How to handle slight variation in MCLK Frequency

Post by avrobot »

Hi, we have an industrial application with audio where we need to have dynamic control over MCLK frequency on the Xcore-200 MC audio board (This is due to a special application on the Host that has some variation).
The output of the PLL seems clean and the audio glitches happen a within one second of the change (not necessarily immediately).

Are there any constraints or buffering we can add to the app_usb_aud_xk_216_mc example application to allow for this?
How could we implement this in a glitch-less way?

Just to clarify, is this in Speaker (DAC) mode or Mic (ADC) mode, or both? Honestly I probably won't be able to help but that information might be helpful to someone else who can.

Thanks akp, actually we just tried changing some of the blocking chan to non-blocking streaming chans in our code - so I think our issue was some activity blocking the audio threads for a short time...
