Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone with experience across DSP, analog audio, and power design might be willing to cast an eye over my schematic. I'd be grateful for any feedback on errors, oversights, or improvements across all three sheets.

Page 1 — Analog Input & Codec
This page covers the input preamp stage through to the ADAU1761BCPZ codec. The preamp is built around an OPA134 op-amp with an MMBFJ113 JFET, feeding the ADAU1761 LINP pin single-ended, with LINN tied to CM. The CM pin has 10µF and 22µF in parallel to GND (32µF total). MONOOUT is used as the single output, via a 10µF capacitor and 100Ω series resistor to the output stage. The codec is configured via I²C and clocked via MCLK. ADDR0 and ADDR1 are both tied to GND giving address 0x38. IOVDD, AVDD, and DVDDOUT are all individually decoupled.

Page 2 — Power Section
Three rails generated from a 9V DC input:
- 3.3V: ADP7104ARDZ-3.3-R7 LDO. Input decoupled with 100nF, 4.7µF, and 10µF. Output decoupled with 100nF and 10µF.
- 1.1V: TPS62130A buck converter fed from 3.3V. Feedback resistor R24 (37.4kΩ) sets the output. L1 is 2.2µH. DEF pin tied to GND. FSW pin tied to GND (400kHz switching frequency). Output decoupled with 2.2µF and 22µF.
- 1.8V: AP2112K-1.8 LDO fed from 3.3V. EN tied to VIN. Input and output each decoupled with 1µF.
The clock is an ASV-24.576MHz active oscillator. EN tied to VDD (always enabled). Output fed via 22Ω to the DSP CLKIN net and via a separate 22Ω to the codec MCLK pin. Oscillator VDD decoupled with 100nF.

Page 3 — ADSP-21565 DSP Core
The DSP is the ADSP-21565BSWZ10 in 120-pin LQFP_EP package.
Power:
- VDD_INT (1.1V): 100nF per pin, bulk 10µF
- VDD_EXT (3.3V): 100nF per pin
- VDD_REF (1.8V): 10nF + 100nF per pin
- VDD_ANA (1.8V, Pin 85): 100nF + 10µF
- Exposed pad (Pin 121): GND
Boot mode: SYS_BMODE0 (Pin 105) pulled high via 10kΩ, SYS_BMODE1 (Pin 106) pulled low via 10kΩ — BMODE 01 = SPI boot.
Reset: SYS_HWRST (Pin 104) pulled high via 10kΩ with 100nF to GND.
Audio interface (DAI1, I²S): DAI1_PIN01/02/03/08 (Pins 77/76/75/70) connecting to ADAU1761 BCLK, LRCLK, ADC_SDATA, and DAC_SDATA respectively, each with 22Ω series resistors.
SPI flash: W25Q16JVSSQ connected on DAI1_PIN04–07 (Pins 74/73/72/71). WP and HOLD pulled high via 10kΩ to 3.3V.
I²C / TWI0: PA_10 (Pin 28) = SCL, PA_11 (Pin 34) = SDA. 2kΩ pull-ups to 3.3V on both lines.
JTAG: ICE-1000 compatible 14-pin header. TDI/TCK/TMS direct, TDO via 22Ω, TRST via 4.7kΩ pull-down to GND. VDDIO on header pulled up via 4.7kΩ to 3.3V. EMU left unconnected.
GPIO LEDs: Five LEDs on PA_00–PA_04 (Pins 14/15/16/18/19), each with a series current limiting resistor.
HADC pins (81–84): All tied directly to GND, unused.

My specific concerns are:
1. Power sequencing — does the ADSP-21565 have hard sequencing requirements between the 1.1V, 1.8V, and 3.3V rails, and does a passive approach satisfy them?
2. Are there any issues with the single-ended preamp into the ADAU1761 differential input as described above?
3. Any general errors or omissions I may have missed across any of the three pages.
I'm happy to share the schematic PDF with anyone willing to take a look. Thank you in advance.
Divya.P - Moved from Processors & DSP to ADSP-2156x. Post date updated from Wednesday, June 3, 2026 6:56 AM UTC to Friday, June 5, 2026 3:43 AM UTC to reflect the move.
I have done as you asked, Nandini, and I am awaiting their reply.

Mark.
Hello,
Mistakes I have seen often is with placement of bypass caps and how they are tied to power and ground planes.
First,. the caps must be on the same side as the DSP.
Then traces from the pins for power and ground need to go by the caps then to a via to go to the power and ground planes!! Do not place the via between the part and the cap.
Then do not tie the ground pin to the small ground plane on the top if the DSP has an EP. Let the EP get its ground from its own vias and do not tie the ground pins to the EP pad!
I have seen this cause issues with PLL locking etc.
In addition to the bypass caps on the power rails, the same applies to caps for things like the PLL Loop filter etc.

Hi, Dave, and thank you for your input.
The way you have explained it is the same way I have done it. Pin---Cap---Via, and the EP does have its own Vias.
Thanks again,
Mark.
Hi,
This query has already been addressed under support ticket CS-578559-R5N1N7.
We have reviewed the schematics and provided our comments in that ticket.To avoid duplicating efforts, please continue the discussion there.
Regard,
