Description
The CDB43L21 evaluation board is an excellent means
for evaluating the CS43L21 DAC. Evaluation requires a
digital signal source, analog analyzer, and power sup-
plies. Optionally, a Windows
PC-compatible computer
may be used to evaluate the CS43L21 in Software
Mode.
System timing can be provided by the CS8415, by the
CS43L21 with supplied master clock, or by an I/O stake
header with a DSP connected.
RCA phono jacks are provided for the CS43L21 analog
outputs. 1/8th inch jacks are also available for head-
phone output. Digital data input is available via RCA
phono or optical connectors to the CS8415.
The Windows software provides a Graphical User Inter-
face (GUI) to make configuration of the CDB43L21
easy. The software communicates through the PC’s se-
rial port/USB to configure the control port registers so
that all the features of the CS43L21 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.
