JAJSNO1A December 2023 – January 2025 TAC5112
PRODUCTION DATA
All audio data converters require a DC reference voltage. The TAC5112 achieves low-noise performance by internally generating a low-noise reference voltage. This reference voltage is generated using a band-gap circuit with high PSRR performance. This audio converter reference voltage must be filtered externally using a minimum 1µF capacitor connected from the VREF pin to the device ground (VSS).
The value of this reference voltage can be configured using the VREF_FSCALE (P0_R77_D[1:0]) register bits and must be set to an appropriate value based on the desired full-scale input for the device and the AVDD supply voltage available in the system. The default VREF value is set to 2.75V, which in turn supports a 2VRMS differential full-scale input to the device. The required minimum AVDD voltage for this mode is 3V. The TAC5112 also supports a high swing mode with 4VRMS differential swing which can be enabled by setting ADC_CHx_FULLSCALE_VAL (P0_R80_D[1] and P0_R85_D[1]) to 1'b1 for each channel independently. Table 7-15 lists the various VREF settings supported along with the required AVDD range and the supported full-scale input signal for that configuration.
P0_R77_D[1:0]: VREF_FSCALE[1:0] | VREF OUTPUT VOLTAGE | DIFFERENTIAL FULL-SCALE INPUT SUPPORTED | SINGLE-ENDED FULL-SCALE INPUT SUPPORTED | AVDD OPERATION MODE |
---|---|---|---|---|
00 (default) | 2.75V | 2VRMS (4 VRMS supported in high swing mode) | 1VRMS (2 VRMS supported in high swing mode) | AVDD 3.3V Operation |
01 | 2.5V | 1.818VRMS | 0.909VRMS | AVDD 3.3V Operation |
10 | 1.375V | 1VRMS | 0.5VRMS | AVDD 1.8V Operation |

To achieve low power consumption, this audio reference block is powered down during the sleep or software shutdown modes as described in Section 7.4. When exiting sleep mode, the audio reference block should be powered up by setting SLEEP_EXIT_VREF_EN (P0_R2_D[3]) to 1'b1. An internal fast-charge scheme helps the VREF pin settle to its steady-state voltage after the settling time (which is a function of the decoupling capacitor on the VREF pin). This time is approximately equal to 3.5ms when using a 1μF decoupling capacitor. If a higher-value decoupling capacitor is used on the VREF pin, the fast-charge setting must be reconfigured using the VREF_QCHG (P0_R2_D[5:4]) register bits, which support options of 3.5ms (default), 10ms, 50ms, or 100ms.
