3 Description
The PCM2912A is the Texas Instruments single-chip,
USB stereo audio codec with a USB, 2.0-compliant,
full-speed protocol controller and an analog front-end
(AFE) function for headset applications.
The USB protocol controller works with no software
code, but USB descriptors can be modified on
request.
The
PCM2912A
employs
SpAct™
architecture, TI’s unique system that recovers the
audio clock from USB packet data. On-chip analog
PLLs with SpAct enables independent playback and
record sampling rates with low clock jitters.

9.3 Feature Description
9.3.1 Clock and Reset
The PCM2912A requires a 6-MHz (±500 ppm) clock for USB function and audio function, which can be
generated from a built-in crystal oscillator with a 6-MHz crystal resonator. The 6-MHz crystal resonator must be
connected to XTI (pin 8) and XTO (pin 7) with one high (1-MΩ) resistor and two small capacitors, whose
capacitance depends on the load capacitance of the crystal resonator. An external clock can be supplied through
XTI; if an external clock is supplied, XTO must be left open. Because there is no clock disabling signal, using the
external clock supply is not recommended. SSPND (pin 29) is unable to use clock disabling.
The PCM2912A has an internal power-on-reset circuit, which works automatically when VBUS (pin 2) exceeds
2.5 V, typical (2.2 V to 2.7 V), and approximately 700 μs is required until the internal reset is released.
9.3.2 DAC
The PCM2912A has a stereo delta-sigma DAC that uses a 64-fS oversampling technique with an 8-fS
oversampling digital filter. DAC outputs are provided through the headphone amplifier; VOUTL (pin 18) and VOUTR
(pin 22) provide 13 mW at 32 Ω and 0.6 VCCL/VCCR VPP at a 10-kΩ load.
9.3.3 ADC
The PCM2912A has a mono delta-sigma ADC that uses a 64-fS oversampling technique with a 1/64-fS
decimation digital filter. The microphone input, VIN (pin 16), is fed to the ADC through a +20-dB microphone
amplifier and the PGA, which has +30 dB to –12 dB in 1-dB steps.
9.3.4 Microphone Bias
The PCM2912A has a microphone bias generator, which provides a low-noise, 0.75-VCCA, 2-mA source current
output with appropriate output impedance for electret-microphone driving. This output, MBIAS (pin 17), should be
bypassed to AGND (pin 13) through an appropriate capacitor to reduce the output noise level.
9.3.5 Microphone Amplifier
The PCM2912A has a low-noise, single-ended, mono microphone amplifier with a mute function that is controlled
by MUTE (pin 30). The signal gain is selectable by MAMP (pin 23). The noise level at the input node is 5 μVRMS,
and the input impedance is 20 kΩ.
9.3.6 Input PGA
The PCM2912A also has a low-noise input, programmable gain amplifier (PGA) for the microphone amplifier
output/ADC input, with a gain range of +30 dB to –12 dB in 1dB/step.
9.3.7 Sidetone Programmable Attenuator
The PCM2912A has a low-noise, sidetone programmable attenuator with a mute function for the sidetone signal
path (microphone amplifier output to output PGA input), and a gain range of 0 dB to –76 dB in 1 dB/step.
9.3.8 Output Programmable Attenuator
The PCM2912A has a low-noise output programmable attenuator with a mute function for mixed signal, which
affects DAC output signal and sidetone signal. The output PGA gain range is 0 dB to –76 dB in 1 dB/step.
9.3.9 VCOM1 and VCCM2
VCOM2 (pin 12) is provided for the center voltage of the headphone amplifier. VCOM1 (pin 11) is provided for the
center voltage of all other analog circuits. Each VCOM pin must be decoupled with an appropriate capacitor.
Because the headphone output is disconnected when entering the suspend state, determining the capacitance is
important to prevent pop noise, especially for VCOM2 (pin 12). The equivalent resistance of VCOM2 is 500 kΩ, and
VCOM1 is 15 kΩ.

9.3.11 Interface Sequence
9.3.11.1 Power-On, Attach, and Play Back Sequence
The PCM2912A is ready for setup when the reset sequence has finished and the USB bus is attached. After a
connection has been established, the PCM2912A is ready to accept USB audio data. While waiting for the audio
data (that is, in an idle state), the analog output is set to bipolar zero (BPZ).
When receiving the audio data, the PCM2912A stores the first audio packet, which contains 1-ms audio data,
into the internal storage buffer. The PCM2912A starts playing the audio data when the subsequent Start of
Frame (SOF) packet is detected, as shown in Figure 32.

9.4 Device Functional Modes
The PCM2912A is a USB-controlled device. The PCM2912A is a codec, with an analog input (that goes to an
A/D converter) and analog output (that comes from a D/A converter), alongside the analog path that goes from
the microphone input to the headphone output. A wider explanation of these operational modes is shown in
Feature Description.
The PCM2912A has hardware controls to turn on and off the integrated microphone preamplifier and the
microphone input itself (MAMP and MMUTE, respectively); the microphone preamplifier has +20-dB fixed gain.

9.5.1.5 Endpoints
The PCM2912A has the following three endpoints:
• Control endpoint (EP #0)
• Isochronous out audio data stream endpoint (EP #1)
• Isochronous in audio data stream endpoint (EP #2)
The control endpoint is the default endpoint. The control endpoint controls all functions of the PCM2912A by the
standard USB request and USB audio class-specific request from the host. The isochronous out audio data
stream endpoint is an audio sink endpoint, which receives the PCM audio data. The isochronous out audio data
stream endpoint accepts the asynchronous transfer mode. The isochronous in audio data stream endpoint is an
audio source endpoint, which transmits the PCM audio data. The isochronous in audio data stream endpoint
uses synchronous transfer mode.
9.5.1.6 Internal Regulator
All required power sources are generated by five internal regulators.
Each regulator generates 3.3 V (typical, without load) from VBUS (pin 2). Each regulator has an output pin and a
ground return pin (as described in Table 6); this pair must be decoupled with an appropriate capacitor. Note that
this capacitance affects inrush-current limitation. One band-gap reference circuit supplies reference voltage for all
regulators. BGND (pin 1) is provided for reference ground of the band-gap reference.

10 Application and Implementation
NOTE
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.
10.1 Application Information
The VBUS alerts the device when it has been plugged to a USB connection port. The /SSPND flag notifies when
the USB input is idle for at least 5 ms; this flag can be used to control or notify subsequent circuits. More
functional details can be found in Interface Sequence.

11 Power Supply Recommendations
The voltage source to power the PCM2912A must be between 4.35 V and 5.25 V for proper operation (USB
voltage). TI recommends placing a decoupling capacitor in every voltage source pin to help filter lower frequency
power supply noise. Place these decoupling capacitors as close as possible to the PCM2912A.
12 Layout
12.1 Layout Guidelines
The decoupling capacitors must be as close as possible to the PCM2912A pins. TI recommends following the
output filter for the headphone amplifier used in the PCM2912A EVM. The analog input needs a series capacitor
to eliminate any possible offset level. The PCM2912A is a low-power device, thus there is no need for a special
heat sink PCB design.
