This document describes APWLink™ which has been designed as a USB interface board to
control ST Sound Terminal
user manual UM1545, “Using the Audio Processor Workbench (APWorkbench)”.
The orderable part number for APWLink™ is STEVAL-CCA035V1.
In addition to providing control signals to the external Sound Terminal® demonstration
board, analog/digital audio inputs are also provided from APWLink™.
The system connections are shown below in the following figure.

2 Configuration
2.1 Power supply
APWLink™ is directly powered by a USB cable (Type B). No external power supply is
needed.
Note that this power supply is NOT for the power bridge supply on the Sound Terminal
demonstration board. Please refer to the application note of each specific Sound Terminal
demonstration board.
2.2 3.3 V digital power output to Sound Terminal® demonstration
board
Jumper J12 is used for the selection of the external Sound Terminal® demonstration board
digital power supply. When J12 is closed, 3.3 VDC is provided to the external Sound
Te r mi n al
has its own 3.3 V digital power supply, J12 has to be left open to avoid any current loop.

2.3 Connection to Sound Terminal® demonstration board
APWLink™ is simply connected to the Sound Terminal® demonstration board through J10,
an on-board 16-pin female 8x2 2.54 mm connector as shown below.

2.4 LEDs
APWLink™ provides the following three LEDs:
●D1: power supply
–ON when USB power is supplied
●D2: communication wrong
–ON when communication between PC and APWLink™ is wrong
●Digital audio input error
–ON when the digital input signal is not validated or no digital signal is input
2.5 Analog input
An analog signal (can be DC coupled) can be input from J9 (3.5 mm phone jack). There is
an on-board ADC (ST part number: STA529Q) to convert the analog signal to a digital I
format signal and feed it to the external Sound Terminal
®
demonstration board. To enable
2
S
the on-board STA529Q ADC, the following actions should be taken within APWorkbench™
as shown in the screenshots below.

2.6 External I2S input
The external I2S signal can be input to APWLink™ through J15 directly. For example, the
external I
2
S signal can come from an external ADC if the on-board ADC is bypassed. J5
includes the analog signals from J9 (stereo analog input jack), plus 3.3 VDC power supply,
which can be fed to the external ADC. The I

2.7 Serial digital audio input

S from the external ADC can be fed into
Electrical and optical inputs are supported on-board to receive serial digital audio signals. A
jumper (JP2) is used to select either the electrical or optical signal. The input signal is then
converted to an I
2
S format by the on-board decoder (ST part number: STA120D) and fed to
the external Sound Terminal™ demonstration board.
Serial digital formats supported by the STA120D:
●S/PDIF
●AES/EBU
●IEC 958
●EIAJ CP-340/1201
The proper jumper setting is described in Section 2.8: Jumper configuration.
