General Description

The CRD5378 board is a compact reference design for
the Cirrus Logic single-channel seismic chip set. Data
sheets for the CS3302A, CS5373A, and CS5378 devic-
es should be consulted when using the CRD5378
reference design.

Pin headers connect an external differential sensor to
the analog inputs of the measurement channel. An on-
board test DAC creates precision differential analog sig-
nals for in-circuit performance testing without an external
signal source.

The reference design includes an 8051-type microcon-
troller with hardware SPI™ and USB serial interfaces.
The microcontroller communicates with the digital filter
via SPI and with the PC evaluation software via USB.
The PC evaluation software controls register and coeffi-
cient initialization and performs time domain, histogram,
and FFT frequency analysis on captured data.

The CRD5378 board features a special breakout con-
nector used to detach the acquisition and telemetry
sections for remote sensor applications.
