Overview

The TLV320AIC3204EVM-K is a complete evaluation kit for the TLV320AIC3204, a low-power stereo audio codec with PowerTune technology. The system includes a motherboard and a daughterboard that facilitate easy testing of high-performance 32-bit audio conversion at sample rates up to 192kHz. It features a USB interface for direct connection to a PC, allowing engineers to interface with TI's graphical configuration software.

Why Choose This Part

The kit simplifies development by providing a built-in USB-to-I2C/SPI interface for real-time register control via a Graphical User Interface. Its modular design allows for the daughterboard to be separated for use with custom hardware platforms or different host controllers.

Applications

Portable Audio Systems
Evaluating low-power consumption profiles for battery-operated wireless speakers and headsets.
Voice Over IP (VoIP)
Prototyping noise-cancellation and echo-reduction algorithms using the integrated analog and digital signal processing blocks.
High-Fidelity Audio Processing
Developing high-resolution 192kHz sampling systems for premium consumer electronics.
USB Audio Peripherals
Testing USB-connected audio interfaces such as external sound cards and recording pre-amps.

Getting Started

Connect the EVM to a PC using the provided USB cable and download the TLV320AIC3204 Evaluation Software to begin configuring the internal registers. Use the onboard jumpers to select between USB-sourced power or an external 6V to 10V DC power supply depending on your noise sensitivity requirements.

Also Consider

TLV320AIC3104EVM-K TITexas Instruments - An alternative if you require a lower-cost stereo codec for standard performance audio applications.
PCM1862EVM TITexas Instruments - Ideal if the primary design requirement is high-performance software-controlled ADC rather than a full transceiver CODEC.
