Figure 2-1. AC-MB Audio Serial Interface Routing

Switch SW2 on the AC-MB selects the audio serial bus that interfaces with the TAS2574EVM daughter card.

Next to switch SW2, the AC-MB has a quick reference table to identify the audio serial interface source options

and switch settings. The AC-MB acts as the controller for the audio serial interface, with three different modes of

operation: USB, optical or analog, or external ASI.

2.1.2 USB

The serial interface clocks and data are provided from the USB interface. The sampling rate and format are

determined by the USB audio class driver on the operating system.

The default settings for the USB audio interface are 32-bit frame size, 48-kHz sampling rate, BCLK and FSYNC

ratio is 256, and the format is time division multiplexing (TDM).

The AC-MB is detected by the OS as an audio device with the name TI USB Audio UAC2.0. Figure 2-2

illustrates the AC-MB audio setting for the USB mode of operation.

2.2 AC-MB Power Supply

The AC-MB motherboard is powered from a single 5-V power supply. However, the motherboard has different

low-dropout regulators (LDOs) integrated that provide the required power supplies to the different blocks of

the board. Figure 3-1 shows a block diagram depicting the power structure of the AC-MB. The AC-MB can

be powered from the host computer by using the USB 5-V power supply (VBUS) by shorting header J5, USB

POWER. Additionally, the AC-MB can be powered from an external power supply connected to terminal J4,

EXTERNAL POWER. Header J5 must be open for external supply operation. The IOVDD voltage for the digital

signals that is provided to the evaluation module is generated on the motherboard from the main power supply

(USB or external). The voltage levels available are 1.2V, 1.8V and 3.3V, and can be selected via the J3 header

IOVDD. Default setting for TAS2574EVM operation is 1.8V; 3.3V operation cannot be used for TAS2574EVM.

When the motherboard is fully powered and the power supplies from the onboard LDOs are correct, the

green POWER LED (D3) turns ON. The USB READY LED indicates that a successful USB communication is

established between the AC-MB and the host computer.

the table provided in the silk screen of the PCB. Make sure both the devices have different target address.

Figure 2-7. DIP Switch S2-S3 for I2C Address Selection

2.5 IOVDD and AVDD Power Supply Options on EVM

TAS2574EVM daughter card provide multiple flexible options for IOVDD_BUFF, IOVDD and AVDD power

supplies. There are options to select between internal or external voltage sources for each of these supplies

individually.

IOVDD_BUFF is 1.8V power supply, which is used for the buffers and voltage translators.

IOVDD is the input/output power supply for TAS2574 device, which can be either 1.2V or 1.8V.

AVDD is the analog power supply for TAS2574 device, which is 1.8V fixed. If using IOVDD_MB from AC-MB as

1.2V, then make sure to select AVDD source to be either external or +1.8V_LDO.

Figure 6-1shows the default jumper setting for IOVDD_BUFF, IOVDD and AVDD. By default, 1.8V coming from

the AC-MB motherboard (IOVDD_MB) has been selected for IOVDD_BUFF, IOVDD and AVDD with the help of

jumper J9, J5 and J11.

There are 1.8V and 3.3V LDOs included in the EVM. These LDOs are powered from the supply connected to

J43, or these can be supplied either from 5 V rail coming from AC-MB, depending on the configuration of jumper

J45.

2.6 VBAT Power Supply for TAS2574 on EVM

By default, the barrel jack connector J43 is used to power VBAT on both TAS2574 channels. Supply 2.4V-5.5V

on this connector.

Alternatively, independent connectors can be used for the external VBAT supply for both the channels –

VBAT1_IN and VBAT2_IN. Jumpers J39 and J46 must be open to disconnect VBAT to VBAT1_IN form J43

input, and similarly J41 and J49 must be open to disconnect VBAT to VBAT2_IN from J43 input.

For channel-1, external VBAT1_IN can be connected between connectors J30 (or J72) and J31 (or J73) as

shown in Figure 7-1.

For channel-2, external VBAT2_IN can be connected between connectors J55 (or J58) and J3 (or J59) as shown

in Figure 7-1.

TAS2574 Evaluation Module 9

2.6.1 VBAT 2S EVM Hardware Configuration

This section shows how to set the EVM jumpers in order to evaluate TAS2574EVM in a 2 S battery application

for VBAT as depicted in Figure 1-2.

In this case, VBAT pin C1 must still be connected to a power supply range from 3 V up to 5 V, while VBAT_SNS

and the boost inductor can be connected to a higher 2 S supply range from 4.5V up to 9 V.

• VBAT pin C1 connection can be connected to USB-5V by changing J56 position to 2-3 instead of 1-2.

• VBAT_SNS pin C4 connection can be modified using J28, this connection is optional.

• 2 S VBAT supply is directly available at J30 (or J72) and J31 (or J73) for channel-1 and J55 (or J58) and

J3 (or J59) for channel-2. If using J43 to supply 2 S battery voltage, then make sure to change J45 to use

+5V_MB instead.

2.6.2 VBAT 3S EVM Hardware Configuration

This section shows how to set the EVM jumpers in order to evaluate TAS2574EVM in a 3 S battery application

for VBAT as depicted in Figure 1-3.

VBAT pin C1 must still be connected to a power supply range from 3 V up to 5 V. VBAT_SNS cannot be used

so VBAT_SNS must be shorted to GND. The internal boost is not used, so the SW pins are left floating and the

inductor can be removed from the circuit.

3 S battery supply range from VBAT pin C1 level up to 14 V is directly connected to PVDD node, the decoupling

capacitors and GREG capacitor are still required.

• VBAT pin C1 connection can be connected to USB-5V by changing J56 position to 2-3 instead of 1-2.

• VBAT_SNS pin C4 connection must be left as default with J28 shorted across pins 2-3.

• 3 S VBAT supply must be connected to J1 for channel-1 and J12 for channel-2, short the jumpers across J29

and J32.

2.7 1-Channel Configuration

When only one of the amplifiers on the TAS2574EVM is required, the other device can be completely isolated

from the circuit. This section includes instructions on how to disconnect U2, however the same procedure can be

applied to disconnect U1.

• The block of jumpers from J98 through J33 must be disconnected, as well as J57 and J52 in the same row.

This removes all digital signals and VBAT supply as well.

• J34 and J35 to the left of U2 must be disconnected as well. This removes IOVDD and AVDD supplies.

• J41 and J49 must be disconnected as well. This removes VBAT connection from J43 to the boost inductor.

2.8 4-Channel Configuration

Two dual-mono EVMs can be interconnected using J75 and J76 headers, mounting one EVM on top of another.

This enables the evaluation of a total of 4 audio channels.

When 2 EVMs are interconnected, the following jumper configuration must be considered:

• Short jumper J51 on one of the EVMs, this jumper is open by default.

• Open jumpers J19 and J20 on both EVMs, these jumpers are shorted by default.

In addition to the jumper configurations, make sure each amplifier is set for a different I2C address using S2 and

S3 on each EVM.
