The CDB42L56 evaluation platform provides analog and digital interfaces to the CS42L56 and allows for external
DSP and I²C
an external +5 V supply. On-board voltage regulators provide power to the digital and analog cores of the CS42L56.
The CDB42L56 is configured using Cirrus Logic’s Windows-compatible FlexGUI software to read/write to device
registers.
This section describes the various components on the CDB42L56 and how they are used with the CS42L56. Section
2 on page 8 is a simplified quick connect guide provided for user convenience and may be used to quickly configure
the CS42L56. Section 3 on page 9 describes some of the configurations available for transmitting and receiving audio signals. Section 4 on page 11 provides software configuration details. Section 5 on page 18 provides a descrip-
tion of all stake headers and connectors, including the default factory settings of all jumpers. Section 6 on page 21
provides typical performance plots. The CDB42L56 schematic and layout set is shown in Figures 35 through 44.
1.1Control Port and Board Configuration
interconnects to the board. On-board peripherals are powered either from the USB connection or from
The CDB42L56 evaluation board must be programmed using the Windows compatible software (Cirrus Logic FlexGUI) provided. This software allows the user to program the registers of all the programmable components on the board using an I²C interface.
The GUI interfaces with an on-board micro controller through either the USB or the serial port connector.
For a detailed explanation on software controls, refer to Section 4 on page 11.
Alternatively, the I²C interface to the CS42L56 can be directly accessed through an I/O header (J109) to
accept external timing and signals in a user application during system development.
1.2Power
Power is supplied to the evaluation board through either the +5.0 V test points or the VBUS supply from the
USB. NOTE: The minimum current required for board operation is approximately 300 mA. It may therefore
be necessary to connect the CDB42L56 directly to the USB port on the PC as opposed to a hub or keyboard
port where the current might be limited.
Jumpers connect the CS42L56’s supplies to a low dropout regulated voltage of +1.8 V, +2.5 V or +3.3 V for
VL and +1.8 V or +2.5 V for VLDO, VA and VCP. A selection for a 1.8 V supply from a buck regulator is also
available, providing a more efficient means of evaluating the CS42L56’s performance when powered from
batteries (3 AAA battery connectors are available on the bottom side of the CDB).
For current measurement purposes only, a 1 ohm series resistor is connected to each supply. The current
is easily calculated by measuring the voltage drop across this resistor. NOTE: The stake headers connected
in parallel with these resistors must be shunted with the supplied jumper during normal operation.
WARNING: Please refer to the CS42L56 data sheet for allowable voltage levels.
1.3Digital Input
1.3.1CS8416 S/PDIF Digital Audio Receiver

provide configuration examples and software details.
1.3.1.1CS8421 Sample Rate Converter (Tx SRC to CS42L56)
The CS8421 Tx SRC receives PCM digital audio data from either the CS8416 S/PDIF receiver or the AP
PSIA header and synchronizes this data with the CS42L56, regardless of the CS42L56’s master and audio clocks.
A complete description of the CS8421 (Figure 36 on page 29) and a discussion of the digital audio interface can be found in the CS8421 data sheet.
Configuration and routing selections for the CS8421 are made using controls in the “Board Configuration”
tab of the Cirrus FlexGUI software. Section 3. “Configuration Options” on page 9 and Section 4. “Software
Mode Control” on page 11 provide configuration examples and software details.
1.4Digital Output
1.4.1CS8406 S/PDIF Digital Audio Transmitter
The CS8406 converts the PCM data generated from the CS42L56 (through the “Receive” (Rx) SRC) to
the standard S/PDIF data stream.
CDB42L56
A complete description of the CS8406 (Figure 36 on page 29) and a discussion of the digital audio interface can be found in the CS8406 data sheet.

software. Section 3. “Configuration Options” on page 9 and Section 4. “Software Mode Control” on
page 11 provide configuration examples and software details.
1.4.2CS8421 Sample Rate Converter (Rx SRC from CS42L56)
The CS8421 Rx SRC receives PCM digital audio data from the CS42L56 and synchronizes this data with
either the CS8406 S/PDIF transmitter or the AP PSIA headers, regardless of the CS42L56’s master and
audio clocks.
A complete description of the CS8421 (Figure 36 on page 29) and a discussion of the digital audio interface can be found in the CS8421 data sheet.
Configuration and routing selections for the CS8421 are made using controls in the “Board Configuration”
tab of the Cirrus FlexGUI software.Section 3. “Configuration Options” on page 9 and Section 4. “Software
Mode Control” on page 11 provide configuration examples and software details.
1.5FPGA
The FPGA controls the digital signal routing between the CS42L56, CS8406, CS8416, CS8421 (Tx SRC
and Rx SRC), PLL and the I/O stake header. It also provides a divider for the system master clock from an
on-board oscillator to the required devices. Figures 2 and 3 in Section 3 show how the FPGA can route
clocks and data in order to allow the user to test the CS42L56 in various setups.
Configuration and routing selections for the FPGA are made using controls in the “Board Configuration” tab
of the Cirrus FlexGUI software. Section 4 on page 11 provides software configuration details.
DS851DB15
1.6Oscillator
The socketed on-board oscillator (Y1) can be selected as the system master clock source by using the selections on the “Board Configuration” tab of the Cirrus FlexGUI. Section 4 on page 11 provides software
configuration details.
The oscillator is mounted in pin sockets, allowing easy removal or replacement. The device footprint on the
board will accommodate half-can or full-can sized oscillators.
1.7PLL
An on-board PLL is used with the FPGA to generate the serial port sub-clocks for the CS42L56’s serial port
when the CS42L56 is set to slave mode. The sub-clocks’ frequencies are selected on the “Board Configuration” tab of the Cirrus FlexGUI. Section 4 on page 11 provides software configuration details.
1.8I/O Stake Headers
Headers J104 and J109 (Figure 35 on page 28) provide unbuffered bidirectional access to the CS42L56
serial port and control port, respectively. For regular operation, the left two pins on all rows should be shunted to allow the CS42L56 to receive serial and control port data and clocks from the on-board FPGA.
Alternatively, the stake headers provide access to the CS42L56 from external systems simply by removing
all the shunt jumpers from the “USB” and “CDB I/O” positions. The user may then connect a ribbon cable
connector to the “Ext. Sys. Connect” pins for external control of board functions. A single row of “GND” pins
is provided to maintain signal ground integrity. Two unpopulated pull-up resistors are also available should
the user choose to use the CDB42L56 logic supply (VL) externally.
CDB42L56
If an external system is used to interface with the CS42L56 through headers J104 and J109, the digital I/O
logic voltage levels must be selected cautiously since the lines between the headers and the device are not
buffered. Please refer to the CS42L56 product data sheet for a detailed explanation on digital I/O interface
specifications. Selections are made using the “Board Configuration” tab of the Cirrus FlexGUI software.
Section 4 on page 11 provides software configuration details.
1.9CS42L56 Audio Codec
A complete description of the CS42L56 (U3 - Figure 35 on page 28) can be found in the CS42L56 product
data sheet.
The CS42L56 is configured using the Cirrus Logic Windows compatible software FlexGUI. The device configuration registers are directly accessible via the “Register Maps” tab of the Cirrus FlexGUI software. This
tab provides low-level control of each bit. For easier configuration, additional tabs provide high-level control.
Section 4 on page 11 provides software configuration details.
1.10Analog Inputs
The analog input circuitry on the CDB42L56 has been designed to allow for testing of the CS42L56 in all its
possible analog input configurations. Line or microphone level analog input signals can be provided to the
analog inputs on the CS42L56 through RCA or microphone input jacks (Figure 35 on page 28). Stake header J6 allows the user to select (with jumpers installed) the CS42L56 as the microphone bias source for each
microphone input (CAUTION: Only 2 jumpers may be installed at a time).
Headers J19 and J20 are used to select the desired input for pins AIN3A/AIN1REF and AIN3B/AIN2REF
on the CS42L56. These headers can be used to select between either a single-ended or a pseudo-differential analog input setup. Table 1 provides jumper and resistor settings for the various analog input configurations allowed on the CS42L56. The shaded rows in the table indicate the most commonly used
configurations and do not require any extra resistor modifications.

the CDB42L56 board ground or the signal ground reference from the external system which the
CDB42L56 receives through the shield of the analog input cable.
2. Resistor modifications are only required if single-ended and pseudo-differential input configurations
need to be used simultaneously on the “A” and “B” inputs of the same analog input channel.
3. Resistor population settings for resistors not shown in the table should be the same as factory defaults.
Figure 35 on page 28 illustrates how the analog inputs are connected and routed. Table 3 on page 19 de-
tails the jumper selections.
1.11Analog Outputs
The CS42L56 analog outputs can be monitored on RCA jacks J15 and J17 for line and J37 and J38 for
headphone outputs. Additionally, the CS42L56 headphone outputs can also be monitored on stereo headphone jack J1 which also allows the user to test the CS42L56’s headphone detect functionality. The
CDB42L56 on-board circuitry drives the headphone detect pin low when a headphone is inserted in J1.
Headers J12 and J4 can be used to select optional 16 or 32 resistive loads for headphone outputs.
Headers J2 and J3 give users the option of receiving filtered or unfiltered outputs on the RCA headphone
output jacks.
Figure 35 on page 28 illustrates how the analog outputs are connected and routed. Table 3 on page 19 pro-
vides details on jumper selections for filtered or unfiltered outputs.

6. PERFORMANCE PLOTS
Test conditions (unless otherwise specified): TA= 25°C; VA=VCP=VLDO=VL=1.8 V; input test signal is a full-scale
997 Hz sine wave; dB values relative to full-scale output; measurement bandwidth 20 Hz to 20 kHz (un-weighted);
Sample Frequency = 48 kHz; +2 dB analog gain for Line Output path; -4 dB analog gain for Headphone Output path;
Headphone test load: R
= 16 ; no LPF option for Headphone Output path.
L
Note: The total harmonic distortion + noise (THD+N) performance of the ADC in the CS42L56 is determined by
the value of the capacitor on the FILT+ pin. Larger capacitor values yield significant improvement in THD+N
at low frequencies. Fig. 10 shows the THD+N vs. frequency performance measured with several FILT+ capacitor values.
