  • Hi,

    Could you please tell us the operation of the input/output automute delay in detail regarding the automute control register(0x14)?
    We believe that this operation means that TAS5538 detects the audio source level less than the automute threshold level, the time before starting the automute mode is the automute delay.
    Is our understanding correct?
    In addition, is the automute operation canceled if detecting the audio source level more than the automute threshold level during the automute delay?

  • Hi,

    Could you please tell us the behavior of VALID pin in the input and output automuto mode?
    The VALID pin is kept high when TAS5538 detects the input automute.
    On the other hand, the VALID pin is asserted low when TAS5538 detects the output automute.
    Are those behaviors of VALID pin correct?

  • Hi Kato-san:

    Q1 - Please don't use the settings for register, except for bit D7 and D4.  This is for very old power stages TAS5110, etc.  Which we don't support anymore.  This should be deleted in the data sheet.  You can check the latest TAS5558, these are reserved.  When fault pin from power stage is connected to the back end pin, the modulator has a sequence of turning it off and on for pop.  I highly recommend keeping this bit (D7) enabled.  Bit D4 should be self-explanatory.

    Q2/3 - I have to check bits D5 and D6 to make sure the functions.

    Q4 - Valid is only asserted (high) when:  Reset-de-assert, PDN-de-assert, BKND_ERROR-de-assert, Automute-de-assert.

    Q5 - Yes, that is correct.

    Q6 - It is the time when the threshold is reached (detected) to when valid is either asserted or de-asserted.  Your understanding is correct.

     

    Best regards,

    Tuan

  • Hi Tuan-san,

    Thank you for replying to me even though you are busy.
    I have one more question as below.

    Q2/3: Could you please tell me the specification and the function in detail regarding the channel group(D5) and all channel automute timeout(D6)?

    Best Regards,
    Kato

  • Hi Kato-san:

    D5-Channel group ... there are four channel groups 1(ch1, ch2, ch7), 2(ch3, ch4), 3(ch5, ch6), 4(ch8).  The intention was to establish each auto-mute threshold for each of these group.  The "disable" means no group.  So whichever channel has lower threshold will go into auto-mute.  The "enable" means, each group will have different threshold.  This function was not implemented in TAS5538.  The register should have been reserved.

    D6-All-channel auto-mute timeout disable ... this function also was not implemented in TAS5538.  The intention was to implement an auto-mute in the PWM block.  And this bit can disable or enable the automute time in PWM block.  So bit D6 is also reserved.

    Best regards,

    Tuan

  • Hi Tuan-san,

    Thank you for your reply.

  • Hi Tuan-san,

    Please allow me to ask you additional questions which I obtained from our customer as below.

    1. When Asserting D6 and D5 of the register 0x04 to high
    How does TAS5538 work if the D6 and D5 of the register 0x04 is asserted to high?

    2. When Asserting the reserved bits of the register 0x05~0x0C to high
    How does TAS5538 work if the reserved bits of the register 0x05~0x0C is asserted to high, except D4 and D7?

    Best Regards,
    Kato

  • Hi Tuan-san,

    I have one more question as below.

    3. When Asserting D1 of the register 0x05~0x0C to high
    How does TAS5538 work if the D1 of register 0x05~0x0C is asserted to high?
    The noise occurs during the reproduction of the low frequency data if the D1 is asserted to low in the BD mode.
    However, that noise is improved if the D1 is asserted to high and the value of the register 0x38~0x03F which is 8 interchannel channel delay registers is adjusted.
    Could you please tell us that technical operation mechanism?

    Best Regards,
    Kato

  • Hello Tuan-san, team,

    Can you please update this plate for Kato-san?

    We are facing at a big complain from customer since our response is extremely slow.

    We need to update cutomer by tomorrow so please help us to proceed the case otherwise there would be no way that we say US site is shut off now due to xmas holiday period.

    Hope we can hear from you.

    Thank you and best regards,

  • Hi Tuan-san,

    Could you please update regarding the following questions since I have to reply the information to our customer by January 5(JST)?

    1. When Asserting D6 and D5 of the register 0x04 to high
    How does TAS5538 work if the D6 and D5 of the register 0x04 is asserted to high?
    Is my understanding correct although I believe that nothing changes?

    2. When Asserting the reserved bits of the register 0x05~0x0C to high
    How does TAS5538 work if the reserved bits of the register 0x05~0x0C is asserted to high, except D4 and D7?

    3. When Asserting D1 of the register 0x05~0x0C to high
    How does TAS5538 work if the D1 of register 0x05~0x0C is asserted to high?
    The noise occurs during the reproduction of the low frequency data if the D1 is asserted to low in the BD mode.
    However, that noise is improved if the D1 is asserted to high and the value of the register 0x38~0x03F which is 8 interchannel channel delay registers is adjusted.

  • Hello Kato-san,
    Happy New Year. Sorry, I was on vacation and couldn't answer your question sooner.
    1. As mentioned in previous post, these should be reserved registers since the function was not implemented. The designers may have used it for interal parameters or other uses. Please do not change the default settings. It may not affect anything. However in some conditions, the designers may use them for internal usage.
    2. Again, reserved bits should not be altered. Please keep the default settings.
    3. This bit is also reserved. In transition from TAS5508C to TAS5538, the designer may have used it for internal usage and is not meant for the customer's usage. Please keep this in default setting.
    Best regards,Tuan
  • Hi Tuan-san,

    Happy New Year.
    Thank you always for your kind support.
    Could you please share more detailed technical information if possible since our customer does not readily understand regarding Q1 and Q3?
