The TLV320AIC3109-Q1 is a highly integrated low-power mono audio codec with integrated headphone and line amplifiers. All features of the TLV320AIC3109-Q1 are accessed by programmable registers. An external processor with I2C protocol is required to control the device. Good practice is to perform a hardware reset after initial power-up to ensure that all registers are in default states. Extensive register-based power control is included, enabling mono 48-kHz DAC playback as low as 14-mW from a 3.3-V analog supply, making the device ideal for portable battery-powered audio applications.
Governing bodies around the world have implemented specific legislation to require automotive companies to install emergency call (E-Call) systems in order to reduce emergency response times and thereby save lives. E-Call systems are activated during a collision or emergency situation and automatically facilitate a call to emergency services. The state of a vehicle after a collision is difficult to predict and can include a disconnected battery, trapped passengers, and a noisy environment. For this reason, the E-Call module must have its own battery power source and be able to sustain a hands-free call for at least ten minutes (depending on specific regional legislation). The TLV320AIC3109-Q1 as an audio codec and the TAS5411-Q1 as an audio amplifier are optimal choices for an E-Call application because these devices offers low power consumption and still allow a loud and clear conversation with an emergency operator.
Table 166 shows the parameters used for this application.

Total power consumption | 20 mW |
The audio codec in an E-Call system must be able to support full duplex communication between the digital audio source from the wireless module, the microphone input, and the speaker output. The TLV320AIC3109-Q1 is a mono audio codec that meets the low power requirements and has all the features necessary for an E-Call application.
The wireless module communicates to the audio codec through I2S interface. The class-D amplifier must maintain sufficient output power to drive the speaker to the specified audio level with sufficient audio quality. The amplifier must also have high efficiency to optimize power consumption and good EMI, EMC performance. In addition, many E-Call systems require speaker diagnostics and device protection circuitry.
The TLV320AIC3109-Q1 is a low-power mono audio codec that integrates a mono preamplifier and offers multiple inputs and outputs that are programmable in single-ended or fully differential configurations. The TLV320AIC3109-Q1 flexible configuration allows certain internal blocks to be enabled or bypassed. This flexibility allows for optimal power consumption, which is very important for E-Call systems.
The TAS5411-Q1 is a mono digital class-D audio amplifier ideal for use in automotive emergency call, telematics, instrument cluster, and infotainment applications. The device provides up to 8 W into 4 Ω at less than 10% THD+N from a 14.4-Vdc automotive battery. The wide operating voltage range and excellent efficiency make the device ideal for start-stop support or running from a backup battery when required. The integrated load-dump protection reduces external voltage clamp cost and size, and the onboard load diagnostics report the status of the speaker through I2C interface.
Following the recommended component placement (see the schematic layout and routing provided in the Layout section), integrate the TLV320AIC3109-Q1 and supporting components into the system PCB design.
Determining sample rate and master clock frequency is required because all internal timing are derived from the master clock during power-up. See the Audio Clock Generation section for more information on how to configure the required clocks for the device.
When powered up, the device has several features powered down because the audio codec device is designed for low-power applications. Correct routing of the signals internal to the TLV320AIC3109-Q1 is achieved by correctly setting the device registers, powering up the required stages of the device, and configuring the internal switches for desired performance.
As shown in Figure 189, the TAS5411-Q1 can reach up to 83% into a 4-Ω load. Output power can be up to 8 W at 10% THD+N into a 4-Ω load.
The TLV320AIC3109-Q1 features a configurable MICBIAS level (that is, 2 V, 2.5 V, or AVDD). As shown in Figure 190, 2-V and 2.5-V MICBIAS levels remain stable with changes in the AVDD supply voltage. When the MICBIAS output voltage is configured as AVDD, the MICBIAS output voltage follows AVDD.
