EVALUATION BOARD OVERVIEW
This user guide describes the design and setup of the evaluation
board for the ADAU1962A or the ADAU1966A. This document
uses ADAU196xA to refer to either the ADAU1962A or the
ADAU1966A. Since the ADAU1962A is a 12-channel part and
the ADAU1966A is a 16-channel part, DAC outputs 13 through
16 do not function on the ADAU1962A evaluation board. The
evaluation board must be connected to an external 12 V dc
power supply and ground. On-board regulators derive 5 V
and 3.3 V supplies for the ADAU196xA and peripherals.
The ADAU196xA can be controlled through either an I
2
C
or SPI interface. A small, external interface board, E VAL -
ADUSB2EBZ, also called USBi, connects to a PC USB port
and provides either I
2
C or SPI access to the evaluation board
through a ribbon cable.
A graphical user interface (GUI) program, the Automated
Register Window Builder, is provided for easy programming
of the chip in a Windows® PC environment. The evaluation
board allows demonstration and performance testing of most
ADAU196xA features, including high performance DAC
operation.
The board has an S/PDIF receiver with RCA and optical
connectors, as well as a discrete serial audio interface. Analog
outputs are accessible via eight stereo TRS mini jacks.
