TLV320ADC5120: How to configure the VAD function of TLV320ADC5120 without any external CLK?

Part Number: TLV320ADC5120

Tool/software:

Hi TI Team,

We want to use the VAD functionality of ADC5120 without any external CLK.

Is the ADC5120 supported?  If yes, how to configure the register to select the internal clock.

I tried these steps and fixed some values of this guide. But still no interrupt occur. I wonder if there is any other registers I need to set to make this feature work. And I measured the voltage of AREG, which is 1,8V already.

  • Hi,

    This script attached uses the onboard mic with internal oscillator clock. Please cross-check with your script during testing.
