Hardware Overview
How does it work?
MP3 Click is based on the VS1053, an Ogg Vorbis, MP3, AAC, WMA, FLAC, and MIDI audio codec chip from VLSI Solution. It is a versatile MP3 decoder/encoder chip that belongs to VLSI Solution's extensive audio processor family and can decode even newer AAC files. It can decode MPEG 1 and MPEG 2 audio layer III (CBR+VBR+ABR) as parts of the MP3 format, MP1, and MP2, MPEG 4, WAV, General MIDI, and FLAC lossless audio with software plugins up to 24bits and 48KHz. The stereo earphone driver can drive a 30Ω load and has zero-cross detection for smooth volume change. The streaming support for MP3 and WAV, EarSpeaker spatial processing, bass, and treble controls are also included. The VS1053 can encode three different formats from a microphone connector in mono or stereo. Those
formats are lossless 16-bit PCM, IMA ADPSM, and a highly compressed, high-quality Ogg Vorbis with a software plugin. Users can easily implement microcontroller software to read MP3 files chunk by chunk and send them the same way to the host MCU. The MP3 Click receives its input bitstream through a serial input bus, which it listens to as a system peripheral. The input stream is decoded and passed through a digital volume control to an 18-bit oversampling, multi-bit, sigma-delta DAC. The decoding is controlled via a serial control bus. In addition to the basic decoding, adding application-specific features, like DSP effects, to the user RAM is possible. The MP3 Click uses an SPI serial interface to communicate with the host MCU. The SPI is used for both the chip's serial data interface (SDI) and serial control interface
(SCI). The DCS (data chip select) pin forces the serial interface into Standby mode while the chip is activated with a low logic state. In addition, the codec chip can be reset over the RST pin. The data request pin (DREQ) signals if VS1503's 2048-byte FIFO can receive data. It may turn LOW or HIGH anytime, even during a byte transmission. It should be only used to decide whether to send more bytes, while the transmission that has already started doesn't have to be aborted. This Click board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. Also, it comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.
Features overview
Development board
Fusion for TIVA v8 is a development board specially designed for the needs of rapid development of embedded applications. It supports a wide range of microcontrollers, such as different 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M based MCUs from Texas Instruments, regardless of their number of pins, and a broad set of unique functions, such as the first-ever embedded debugger/programmer over a WiFi network. The development board is well organized and designed so that the end-user has all the necessary elements, such as switches, buttons, indicators, connectors, and others, in one place. Thanks to innovative manufacturing technology, Fusion for TIVA v8 provides a fluid and immersive working experience, allowing access
anywhere and under any circumstances at any time. Each part of the Fusion for TIVA v8 development board contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. An advanced integrated CODEGRIP programmer/debugger module offers many valuable programming/debugging options, including support for JTAG, SWD, and SWO Trace (Single Wire Output)), and seamless integration with the Mikroe software environment. Besides, it also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development board. It can use a wide range of external power sources, including a battery, an external 12V power supply, and a power source via the USB Type-C (USB-C) connector.
Communication options such as USB-UART, USB HOST/DEVICE, CAN (on the MCU card, if supported), and Ethernet is also included. In addition, it also has the well-established mikroBUS™ standard, a standardized socket for the MCU card (SiBRAIN standard), and two display options for the TFT board line of products and character-based LCD. Fusion for TIVA v8 is an integral part of the Mikroe ecosystem for rapid development. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping and development thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

Application Output
1. Application Output - In Debug mode, the 'Application Output' window enables real-time data monitoring, offering direct insight into execution results. Ensure proper data display by configuring the environment correctly using the provided tutorial.
2. UART Terminal - Use the UART Terminal to monitor data transmission via a USB to UART converter, allowing direct communication between the Click board™ and your development system. Configure the baud rate and other serial settings according to your project's requirements to ensure proper functionality. For step-by-step setup instructions, refer to the provided tutorial.
3. Plot Output - The Plot feature offers a powerful way to visualize real-time sensor data, enabling trend analysis, debugging, and comparison of multiple data points. To set it up correctly, follow the provided tutorial, which includes a step-by-step example of using the Plot feature to display Click board™ readings. To use the Plot feature in your code, use the function: plot(*insert_graph_name*, variable_name);. This is a general format, and it is up to the user to replace 'insert_graph_name' with the actual graph name and 'variable_name' with the parameter to be displayed.
