Spectrum Digital, Inc 2.1.4 UART Interface The internal UART0 on the DM355 device is driven to connector P4. The UART’s interface is routed to the RS-232 line drivers prior to being brought out to a DB-9 connector, P4. 2.1.5 USB Interface The DM355 incorporates an on chip USB II controller.
Page 20
Spectrum Digital, Inc 2.2.2 AIC33 Interface The EVM uses a Texas Instruments TLV320AIC33 stereo codec for input and output of audio signals. The codec samples analog signals on the microphone or line inputs and converts them into digital data so it can be processed by the DSP. When the DSP is finished with the data it uses the codec to convert the samples back into analog signals on the line output so the user can hear the output.
