TDM (Time-Division Multiplexing)

TDM Audio (Time Division Multiplexing Audio) is a method for transmitting multiple audio channels over a single data line (or a pair of data lines) by dividing the transmission content into multiple time slots. This technique is widely used in digital audio systems to efficiently manage and transmit multiple audio streams, particularly in professional audio, consumer electronics, and automotive applications.

Acute Technology offers logic analyzers with support of TDM decoding.

TDM Decoding Setup Steps

1. Click Quick Settings or Add Protocol Decode to select a protocol for logic analyzer capture.

2. Select TDM for decoding.

3. If you use Quick Settings, the system will recommend configurations for trigger type, sampling rate, voltage threshold, and channel settings.

4. Click the icon to access the Decode Settings screen.

Decode Settings

Channel: The signal pins of the Device Under Test (DUT) are assigned to the channel numbers of the logic analyzer.

Option: Adjust the detailed settings of the audio signal.

  • Slot bits: Data width of an audio channel.
  • Audio bits: Valid bits in the slot bits.
  • Channel Count: Number of audio channels (e.g., 2, 4, 8)
  • Latch Edge: Choose which clock edge to latch data (Rising or Falling)
  • Start Pulse: Set the polarity of the active pulse (High or Low)
  • Data Offset: Bit offset before starting data capture
  • LSB First: Check this if the data is transmitted with LSB first
  • Save as CSV file: Save the decoded result as a .CSV file

Mode: Set the data arrangement format. The following formats are currently supported:

Sound Reduction: You can perform the following on the decoded audio:

  • Display the audio waveform
  • Enable meet full scale
  • Save as WAV file
  • Align common sampling rate
  • Playback: Choose to play all, 5 seconds, or 3 seconds
