6.4.2.6 Tone Generator

TAS2573 can generate internally a sine tone using an integrated tone generator. This feature is available only when the on chip DSP algorithms are disabled. The tone generator can be enabled by configuring the register bit INTERNAL_TONE_GEN_ENZ to low. The tone signal starts playing back on the output by configuring the INTERNAL_TONE_PLAYBACK_EN bit high. When set high, the device starts generating a sine tone based on the programmed TONE_GEN_CNTRL_xx registers. The tone generator can generate any frequency from 16Hz to a maximum frequency of 0.45*Fs, where Fs is the sampling rate of the input digital clocks. The amplitude of the tone signal can also be controlled using the TONE_GEN_CNTRL_xx registers. TI recommends to program the tone frequency and amplitude using the PPC3 Software.

The internally generated tone can be mixed with incoming audio stream, or can replace the input audio stream and only tone signal is generated using INTERNAL_TONE_MIXING_EN register.

Table 6-22 Internal tone generator mixing options
INTERNAL_TONE_MIXING_EN Configuration
0 Only internal tone is generated.
1(default) Internally generated tone is mixed with input audio data and played together.

The tone generator can use external clock source like BCLK, or the tone generator can be generated using internal oscillator to generate tone signals even with no external clock sources using INTERNAL_TONE_CLK_SEL register.

Table 6-23 Internal tone clock source selection
INTERNAL_TONE_CLK_SEL Configuration
0 (default) Tone generator uses external clocks
1 Tone generator uses internal oscillator
