CDB4215
PDN and RESET
Power down, PDN, controls the PDN pin on the
codec. The line has an on-board pull-down resis-
tor thereby defining the default state as powered.
This pin only needs to be controlled if the power
down feature is used.
RESET controls the RESET pin on the codec
and is pulled up on the board. This defines the
default state as not reset. This pin only needs to
be controlled if the reset feature on the codec is
needed. Since the codec does require a reset at
power up, a power-up reset circuit is included on
the board. A reset switch is also included to reset
the device without having to remove the power
supply. The power-up reset plus switch are logi-
cally OR’ed with the RESET pin on header J14.
PIO Lines
The parallel input/output, PIO, lines are pulled
up on the evaluation board. If they are to be used
as inputs, they should be driven by open-collec-
tor gates since inadvertently setting the PIO bits
low in software will force the external lines low.
The PIO lines are available on header J14.
The PIO lines also go through a high-impedance
buffer and drive LED’s on the evaluation board.
When the LED is on, the corresponding bit is 1
or high. The LED’s provide a visual indication
that may be used to verify that the software is
writing the bits correctly.
CLOCKS
The CDB4215 can accommodate all clocking
modes supported by the CS4215. A CLKIN
BNC, as shown in Figure 5 allows the CLKIN
pin on the CS4215 to be used as the master
clock source. The two crystals listed in the
CS4215 data sheet are also provided and support
all the audio and multimedia standard sample
frequencies. The master clock is selected via a
CS4215 internal register from control mode.
The CLKOUT BNC is a buffered version of the
CLKOUT pin on the CS4215. CLKOUT is al-
ways 256 times the programmed sample
frequency in data mode. CLKOUT is held low in
control mode.
LAYOUT ISSUES
Figure 6 contains the silk screen, Figure 7 con-
tains the top-side copper layer, and Figure 8
contains the bottom-side copper layer of the
CDB4215 evaluation board. These plots are in-
cluded to provide an example of how to layout a
PCB for the codec. Two of the more important
aspects are the position of the ground plane split,
which is next to the part - NOT UNDER IT, and
the ground plane fill between traces on both lay-
ers, which minimizes coupling of radiated
energy.
