Section 1

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the AT73C246-EK1. It is designed to give designers a quick start to 
evaluate the power management and audio capability of the AT73C246 and for prototyping and testing 
of new designs.

1.1

Scope

This document describes the AT73C246-EK1. This board is designed to allow an easy evaluation of the 
products using demonstration software. 

To increase its capabilities for demonstration, this standalone board has two serial interfaces (TWI and 
I²S via a dedicated connector), Manual Startup/Reset Control, Input/Audio Connectors, 4 x ADC Inputs, 
RTC and Output Supply Voltages Terminals.

This user guide acts as a general getting started guide as well as a complete technical reference for 
advanced users.

This document refers the AT73C246 datasheet.
