6.3 Device Functional Modes
6.3.1 Operational Modes
6.3.1.1 Hardware Shutdown
The device can be powered down by asserting SDZ pin low. The shutdown behavior of the device when SDZ pin is pulled low is controlled by SDZ_MODE register settings. In Hardware Shutdown mode (SDZ_MODE[1:0] = 00 or 01) if the SDZ pin is asserted low, the device consumes the minimum quiescent current from VDD and VBAT supplies. All registers lose state in this mode and go back to default settings, and I2C communication is disabled. If configured in SDZ_MODE[1:0] = 00, when the SDZ pin is asserted low while audio is playing, the device will follow the normal power down sequencing like volume ramp down on the audio (if enabled), stop the Class-D www.ti.com TAS2120 SLASFC6 – AUGUST 2024 Copyright © 2024 Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Document Feedback 17 Product Folder Links: TAS2120 ADVANCE INFORMATION
switching, power down analog and digital blocks to ensure no power down pop and finally put the device into Hardware Shutdown mode. I2C communication is disabled while the SDZ pin is asserted low in this mode. If configured in SDZ_MODE[1:0] = 01, when the SDZ pin is asserted low the device will immediately enter the hardware shutdown and will not go through any power-down sequencing routine. It is recommended to ensure that the audio input signal is ramped down to the idle channel before asserting the SDZ pin low in this mode (device software mute mode can be used to realize this). I2C communication is disabled while the SDZ pin is asserted low in this mode. Finally, the device can be configured to Software shutdown mode by setting SDZ_MODE[1:0] = 10. In this mode, when the SDZ pin is pulled low, the device will follow normal power-down sequencing and enter software shutdown mode. All the device register configuration programmed is retained as is from the state the device was in before the SDZ pin was pulled low. I2C communication is still available while the SDZ pin is asserted low in this mode. Table 6-1. Shutdown Control SDZ_MODE[1:0] Configuration 00 (default) Hardware shutdown mode with power-down sequencing

register values retained)
11 Reserved
When SDZ_MODE[1:0] is 00 or 10, the device goes through shutdown sequencing and the SDZ pin must be held low for the entire duration of the shutdown time. The shutdown time is specified in the Power up/down Time section of the Electrical Characteristics section. When SDZ is released, the device will sample the AD1 and AD2 pins and enter the software shutdown mode.
6.3.1.2 Hardware Config Modes
The device can operate in a pre-configured HW Mode depending on the terminations used for Select pin1 to Select Pin5. HW Mode behavior of the device is designed to simplify device configuration without using any software based configurations through I2C communication. Table 6-2.

6.3.1.3 Software Power Modes Control and Software Reset
The TAS2120 power state can be controlled using the register MODE[1:0]. Change in any of the MODE settings will not cause the device to lose any of the existing device configuration register settings. Active state: When MODE[1:0] is configured as '00', the device enters an active mode of operation with proper power-up sequencing to minimize the click and pop. Software shutdown state: When MODE[1:0] is configured as '10', the device enters software shutdown mode. This mode powers down all analog blocks required to playback audio but does not cause the device to lose register state. If audio is playing when Software Shutdown is asserted, the Class-D will volume ramp down before shutting down. When de-asserted, the Class-D will begin switching and volume ramp back to the programmed digital volume setting. Clock based Active and shutdown state: When MODE[1:0] is configured as '11' the device toggles between Active and Shutdown state based on valid ASI clock signals applied on the ASI input pins, BCLK and FSYNC. When clocks are applied, the device will automatically detect the clock signals and follow proper power-up sequencing to avoid any power-up click and pop. When the audio channels are powered up and the ASI clock is removed, the device will automatically start power-down sequencing and avoid any click and pop. It is recommended to do a volume ramp-down in the input data stream before stopping the clocks for the best pop & click experience (device software mute mode can be used to realize this). www.ti.com TAS2120 SLASFC6 – AUGUST 2024 Copyright © 2024 Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Document Feedback 19 Product Folder Links: TAS2120 ADVANCE INFORMATION

TAS2120 can be reset to its default configuration by setting the SW_RESET register to '1'. If the device is powered up, when the SW_RESET bit is set high, all the channels are powered down immediately. All the registers are restored to the default state when SW_RESET is set high. This bit is self-clearing and goes back to '0' once the reset is complete. The device can also signal to the host once the status of the device reaches Active mode of operation using the INT_LTCH0[1] bit ( Section 6.3.2). This bit is a live device status bit and reflects the device status in real-time. This bit is set high when the device is in Active mode and set low when the device is in shutdown mode.
6.3.1.4 Efficiency and power saving modes
TAS2120 has multiple power-saving modes of operation designed to achieve the highest system level efficiency under all operating conditions. The device transitions from one mode to the next based on the configured mode and the signal condition. The transitions from one mode to another are automatic and designed to ensure high-performance audio levels during the transition of the modes. EFFICIENCY_MODE[1:0] register allows for configuration of the Music efficiency and Noise gate modes of operation
6.3.1.4.1 Noise Gate
When the Noise gate feature is enabled, the device automatically detects periods of silence during active playback mode and reduces the idle channel power consumption significantly to extend the battery life. This feature is useful for signals playback having long periods of silence, eg voice calls, movie tracks, etc. The device monitors the input audio signal level against the programmed Noise gate threshold configured by the NG_TH_LVL[2:0] register. When the audio signal falls below the threshold, an internal Hysteresis timer is enabled. If the signal level remains below the configured NG_TH_LVL[2:0] for the entire duration of the NG_HYST_TIMER[1:0], the device enters into the Noise gate mode and reduces the idle channel power consumption. In the Noise gate mode of operation, the high switching blocks like class-D PWM output are turned OFF and outputs are pulled low. The output impedance of class-D can be controlled when the Noise gate mode is active using the CLASSD_HIZ_MODE register. While the Noise gate mode is active, class-D outputs are not switching and the device does not produce any audio output signal. When the device is in Noise gate mode, the NG_STATUS bit is set as high and when the device comes out of noise gate mode, the status bit is set to low. When the signal level increases above the NG_TH_LVL[1:0], the device automatically wakes up the blocks in low IQ mode and starts playing out the audio input signals. The wake up from Noise gate maintains the signal fidelity by buffering the input signal data during the transition time from noise gate mode to active playback mode. The device does not lose any audio input samples while transitioning from noise gate to active playback. The transition into noise gate mode and recovery out of noise gate mode is designed to be click and pop-free by following the proper shutdown and power up sequencing.

6.3.1.4.2 Music Efficiency Mode
When the Music efficiency mode feature is enabled, the device automatically detects low-power signal states during active playback mode and reduces the overall IQ power consumption to extend the battery life. This feature is useful for dynamic audio signals with varying signal levels for example music tracks, voice calls movie tracks, and so forth. The device monitors the input audio signal level against the programmed Music efficiency threshold configured by the MUSIC_EFF_MODE_THR[23:0] register. When the audio signal falls below the threshold, an internal hysteresis timer is enabled. If the signal level remains below the configured MUSIC_EFF_MODE_THR[23:0] for the entire duration of the MUSIC_EFF_MODE_TIMER[23:0], the device enters into the Music efficiency mode. When the device is in Music efficiency mode, the MUSIC_EFF_STATUS bit is set as high and when the device comes out of music efficiency mode, the status bit is set low. When the signal level increases above the MUSIC_EFF_MODE_THR[23:0], the device automatically wakes up the blocks in low IQ mode and continues playing out the audio input signals. The transition from Music efficiency mode to normal operation occurs with minimal click and pop. While the device is in Music efficiency mode, the audio channel performance is maintained and doesn't impact the output signal level or noise. The MUSIC_EFF_MODE_THR[23:0] and MUSIC_EFF_MODE_TIMER[23:0] registers can be configured using the PPC3 Software Section 6.4.1.
6.3.1.4.3 VDD Y-bridge
TAS2120 uses a Y-bridge output stage for switching the class-D output PWM voltage between the VDD and PVDD supply. When the feature is enabled using EN_Y_BRIDGE_MODE set to high, the device will automatically select the output voltage to switch the output PWM at. When the signal level is low, the output will switch at VDD to enable higher system-level efficiency by reducing the class-D output switching voltage. When the signal level is high, the output switches on the PVDD voltage rail set by the integrated Boost, or external PVDD in the external PVDD mode of operation. The device monitors the input audio signal level against the programmed Y-bridge mode threshold configured by VDD_MODE_THR_LVL[23:0] register. When the audio signal falls below the threshold, an internal hysteresis timer is enabled. If the signal level remains below the configured YBRIDGE_HYST_TIMER[1:0] for the entire duration of the selected time, the device enters into the lower voltage VDD supply-based PWM switching mode. www.ti.com TAS2120 SLASFC6 – AUGUST 2024 Copyright © 2024 Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Document Feedback 21 Product Folder Links: TAS2120 ADVANCE INFORMATION
When the signal level increases above the VDD_MODE_THR_LVL[23:0] plus VDD_MODE_HYST[23:0], the device starts switching the output PWM signal on PVDD supply without introducing any signal clipping. The VDD_MODE_THR_LVL[23:0] and VDD_MODE_HYST[23:0] registers can be configured using the PPC3 Software Section 6.4.1. Table 6-10.

6.3.1.4.4 Class-H Boost
TAS2120 has an advanced class-H algorithm to control the integrated Boost. The class-H algorithm enables Boost supply to closely track audio signal levels and achieve high system level efficiency for extending battery life. Class-H mode is enabled using the BST_MODE[1:0] register. The class-H algorithm buffers the input signal to enable sufficient look-ahead time required to charge the Boost output capacitor and avoid any signal clipping. The algorithm monitors the input signal level and uses system- level parameters configured in PPC3 software like Boost output voltage, Boost output capacitor, channel gain, and so forth. and computes the most optimum class-H tuning parameters. These tuning parameter registers are then calculated in the PPC3 software and configured in the corresponding CLASSH_TUNING_x[23:0] registers. When the BST_MODE[1:0] is configured to use the device in Class-G mode or Boost always-ON mode, the max inrush current from the battery can be controlled by setting the Inrush current parameter in PPC3 software. The software generates the required coefficients in the CLASSH_TUNING_x[23:0] register based on the system level parameters configured like Boost output capacitor, Inrush current required, and so forth. 6.3.1.5 2S Battery Mode TAS2120 can be configured to function for different battery systems like single series cell (1S) Li-ion battery (2.5 V to 5.5 V) or 2-series cell (2S) series cell battery (4.7 V to 10 V). When the 2S battery is selected for the device, the diagram below shows the conceptual connections in the system to connect the 2S battery. When selected for 2S battery operation, the VBAT pin of the device is used for biasing internal blocks and needs to be supplied from external power source between 3.0 V to 5.5 V. The internal battery voltage monitor needs to be switched to sense the voltage on the VBAT_SNS pin instead of the default sensing done on the VBAT pin. SEL_VBAT_MODE[1:0] configures the internal voltage monitor and the device configuration between 1S or 2S battery systems. When SEL_VBAT_MODE[1:0] is set as '10', ie 2S mode of operation, the device internal bias voltage needs to be configured based on VBAT_BIAS_SELx registers. If the VBAT pin voltage is available from the center tap or half of the 2S battery voltage, the VBAT_BIAS_SEL1 needs to be set high. For other VBAT voltage configurations the VBAT_BIAS_SEL1 should be set low and appropriate VBAT_BIAS_SEL2 configuration should be selected. TAS2120 SLASFC6 – AUGUST 2024 www.ti.com

6.3.1.6 External PVDD Mode
The internal Boost of TAS2120 can be disabled by setting BST_EN register low. When the external PVDD mode is used, the class-D amplifier is directly powered from the voltage source on PVDD pin. The device configurations needs to be updated using PPC3 software to configure the device in required performance configurations for external PVDD mode of operation.
6.3.2 Faults and Status
During power-up sequencing, the power-on-reset circuit (POR) monitors the VDD and IOVDD pins and holds device in reset (including all the configuration registers) until the supplies are valid. Any supply voltage dip on VDD or IOVDD below the UVLO voltage thresholds resets the device immediately along with all the register configurations. During operation modes, the device monitors internal device status and fault conditions and can notify the host of error and status conditions using the IRQZ interrupt pin and internal I2C based interrupt registers. The interrupt generation in IRQZ pin can be masked by configuring the corresponding Interrupt mask register bit. Table 6-15 lists the different faults and interrupts that the device monitors and the corresponding configuration bits to enable/disable the interrupt generation and reading the I2C interrupt status www.ti.com TAS2120 SLASFC6 – AUGUST 2024 Copyright © 2024 Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Document Feedback 23 Product Folder Links: TAS2120 ADVANCE INFORMATION

6.3.2.1 Interrupt generation and clearing
The IRQZ is an open drain output that asserts low during unmasked fault conditions and therefore must be pulled up with a resistor to IOVDD. An internal pull up resistor (18k Ω) is provided in the device and can be assessed by setting the IRQZ_PU register bit. The interrupt generation on IRQZ pin can be configured using IRQZ_PIN_CFG[1:0] register. For the interrupts that have auto retry feature, the retry timer can be configured using RETRY_WAIT_TIME register. The interrupt pin polarity can be changed from the default case of Active Low to Active high by setting the IRQZ_POL register bit high. Any latched interrupt can be cleared by setting INT_CLR_LTCH bit high. This is self clearing bit and automatically gets updated to low once the interrupt is cleared. Interrupts can also be cleared by hardware shutdown by pulling the SDZ pin low, or by software reset using SW_RESET bit. Table 6-16.

6.4 Feature Description
6.4.1 PurePath™ Console 3 Software
The TAS2120's advanced features and device configuration can be performed using PurePath Console 3(PPC3) software. The base software PPC3 is downloaded and installed from the TI website. Once installed the TAS2120 application can be downloaded from with-in PPC3. The PCC3 tool calculates necessary register coefficients that are described in the following sections. The device performance is optimized using registers named TUNING based on the options for system configuration selected in the GUI. This is the recommended method to configure the device. Once the TAS2120 application calculates and updates the device, the registers values can be read back using the PPC3 tool for final system integration.
6.4.2 Playback Signal Path
6.4.2.1 Digital Volume Control and Amplifier Output Level
The gain from audio input to speaker terminals is controlled by setting the amplifier’s analog gain level (A AMP) and digital volume control (A DVC). Equation 1 calculates the amplifiers output voltage. Amplifier analog gain setting should be set before powering up the playback channel and shouldn't be changed while the channel is active. The digital volume control can be modified while the channel is active and also allows for soft volume ramp up/down feature to allow for smooth transition of output voltage from one level to another. AMP dvc AMPV Input A A dBV/c61 /c43 /c43 (1) where
- VAMP is the amplifier output voltage in dBV
- Input is the digital input amplitude in dB with respect to 0 dBFS
- ADVC is the digital volume control setting, 6 dB to -110 dB in 0.5 dB steps
- AAMP is the amplifier output level setting, -0.071dBV to 21.0dBV in 0.5017dBV steps. Amplifier output level settings are presented in dBV (dB relative to 1 V rms) with a full scale digital audio input (0 dBFS) and the digital volume control set to 0 dB. It should be noted that these levels may not be achievable because of analog clipping in the amplifier, so they should be used to convey gain only. Table below shows gain settings that can be programmed via the AMP_LVL register. When AMP_LVL is set to less than 9dBV settings, the playback channel is automatically configured to low noise mode or receiver mode of operation. Table 6-18.

If DVC_SLEW_RATE is set to 0x7FFFFF, volume ramp is disabled. This can be used to speed up start up, shutdown and digital volume changes when volume ramp is handled by the system host. When volume ramp is disabled, the input audio data stream should be held at digital silence during shutdown and power up of the device to avoid any clicks and pops. The device can be put in software based mute by setting DVC_LEVEL to 0x000000 setting. The digital voltage control registers DVC_LEVEL and DVC_SLEW_RATE registers can be configured using the PPC3 Software Section 6.4.1. Table 6-19.

6.4.2.2 High Pass Filter
Excessive DC and low frequency content in audio playback signal can damage loudspeakers. The playback path employs a high-pass filter (HPF) to prevent this from occurring. The HPF is a 1st order filter and can be changed from the default 2 Hz for 48ksps fs using the AUDIO_HPF_N0, AUDIO_HPF_N1, AUDIO_HPF_D1 registers. The HPF filter frequency scales with change in the FSYNC clock and can be re-configured to achieve the required cutoff frequency for different FSYNC clock frequencies. The coefficients can also be changed to disable the HPF coefficients appropriately. These coefficients should be calculated and set using PPC3 Software Section 6.4.1.

TAS2120 has integrated high performance class-D amplifier with low idle channel noise, low distortion and high PSRR. The Class-D amplifier switches on a clock frequency derived from the SBCLK frequency and is always synchronized to the input clock source. The SAMP_RATE_CFG register enables selection between input clock source based out of multiple of 44.1kHz vs 48kHz multiples. Table 6-21. Sample rate configuration SAMP_RATE_CFG Configuration 0 (default) Audio data rate is multiple/sub- multiple of 48ksps

The edge rate of class-D can be controlled using CLASSD_OUTPUT_EDGERATE_CTRL[1:0] register. By default the class-D output edge rate is configured to fastest setting to enable high efficiency in the system. The class-D output edge rate can be slowed down using other configuration settings to reduce the EMI energy at high frequency with reduction in efficiency. The exact rate of change of output edge rate varies based on output load conditions, and the values mentioned in the tables below are approximate edge rate levels for default loading conditions.

6.4.2.4 Supply Tracking Limiters with Brown Out Prevention
TAS2120 monitors class-D supply voltage (VBAT or PVDD) along with the audio signal to automatically decrease gain when the audio signal peaks exceed a programmable threshold. This helps prevent clipping and extends playback time through end of charge battery conditions. The limiter and brown out module calculates the signal attenuation required based on the condition of the signal level, channel gain and the selected supply voltage. www.ti.com TAS2120 SLASFC6 – AUGUST 2024 Copyright © 2024 Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Document Feedback 27 Product Folder Links: TAS2120 ADVANCE INFORMATION
AUDIO_IN AUDIO_OUT SETTINGS VBAT VBAT_SNS Figure 6-2. Limiter and Brown out protection module The Brown Out Prevention (BOP) module provides a priority input to provide a fast response to transient dips in the battery supply. The BOP feature can be enabled by configuring the register bit BOP_EN high. The supply voltage that is tracked to determine Brown out conditions can be configured as V BAT /VBAT_SNS or PVDD based on system configuration needs by using BOP_SRC register bit. When the selected supply dips below the brown-out threshold configured by setting register BOP_THR_LVL[23:0], the BOP will begin reducing gain. The rate of gain reduction (db/sample) can be configured by setting the BOP_ATK_RATE[23:0] registers . When the VBAT supply rises above the brownout threshold, the BOP will begin to release the gain after the programmed hold timer, BOP_HLD_COUNT[23:0]. The BOP feature uses the LIM_RLS_RATE[23:0] register setting to release after a brown out event. The release rate is rate of gain increase in db/sample ratio. During a BOP event the limiter updates will be paused. This is to prevent a limiter from releasing during a BOP event. VBAT BOP Thresh BOP Active BOP Attacking BOP Holding Limiter Releasing (BOP Inactive)BOP Inactive BOP InactiveBOP Mode Figure 6-3. Brown Out Prevention Event The device can be configured to hold the gain attenuation once a BOP event is detected by setting the register bit BOP_INF_HLD high. When the bit is programmed high, the Limiter and BOP module does not release the gain attenuation and holds the device in the programmed min gain attenuation level until the infinite hold is cleared by setting the register bit BOP_HLD_CLR high. The hold clearing bit is self clearing and will automatically reset to low state once the hold is cleared. A hard brownout level can be set to shutdown the device if the BOP gain attenuation cannot mitigate the drop in battery voltage. The brown out based shutdown of the device is enabled when BOPSD_EN bit is set high and shuts down when the battery voltage falls below the voltage threshold set by BOSD_THR_LVL[23:0] register bits. A maximum level of attenuation applied by the limiters and brown out prevention feature is configurable via the LIM_MAX_ATN register. This attenuation limit is shared between the features. For instance, if the maximum attenuation is set to 6 dB and the limiters have reduced gain by 4 dB, the brown out prevention feature will only be able to reduce the gain further by another 2 dB. If the limiter or brown out prevention feature is attacking and it reaches the maximum attenuation, gain will not be reduced any further. TAS2120 SLASFC6 – AUGUST 2024 www.ti.com

The limiter can be configured to reduce the output signal based on fixed signal threshold level, or it can attenuate signal based on a dynamic threshold which tracks the selected supply voltage. The register bit SUPPLY_HEADROOM_LIM_MODE enables the dynamic supply tracking and can be used to limit the clipping distortion when the supply voltage is varying in the system. Table 6-25. Limiter dynamic supply headroom tracking mode SUPPLY_HEADROOM_LIM_MO DE Configuration 0(default) Disabled Enabled. Limiter threshold is dynamically changed based as a fixed percentage of monitored supply voltage. When SUPPLY_HEADROOM_LIM_MODE is set high, the limiter sets the threshold as a fixed percentage of the monitored supply voltage. The limiter begins reducing gain when the output signal level is greater than the threshold configured. For eg, if voltage limiting is desired to be 10% below the supply voltage, then LIM_SLOPE[23:0] is configured as 0.9 and the threshold is calculated as monitored supply voltage multiplied by 1.1. Similarly if the LIM_SLOPE[23:0] is configured at > 1.0, the limiter threshold is set at higher than the supply voltage, and a small amount of controlled clipping occurs. www.ti.com TAS2120 SLASFC6 – AUGUST 2024 Copyright © 2024 Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Document Feedback 29 Product Folder Links: TAS2120 ADVANCE INFORMATION

To achieve this behavior, set the limiter maximum threshold to the desired level using LIM_TH_MAX[23:0].

The LIM_SLOPE[23:0] register bits can be used to change the slope of the limiter tracking the supply voltage in V/V. For example, a slope value of 1 V/V reduces the limiter threshold 1 V for every 1 V of drop in the supply voltage. Program the LIM_TH_MIN[23:0] below the minimum of the selected supply to prevent the limiter from having a minimum threshold reduction when tracking the selected supply.

6.4.3 Digital Audio Serial Interface
The device provides a flexible Audio Serial Interface (ASI) port. The port can be configured to support a variety of formats including stereo I 2S, Left Justified, and TDM. Mono audio playback is available via the SDIN pin. The SDOUT pin is used to transmit sample streams including PVDD voltage, VBAT voltage, die temperature, status and audio for echo reference. The TDM serial audio port supports up to 16 32-bit time slots at 44.1/48 kHz, 8 32-bit time slots at a 88.2/96 kHz sample rate and 4 32-bit time slots at a 176.4/192 kHz sample rate. The device supports 2 time slots at 32 bits in width and 4 or 8 time slots at 16, 24 or 32 bits in width. The device automatically detects the number of time slots and this does not need to be programmed. PCM data sampling rate and SBCLK to FSYNC ratio detected on the TDM bus is reported back on the read-only register bits FS_RATE_DETECTED[2:0] and FS_RATIO_DETECTED[3:0] respectively. Table 6-28.

This is typically set to a value of 0 for Left Justified format and 1 for an I2S format. The RX_SLEN[1:0] register bits set the length of the RX time slot to 16, 24 or 32 (default) bits.

The device supports mono and stereo down mix playback ([L+R]/2). By default the device will playback mono from the time slot equal to the I 2C base address offset (set by the AD1 and AD2 pins) for playback. The RX_SCFG[1:0] register bits can be used to override the playback source to the left time slot, right time slot or stereo down mix set by the RX_SLOT_R[3:0] and RX_SLOT_L[3:0] register bits. If time slot selection places reception either partially or fully beyond the frame boundary, the receiver returns a null sample equivalent to a digitally muted sample. The TDM port can transmit a number of sample streams on the SDOUT pin including interrupts and status, PVDD voltage, VBAT voltage and die temperature. Either the rising or falling edge of SBCLK can be used to transmit data on the SDOUT pin. This can be configured by setting the TX_EDGE register bit. The TX_OFFSET[2:0] register bits define the number SBCLK cycles between the start of a frame and the beginning of time slot 0. This is programmed to 0 for Left Justified format and 1 for I 2S format. The TDM TX can either transmit logic 0 or Hi-Z depending on the setting of the TX_FILL register bit. An optional bus keeper can weakly hold the state of SDOUT pin when all devices are driving Hi-Z. Since only one bus keeper is required on SDOUT, this feature can be disabled via the TX_KEEPEN register bit. The bus keeper can be configured to hold the bus for only 1 LSB or Always (permanent) using TX_KEEPLN register bit. Additionally, the keeper LSB can be driven for a full cycle or half of cycle using TX_KEEPCY register bit. The device also support monitoring and TDM transmit of PVDD and VBAT input voltages. For PVDD slot, enable and length settings PVDD_SLOT[5:0], PVDD_TX and PVDD_SLEN register bits can be use. Similarly for VBAT slot, enable and length settings VBAT_SLOT[5:0], VBAT_TX and VBAT_SLEN register bits can be used. Die temperature can also be transmitted from the device in same manner. Enable and slot settings for Die temperature are done using TEMP_TX and TEMP_SLOT [5:0] register bits. Information about status of slots can be found in STATUS_SLOT[5:0] register bits. STATUS_TX register bit set high enables the status transmit. Status slot length is always 8bits and Table 6-29 summarizes the status bit information that is transmitted when status transmit is enabled. If time slot selections place transmission beyond the frame boundary, the transmitter will truncate transmission at the frame boundary. Table 6-29.

6.4.3.1 Digital Loopback
The device supports loop back feature to loop SDIN data to SDOUT at two levels. When this feature is enabled through TDM_LOOPBACK register bit, loop back is done at the IO Pin level without any ASI data decoding within the device. Other option is to enable the loop back feature through TDM_DESER_LOOPBACK register bit in which case SDIN data first goes through ASI protocol decoding within the device and then sent back via SDOUT. These SDIN to SDOUT loop back options can be useful for board level debug of an audio system. www.ti.com TAS2120 SLASFC6 – AUGUST 2024 Copyright © 2024 Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Document Feedback 33 Product Folder Links: TAS2120 ADVANCE INFORMATION
Device can also loop back echo reference digital audio data at the end of the internal signal processing blocks like Limiter, BOP etc. through SDOUT signal. This allows audio system to perform noise and echo cancellation algorithms in a host processor that is connected to the device. The echo reference can be enabled by configuring AUDIO_TX register bit. The slot length and the time slot can be selected using AUDIO_SLEN and AUDIO_SLOT[5:0] register bits.
6.4.4 Boost
The TAS2120 internal processing algorithm automatically enables the boost when needed. A look-ahead algorithm monitors the battery voltage and the digital audio stream. When the speaker output approaches the battery voltage the boost is enabled in-time to supply the required speaker output voltage. When the boost is no longer required it is disabled and bypassed to maximize efficiency. The boost can be configured in one of two modes. The first is low in-rush (Class-G) supporting only boost on-off and has the lowest in-rush current. The second is high-efficiency (Class-H) where the boost voltage level is adjusted to a value just above what is needed. This mode is more efficient but has a higher in-rush current to quickly transition the levels. This can be configured using BST_MODE[1:0] register bits. Class-G Class-H VSPK Time Figure 6-9. Boost Mode Signal Tracking Example Table 6-30. Boost Mode BST_MODE[1:0] BOOST MODE
00 Class-H - High efficiency (default)
01 Class-G - Low in-rush
10 Always On
11 Always Off - Pass-through
The boost can be enabled and disabled using BST_EN register. When driving the Class-D amplifier using an external supply through the PVDD pin, the boost should be disabled and the SW pin should be left floating. Table 6-31. Boost Enable BST_EN BOOST IS
0 Disabled (External PVDD mode)
1 Enabled (default)
The maximum boost voltage is set by VBOOST_MAX_CTRL[7:0]. When operating in class-G mode, the boost when needed will be at this voltage. In class-H mode of operation the boost voltage is automatically selected based on the audio signal but will not exceed this set value. In class-H mode, the class-H controller controls the Boost with a minimum step size of 33mV to generate the required PVDD voltage. The max boost voltage that the device generates is controlled by VBOOST_MAX_CTRL[7:0] and it can be configured with a step size of 66mV. Table 6-32.

When the Boost is running in PFM mode, the minimum pulse frequency can be adjusted using BST_MIN_FREQ_SEL. Setting a higher PFM frequency will ensure the Boost frequency is always above the set threshold at the cost of increasing the system power consumption. Table 6-33. Active Mode PFM Lower Frequency Limit BST_MIN_FREQ_SEL[1:0] LOWER LIMIT
00 No lower limit (default)
The peak current drawn by the boost is controlled using BST_ILIM[23:0] register and it limits the current drawn from the VBAT supply. This setting allows flexibility in the inductor selection for various saturation currents. The system should always use inductors which have minimum saturation current (I SAT) atleast 5% higher than programmed BST_ILIM setting. The Boost circuit can go unstable if the inductor's I SAT is lower than the BST_ILIM setting. The current limit can be adjusted in 39.1 mA steps with a range from 1.5A to 5.1A using PPC3 Software. The change in boost configurations like BST_ILIM, VBOOST_MAX_CTRL etc requires re-tuning of device parameters such as CLASSH_TUNING_xx[23:0] registers to achieve best performance while ensuring no functionality failures. This configuration should be changed using PPC3 tool to enable automatic reconfiguration of all the associated device parameters. For multiple channel systems, the boost phase can be shifted to ensure each device will draw peak current from the battery at different instance of times and enable lower instantaneous peak current from the battery. The boost syncing among multiple devices is enabled using BOOST_PHASE_SYNC_EN. The individual device boost phase can be automatically configured to different values using the i2c target address device detected by using BOOST_PHASE_FROM_ADDRESS_PIN register, or it can be manually configured using BOOST_PHASE register. The Boost phase shift is done by each device using the FSYNC pulse to synchronize each device and all the devices which require the Boost phase synchronization should be connected to same FSYNC from the host in the system.

6.4.5 Supply Voltage Monitors
TAS2120 has integrated SAR ADC to monitor the supply voltage pins VBAT or VBAT_SNS and PVDD. The sensed voltages are used for internal device features, protections and can also be streamed out over digital data bus or read through i2c registers. The battery voltage can be sensed through either VBAT or VBAT_SNS pins based on the register SEL_VBAT_MODE[1:0] Table 6-37. Battery mode selection SEL_VBAT_MODE[1:0] Configuration 00 (default) Voltage monitor on VBAT pin. 1S mode of operation pin. 1S mode of operation pin. 2S mode of operation The monitor ADC samples the VBAT pin at higher rate compared to PVDD pin voltage. This sampling speed can be swapped to prioritize PVDD pin sampling rate over VBAT, for example in case of external PVDD mode of operation. Table 6-38. Supply monitor sampling rate SUPPLY_SAMPLING_RATE Configuration 0(default) VBAT Sampling rate is higher than PVDD
1 PVDD Sampling rate is higher
The VBAT and PVDD monitored voltages are stored in the register VBAT_CNV and PVDD_CNV registers and can be read using i2c commands. The supply monitors are also used for voltage protection like VBAT under voltage, PVDD over voltage and under voltage and VBAT2S under voltage . The voltage protection features monitors the supply voltages, and shuts down the device when the voltage crosses the protection threshold levels. The device also sets the corresponding fault register and can generate an interrupt on IRQZ pin based on configured interrupt Mask register as described in Section 6.3.2. Once the device is shutdown, the device can be re-powered up using the MODE[1:0] register bits. TAS2120 SLASFC6 – AUGUST 2024 www.ti.com

PVDD over voltage protection is based on the monitored PVDD voltage compared against a programmable threshold which can be controlled using PVDD_OVLO_TH_SEL in the internal boost mode, and PVDD_OVLO_TH_SEL_EXT_BOOST in the external PVDD mode of operation. The PVDD Over voltage protection is enabled by default and can be disabled by setting PVDD_OV_DET_DIS bit high. Table 6-39.

6.4.6 Thermal Protection
TAS2120 has internal device junction temperature monitor which protects the device against over temperature. When the internal temperature rises above the Over temperature threshold, the device automatically shuts down and sets the Over temperature flag in the corresponding Interrupt registers. The device can automatically retry to power up if OTE_RETRY bit is set high. When set high, the device attempts to re-power up after every RETRY_WAIT_TIME setting (default 1.5 seconds of retry) Along with over temperature protection, the device has thermal warning thresholds to allow for system to raise interrupts or flags as the junction temperature is approaching the shutdown. There are four thermal warning flags available at the internal temperature of 105C, 115C, 125C and 135C. Each thermal warning flag can be independently set to control the Interrupt generation on the IRQZ pad. The minimum temperature and the step size of the temperature warning flag can be programmed using the registers THERMAL_WARN_MIN_TEMP[23:0] and THERMAL_WARN_TEMP_STEP[23:0] The real time internal junction temperature is monitored are stored in the register TMP_CNV and can be read using i2c commands.
6.4.7 Clocks and PLL
In TDM/I2S Mode, the device operates from SBCLK. Table 6-41 below shows the valid SBCLK frequencies for each sample rate and SBCLK to FSYNC ratio. For 44.1kHz based clocking, the same table is applicable with the associated ratio change between 48ksps to 44.1ksps. While the sampling rate of 192kHz is supported, data is internally down-sampled to 96kHz. Therefore audio content greater than 40kHz should not be applied to prevent aliasing. This additionally affects all processing blocks like BOP and limiter which should use 96 kHz fs when accepting 192 kHz audio. If the sample rate is properly configured via the SAMPLE_RATE_CFG bits, no additional configuration is required as long as the SBCLK to FSYNC ratio is valid. The device automatically detects the input PCM FSYNC and BCLK frequency and auto configures itself to playback audio signal. The detected clock rates can be read using the read only registers FS_RATIO_DETECTED and FS_RATE_DETECTED. The device will www.ti.com TAS2120 SLASFC6 – AUGUST 2024 Copyright © 2024 Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Document Feedback 37 Product Folder Links: TAS2120 ADVANCE INFORMATION

6.4.7.1 Auto clock based wakeup and clock errors
TAS2120 supports flexible operating mode transition from active to shutdown and vice-verse using ASI clock auto detection feature. When MODE[1:0] is configured as '11' the device toggles between Active and Software shutdown state based on valid ASI clock signals applied on the ASI input pins, ie BCLK and FSYNC. If no ASI clocks are detected in this mode, the device remains in software shutdown, with software shutdown mode I Q on VDD pin, until a valid BCLK and FSYNC clock is detected. Once a valid clock is detected, the device is powered up in active state until the clocks are valid or device is shutdown using software or hardware shutdown commands. The device can detect and raise interrupt flags on detection of incorrect clock configurations based on status of CLK_ERR_PWR_EN. When this bit is set high, the device monitors for activity on the clock pins and flags any error using the latched interrupts status register. The device can also raise interrupts using IRQZ pin based on status of the corresponding interrupt MASK registers. When the error protection bit is enabled, if a clock error is detected, the device will automatically shutdown with proper shutdown sequencing and minimize any clicks and pops due to invalid clocks. When the device is in shutdown state, the clock error detection can be delayed to provide system with time required to settle the input clocks. This power up delay in clock error detection is controlled using an internal pre-power up clock error detection timer configured by CLK_HALT_TIMER. If device doesn't detect a valid clock at the end of the CLK_HALT_TIMER expiry, the Pre-Power-up Clock error is flagged on INT_LTCH4[2] bit, and corresponding interrupt can be generated on IRQZ pin based on status of INT_MASK4[2] bit. When MODE[1:0] is configured as '11' (Wake-up on ASI mode), CLK_HALT_TIMER of '000' is not recommended and it stops the device from entering the software shutdown and increases the VDD IQ while the device is shutdown. Once the device is powered up, the external and internally generated clocks are constantly monitored based on status of CLK_ERR_PWR_EN bit. If enabled, any error in external or internal clock is flagged using the clock error status register INT_LTCH2[3] bit, and corresponding interrupt can be generated on IRQZ pin based on status of INT_MASK2[3]. For system flexibility, the device will also set the error status for the type of detected clock error. The device can also be configured to raise an interrupt on IRQZ pin for any specific type of clock error, instead of using the generic clock error interrupt generation. Table 6-44 below explains the different type of clock errors and corresponding status bits and interrupt MASK register bits. One or more register bits in the table below can be set based on the type of clock error detected. If the device shuts down due to any type of clock error, it can attempt to re-power itself automatically when MODE[1:0] is set to '11'. Table 6-42.

6.4.8 Digital IO pins
TAS2120 supports 1.8V and 3.3V IO voltage supply based on the voltage applied on the IOVDD pin. I2S digital input pin has an optional weak pull down to prevent the pin from floating. Pull downs are not enabled during HW shutdown. The pull downs are disabled by default and can be enabled by setting the corresponding Pull down enable bit high. Table 6-45.

6.5 Programming
The device contains configuration registers and programming coefficients that can be set to the desired values for a specific system and application use. These registers are called device control registers and are each eight bits in width, mapped using a page scheme. Each page contains 128 configuration registers. All key device configuration registers are stored in page 0, which is the default page setting at power up and after a software reset. All programmable coefficient registers are located in page 2, page 3 and later pages. The current page of the device can be switched to a new desired page by using the PAGE[7:0] bits located in register 0 of every page.
6.5.1 I2C Control Interface
The device supports the I 2C control protocol as a target device, and is capable of operating in standard mode, fast mode, and fast mode plus. Device configuration and status are provided via the SDA and SCL pins using the I2C protocol.
6.5.2 I2C Address Selection
The TAS2120 can operate using one of four selectable device addresses. I 2C target addresses is defined as the 7 MSBs followed by read/write bit. Table 6-46 below illustrates how to select the device I 2C address and the address corresponds to R/W bit set to 0 (ie ADDR[6:0],1b'0). The I 2C address is detected by sampling the address pins when SDZ pin is released or when device is reset using software reset bit. Table 6-46. I2C Mode Address Selection I2C TARGET ADDRESS AD2 PIN AD1 PIN 0x80 (global address) NA NA 0x90 GND GND 0x92 GND IOVDD 0x94 IOVDD GND 0x96 IOVDD IOVDD The TAS2120 has a global 7-bit I 2C address 0x40 (0x80 in 8-bit format with R/W bit set to 0). When enabled the device will additionally respond to I 2C commands at this address regardless of the address pins selected . This is used to speed up device configuration when using multiple TAS2120 devices and programming similar settings across all devices. The I 2C ACK / NACK cannot be used during the multi-device writes since multiple devices are responding to the I 2C command. The I 2C CRC function should be used to ensure each device properly received the I2C commands. At the completion of writing multiple devices using the global address, the CRC at I2C_CKSUM register should be checked on each device using the local address for a proper value. The global I2C address can be disabled using I2C_GBL_EN register. Table 6-47. I2C Global Address Enable I2C_GBL_EN SETTING
6.5.3 General I2C Operation
The I 2C bus employs two signals, SDA (data) and SCL (clock), to communicate between integrated circuits in a system using serial data transmission. The address and data 8-bit bytes are transferred MSB first. In addition, each byte transferred on the bus is acknowledged by the receiving device with an acknowledge bit. Each transfer operation begins with the controller device driving a start condition on the bus and ends with the controller device driving a stop condition on the bus. The bus uses transitions on the data pin (SDA) while the clock is at logic high to indicate start and stop conditions. A high-to-low transition on SDA indicates a start, and a low-to-high transition indicates a stop. Normal data-bit transitions must occur within the low time of the clock period. TAS2120 SLASFC6 – AUGUST 2024 www.ti.com

Product Folder Links: TAS2120 ADVANCE INFORMATION
The controller device drives a start condition followed by the 7-bit target address and the read/write (R/W) bit to open communication with another device and then waits for an acknowledgment condition. The target device holds SDA low during the acknowledge clock period to indicate acknowledgment. When this occurs, the controller device transmits the next byte of the sequence. Each target device is addressed by a unique 7-bit target address plus the R/W bit (1 byte). All compatible devices share the same signals via a bidirectional bus using a wired-AND connection. www.ti.com TAS2120 SLASFC6 – AUGUST 2024 Copyright © 2024 Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Document Feedback 41 Product Folder Links: TAS2120 ADVANCE INFORMATION
There is no limit on the number of bytes that can be transmitted between start and stop conditions. When the last word transfers, the controller device generates a stop condition to release the bus. Figure 6-10 shows a generic data transfer sequence. Register□(N) 8-□Bit□Data□for 8-□Bit□Data□for Register□(N+1) Figure 6-10. Typical I2C Sequence In the system, use external pullup resistors for the SDA and SCL signals to set the logic high level for the bus. The SDA and SCL voltages must not exceed the device supply voltage, IOVDD.
6.5.4 I2C Single-Byte and Multiple-Byte Transfers
The device I 2C interface supports both single-byte and multiple-byte read/write operations for all registers. During multiple-byte read operations, the device responds with data, a byte at a time, starting at the register assigned, as long as the controller device continues to respond with acknowledges. The device supports sequential I 2C addressing. For write transactions, if a register is issued followed by data for that register and all the remaining registers that follow, a sequential I 2C write transaction takes place. For I2C sequential write transactions, the register issued then serves as the starting point, and the amount of data subsequently transmitted, before a stop or start is transmitted, determines how many registers are written.
6.5.5 I2C Single-Byte Write
As shown in Figure 6-11, a single-byte data write transfer begins with the controller device transmitting a start condition followed by the I 2C device address and the read/write bit. The read/write bit determines the direction of the data transfer. For a write-data transfer, the read/write bit must be set to 0. After receiving the correct I 2C target address and the read/write bit, the device responds with an acknowledge bit (ACK). Next, the controller device transmits the register byte corresponding to the device internal register address being accessed. After receiving the register byte, the device again responds with an acknowledge bit (ACK). Then, the controller transmits the byte of data to be written to the specified register. When finished, the target device responds with an acknowledge bit (ACK). Finally, the controller device transmits a stop condition to complete the single-byte data write transfer.

6.5.6 I2C Multiple-Byte Write
As shown in Figure 6-12, a multiple-byte data write transfer is identical to a single-byte data write transfer except that multiple data bytes are transmitted by the controller device to the target device. After receiving each data byte, the device responds with an acknowledge bit (ACK). Finally, the controller device transmits a stop condition after the last data-byte write transfer. Register Figure 6-12. I2C Multiple-Byte Write Transfer
6.5.7 I2C Single-Byte Read
As shown in Figure 6-13, a single-byte data read transfer begins with the controller device transmitting a start condition followed by the I 2C target address and the read/write bit. For the data read transfer, both a write followed by a read are done. Initially, a write is done to transfer the address byte of the internal register address to be read. As a result, the read/write bit is set to 0. After receiving the target address and the read/write bit, the device responds with an acknowledge bit (ACK). The controller device then sends the internal register address byte, after which the device issues an acknowledge bit (ACK). The controller device transmits another start condition followed by the target address and the read/write bit again. This time, the read/write bit is set to 1, indicating a read transfer. Next, the device transmits the data byte from the register address being read. After receiving the data byte, the controller device transmits a not-acknowledge (NACK) followed by a stop condition to complete the single-byte data read transfer.

7 Application and Implementation
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
7.1 Application Information
TAS2120 is a mono channel digital-in Class-D amplifier with integrated Boost, battery voltage and temperature monitoring capabilities. I2S audio data is supplied by host processor via SDIN data port along with the bit clock and frame sync signals. I2C bus is used for configuration and control. The device needs external power supply voltage rails of VBAT: 2.5V to 5.5V, VDD : 1.65V to 1.95V and IOVDD: 1.8V or 3.3V for operation. PurePathTM Console 3 (PPC3) software is the recommended tool to configure the device, and it enables optimization of device performance parameters depending on different application scenarios.
7.2 Typical Application
Diagrams below shows the typical application connections for 1S and 2S Li-Ion battery and for the external PVDD or 3S Battery connection. VBAT_SNS pin connection is optional and if not used, this pin should be grounded. SEL1 is used for HW Mode selection or I2C Mode selection of the Device. System can use same 1.8V supply source to power the IOVDD and VDD if required. The decoupling caps C2 and C3 should still be placed close to the device pins. VBAT, VDD, PVDD power rails are critical for device performance and wide trace should be used from the source PMIC to these pins to minimize parasitic inductance. Supply ripple should be kept at minimum for these rails and should be connected to common supply planes. TAS2120 SLASFC6 – AUGUST 2024 www.ti.com

7.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
(2)
7.2.2.1 Mono/Stereo Configuration
In this application, the device is assumed to be operating in mono mode. See Section 6.5.2 for information on changing the I 2C address of the TAS2120 to support stereo or multi-channel operation. Mono or stereo configuration does not impact the device performance.
7.2.2.2 Boost Converter Passive Devices
The boost converter requires multiple passive devices that are labeled L1, C7, C8 , C12 in Section 7.2 and whose specifications are provided in Table 7-1. These specifications are based on the design of the TAS2120 and are necessary to meet the performance targets of the device. In particular, L1 should not be allowed to enter in the current saturation region. The saturation current (I SAT) for L1 should be > (ILIM + 5%) to deliver Class-D peak power. ISAT and ILIM values should be selected based on peak output power required in the application. Additionally, the ratio of L1/C (the derated value of C7,C8 ,C12) has to be less than 1/3 for boost stability. This ratio is relaxed to 1/2 in 2S battery mode of operation. This ratio should be maintained including the worst case variation of boost inductor and output capacitors. To satisfy sufficient energy transfer, L1 needs to be ≥ 0.47μH at the boost switching frequency (100kHz to 4MHz). Using a 0.47μH will help in reducing the capacitor requirements and save board space, but comes at the cost of increased voltage ripple on VBAT and reduces average input current and hence max P OUT of the device. High PSRR of TAS2120 should minimize the effect from the additional ripple on VBAT supply. The L1 inductor series resistance (ESR) is another critical parameter to be selected in the application. Lower ESR reduces power loss and helps in improving overall system efficiency. Based on available board space, smallest ESR inductors which meet the application needs will give better efficiency performance.
7.2.2.3 EMI Passive Devices
The TAS2120 supports edge-rate control to minimize EMI, but the system designer may want to include passive devices on the Class-D output for further reduction in EMI . These passive devices that are labeled L2, L3, C10 and C11 in Section 7.2. If C10 and C11 are used, L2 and L3 must also be installed, and C10 and C11 must be placed after L2 and L3 respectively to maintain the stability of the output stage. The component value selection for the EMI filters depends on the application need on the frequency band that needs to be suppressed using these filters. Higher cutoff frequency helps in reducing the BOM size and reduces the switching power loss associated with the filters. Application should select the highest cutoff frequency filter which will meet the system's frequency suppression target to get better efficiency performance. The DC resistance of the inductors or ferrite beads used in the EMI filters also plays a critical role in system efficiency. Lower resistance reduces power loss and helps in improving overall system efficiency. Based on available board space, smallest DC resistance components which meet the application needs will give better efficiency performance.
7.2.2.4 Miscellaneous Passive Devices
The GREG Capacitor requires 100 nF to meet boost and Class-D power delivery and efficiency specs. For device functionality, the GREG capacitor should be kelvin/star connected to PVDD pin of the device. In order to maintain the device performance and keep the supply ripple within the device specification, minimizing the parasitic inductance on supply/ground paths for decoupling capacitors is required. All supply decapacitors should be selected as smallest package footprint to minimize the ESL of the capacitors. The layout placement and routing of the capacitors is critical for minimizing the trace parasitic inductance. Refer to Layout section (Section 9.1) to get detailed recommendations.

8 Power Supply Recommendations
TAS2120 supports supply voltages to ramp up/down in any order of sequence for the externally supplied voltages on VDD, IOVDD, VBAT and PVDD(for external PVDD mode). SDZ pin must be held low when supplies are not in stable operating condition. Once all the supplies are stable, SDZ pin can be asserted high for device to start operating. SDZ pin must be pulled low before any supply is ramped down below its recommended operating voltage. If using the device in external PVDD mode, the SW pad must be kept floating. Once all the supplies are valid and SDZ pin is released to high, the digital core voltage regulator powers up, and starts the internal initialization sequence. After a hardware or software reset, additional i2c commands to the device should be delayed by at-least 300us to allow the device internal blocks to be initialized.

9 Layout
9.1 Layout Guidelines
- Use wide traces for signals that carry high current and avoid VIAs wherever possible. If VIAs can't be avoided, multiple VIAs should be added to enable low parasitic inductance and high current capability. These include traces for PVDD, VBAT, VDD, PGND, BGND, GND, OUT_P and OUT_N.
- PGND and BGND signals should be directly connected and shorted to the ground plane of board to minimize parasitic inductance. Common inductance between ground pins (eg GND and PGND or GND and BGND common routing) before connecting to ground plane should be avoided.
- The coupling between high switching signal traces like OUT_P, OUT_N, SW should be avoided from sensitive low voltage signals.
- Minimize capacitance between high switching lines like OUT_P, OUT_N, SW to ground/static nodes. Larger capacitance will result in efficiency drop. Coupling between OUT_P and OUT_N will also cause degraded efficiency.
- VBAT routing to the boost inductor and the device VBAT pin should be star connected to the common VBAT supply plane. Ensure the decoupling capacitor C4 is placed close to the device and decoupling capacitor C5 is placed close to the inductor.
- Place the boost inductor between VBAT and SW close to the device terminal with no VIAs between device terminal and the inductor. VBAT routing to the boost inductor should be routed with minimal routing resistance to achieve best performance from device.
- Decoupling capacitors should be placed close to the device. Smallest possible package size is recommended for the decaps to achieve best performance from device. DREG, VDD, IOVDD, VBAT (C4 cap), PVDD low ESL (C6 cap) are recommended to be 0201 case size or lower. VIAs between decapacitors and device pins should be avoided, or multiple VIAs added to minimize parasitic inductances.
- All decoupling capacitor's ground terminal should be strongly connected to the ground plane with multiple ground VIAs. The ground routing loop between the cap ground and the device ground pins should be minimized.
- For VDD Y-bridge functionality, the routing from the host PMIC to the device VDD should be wide supply plane trace with minimal routing parasitic inductance.
- For the capacitor between GREG-PVDD (C9 cap), PVDD side of capacitor should not be connected directly to the PVDD decoupling capacitors (C6, C7 and C8), and should be connected as close as possible to the device PVDD pin.
- In external PVDD mode of operation, SW pin should be left floating and not connected to any supply or ground signals. www.ti.com TAS2120 SLASFC6 – AUGUST 2024 Copyright © 2024 Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Document Feedback 53 Product Folder Links: TAS2120 ADVANCE INFORMATION
