TLV320AIC3120: Do HPVDD and SPKVDD need to be connected even without speaker?

Part Number: TLV320AIC3120

Same question about SPKVDD was answered here: https://e2e.ti.com/support/audio-group/audio/f/audio-forum/1025943/tlv320aic3120-some-questions/3793863?tisearch=e2e-sitesearch&keymatch=TLV320AIC3120%25252520AVDD#3793863

But it didn't mention HPVDD, does HPVDD require connection as well even without a speaker?

  • Hello Cameron,

    Yes, the connection is required, and the same logic is applied.

    HPVDD can be tied to AVDD and must not be less than the AVDD voltage level. If headphone operation is not desired, register settings can be kept at the default state of power down to ensure minimum current drawn from the HPVDD power-rail.

    I hope this helps.

    Best,
    Andrew
