  • Page 5 WM8766-EV1M WM8766 OPERATION HARDWARE MODE To operate the WM8766 in hardware mode, the jumper on link LNK7 (MODE) must short pins 1 and 2 together. The 3-pin links on the board (LNK1, 2, 4, 5, 6) then become the active source for changing the device functions.
  • Page 6: Software Control

    WM8766-EV1M SOFTWARE CONTROL To operate the WM8766 in SPI (3-wire) software mode, the jumper on link LNK7 (MODE) must short pins 2 and 3 together. The SPI interface then becomes active on device pins 11(ML/I2S), 12(MC/IWL) and 13(MD/DM). The serial interface on the board can be connected to a PC via the printer port or any other standard parallel port.
  • Page 7: Software Operation

    WM8766-EV1M SERIAL INTERFACE SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION SOFTWARE INSTALLATION There are 2 floppy disks supplied with this evaluation kit. To install the software: Insert disk 1 Select the ‘Start’ button on the Windows task bar and the ‘Run…’ option. Type “A:\setup” and then press OK.
  • Page 8: Writing To Registers

    ‘Reset Software Panel Settings’ button should also be pressed. Pressing this button does not write to the device, it only resets the panel settings to their default state. Left clicking on the Wolfson logo will open the PCs default web browser and go top the Wolfson Microelectronics website (‘www.wolfsonmicro.com’).
  • Page 9: Test Setup For Standard Dac Operation

    WM8766-EV1M TEST SETUP FOR STANDARD DAC OPERATION For the standard ‘DAC Setup’ the device is setup to receive data via the SPDIF_In to the DAC, after conversion the DAC outputs to VOUT1/2/3. Table 8 lists the required board settings to allow this signal path to become active in 24-bit, I S input data format.
  • Page 10: Dac Control

    WM8766-EV1M DAC CONTROL Figure 6 DAC Control The DAC Control panel is used to control the many DAC related features of the WM8766. Pressing the ‘DAC Submit’ button will cause the settings shown on this panel to be written to the WM8766. A full device register write is not sent.
  • Page 11: Dac Attenuation Control

    WM8766-EV1M DAC ATTENUATION CONTROL Figure 7 DAC Attenuation Control The DAC Attenuation Control panel is used to control both the digital DAC volume of the WM8766. The volume sliders update in ‘real’ time (i.e. the ‘DAC Attenuation Submit’ button does not have to be pressed to update the output volume level) but will only have an effect on the output if the UPDATEL/R bits are set.

    WM8766-EV1M APPENDIX EXTERNAL DSP CONNECTION TO THE WM8766-EV1B The WM8766-EV1B evaluation board has been designed to allow it to be easily connected to an external DSP platform with error free operation. The following information is provided to ease the connection process and ensure that all signals sent and received by the WM8766-EV1B are reliable and at the correct voltage levels.
  • Page 24 WM8766-EV1M DACDAT DACMCLK_IN Figure 20 Timing Connections from DSP Platform The digital inputs to the WM8766 have a CMOS threshold (i.e. Logic High (min) = DBVDDx0.7; Logic Low (max) = DBVDDx0.3). These are met directly by the level shift IC outputs.
