GETTING STARTED 

USBi AND 

SigmaStudio

 INSTALL 

To use USBi and 

SigmaStudio

-based GUI, follow these steps: 

1.

 

Download th

SigmaStudio

 software suitable for your PC 

from th

SigmaStudio

 page at 

www.analog.com/SigmaStudio

. 

2.

 

Open the downloaded .zip file. 

3.

 

For 64-bit operating systems, double click 

SigmaStudio-

Rel3.11-x64.exe

. For 32-bit operating systems, double-

click 

SigmaStudio-Rel3.11-x86.exe

4.

 

Follow the installation steps as prompted and install the 
USBi driver as the final step. 

5.

 

The 

SStudio.exe

 file is installed by default to the folder 

Program Files\Analog Devices\SigmaStudio3.11

.  

6.

 

Double click 

SStudio.exe

. If the window shown in Figure 3 

appears, the 

SigmaStudio

 software has been installed. 

Proceed to evaluation board startup. 

EVALUATION BOARD STARTUP 

To start up the evaluation board using single supply, follow 
these steps: 
1.

 

Ensure that the output filter is installed or 0 Ω links are in 
place to connect the output terminals to the IC. 

2.

 

Place a jumper between the upper two pins of J9 (REG_EN 
to PVDD) to enable the on-chip 1.8 V regulator. 
a.

 

In the bottom right corner, place a jumper across the 
bottom pins of J11, and open J4 (ADDR pull-down to 
GND) to select the device I

2

C address of 0x28, or 0x14 

if using the Aardvark adapter. 

3.

 

Select the digital audio source for the SDATAI, FSYNC, 
and BCLK pins of the 

SSM3515

. If using the SPDIF source, 

select the _INT signal paths on P12. If sourcing via the 
Audio Precision I

2

S/TDM output, select the _EXT signal 

paths on P12 and connect digital audio signals via the 
Audio Precision connection to P2. Note that P5 allows 
multiple evaluation boards to be daisy-chained to the same 
signal bus.  

4.

 

Insert jumpers across all three rows of H2 to establish 
direct connection of the digital audio signal lines to the 
inputs of the 

SSM3515

. For special use cases, to minimize 

stub length, remove the jumpers across H2 and source 
digital audio signals directly to the ports of H1. 

5.

 

If using the on-board SPDIF-to-I

2

S converter instead of 

the external digital audio port for Audio Precision, insert 
jumpers across JP1 and the bottom two terminals of P1 
(IOVDD to 1V8) to power the level translators for digital 
audio signals. 

6.

 

Connect a USBi or Total Phase Aardvark USB-to-I

2

C adapter 

to SK1. 

7.

 

Connect a suitable 4 Ω to 8 Ω speaker to the left and right 
banana jacks. 

8.

 

Connect a power supply to the PVDD and GND binding 
posts. Turn on the power supply.  

9.

 

If using the Total Phase Aardvark USB-to-I

2

C adapter, use 

Device Address 0x14 and write the appropriate I

2

commands to activate th

SSM3515

Setting SPWDN 

(Bit D0 of Register 0x00) to 0 activates the device. 

10.

 

If usin

SigmaStudio

, ensure that the USBi is connected to 

the USB port on the PC and that the 10-pin header is 
connected at SK1.
