Description
Using the CDB8422 evaluation board is an ideal way to
evaluate the CS8422. Use of the board requires a digital
signal source, an analyzer, and a power supply. A Win-
dows
PC-compatible computer is also required if using
software mode to configure the CDB8422.
S/PDIF and AES3/EBU input connections are made via
RCA phono, optical, or XLR connectors to the CS8422.
S/PDIF output connections are made via RCA phono or
optical connectors from the CS8406 (S/PDIF Tx). Sys-
tem timing can be provided by a S/PDIF or AES3/EBU
input signal, by the CS8422 with supplied master clock,
or by an I/O stake header with a DSP connected.
The provided Windows-based software GUI makes
configuring the CDB8422 easy. The software communi-
cates through the PC’s USB port to configure the board
so that all features of the CS8422 can be evaluated.
The board may also be configured without a PC con-
nection by using hardware switches; however, not all
configurations of the CDB8422 are possible in hard-
ware mode.
