CDK-8 Series Overview

CDK-8 Series Reference Design thumbnail
  • SUMMARY - Everything you need to hook your own equipment into the network and get going. All CDK-8 modules provide configurable DSP that can be used for audio application development.
  • uC HOST OPTIONS - The CDK-8 series has options for applications with or without a local uC. The CDK-8D has no local control interface, the CDK-8DHMI has a parallel host interface, and the CDK-8DUART has a serial host interface.
  • SERIAL BRIDGING - The capability to deliver asynchronous serial data from one module to another (called Serial Bridging) is supported on all Attero Tech modules and ICs.
  • PROGRAMMABLE DSP - The CDK series offers you a blank slate for programming custom signal processing using Cirrus Logic's DSP Conductor software.

CDK-8 Series Details

The CDK-8D is a low cost CobraNet interface module that provides OEMs a simple and cost effective means of adding CobraNet audio networking capability to their products. The CDK-8D supports 8 bidirectional audio channels, user programmable DSP processing.

Features

    CDK-8DUART Circuit Board

    CDK-8DUART: Local uC control through a UART-style serial host interface. The local uC can control the CDK-8DUART by sending ASCII-based commands directly to the device controller.
