Jumper Controls
The following jumpers are provided onboard for configuration controls:
•JP001: Set Interface of Digital Signal from DIR to DAC (the device under test [DUT])
The digital signal generated by the digital interface receiver (DIR) is input to this jumper. For each
shorted pin, the corresponding digital signal is applied to the PCM1681. All signals except for BCK and
BCK [L/J] must be shorted for normal operation using the DIR; for BCK and BCK [L/J], one or the other
must be shorted according to the data format selection of the DIR. Figure 1-2 shows jumper JP001.

Many of the components on the DEM-DAI1681 are susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharge
(ESD). Customers are advised to observe proper ESD handling precautions when unpacking and handling
the EVM, including the use of a grounded wrist strap at an approved ESD workstation.
CAUTION
Failure to observe ESD handling procedures may result in damage to EVM
components.

Overview
Use the demonstration software on a personal computer (PC) or lab PC that meets the following
requirements:
®
• Equipped with Microsoft
Windows® operating system (Windows XP or earlier)
• Available printer port
• CD-ROM drive
Installation
First, connect the PC printer port to CN003 on the DEM-DAI1681 using a standard printer cable.
Next, install the demonstration software. The software is distributed on a CD-ROM that is shipped with the
DEM-DAI1681. The software is also available for download from the DEM-DAI1681 product folder
www.ti.com.
To install the software on the PC, first create a new folder on your hard disk drive with an appropriate
name (such as DEM1681). Next, load the CD-ROM into the PC, and navigate to the DEM1681 folder on
the CD-ROM. Copy all the files in the DEM1681 directory to the new folder on the PC.
Open the configuration setting file named dem1608.ini using a text editor, such as Notepad or WordPad.
When the file is open, search for the following command line:
PCMIFADR = &h378
The address &h378 indicates the printer port address that the demonstration software uses to
communicate with the DEM-DAI1681. This address must be set to &h378, &h278, or &h3BC. Most PCs
use &h378 as the default printer port address. If your printer port is not located at &h378, edit the address
to correspond with the PC printer port address.

Using the Demonstration Software
Open the working directory you created on the PC (see the Installation section). Double-click on the
application file named dem1608.exe. A window appears on your desktop screen, as shown in Figure 2-1.
There are two menu selections (Execute and Window) in the menu bar near the top of the window.
Figure 2-1. Demonstration Software Window
The Execute menu includes three selections:
• Initialize instructs the program to write almost of the PCM1681 internal registers with the default values
• Reset instructs the program to rewrite the PCM1681 internal registers with the data currently selected
in the application window
This window and function is not applicable on the PCM1681:
•Exit closes the application
The Window menu includes five options:
• Attenuation control (see Figure 2-2): enables users to control PCM1681 digital attenuation level by
changing the slider position for each channel.
• Operation control (see Figure 2-3): allows users to control mute on/off and DAC operation
enable/disable by channel.
• Function control (see Figure 2-4): controls various programmable functions, such as Interface formats,
oversampling mode, DAC output phase, de-emphasis function/frequency, and so forth. Some functions
are not available for the PCM1681; see Table 2-1 for details.
These windows and functions are not applicable on the PCM1681:

Table 2-1 summarizes the various functions of the DEM-DAI1681 and the default settings for each
function. Note that the software is also designed to control the DEM-DAI1608 as well as the
DEM-DAI1681; therefore, there are several inconsistencies between the demonstration software and the

This evaluation board/kit is intended for use for ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATION, OR EVALUATION PURPOSES ONLY and is not considered by TI to be a finished end-product fit for general consumer use. Persons handling the product(s) must have
electronics training and observe good engineering practice standards. As such, the goods being provided are not intended to be complete
in terms of required design-, marketing-, and/or manufacturing-related protective considerations, including product safety and environmental
measures typically found in end products that incorporate such semiconductor components or circuit boards. This evaluation board/kit does
not fall within the scope of the European Union directives regarding electromagnetic compatibility, restricted substances (RoHS), recycling
(WEEE), FCC, CE or UL, and therefore may not meet the technical requirements of these directives or other related directives.
Should this evaluation board/kit not meet the specifications indicated in the User’s Guide, the board/kit may be returned within 30 days from
the date of delivery for a full refund. THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS THE EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY MADE BY SELLER TO BUYER
AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
The user assumes all responsibility and liability for proper and safe handling of the goods. Further, the user indemnifies TI from all claims
arising from the handling or use of the goods. Due to the open construction of the product, it is the user’s responsibility to take any and all
appropriate precautions with regard to electrostatic discharge.
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OF THE INDEMNITY SET FORTH ABOVE, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY
INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
TI currently deals with a variety of customers for products, and therefore our arrangement with the user is not exclusive.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance, customer product design, software performance, or infringement of patents or
services described herein.
Please read the User’s Guide and, specifically, the Warnings and Restrictions notice in the User’s Guide prior to handling the product. This
notice contains important safety information about temperatures and voltages. For additional information on TI’s environmental and/or
safety programs, please contact the TI application engineer or visit www.ti.com/esh

No license is granted under any patent right or other intellectual property right of TI covering or relating to any machine, process, or
combination in which such TI products or services might be or are used.
FCC Warning
This evaluation board/kit is intended for use for ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATION, OR EVALUATION PURPOSES
ONLY and is not considered by TI to be a finished end-product fit for general consumer use. It generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and has not been tested for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to part 15 of FCC rules, which are
designed to provide reasonable protection against radio frequency interference. Operation of this equipment in other environments may
cause interference with radio communications, in which case the user at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures may
be required to correct this interference.
EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS
It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of –2.0 V to +4.0 V and the output voltage range of –4.0 V to +4.0 V.
Exceeding the specified input range may cause unexpected operation and/or irreversible damage to the EVM. If there are questions
concerning the input range, please contact a TI field representative prior to connecting the input power.
Applying loads outside of the specified output range may result in unintended operation and/or possible permanent damage to the EVM.
Please consult the EVM User's Guide prior to connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load specification,
please contact a TI field representative.
During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than +60°C. The EVM is designed to operate
properly with certain components above +60°C as long as the input and output ranges are maintained. These components include but are
not limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors. These types of devices can be identified
using the EVM schematic located in the EVM User's Guide. When placing measurement probes near these devices during operation,
please be aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch.
