Product details
Overview
TLC320AD50CDWR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit sigma-delta audio codec IC integrating synchronous ADC and DAC paths, decimation/interpolation filters, on-chip PLL, and programmable gain amplifiers. It operates at sampling rates up to 22.05 kHz, delivers 89 dB SNR and 90 dB THD, and supports dual power supply (5 V analog / 3 V digital). It is used in V.34+ modem analog front-ends and business audio interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TLC320AD50CDWR datasheet, TLC320AD50CDWR pinout, TLC320AD50CDWR application, or TLC320AD50CDWR equivalent, key selection criteria include frame-sync timing control (FS/FSD), master/slave configuration via M/S pin, differential analog I/O architecture, serial interface protocol compatibility with DSPs, and hardware power-down capability.
Technical Context
The device implements oversampling sigma-delta conversion with a 256× oversampling ratio, using a decimation filter after the ADC and interpolation filter before the DAC. Its internal PLL generates precise sampling clocks from MCLK, supporting programmable division factors (N = 1–8) to set fs = MCLK/(128N) or MCLK/(512N).
It features dual serial communication modes: primary for signal data (16-bit or 15+1-bit 2's complement) and secondary for register access, with hardware (FC pin) or software-initiated requests. Frame synchronization supports up to three slave devices in master mode, with FSD output providing programmable delay (0–63 SCLK cycles) for timing alignment.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar audio codec applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV320AIC10CP | 16-bit sigma-delta codec with integrated PGA, but no on-chip PLL; requires external clock source for fs generation | Lacks FSD timing control and multi-slave support; limited to single-device configurations | Choose when system already provides precise fs clock and does not require master/slave expansion |
| CS4272-CQZ | 24-bit stereo audio codec with higher resolution (114 dB SNR), I²S/PCM interface, and lower THD (–105 dB) | Designed for consumer audio; lacks FC pin, FSD output, and phone-mode secondary protocol | Choose for high-fidelity audio where V.34 modem timing constraints and legacy DSP interface are not required |
Compared with TLV320AIC10CP and CS4272-CQZ, the TLC320AD50CDWR uniquely combines V.34 modem timing compliance, hardware-configurable frame sync for multi-device chains, and dual-voltage operation - making it irreplaceable in legacy telecom DSP interfaces requiring precise FS/FSD coordination and low-power standby.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the TLC320AD50CDWR?
The TLC320AD50CDWR supports a maximum sampling rate of 22.05 kHz, achieved when MCLK = 8.192 MHz and N = 1 in PLL-enabled mode (fs = MCLK/(128N)). This rate satisfies full V.34 modem bandwidth requirements and enables wideband voice capture. Rates below 7 kHz require PLL bypass per Equation 2 in the datasheet.
How does the FSD pin function in master mode for the TLC320AD50CDWR?
In master mode, the FSD pin of the TLC320AD50CDWR outputs an active-low frame-sync signal delayed relative to FS by a programmable number of SCLK cycles (0–63), set via bits D0–D5 of Control Register 3. This delay aligns timing for up to three cascaded slave devices, ensuring synchronized data capture across the chain without external logic.
Can the TLC320AD50CDWR operate with separate analog and digital supplies?
Yes, the TLC320AD50CDWR requires separate analog and digital power domains: AVDD (5 V only) for analog/PLL circuitry and DVDD (3 V or 5 V) for digital logic. AVSS and DVSS must be isolated on PCB layout per datasheet Note 1. This separation minimizes digital noise coupling into sensitive analog conversion paths.
What is the purpose of the ALTDATA pin on the TLC320AD50CDWR?
The ALTDATA pin on the TLC320AD50CDWR routes secondary communication data to DOUT when phone mode is enabled via Control Register 2. It allows real-time monitoring of register read/write traffic without disrupting primary audio data flow - a critical debug aid during firmware development and system bring-up.
Does the TLC320AD50CDWR support both master and slave configurations?
Yes, the TLC320AD50CDWR supports configurable master/slave operation via the M/S pin: tied high for master (generates FS/SCLK), tied low for slave (accepts external FS/SCLK). In master mode, it can synchronize up to three slaves using FS/FSD; in slave mode, it responds only to its assigned time slot within the master's frame structure.
