Evaluation Board User Guide
board, EVAL-ADUSB2EBZ (also called USBi), connects to a PC
USB port and provides SPI access to the evaluation board
through a ribbon cable. A graphical user interface (GUI)
program is provided for easy programming of the chip in a
Microsoft® Windows® PC environment. The evaluation board
allows demonstration and performance testing of most AD1938
features, including four ADCs and eight DACs, as well as the
digital audio ports.
Additional analog circuitry (ADC input filters, DAC output
filter/buffer) and digital interfaces such as S/PDIF are provided
to ease product evaluation.
All analog audio interfaces are accessible with stereo audio,
