Hardware
Power Supply
The CDB6403 requires +5V DC power to oper-
ate. Two terminal blocks provide power to the
evaluation board. One powers the analog side of
the board and the other powers the digital side.
Note that the digital power for the CS6403 itself
is derived from the analog power supply through
a 2
resistor. Figure 1 shows the power supply
circuitry in greater detail.
Near-End Analog Interface
SPKROUT is a screw terminal connector which
allows you to connect directly to an 8
speaker.
J14 and J15 provide the ability to access the
SPKROUT signals before they get to the connec-
tor. These allow the system evaluator to
implement their own speaker driver in the patch
area and connect it to the SPKROUT connector.
The MICIN connector is a 1/8" stereo jack.
Only the left channel is connected since micro-
phones are usually monophonic. Note that the
MICIN connector provides phantom power by
default. You may want to use the patch area to
provide an alternative connector.
Microphone Circuitry
A MC33078 dual op-amp performs two neces-
sary functions: provide a clean phantom power
supply, and provide additional input gain. Fig-
ure 2 shows how this circuitry is implemented.
Phantom power is provided via pin 7 of the
MC33078 through a resistor. The input voltage
for this non-inverting amplifier is VCM which is
a stable 1 V reference produced by the CS6403.
The amplifier provides a 2.3x gain to produce a
stable 2.3VDC output for phantom power.
Additional gain is provided by the other half of
the MC33078. The configuration is a differential
amplifier with the swing biased around VCM
(1VDC).
Note that the default gain of the differential am-
plifier is 6dB. In order to change the gain,
change R105, R104, and C101. It is important
to make sure R104 and R105 are the same value,
and that R101
×
C100 is approximately equal to
(R106+R104)
×
C101. These conditions will en-
sure good common mode rejection.
