Detailed hardware description

 

 

Audio

VL

A National Semiconductor LM4549 AC’97 audio CODEC is used to support the audio features of the VIPER. Audio inputs supported by the LM4549 are stereo line in and a mono microphone input.

The LM4549 provides a stereo line out that can also be amplified by a National Semiconductor LM4880 250mW per channel power amplifier, suitable for driving an 8Ω load. The LM4549 AC’97 codec may be turned off if it is not required. See the section

Audio357Hpower management, page 8435 H, for details.

Connection to the VIPER audio features is via header PL6. See the table below for pin assignments and the section PL6359H– Audio connector, page 91360H, for connector and mating connector details.
