Electrostatic Discharge Warning
Many of the components on the TAS3208EVM-LC are susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharge
(ESD). Customers are advised to observe proper ESD handling precautions when unpacking and handling
the EVM, including the use of a grounded wrist strap at an approved ESD workstation.
CAUTION
Failure to observe ESD handling procedures may result in damage to EVM
components.
Upon opening the TAS3208EVM-LC package, please check to make sure that the following items are
included:
•
One TAS3208EVM-LC board using one TAS3208PZP
•
One CD-ROM containing GDE software, application reports, user guides, schematics, board Gerber
files, and PC software tools
•
One USB-type A-to-mini cable.
Note:
If any of these items are missing, please contact the Texas Instruments Product Information
Center nearest you to inquire about a replacement.
The TAS3208EVM-LC is powered via the universal serial bus (USB) connection from the host PC. No
additional power supplies are needed to evaluate the device.
The TAS3208 is programmed and configured using Texas Instruments PurePath Studio. PurePath Studio
is composed of the graphical development environment (GDE), the integrated development environment
(IDE), and the component publisher.
•
The GDE permits the user to program TAS3208 using predefined signal processing components that
are placed and connected graphically in the GDE pallet. PurePath Studio runs on a Windows XP
computer.
•
The IDE is software development environment that permits the user to construct and test the code for
a new GDE component.
•
The component publisher is used to create the component, define the component’s control interface
and the ways in which the component can be used.
The PurePath Studio software is supplied on the TAS3208EVM-LC Software CD-ROM. The latest version
of the PurePath Studio is available on the Texas Instruments extranet for registered users.
There are two types of licenses:
•
Evaluation license – The evaluation license is available for users who are interested only in evaluating
the PurePath Studio Tool suite
•
Production license – The production license is available for users who are interested in product
development using the PurePath Studio tools. This is the software license that is needed to support the
EVM.
