writes 00010b to the RSV bits. Which is correct?
  2. The PCM1865's current consumption in power-down mode becomes different between the above two procedures. It's about 1.5 mA (4.95 mW) when 01110b is written to the RSV bits while it's roughly 0.4 mA (1.32 mW) when 00010b is set. This result indicates that the bits[6:5] of the register 112 makes the difference. What's the function of these bits?
  3. The PCM1865's current consumption in power-down mode won't go down as low as 0.59 mW as written in the section 11.5.1. The section 7.6 Electrical Characteristics: DC also specifies the typical total power of 0.644 mW under AVDD = DVDD = IOVDD = 3.3 V in standby mode for software device. What is correct?
    • Measurement results
      • 4.95 mW according to the section 13.3.77 (01110b to RSV bits of the register 112)
      • 1.32 mW according to the section 11.5.1 (00010b to RSV bits of the register 112)
    • Data sheet descriptions
      • 0.59 mW in the section 11.5.1
      • 0.644 mW (typical) in the section 7.6 Electrical Characteristics: DC

  • Hello,

    thank you for your question. Allow some time to receive a solution.   

  • Hello,

    To enter the power down mode in the power control register, you should toggle from the power up bit (0) to the power down bit (1); but to get the lowest power consumption, you should write 0x14 into the power control register.

    Best regards,

    Ore.

  • Ore,

    It appears that writing 0b to the PWRDN bit of the register 112 won't get the PCM1865 back to active mode. The current consumption is still low as 0.4 mA and the audio outputs are still muted.

    What's the correct way for the PCM1865 to move back to active mode?

    Is it OK to once reset the PCM1865 and rewrite the register settings to put it back to active mode instead of writing 0b to the PWRDN bit? Please let me know if there is any concern. The following is the current procedure to get the device back to active mode.

    0x00 ← 11111110b (FEh)
    0x00 ← 00000000b (00h)
    0x01 ← 00000000b (00h)
    0x02 ← 00000000b (00h)
    0x03 ← 00000000b (00h)
    0x04 ← 00000000b (00h)
    0x06 ← 01010000b (50h)
    0x07 ← 01010000b (50h)
    0x08 ← 01100000b (60h)
    0x09 ← 01100000b (60h)
    0x0B ← 00010011b (13h)
    0x0C ← 00000001b (01h)
    0x0D ← 10000001b (81h)
    0x71 ← 00010000b (10h)

    Any advice is appreciated.

    Best regards,

  • Hi,

    Apologies for the delay, Ore will continue thread asap.

    Regards,

  • Hello Shinichi,

    My apologies for the late response. It is acceptable to reset the PCM1865 and rewrite the register to get into the active mode. 

    Best regards, 

    Ore.
