Product details
Overview
TAS3108DCPR 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, 16–32-bit word sizes, and TDM/I2S/left/right-justified serial audio formats. Used in high-fidelity automotive and home audio systems for real-time equalization, mixing, and volume control.
For engineers reviewing the TAS3108DCPR datasheet, TAS3108DCPR pinout, TAS3108DCPR application, or TAS3108DCPR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed audio processing capabilities, and precise alternative part comparisons - all grounded in TI's SLES152B datasheet and official package documentation.
Technical Context
The TAS3108DCPR integrates a fixed-point audio DSP core with 48-bit data path and 28-bit coefficient memory, executing up to five operations per clock cycle at 135 MHz max speed. Its dual I2C interface includes slave port (SDA1/SCL1) for system control and master port (SDA2/SCL2) for EEPROM boot loading.
It features four independent serial audio ports (SDIN1–4 / SDOUT1–4), supporting simultaneous 2-channel and TDM (4/6/8-channel) operation with format conversion (e.g., I2S ↔ left-justified). Clock architecture allows both master (MCLKO/SCLKOUT1/2) and slave (MCLKI/SCLKIN) modes, with PLL-based clock generation from 6–24.576 MHz crystal or MCLK input.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SDIN1–SDIN4 | Serial audio input channels | Accept 2-channel or TDM (4/6/8-ch) data in I2S/left/right-justified formats; SDIN1 supports full TDM |
| SDOUT1–SDOUT4 | Serial audio output channels | Output processed audio; SDOUT1 active in TDM mode; all support independent format selection |
| MCLKI / MCLKO | Master clock I/O | MCLKI accepts 6–24.576 MHz reference; MCLKO outputs derived clock for system synchronization |
| SCLKIN / SCLKOUT1 / SCLKOUT2 | Bit clock I/O | SCLKIN receives bit clock in slave mode; SCLKOUT1 clocks inputs, SCLKOUT2 clocks outputs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar audio DSP applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TAS3108IA | Identical architecture and pinout; qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (–40°C to 105°C) | Required for under-hood or dashboard-mounted automotive audio modules | Select TAS3108IA when operating temperature exceeds 70°C or automotive qualification is mandatory |
| TAS3204DCPR | Successor device with enhanced 192-MHz core, 64-bit data path, and expanded memory (8K coeff RAM); not pin-compatible | Supports higher channel counts (16 ch), advanced algorithms (Dolby Atmos metadata parsing), and faster boot times | Choose TAS3204DCPR for new designs needing future-proofing, lower latency, or expanded algorithm complexity |
Compared with TAS3108IA, the TAS3108DCPR lacks automotive qualification but offers identical functionality at lower cost for commercial environments; versus TAS3204DCPR, it provides proven stability and simpler firmware migration paths despite lower peak performance and memory capacity.

FAQ
What is the maximum sample rate supported by the TAS3108DCPR?
The TAS3108DCPR supports sample rates from 32 kHz to 192 kHz, including standard rates like 44.1 kHz (CD), 48 kHz (DVD), 96 kHz, and 192 kHz (high-resolution audio). This range is confirmed in Section 1.1 of the SLES152B datasheet and enabled by its flexible clock architecture accepting MCLK inputs up to 24.576 MHz.
Does the TAS3108DCPR include an integrated microcontroller?
Yes, the TAS3108DCPR integrates an 8051-based M8051Warp microprocessor with 256 bytes IRAM, 2 KB ERAM, and 12 KB code RAM. It manages I2C communication, SAP configuration, GPIO control, and coordinates audio DSP core execution - eliminating the need for an external MCU in most implementations.
Can the TAS3108DCPR perform format conversion between TDM and I2S?
Yes, the TAS3108DCPR supports bidirectional format conversion between TDM (4/6/8-channel) and 2-channel I2S, as well as between left/right-justified and I2S. Table 3-1 in the datasheet explicitly lists these conversions, and the independent IM[3:0]/OM[3:0] register controls enable simultaneous input/output format selection.
What is the function of the two I2C interfaces on the TAS3108DCPR?
The TAS3108DCPR has two dedicated I2C interfaces: SDA1/SCL1 operates as a slave port for runtime system control (e.g., volume updates, status reads), while SDA2/SCL2 functions exclusively as a master port to bootload firmware and coefficients from external EEPROM during power-up - enabling autonomous initialization without host intervention.
Is the TAS3108DCPR pin-compatible with the TAS3108IA?
Yes, the TAS3108DCPR and TAS3108IA share identical pinout, package (38-pin TSSOP), electrical characteristics, and functional architecture. The only difference is qualification: TAS3108IA is AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified (–40°C to 105°C), while TAS3108DCPR is commercial grade (0°C to 70°C).
