I2S TDM Example -- ES7210 4-Ch ADC Codec

(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)

I2S on ESP32S3 and ESP32C3 supports TDM mode, in which multiple slots can be transmitted by standard I2S connection.

This example demonstrates how to use I2S TDM mode to record 4 MICs connected to ES7210 codec. ES7210 has 4 TDM modes, which are ES7210_I2S_FMT_I2S ES7210_I2S_FMT_LJ ES7210_I2S_FMT_DSP_A and ES7210_I2S_FMT_DSP_B, and they are all supported by I2S TDM driver. Relation between ES7210 TDM modes and I2S Driver TDM modes is shown in the following table.

Mode of ES7210 TDM	Mode of I2S Driver TDM
ES7210_I2S_FMT_I2S	Philips format
ES7210_I2S_FMT_LJ	MSB format
ES7210_I2S_FMT_DSP_A	PCM short format
ES7210_I2S_FMT_DSP_B	PCM long format

Recorded voice will be saved to SD card in wav format, and can be played or processed on PC.

How to Use Example

Hardware Required

• A development board with any supported Espressif SOC chip (see Supported Targets table above)
• An ES7210 module with 4 MICs connected
• A SPI SD card module
• A SD card reader and a PC (if you want to play recorded voice)

All the GPIO used in this example can be changed according to your board, by macros EXAMPLE_xxx_IO defined at the beginning of i2s_es7210_record_example.c.

Dependency

This example is based on es7210 component

The component can be installed by esp component manager. Since this example already installed it, no need to re-installed it again, but if you want to install this component in your own project, you can input the following command:

idf.py add-dependency espressif/es7210^1.0.0

If the dependency is added, you can check idf_component.yml for more detail. When building this example or other projects with managed components, the component manager will search for the required components online and download them into the managed_components folder.

Configure the project

• Set the target of the build by following command, where TARGET can be esp32s3 or esp32c3.

idf.py set-target TARGET

• Change value of EXAMPLE_I2S_FORMAT to check I2S driver's functionality on different I2S formats.
• Change EXAMPLE_ES7210_MIC_GAIN and EXAMPLE_ES7210_MIC_BIAS according your MIC's specs if needed.
• Change EXAMPLE_ES7210_ADC_VOLUME if recorded voice is too loud or too quite.

Note: it's better to adjust EXAMPLE_ES7210_MIC_GAIN first. If adjusting MIC gain doesn't meet your demand, you can then adjust EXAMPLE_ES7210_ADC_VOLUME. That is to say, it's better to adjust analog gain than digital gain.

Build and Flash

Run idf.py -p PORT flash monitor to build, flash and monitor the project.

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
