DEFAULT SWITCH AND JUMPER SETTINGS
The J8, J10, J12, and J17 jumpers must be connected, and the J3
jumper must be set to the USB/EXT power setting. The MP pin
jumpers (J9) can be connected as desired to use the MP push-buttons
or switches. The microphone bias jumpers, J11 and J14, can be
inserted if microphone bias is needed on Input 0 and Input 1.
Switch S7 selects whether the board is to be powered up or if audio
is to be bypassed from input to output with the board powered
down. For normal operation, slide the switch to the left. S1 selects
whether the
is powered from 3.3 V or 1.8 V; the
default is 3.3 V. If powering the board via the USBi, ensure that the
switch on the bottom of the USBi board is set to the correct voltage
(1.8 V or 3.3 V). S2 controls self-boot operation. By default, S2
is slid to the right to disable self-boot operation.
POWERING UP THE BOARD
To power up the evaluation board, connect the ribbon cable of
the USBi to J1 (CONTROL PORT) of the
CONNECTING THE AUDIO CABLES
Connect a stereo audio source to J22 (AIN2/3). Connect head-
phones or powered speakers to J23 (STEREO OUTPUT). The
labels for J22 and J23 are only visible on the bottom of the board.
