1 Audio-Mojo Application-Specific Development Board for Audio Applications using the QF1D512 April

2 Audio-Mojo SavFIRe TM Audio Reference Design Demonstrates equalization and crossover functionality 2 QF1D512s, stereo codec, uC/EE Use standalone, or, Plugs into QF1D512-DK Dev Kit Preconfigured for use as 2-channel EQ or 1 channel crossover Design/modify filters using Quickfilter Pro Software Verify filter response on DK Download to Audio-Mojo Use standalone with new settings Audio-Mojo Board Audio-Mojo mounted on QF1D512-DK

3 Audio Mojo Overview Demonstrate QF capability for audio As an equalizer As a crossover Proof of concept / reference design Schematics and software available Development Tool User can experiment with his own filter designs Can save his config to the board and then... Standalone operation User can implement in his system without dev kit

7 Configuration Example 2 Crossover Both channels fed with same signal HPF on Left channel, LPF on right channel Analog outputs become high frequency content (L) and low frequency content (R) Can also be combined with equalization Analog In Codec L-Ch R-Ch Left / HighRight / Low Analog Out High Low DK Monitor QF1D512 f f

8 Standalone Mode User provides power source uC loads QF1D512 SavFIRes on power up User can input analog data and monitor analog outputs Development Connect to Atmel programmer via topside header (J3) Use QF Pro to design and save Config data Import Configs to Dev Tool & download configs to uC Standalone Use

9 Monitor Mode Uses QF1D512 SavFIRes on Audio-Mojo board uC loads SavFIRes at power up with default settings User applies analog inputs and monitor analog outputs Display FFT of frequency response (Monitor mode) No filter thumbnails / Edit disabled Dev Kit Mode Uses QF1D512 SavFIRes on dev board QF Pro software can be used to modify filter responses Support “near real time” adjustment of filter parameters e.g. Graphic EQ User can apply analog inputs and monitor analog outputs Download configs to Audio-Mojo board for standalone use Use with Development Kit

10 Runs out of the box, no cables or other hardware to make Modify and see results of filter changes in “near real time” with no need for a new build each time View FFTs of actual end hardware performance, not just theoretical results Advantages of use with Dev Kit

11 Logarithmic Filter Response Option Graphic Filter Editor QF Pro Software Upgrades Simultaneous capture & display of two channels

12 Atmel programmer Export hex files from QF Pro for download to ATtiny QF Dev Kit Connect programming header to J4 Download configs directly to the ATtiny from the QF Pro software Note: Tiny memory is partitioned to simplify the task: Program memory (user need not alter!)

13 QF1D512 Applications Ideas

14 QF1D512 Host uC ADC QF1D512 Host uC ADC External ADC or codec Internal ADC / Coprocessor Audio Applications Flexible Interface Options

15 Audio Applications Flexible Interface Options - 2 Accepts serial digital data SPI or I2S directly S/P-DIF after conversion Precision filtering without dedicated computing resource System uC can load config / filter data QF1D512 Converter e.g.CS8420 Analog In ADC I2S, SPI S/P-DIF Digital In Digital Filtered Data Out SPI

16 Audio Application: Stereo / Multi-channel Filtering Each filter processes data from only one ADC input. Independent filtering per channel. Add as many chips as needed for channel count. QF1D512 Ch1 Filter Analog In ADC QF1D512 Ch2 Filter Ch1 Ch2 Digital Out e.g. CS53xx

17 Audio Application Equalizer Use single device with optimized ”shape” for the whole band Use Number of Taps to implement variable delay Cascade multiple chips in series Dedicate each device to a particular frequency band Not suitable for applications where latency is an issue!
