Introduction
Introduction
The AIC26 is a low power high performance audio codec with mono input and
stereo output. There are two digital interface buses on the AIC26 that commu-
nicate with a host processor: the SPI interface and the I2S interface. The SPI
serial interface is for a host processor to control the AIC26, and the audio data
is communicated to the AIC26 over the I2S bus. The AIC26 accesses both of
these buses through the use of a USB microcontroller, which provides a way
to generate data for both buses from a PC running Windowsr98, Windows
2000, or Windows XP.

1.1 Device Characteristics
The AIC26 is an audio codec with headphone/speaker amplifier and a 12-bit
battery/temperature/auxiliary measurement ADC. The AIC26 has audio
playback and record capabilities. Access to the audio DAC and ADC sections
of the AIC26 is through an I2S interface. The AIC26 interfaces to the host
controller through a standard SPI serial interface. The AIC26 offers two battery
measurement inputs capable of reading battery voltages up to 6 V, while
operating with only a 2.7-V supply. It also has an on-chip temperature sensor
capable of reading 1°C resolution.

The digital control interface is through either the USB bus or an external SPI
bus. The onboard microprocessor can be disabled, allowing the external SPI
bus to control the AIC26.
Power supplies are derived from the USB bus, or may be provided to the kit
through external connectors from an external user-supplied laboratory power
supply.

Analog Inputs/Outputs

Introduction
1.3 Analog Inputs/Outputs
The audio signal comes from either the on-board microphone MK1 or an
external microphone, connected to J5. The audio output is accessed through
connectors J6, J7, and/or terminal block J13. The other analog inputs are
brought onto the board through the J3 terminal block. The AUX input must be
between 0 V and 3.3 V, while the battery inputs, VBAT1 and VBAT2 can range
from 0 V to 6 V.
1.4 External Voltage Reference
If the external voltage reference is used, the reference can be input to the
AIC26 device through the J4 terminal block. The reference (internal or
external) is needed for the AUX, BAT1, or BAT2 ADC measurement.
1.5 Power Requirements
The AIC26EVM can be powered from either the USB port or an external 6-VDC
to 10-VDC power supply.
1.6 Computer Requirements
The AIC26EVM software is designed to run on a PC running Windows
platforms that support USB (Windows98SE, 2000, XP, etc).
Minimum requirements include:
-IBM-compatible Pentium PC or higher
-Windows98SE/2000/XP
-64-MByte RAM minimum
-20-MByte Available hard disk space
-CD-ROM drive

Unpacking the EVM
2-2
2.1 Unpacking the EVM
When unpacking the AIC26EVM, check to make sure that you received all of
the material that should be in the box. The EVM kit should include the following:
-AIC26EVM board, PWB 6444324
-CD-ROM, 6460667
If any of these components is missing, contact Texas Instruments for a
replacement.
2.2 Default Configuration
The AIC26EVM features a few simple means of configuring its operation. The
default settings for these items are shown in Table 2−1. When you unpack your
AIC26EVM, make sure that your board is initially configured as listed in the
table.
Table 2−1.Default Configuration Settings
Board Identifier Description Default Setting
JMP1 Differential MIC input Not installed
JMP2 MIC BIAS select 2 to 3
JMP3 A1 select for EEPROM Installed
JMP4 PWR select 1 to 2
JMP9 IOVDD selected as 3.3 V 1 to 2
SW1 On board On board I2S SW1_1 ON
TAS1020B enable On board MCLK SW1_2 ON
On board SPI SW1_3 ON
USB Reset SW1_4 ON
NOTE: JMP5 through JMP8 are installed by default. These jumpers can be removed and replaced
by current meters for evaluating or testing the corresponding power consumption.
2.3 Quick Start
Once the AIC26EVM has been unpacked and you have verified that the board
is configured as shown in Table 2−1, install the software.
Place the CD-ROM into your PC’s CD-ROM drive. Locate the Setup program
on the disk and run it. The Setup program installs the AIC26EVM software on
your PC. Note that if you are running Windows2000 or XP, you need admin-
istrator privileges to install the software. Follow the instructions that the install-
er gives you.
When the installation is complete, connect a USB cable from your PC to the
AIC26EVM. You may see a message that a Human Interface /Audio Device
has been connected. Once this connection has been made, launch the
AIC26EVM software on your PC.
The software should automatically find the AIC26EVM. If the board is found,
the screen shown in Figure 2−1 appears.

1 to 2 MIC BIAS from fixed resistor
JMP2 2 to 3 MIC BIAS from AIC26 2 to 3 3.1.2
JMP3 1 to 2 A1 select for EEPROM Installed 3.1.3
1 to 2 PWR select: USB powered
JMP4 2 to 3 PWR select: External power supply 1 to 2 3.1.4
Removed Power is not provided to AIC26
JMP5 −JMP8 Installed Power is provided to AIC26 Installed 3.1.5
1 to 2 AIC26 uses 3.3-V IOVDD
JMP9 2 to 3 AIC26 uses 1.8-V IOVDD 1 to 2 3.1.6
3.1.1 Differential Microphone Input
The microphone signal can be input to the AIC26 through the MICIN or AUX,
if the signal is single ended. In single-ended mode, JMP1 should be removed.
The microphone signal, if differential, can be connected to the AIC26 through
J5 and to the AIC26 MICIN and AUX pins. In differential mode, JMP1 should
be installed.
3.1.2 MIC BIAS Selection
JMP2 selects the microphone bias to come from the AIC26 itself or from an
external resistor, R11, which is not installed on the AIC26EVM board. If an
external bias is needed, the appropriate size resistor can be soldered into the
R11 location on the board and JMP2 set to connect between positions 1 and
2. If MIC BIAS is not required, do not install the jumper top for JMP2 in any
position.
3.1.3 EEPROM A1 Select
The AIC26EVM loads its firmware from an onboard EEPROM. In order to use
the firmware in this EEPROM, its address A2, A1, A0 should be 000b. JMP3
is used to pull the A1 line low so that the EEPROM is selected. When A1 is not
low, the EEPROM is not able to interface to the on-board TAS1020B
processor.
This jumper can be removed when firmware updates are to be made.
3.1.4 Power Supply Selection
The AIC26EVM can be powered from the USB port directly, or an external
power supply can be provided through J9 or J10. JMP4 selects between the
USB and external power sources.

3.1.5 Power Supply Current Measurement
Four jumpers are on the front of the four power supply pins of the AIC26. The
jumpers can be replaced by current meters that measure and monitor the
currents in the corresponding power supply pins. Refer to Table 2−1 note.
3.1.6 IOVDD Voltage Selection
One of the features of the AIC26 is that the digital IO power supply is flexible
with a range from 1.1 V to 3.6 V. To evaluate the feature, the EVM has the JMP9
jumper for IOVDD selection. If JMP9 is at 1 to 2 position, IOVDD is 3.3 V; if
JMP9 is at 2 to 3, IOVDD is 1.8 V: and without JMP9, an extra power supply
(1.1 V to 3. 6 V) can be connected to IOVDD.
3.2 Switches
The SW1 switch on the board gives users the option to select SPI and I2S as
well as MCLK signal resources.
Table 3−2 shows the function of the switch.

SW1 ON On-board SPI selected
SW1-3 OFF External SPI selected ON 3.2.1

SW1-4 OFF USB Reset not connected to AIC26 ON 3.2.4
3.2.1 SPI Selection
The SPI bus on the AIC26 provides the main interface between a
host-processor and the AIC26 device. The on-board TAS1020B plays the role
of the host processor, if SW1-3 is set ON. If an external processor or SPI device
is used, set the SW1-3 to the OFF position so as to disable the on-board SPI
interface to the TAS1020B and open the AIC26 SPI port to the external SPI
bus.

Switches
3-4
3.2.2 I2S Selection
The I2S bus on the AIC26 can interface with the onboard host processor, the
TAS1020B USB controller, or with other offboard external I2S processor or
devices. When SW1-1 is set ON, the manufacture default, the AIC26 I2S is
connected to the TAS1020B’s I2S. Otherwise, if SW1-1 is shifted to OFF, the
buffer between the on board I2S port is disabled so that an external I2S can
communicate with the AIC26 I2S port.
3.2.3 MCLK Selection
The AIC26 requires a proper MCLK for basic audio ADC/DAC functions. The
TAS1020B onboard processor generates an 11.2896-MHz frequency to
provide the MCLK. If an external MCLK is preferred, SW1-2 should be turned
off.
3.2.4 USB Reset
A reset signal output from the onboard TAS1020B processor can be used to
reset the the AIC26 whenever the TAS1020B is resetting. SW1−4 is used to
enable/disable the connection. By default, the connection is enabled. If the
processing is not active, the connection to the AIC26 should be disabled by
turning off SW1−4.
