Product details
Overview
TAS3108DCP from Texas Instruments is a fully programmable 8-channel audio digital signal processor (DSP) with integrated 8051 microcontroller, 48-bit data path, 28-bit coefficients, and 76-bit MAC. It supports sample rates from 32 kHz to 192 kHz, operates on a single 3.3-V supply, and delivers >2800 processing cycles per sample at 48 kHz - enabling real-time equalization, volume control, and format conversion in automotive sound systems and home theater receivers.
For engineers reviewing the TAS3108DCP datasheet, TAS3108DCP pinout, TAS3108DCP application, or TAS3108DCP equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed I2C dual-port behavior, exact TDM/2-channel serial audio format support, and manufacturer-confirmed AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification for automotive thermal environments.
Technical Context
The TAS3108DCP integrates a fixed-point audio DSP core with 48-bit data path and 28-bit coefficient memory, paired with an embedded M8051Warp microprocessor managing I2C bootloading, GPIO configuration, and SAP timing control. Its dual I2C interface includes one slave port (SDA1/SCL1) for system controller communication and one master port (SDA2/SCL2) for EEPROM-based firmware loading.
Serial audio handling supports independent input/output data formats across four SDIN/SDOUT pairs, with configurable TDM (4/6/8-channel) and stereo (I2S/left/right-justified) modes. Clock operation is flexible: it accepts 6–24.576 MHz MCLKI or crystal input, and can act as clock master (generating MCLKO, SCLKOUT1/2, LRCLK) or slave - though clock error detection is not implemented.
Key Specifications
