ORDERING INFORMATION

CDB42438

Evaluation Board

Description

The CDB42438 evaluation board is an excellent means
for evaluating the CS42438 CODEC. Evaluation re-
quires an analog/digital signal source and analyzer, and
power supplies. Optionally, a Windows

®

PC compatible

computer may be used to evaluate the CS42438 in soft-
ware mode.

System timing can be provided by the CS8416, or by a
DSP I/O stake header with a DSP connected. System
timing for TDM mode is provided by an FPGA using
clocks derived from the CS8416 or DSP I/O header.

RCA phono jacks are provided for the CS42438 analog
inputs and outputs. Digital data I/O is available via RCA
phono or optical connectors to the CS8416 and CS8406.
6 pre-defined board setup options are selectable using a
6-position DIP switch.

The Windows

®

software provides a GUI to make config-

uration of the CDB42438 easy. The software
communicates through the PC’s serial port to configure
the control port registers so that all features of the
CS42438 can be evaluated. The evaluation board may
also be configured to accept external timing and data
signals for operation in a user application during system
development.
