DA7212 User Guide – Rev1.2
Summary
This document provides some useful information to the user about the EVB
and the GUI to allow testing and evaluation of the DA7212 Ultra Low Power
Codec.
The hardware solution is based upon two PCBs:
-
“EVALUATION MOTHERBOARD 170-03-A”
-
“CUSTOMER REFERENCE BOARD 169-02-A” (DA7212 mini board)
The GUI, called
Power Commander™, requires a PC operating Windows
2000/XP/Vista/Windows 7 with a USB1.1 or USB2 interface.
To run Power Commander™ under Windows Vista, set the default installation
location
to „C:\Dialog Semiconductor\‟.
Note that Dialog recommends connecting the EVB to a 500 mA capable USB
port as we cannot guarantee that a USB hub (set to 100 mA) is sufficient to
operate it correctly.
See the section on Power Supplies below.
The GUI allows the user to: (i) configure the DA7212 using one of the several
pre-loaded initialisation files (i.e. start-up sequences) available; (ii) write and
read operations to all control registers; and (iii) monitor of device status.
