General Description
The CDB5374 board is used to evaluate the functionality
and performance of the Cirrus Logic multichannel ma-
rine seismic chip set. Data sheets for the CS5374,
CS5376A, and CS4373A devices should be consulted
when using the CDB5374 evaluation board.
Screw terminals connect external differential hydro-
phone sensors to the analog inputs of the measurement
channels. An on-board test DAC creates precision differ-
ential analog signals for in-circuit performance testing
without an external signal source.
The evaluation board 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 software controls register and coefficient initial-
ization and performs time domain, histogram, and FFT
frequency analysis on captured data.
