TLV320AIC3204: Microphone sometimes does not produce audio

Part Number: TLV320AIC3204


Hello,

I have the following issue with a differential microphone connected to In2_R and In2_L.

(Input and Output only use the left channel)

Sometimes after starting the AIC it does not convert the microphone input signal to data instead it just outputs noise, like no microphone is connected.

Unplugging and plugging the XLR microphone back into the 3 Pin connector resolves this problem for the current session.

Changing Page 1 Reg 52 or 54 from 0x10 to 0x00 and back to 0x10 also fixes the issue for the current session. Just writing 0x10 without setting it to 0x00 does not fix it...

After Starting the AIC the flags in page 1 register 0x42 are 0x6E indicating an Left ADC Overflow. (The microphone is connected to the left PGA). Reading the flag once resets it to 0x60.

I have attached a register dump of the aic while the error is present, the dump shows the same values in the error case as during normal operation.

  • Hello Achim,

    Thanks for providing the register dump. Can you also provide the relevant portion of the schematic?

    Regards,

    Aaron 

  • Hello Aaron,

    apollogys for the late replay,

    here is the relevant section of the scematic:

    We use the JB30 Microphone jb-systems.eu/jb30

    The unused audio inputs are tied together and ac connected to GND via a 300nF capacitor.

    The before mentioned temporary fix by unplugging and plugging the microphone back in does only work when the mic-bias voltage is connected to the microphone.

    We don't use the bias voltage with this microphone since it is not necessary for this type (moving coil dynamic element). The problem persists with or without connected mic-bias.

    Regards,

    Achim

  • Hello Achim,

    An overflow indicates saturation of the ADC and may be why the noise may be emitting. Can you try and lower the MICPGA gain and see if this affects the noise? This can be done in P1 Reg. 59.

    Regards,

    Aaron
