Design files

Overview

This reference design for the audio subsystem of a humanoid robot contains an 8-channel digital microphone interface, which is processed into a single TDM data stream by the high-performance PDM to TDM converter PCMD3180-Q1, and includes a digital input Class-D audio amplifier TAS6511-Q1 to deliver 50W output power to a 2ΩΩ load.

Features
  • 4.5V to 19V input voltage range
  • 8-channel pulse density modulation (PDM) microphones simultaneous conversion
  • 50W output power delivered through a 2Ω load
  • Programmable digital volume control
  • External ASI and I2C headers for connection with system processor
  • Integrated with Audio Converters motherboard for PC audio and programming option
  • Bill of materials (BOM) size highlighted
