The CDB5330A/31A evaluation board is an excellent
means for quickly evaluating the CS5330A/31A 18-bit,
stereo A/D converter. Evaluation requires a digital
signal processor, a low distortion analog signal
source and a power supply. Analog inputs are provided via RCA connectors for both channels.
Also included is a CS8402A digital audio interface
transmitter which generates AES/EBU, S/PDIF, and
EIAJ-340 compatible audio data. The digital audio data
is available via RCA phono, and optical connectors.
The evaluation board may also be configured to accept
external timing signals for operation in a user application during system development.

The CDB5330A/31A evaluation board is an excellent means of quickly evaluating the
CS5330A/31A. The CS8402A digital audio interface transmitter provides an easy interface to
digital audio signal processors, including the majority of digital audio test equipment. The
evaluation board has been designed to accept an
analog input, and provide a digital output that is
either optical or coax. The evaluation board also
allows the user to supply clocks and data
through a 10-pin header for system development.
The CDB5330A/31A schematic has been partitioned into 5 schematics shown in Figures 2
through 6. Each partitioned schematic is represented in the system diagram shown in Figure 1.
Notice that the the system diagram also includes
the interconnections between the partitioned
schematics.
CS5330A/31A Analog to Digital Converter
A description of the CS5330A/31A is included
in the CS5330A/31A data sheet.
CS8402A Data Format
The CS8402A data format can be set with jumpers M0, M1, and M2. These formats are shown
in the CS8402A datasheet found in the 1994
Crystal Semiconductor Audio Data Book. The
format selected must be compatible with the corresponding data format of the CS5330A/31A
shown in Figures 2 and 3 of the CS5330A/31A
datasheet. The default settings for M0-M2 on the
evaluation board are given in Tables 2 and 3.
The compatible data formats for the CS8402A
and CS5330A/31A are:
CS8402A format 1;CS5330A
CS8402A format 4;CS5331A
Analog input buffer
The recommended input filter required for the
CS5330A/31A has been combined with a unity
gain input buffer (see Figure 2). The analog input filter uses a Motorola MC33202 single
supply, dual op-amp.
Power Supply Circuitry
CS8402A Digital Audio Interface
Power is supplied to the evaluation board by two
Figure 4 shows the CS8402A circuitry which
implements AES/EBU, S/PDIF and EIAJ CP340 digital audio interface standards. The
CS8402A circuit is hardware configured for consumer mode. SW2 provides 8 DIP switches to
binding posts (GND, +5V), Figure 6. The +5V
input supplies power to the +5 Volt digital circuitry (VD+), and the +5V analog circuitry
(VA+). The analog supply is derived from the
+5V binding post through a ferrite bead.

Input/Output for Clocks and Data
sheet for detailed information on the operation of
the CS8402A and the digital audio standards.
The operation of the CS8402A and a discussion
of the digital audio interface are included in the
1994 Crystal Semiconductor Audio Data Book.
The evaluation board has been designed to allow
the interface to external systems via the 10-pin
CLOCK I/O header, HDR2. This header allows
the evaluation board to accept externally generated clocks. The schematic for the clock/data I/O
is shown in Figure 5. The 74HC243 transceiver
functions as an I/O buffer where the MASTER/SLAVE jumper determines if the
transceiver operates as a trans mitter or receiver.
18 DS138DB2
CDB5330A / CDB5331A
The transceiver operates as a tr ansmitter with the
MASTER/SLAVE jumper in the MAST ER position. LRCK, SDATA, and SCLK from the
CS5330A/31A will be available on HDR2.
HDR22 must be in the 0 position and HDR23
must be in the 1 position for MCLK to be an
output and to avoid bus contention on MCLK.
The transceiver operates as a receiver with the
MASTER/SLAVE jumper in the SLAVE position. LRCK and SCLK on HDR2 become inputs.
However, the recommended mode of operation is
to generate MCLK on the evaluation board with
HDR23 in the 0 position and HDR22 in the 1
position. These default settings allow MCLK to
be an output, with LRCK and SCLK as inputs.
MCLK is always an output from the evaluation
board.
Grounding and Power Supply Decoupling
The CS5330A/31A requires careful attention to
power supply and grounding arrangements to optimize performance. Figure 2 shows the
recommended power arrangements. The
CS5330A/31A is positioned over the analog
ground plane, near the digital/analog ground
plane split, to minimize the distance that the
clocks travel. The series resistors are present on
the clock lines to reduce the effects of transient
currents when driving a capacitive load in master
mode, and reduce clock overshoot when applying external clocks to the CS5330A/31A in slave
mode.
This layout technique is used to minimize digital
noise and to insure proper power supply matching/sequencing. The decoupling capacitors are
located as close to the CS5330A/31A as possible. Extensive use of ground plane fill on both
the analog and digital sections of the evaluation
board yield large reductions in radiated noise effects.
