SLASF35A January 2024 – March 2025 TAC5312-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
The TAC5312-Q1 supports voice activity detection (VAD) mode as part of low power activity detection (LPAD) schemes. In this mode, the TAC5312-Q1 continuously monitors one of the input channels for voice detection. The device consumes low quiescent current from the AVDD supply in this mode. This feature can be enabled by setting VAD_EN (P0_R120_D[2]) to 1'b1. On detecting voice activity, the TAC5312-Q1 can alert the host through an interrupt or auto wake up and start recording based on the I2C programmed configuration. This alert can be configured through the LPAD_MODE (P1_R30_D[7:6]) register bits.
This feature is supported on both the analog and digital microphone interfaces. For lowest power VAD, the digital microphone interface is recommended. The input channel for the VAD can be selected by setting the LPAD_CH_SEL (P1_R30_D[5:4]) register bits to an appropriate value. See the How to use the Voice Activity Detection in the TAx511x and TAx521x application report for further details.
