Overview

The DA7218-EVAL evaluation board is designed to allow measurement and evaluation of the DA7218 ultra-low power stereo codec with a single-ended headphone driver. The board connects to the digital IO board for USB control and digital audio input/output via the digital audio interface. All analog audio codec functionalities are contained within the evaluation board. Additionally, it is supplied with a USB memory stick containing various documents and a graphical user interface (GUI) to allow users to control the DA7218 device. The GUI, called SmartCanvas™, uses a simple graphical interface, allowing the DA7218 to be controlled via a USB port of a PC. This evaluation board has several jumper links to enable users to change the system configuration and to allow them to make appropriate measurements. However, only a few jumper links are required to be altered for standard operations of the device.
