6.1 Overview

The TAD5212-Q1 is from a scalable family of audio converter devices. As s part of the extended family of devices, the TAD5212-Q1 consists of a high-performance, flexible stereo differential and quad single-ended audio digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with extensive feature integration. This device is intended for broad market applications such as home theater and entertainment speakers, AV receivers, portable audio devices, professional audio, and multimedia applications. This device integrates a host of features that reduce cost, board space, and power consumption in space-constrained automotive sub-system designs. Package, performance, and device-compatible configuration registers make this device an excellent fit for scalable system designs.

The TAD5212-Q1 consists of the following blocks:

  • 4-channel, multibit, high-performance delta-sigma (ΔΣ) DACs
  • Configurable single-ended, differential or pseudo-differential audio outputs
  • Advanced thermal foldback and protection
  • Advanced battery guard and distortion limiter
  • Low-noise programmable microphone bias output
  • Up to 4 pulse density modulation (PDM) digital microphone interface with a high-performance decimation filter
  • Programmable decimation and interpolation filters with linear-phase, low-latency and ultra low-latency response options
  • Programmable channel gain, volume control, and biquad filters for each record and playback channel
  • Programmable phase and gain calibration with fine resolution for each record channel
  • Programmable high-pass filter (HPF) and digital channel mixer for record and playback channels
  • Automatic gain controller (AGC) for PDM record channels and dynamic range controller (DRC) for DAC playback channels
  • Dual I2S or TDM interface with independent sample rate (synchronous)
  • Synchronous sample rate converter (SRC)
  • Integrated low-jitter, phase-locked loop (PLL) supporting a wide range of system clocks
  • Integrated digital and analog voltage regulators to support single-supply operation

Communication to the TAD5212-Q1 for configuring the control registers is supported using an I2C and SPI interface. The device supports a highly flexible audio serial interface [time-division multiplexing (TDM), I2S, or left-justified (LJ)] to transmit audio data seamlessly in the system across devices.

The TAD5212 can support multiple devices by sharing the common TDM bus across devices. Moreover, the device includes a daisy-chain feature as well. These features relax the shared TDM bus timing requirements and board design complexities when operating multiple devices for applications requiring high audio data bandwidth.

Table 6-1 lists the reference abbreviations used throughout this document to registers that control the device.
