PCM5122/42EVM-U
The PCM5122/42 families of ICs are advanced segment, high-performance, software-programmable
stereo digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The PCM512x family employs fixed-function audio processing,
while the PCM514x family employs miniDSP audio processing. These devices employ internal line drivers
together with an internal PLL and BCLK reference, so that a serial clock signal (SCK) can be derived. The
advanced segment architecture enables excellent dynamic performance and an improved tolerance to
clock jitter, and the 2.1-V
RMS
ground-centered outputs eliminate the need for output dc blocking capacitors.
The PCM5122/42EVM-U is designed to support the PCM5121, PCM5122, PCM5141 and PCM5142
DACs. The PCM5122/42EVM-U also employs the
USB controller and the
asynchronous sample rate converter.
This User’s Guide describes the operation of the PCM5122/42EVM-U and the Texas Instruments
CodecControl software. CodecControl provides a graphical user interface for supported TI audio codecs.
The software is compatible with Microsoft
