2.4-GHz Bi-directional Audio Streaming with Karaoke for
DVDs and Set Top Boxes (STB) using CC853x
Vikas Thawani and Sanjay Dixit................................................................................ Low-Power Wireless
ABSTRACT
This application note describes the power of the CC853x, which is a 2.4-GHz RF SoC for wireless audio
streaming. A standard CC853x wireless headset development kit is used to make a wireless demo for
audio transmission and reception in a standard IR (infrared) Remote-DVD/STB-TV system. Two audio
channels are transmitted from Remote to DVD, and stereo audio channels are transmitted from DVD to
Remote. The built-in Audio protocol of CC853x makes multiple audio channels to co-exist simultaneously.
The target applications for the demo are DVD and STBs without doing any software modification to the
existing IR-based system.

1 CC85xx
The CC85xx are TI’s wireless audio devices that use 2.4-Ghz unlicensed industrial, scientific, and medical
(ISM) band. This CC85xx family offers state-of-the-art co-existence and robustness, excellent link budget
and low-power operation while streaming high-quality audio wirelessly. This family has built-in audio
protocol providing excellent robustness and co-existence through multiple techniques such as adaptive-
frequency hopping and forward-error correction. CC85xx devices operate autonomously and can be used
with or without external MCU. The control interface for CC85xx is SPI and the Audio interface is I2S and
USB (CC85x1 only). Different members of the CC85xx family differ in the number of audio channels that
can be streamed simultaneously and in USB audio support.

2 Existing Remote-STB/DVD-TV system:
The bidirectional wireless Audio demo described in the application note uses the existing IR system. The
system consists of IR remote, DVD or STB and an LCD TV. DVD or STB has an IR receiver that decodes
IR commands transmitted by remote and controls the DVD operation. This IR system has the following
limitations:
Range of control
Line of sight is required for control
3 Modified System to Establish Bi-Directional Audio Link
A typical application schematic of the CC85xx Headset reference design kit is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Typical CC85xx and TLV320AIC3204 Application Schematic
The TLV320AIC3204 is a low-power stereo codec that forms the data converter of the system. MIC input
goes to ADC and is converted to I2S digital audio, whereas the I2S digital audio received is converted to
analog audio by DAC and routed to the headphone output. I2S audio is interfaced with CC8531 that forms
the link between I2S and RF. CC2590 has additional PA and LNA that are used to extend the RF range.
Figure 2 illustrates this architecture.

Figure 4. Demo Architecture
The default configuration is half duplex and is factory programmed. The following steps were performed to
configure the demo:
1. The EVM was reprogrammed to full duplex mode with both master and slave transmitting and
receiving at the same time.
2. IR commands from Remote are captured by IR receiver TSOP312xx (Figure 5), stepped down in
voltage level and fed to the MICL pin of audio codec on Headset EVM located at the remote side.

3. Karaoke MIC voice data is captured by the Electret Microphone, stepped up in voltage level by 2 stage
amplifier, and fed to MICR input of Headset EVM located at the remote side.

Modified System to Establish Bi-Directional Audio Link
Figure 6. Karaoke MIC Audio into Right Channel
4. A wireless audio link is established between the remote-side EVM and the STB/DVD-side EVM. This
enables the STB/DVD EVM to receive IR commands in RF format, and CC8531 converts the received
signal in digital I2S format. Audio codec on the EVM converts the digital audio to analog. This signal is
converted to 5-V logic level RC5 signal. A 36-kHz square wave is used to modulate RC5 and drive an
IR LED. This IR LED, when kept in front of STB/DVD, will respond to IR commands without opening
the STB/DVD.
Figure 7. Processing of Received RC5 Remote Commands
5. The right RF channel received on the STB/DVD side is Karaoke voice that is converted back to digital
I2S. The digital I2S audio is converted back to analog output received at right Headphone channel, and
is fed into TV audio along with STB/DVD audio. Hence, a karaoke effect is in place.

Conclusion

Figure 8. Add the Received Karaoke Sound to TV Audio Input
6. The STB/DVD stereo audio output is also fed to Microphone MICL and MICR inputs of DVD/STB-side
EVM. Remote side EVM receives the audio wirelessly. CC853x converts RF audio to digital I2S audio.
Audio codec on board changes digital audio to analog output that is routed to headphones connected
at the Headphone jack of the remote-side EVM. Thus, the person viewing a movie can listen to audio
on headphones and mute the TV output, a case helpful for viewing late night television.
Figure 9. STB/DVD Stereo Audio Added to MIC Input for Transmission to Remote
The previous steps help to setup a four channel wireless audio link between Remote and STB. Two
channels, MIC and IR commands, are streamed from remote to STB/DVD, and two stereo audio channels
are streamed from STB/DVD side to Remote headphones. Throughout the demo, no software changes
were made either on the remote side or on the DVD/STB side.
4 Conclusion
The remote EVM can be hooked to any standard IR Remote. The STB EVM can be placed in front of any
STB/DVD and has the capability to communicate with the IR receiver inside. This demo can further be
extended if a voice decoding engine is made on the STB side, and STB can be controlled by voice
commands from Remote. CC8531 can support wireless streaming of up to 4 audio channels
simultaneously. There are no audio dropouts, as shown in the above demo, and multiple channels can co-
exist. This fact makes CC85xx an excellent choice for applications like wireless headphones, wireless
loudspeakers and wireless 2.1 audio systems.
