Product details
Overview
TLV320AIC3256IYZFT from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power stereo audio codec with embedded miniDSP, ground-centered headphone outputs, 93dB SNR ADC and 100dB SNR DAC, supporting 48ksps operation at 5.2mW (ADC) and 5.0mW (DAC), used in mobile handsets and portable media players.
For engineers reviewing the TLV320AIC3256IYZFT datasheet, TLV320AIC3256IYZFT pinout, TLV320AIC3256IYZFT application, or TLV320AIC3256IYZFT equivalent, key selection factors include programmable microphone bias, PowerTune™ dynamic power scaling, I²C/SPI dual-control interface, and configurable analog input mux for multi-mic or line-in topologies.
Technical Context
The TLV320AIC3256IYZFT integrates dual stereo sigma-delta ADCs and DACs with independent digital signal processing paths-each featuring DRC, AGC, and volume control-plus a fully programmable 96-step miniDSP engine. Its analog front-end supports six single-ended or three fully differential inputs with low-noise PGA and selectable CM voltage (0.75V/0.9V).
Digital interface flexibility includes primary/secondary I²S, LJF, RJF, and PDM modes, with master/slave clocking via MCLK, BCLK, WCLK, and programmable PLL supporting 0.512–20MHz input. Pin multiplexing enables shared use of SCLK/MISO/SDA/GPIO for SPI/I²C/audio/data functions under SPI_SELECT control.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported sample rate for TLV320AIC3256IYZFT?
The TLV320AIC3256IYZFT supports up to 96ksps stereo audio sampling. At 48ksps, it achieves optimal power efficiency (5.0mW DAC / 5.2mW ADC) and full specification compliance including 93dB ADC SNR and 100dB DAC SNR. Higher rates require PLL reconfiguration and may impact PowerTune™ optimization.
Does TLV320AIC3256IYZFT support digital microphones?
Yes, TLV320AIC3256IYZFT supports PDM digital microphones via dedicated DOUT/MFP2 and DIN/MFP1 pins with configurable PDM timing. It accepts up to two PDM streams synchronized to BCLK/WCLK, enabling direct connection without external decimation filters or FPGA logic.
How does the ground-centered headphone output work in TLV320AIC3256IYZFT?
The TLV320AIC3256IYZFT uses an internal charge pump (VNEG, FLY_P, FLY_N) and DRVdd_HP supply to generate a true ground-referenced output on HPL/HPR. GND_SENSE pin provides external ground reference feedback, enabling DC-free analog output without coupling capacitors - saving 2× 220µF components per channel.
Can TLV320AIC3256IYZFT operate with a 1.5V AVdd supply?
Yes, TLV320AIC3256IYZFT operates with AVdd from 1.5V to 1.95V. At 1.5V, CM voltage defaults to 0.75V, reducing full-scale input/output levels (e.g., 0.375 VRMS DAC output), but maintains full functionality including miniDSP, AGC, and PowerTune™ - verified across –40°C to 85°C.
Is the miniDSP in TLV320AIC3256IYZFT user-programmable?
Yes, the TLV320AIC3256IYZFT includes a fully user-programmable 96-step miniDSP engine. TI provides PurePath Studio GUI and C-code libraries to configure FIR/IIR filters, dynamics processing, mixing, and routing - all loaded via I²C/SPI without requiring external memory or boot ROM.
