Audio
A National Semiconductor LM4549 AC’97 audio CODEC is used to support the audio
features of the VIPER. Audio inputs supported by the LM4549 are stereo line in and a
mono microphone input.
The LM4549 provides a stereo line out that can also be amplified by a National
Semiconductor LM4880 250mW per channel power amplifier, suitable for driving an 8
Ω
load. The LM4549 AC’97 codec may be turned off if it is not required. See the section
, for details.
Connection to the VIPER audio features is via header PL6. See the table below for pin
assignments and the section
, for connector and
mating connector details.
