6 Hardware Design Guidelines
RK3308B has rich analog audio interfaces, including 8 channels of ADC inputs and 2 channels of DAC outputs, which contain 8 channels of MIC In interfaces, 2 channels of HP Out interfaces, and 2 channels of Line Out interfaces
In the design of microphone array products, to facilitate software transplantation and maintenance, the allocation of microphone input channels and speaker return channels should follow the configuration table suggested by our company. For instance, in the 6 microphone inputs + 2 speaker outputs scheme, MIC3 to MIC8 are allocated as analog microphone input channels, while MIC1 to MIC2 are used as return channels.
The RK3308B has two MICBIAS outputs, and each MICBIAS can provide a 3mA current. For optimal performance, it is recommended to distribute the two MICBIAS power supplies among the microphones equally. If 6 analog microphones are used in the product, each MICBIAS can supply power to 3 microphones.
| Application Scene | MIC IN Channel | Loopback Channel |
|---|---|---|
| 6MIC IN + 2Speaker OUT | MIC3~MIC8 | MIC1~MIC2 |
| 6MIC IN + 1Speaker OUT | MIC3~MIC8 | MIC1 |
| 5MIC IN + 2Speaker OUT | MIC4~MIC8 | MIC1~MIC2 |
| 5MIC IN + 1Speaker OUT | MIC4~MIC8 | MIC3 |
| 4MIC IN + 2Speaker OUT | MIC5~MIC8 | MIC3~MIC4 |
| 4MIC IN + 1Speaker OUT | MIC5~MIC8 | MIC3 |
| 3MIC IN + 1Speaker OUT | MIC6~MIC8 | MIC5 |
| 2MIC IN + 1Speaker OUT | MIC7~MIC8 | MIC5 |
The RK3308 comes with a set of DAC Line Outs output pins, which are mainly used to connect to an external power amplifier as a signal input, as shown in the following Figure:
RK3308’s HP Out is connected to the headphones with an insertion detection function. The circuit diagram is shown below. When the headphones are inserted, the PHONE_DET signal changes from low level to high level (the high-level value is 1.8V), the headphone detection register value is set to 0x01, and the interrupt system responds to the headphone insertion.
RK3308B provides three sets of standard independent I2S interfaces, namely I2S0_2CH, I2S0_8CH, and I2S1_8CH, all of which support Master or Slave mo e. The highest supported sampling rate of the I2S interface is up to 192KHz, and the resolution can be supported from 16-bit to 32-bit.
As shown in the Figure, the I2S0_8CH interface includes independent 8-channel inputs and 8-
channel outputs. To meet playback and recording requirements with different sampling rates, two sets of bit clocks and frame clocks are provided correspondingly (SCLK_TX/LRCK_TX,
SCLK_RX/LRCK_R). By default, the input channel SDIx corresponds to SCLK/LRCK_RX, and the output channel SDOx corresponds to SCLK_TX/LRCK_ X. For SD0x and SDIx, only one set of bit/frame clocks is referred to, and SCLK_TX/LRCK_TX is given priority as their common clock.

The I2S1_8CH interface contains 1 SDI0, 1 SDO0, and 3 SDIxSDOx interfaces, so the SDIx and SDOx interfaces can be flexibly configured. It can support 8-channel input/2-channel output or 8-channel output/2-channel input simultaneous y. To meet the needs of playback and recording with different sampling rates, two sets of bit clock and frame clock are provided (SCLK_TX/LRCK_TX, SCLK_RX/LRCK_RX) corresponding y. The default input channel SDIx corresponds to SCLK_RX/LRCK_RX, and the output channel SDOx corresponds to SCLK_TX/LRCK_ X. For SDOx and SDIx, when considering only one set of bit/frame clocks, SCLK_TX/LRCK_TX is given priority as their common clock.

The RK3308 provides a standard PDM interface that only supports master receive mode and offers 16-24 bit sampling accuracy and a sampling rate of up to 192K z. The PDM interface consists of one CLK output interface and four SDI input interfaces and supports eight PDM MIC inputs.
The PDM interface is multiplexed via 10MUX to PDM_M0, PDM_M1, and PDM_ 2. PDM_M0 and PDM_M1 are in the RK3308 VCCI01 power domain, while PDM2 is in the RK3308 VCCI02 power domain. Multiplexing into three groups provides users with greater flexibility in product design, allowing them to select the most suitable option based on their product’s functional requirements and the easiest layout solution to implement.

SPDIF RX/TX
The RK3308 has a set of SPDIF interfaces that support both SPDIF input and output functions. It supports 16-bit, 20-bit, and 24-bit resolutions and can support a maximum sampling rate of 192Kz. The RK3308 SPDIF TX/RX interface signals are shown in the Figure：
The reference circuits for a condenser microphone and an electret microphone are shown in the following. Note that the circuit on the left side of the dashed Line should be placed close to the ADC, while the circuit on the right side must be placed close to the microphone.
Additionally, because microphones in speech products require an open design, ESD devices are added to the microphone circuit to System electrostatic discharge (ESD) capability, and they should be placed close to the microphone.
The I2S microphone requires the RK3308 to provide the I2S_SCLK (bit clock) and I2S_LRCK (frame clock) signal. The data DIN pins of the two I2S microphones are connected to the same I2S_SDI Line of the RK3308, indicating that one data line can transmit left and right channel data.
SELECT = low level indicates that the transmitted data is the left channel, and SELECT = high level indicates that the transmitted data is the right channel.
When designing, the left and right channel levels should be set correctly according to the
microphone layout. The I2S register of the RK3308 has a polarity configuration bit that can invert the left and right polarities.
Due to the opening design required for microphones in the form of voice products, ESD devices
need to be added to the I2S_SCLK and L2S_I2S lines to impSystem’sSystem’ss antistatic capability. When laying out the design, ESD devices should be placed near the microphone
The PDM microphone requires the RK3308B to provide the PDM_CLK sign l. The DATA pins of the two PDM microphones are connected to the same PDM_SDI Line of the RK3308B, indicating that one data line can transmit left and right channel da a. The corresponding left and right channels of the two microphones can be set using a signal pin (such as the L/R signal in Figure 6.5- ). Different PDM microphone manufacturers may have different high and low levels for the left and right channels, so the settings should be based on the microphone specifications.
When designing, the left and right channel levels should be set correctly according to the microphone layout. The PDM register of the RK3308B has a polarity configuration bit that can invert the left and right polarity. Due to the opening design required for microphones in the form of voice products, ESD devices need to be added to the PDM_CLK and PDM_SDI lines to system antistatic capability. When laying out the design, ESD devices should be placed near the microphone
Voltage divider acquisition circuit When users use the following acquisition circuit, it is required that the output of the Class D amplifier must be connected to the LC circuit, as shown in Figure Analog Recovery Circuit 1.
Taking the P-end as an example, Ra and Rc are mainly used to divide the output signal of the speakr. After the voltage is divided, it is input to the ADC of the RK3308B through a DC-blocking capacity. The DC component should be less than 500 V. That is, the DC voltage at point A should be less than 500mV
Second-order Filtering Acquisition Circuit
As shown in Figure 6.6-2, when the user’s Class D amplifier output does not use an LC filter circuit, an RC second-order filtering acquisition circuit can be used. The RC acquisition circuit and the DCblocking capacitor of the host end form a 22Hz-22KHz band-pass filter. Taking the P-end as an example, Ra and Rc are mainly used to divide the output signal of the speak r. After the voltage is divided, it is input to the ADC of the RK3308B through a DC-blocking capacity. The capacity ponent should be less than 500 V. That is, the DC voltage at point A should be less than 500 V. When modifying the voltage division according to different power amplifiers, it is recommended to modify the resistance value of a. The cutoff frequency of the first-stage RC filtering and the secondstage RC filtering circuit is approximately 22KHz, and the formula for calculating the cutoff frequency is as follows:
Where R is the parallel value of Ra and Rc when calculating the cutoff frequency of the first-stage RC filter.
RK3308B provides an SDMMC interface controller that supports the SDMMC 3.0 protocol, as shown in the following Figure:
- The SDMMC controller is powered by a separate power domain
- SDMMC and UART2 functions are multiplexed together, with UART2 being the default debug port
- VCCIO_SDMMC is the IO power supply and requires an external 3.3V power supply (SD 2.0 mode) or a 3.3V/1.8V adjustable power supply (SD3.0 mode)

RK3308B has two USB 2.0 interfaces, as shown in the figure bel w. USB0 is the OTG interface, and USB1 is the HOST interface
When configuring the USB controller reference resistor R1400, please use 1% precision resistors, as it affects the USB amplitude and eye diagram quality.
The 1.0V/1.8V power supply of the controller needs to be connected in series with a 1 ohm resistor to improve surge and ESD capability.
To improve USB performance, the decoupling capacitors of the controller power supply should
be placed close to the corresponding pins, such as C1401 and C1402, near the main control
pins
The USB data lines (DP/DM) are defaulted to be connected in series with 2.2 ohm resistor. To
suppress electromagnetic radiation, it is recommended to reserve a common mode choke on
the signal lines and use either a resistor or a common mode choke, depending on the actual
situation during debugging.
RK3308B integrates a 100Mbps Ethernet MAC internally, which can be connected to different
Ethernet PHYs to achieve 100Mbps network functions. Please refer to the design documents of the PHY manufacturer for specific designs, and this guide will not go into too much detail. The working clock used by the PHY can be selected to be provided by an external crystal or by the MAC_CLK output of the RK3308B chip.

Reset: The MAC reset to the PHY is controlled by GPIO, or RC hardware reset circuit. It should be
noted that if using an RC hardware reset circuit, the power supply of PHY must be controllable.
Transmission of control and status information between the MAC layer and PHY is done via the
MDIO interface, which includes the clock MDC signal and the data MIDO sign l. It should be noted that the MDIO signal needs to be pulled up, as shown in the diagram below:
The RK3308B LCDC interface has an 18-bit data signal LCDC_D0~LCDC_D17, which can support RGB/MCU screens.
The corresponding LCDC signal connection relationship for using 18/24bit RGB screens and
8bit/16bit MCU screens is as follows:
RK3308B has 6 channels of SARADC with a power supply voltage of 1.8V and a sampling precision of 10 bits. The SARADC’s ADC_IN1 is used as the default function key input, and the input circuit is designed as shown in the following Figur s. The essential input value can be set by adjusting the voltage divider ratio, and it is recommended to have a minimum interval of 35 between any two key values.
ADC_IN1 also use the System upgrade button input, as shown in the first button of SARADC Button Sampling Circuit, which is the VOL+/Recovery button in regular system operation. It is only used as the Recovery mode during initial power- n. Specifically, with the firmware already burned Systemhe system, Systemhe system starts up; press and hold the VOL+/Recovery button to pull ADC_IN1 low, keeping it at a 0V level (not exceeding 100mV), and RK3308B will enter Rockusb firmware update mo e. When the PC recognizes the USB device, release the button to restore ADC_IN to a high level (1.8V) to perform the firmware update.
NOTE
The ADC_KEY_IN1 signal in the red box in Figure SARADC Button Sampling Circuit must be pulled up.
The RK3308B platform defaults to using UART2_M1 as the serial port for debugging, as shown in Figure 6.13-1.
UART2 is also connected to UART2_M0 through the internal IOMUX, as shown in Figure 6.13 2. UART2_M0 and UART2_M1 can only be used one at a time.
UART2_M1 is multiplexed with the SDMMC interface, so if the SDMMC interface is used on the product and a TF card is needed, UART2_M1 cannot be used. Therefore, it is recommended to reserve UART2_M0 for debugging in case the SDMMC interface function is used and switch to UART2_M0 for debugging through software modification, as shown in the design of Figure RK3308B UART_M1
GPIO Circuit description power supply pins in the GPIO power domain are as follows
| Power Domain | GPIO Type | Pin Name | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| VCCIO0 (PMUIO) | 1.8V/3.3V | VCCIO0 | Default 3.3V power for this domain (group of) GPIO. |
| VCCIO1 | 1.8V/3.3V | VCCIO1 | 1.8V or 3.3V power for this domain (group of) GPIO. |
| VCCIO2 | 1.8V/3.3V | VCCIO2 | 1.8V or 3.3V power for this domain (group of) GPIO. |
| VCCIO3 | 1.8V/3.3V | VCCIO3 | 1.8V or 3.3V power for this domain (group of) GPIO. |
| VCCIO4 | 1.8V/3.3V | VCCIO4 | 1.8V or 3.3V power for this domain (group of) GPIO. |
- In RK3308B, GPIO can be configured as 1.8V or 3.3V level depending on the actual application. The software must be configured accordingly based on the selected voltage level.
- All GPIOs in RK3308B support interrupt functions.
- The pull-up and pull-down status of RK3308B’s GPIOs can be configured and disabled after power- n. In the schematic package, those marked with “_d” are the default internal pull-downs after power-on, while those marked with “_u” are the default internal pull-ups after power-on, as shown in the Figure below.
The GPIO drive capability provides four adjustable levels of drive strength: 2mA, 4mA, 8mA,
and 12 A. The initial default drive strength for each GPIO type is different. Please refer to the

8 The methods of Coreboard Thermal Control
There is a generic thermal system driver framework in the Linux kernel that defines a number of temperature control strategies. The following three strategies are currently in common use:
- Power_allocator: Introduces proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control, dynamically allocates power to each module based on the current temperature and converts power to Frequency to achieve Frequency limiting based on temperature.
- Step_wise: Limits the Frequenof in steps based on the current temperature.
- User space: Does not limit Frequency.
The RK3328 chip has a T-sensor that detects the chip’s internal temperature and uses the Power_allocator strategy by default. The operating states are as follows:
- If the temperature exceeds the set temperature value:
· If the temperature trend is rising, the Frequency is gradually reduced.
· If the temperature trend is falling, the Frequency is gradually increased. - When the temperature falls to the set temperature value:
· If the temperature trend is increasing, the Frequency remains unchanged.
· If the temperature trend is falling, the Frequency is gradually increased. - Suppose the Frequency reaches its maximum and the temperature is still below the set valve. In that case, the CPU frequency is no longer under thermal control, and the CPU frequency becomes system load frequency modulation.
- If the chip is still overheating after the Frequency has been reduced (e.g., due to poor heat dissipation) and the temperature exceeds 95 degrees, the software will trigger a restart t. If the restart fails due to deadlock or other reasons and the chip exceeds 105 degrees, the otp_out inside the chip will trigger an immediate shutdown by the PMIC.
Note: The temperature trend is determined by comparing the previous and current temperaturesIf the device temperature is below the threshold, the temperature is sampled every l seconds; if the device temperature exceeds the threshold, the temperature is sampled every 20ms, and the Frequency is limited.
The RK3328 SDK provides separate thermal control strategies for the CPU and G U.

9 Production Guide of DSOM-050 RK3308 SOM
Select modules that can be SMT or in-line packaged according to the customer’s PCB design. If the board is designed for SMT packaging, use SMT-packaged modules. If the board is designed for in line assembly, use in-line assembly y. Modules must be soldered within 24 hours of unpacking. If not, place them in a dry cabinet with a relative humidity of no more than 10% or re-pack them in a vacuum and record the exposure time (total exposure time must not exceed 168 hours).
Instruments or equipment required for SMT assembly：
- SMT Mounter
- SPI
- Reflow soldering
- Oven temperature tester
- AOI
Instruments or equipment required for baking:
- Cabinet ovens
- Antistatic high-temperature trays
- Antistatic and high-temperature gloves
Moisture-proof bags must be stored at a temperature <40°C and humidity <90%H. Dry-packed products have a shelf life of 12 months from the date of sealing of the package—sealed packaging with a humidity indicator card.
The vacuum bag is found to be broken before unpacking.
After unpacking, the bag is found to be without a humidity indicator card.
The humidity indicator card reads 10% or more after unpacking, and the color ring turns pink.
Total exposure time after unpacking exceeds 168 hours.
More than 12 months from the date of the first sealed packaging.
Baking temperature: 60°C for reel packs, humidity less than or equal to 5% RH; 125°C for tray packs, humidity less than or equal to 5% RH (high-temperature-resistant trays, not blister packs for tow trays).
Baking time: 48 hours for reel packaging; 12 hours for pallet packaging.
Alarm temperature setting: 65°C for reel packs; 135°C for pallet packs.
After cooling to below 36°C under natural conditions, production can be carried out.
If the exposure time after baking is greater than 168 hours and not used up, bake again.
If the exposure time is more than 168 hours without baking, it is not recommended to use the reflow soldering process to solder this batch of modules. The modules are class 3 moisture-sensitive devices and may become damp when the exposure time exceeds d.
This may lead to device failure or poor soldering when high-temperature soldering is carried out.
Please protect the module from electrostatic discharge (ESD) during the entire production process.
To ensure product qualification rates, it is recommended to use SPI and AOI test equipment to monitor solder paste printing and placement quality.
Please follow the reflow profile for SMT placement with a peak temperature of 245C. The reflow temperature profile is shown below using the SAC305 alloy solder paste.
