Automotive emergency call (eCall) audio subsystem reference design

TIDA-060048

Design files

Overview

The efficiency and diagnostics necessary for automotive emergency call (eCall) systems generate unique requirements for the audio subsystem, such as recording diagnostics, speaker diagnostics and low power consumption. This design shows how to use our automotive, two-channel audio codec and a class-D audio amplifier for eCall applications. The reference design also highlights critical design factors and benefits of our design such as low-power consumption and efficiency, loud and clear audio output, and integrated diagnostics and protection.

Features
  • Passes CISPR 25 class 5 radiated emissions limits
  • 22W through a 4Ω load output power
  • Integrated input recording fault diagnostics and protection
  • Integrated speaker load diagnostics
  • Register settings included for the TAC5312-Q1
