Description
The CRD4525-Q1 demonstrates the CS4525 digital
PWM controller with integrated power stages. This ref-
erence design implements a two-channel amplifier that
delivers 15 W per full-bridge channel into 8 Ωloads us-
ing a single +18 V supply. The CRD4525-Q1 is
powered by an included 80 W switching mode power
supply.
Standard RCA phono jacks are provided to easily inter-
face analog input signals with the evaluation board.
Optical and coaxial inputs are provided to interface with
S/PDIF digital audio input signals.
The PWM audio power outputs are routed through an
inductor/capacitor 2nd order low-pass filter (LPF) to re-
move high-frequency components from the output
signal, effectively converting it from digital to analog.
The Windows software provides a GUI to make config-
uration of the CRD4525-Q1 easy. The software
communicates through the PC’s USB port to configure
the control port registers so that all features of the
CS4525 can be evaluated. Additionally, control over ba-
sic functions is possible via on-board hardware controls
without the need to attach the CRD4525-Q1 to a PC.

A 80 W OEM switching-mode power supply is included to power the CRD4525-Q1. The power supply pro-
vides +18 V to the CS4525 power stages, and an on-board buck-converter and regulator provide power to
the logic-level digital circuitry.
Power may be supplied from the included power supply or any 12-18 VDC power supply capable of deliv-
ering sufficient current for the intended power output. Connection for the power supply is provided in J3 (see
the System Connections table on page 14).
1.2 CS4525 Digital Amplifier
A complete description of the CS4525 is included in the CS4525 product data sheet.
Optional user configuration settings of the CS4525 are provided through its control port registers, accessible
through the CS4525 tab of the Cirrus Logic FlexGUI software. A register-level configuration interface is pro-
vided on the Register Maps tab. See the “PC Software Control” section on page 7 for more information.
1.3 CS8416 Digital Audio Receiver
A complete description of the CS8416 receiver (Figure 8 on page 17) and a discussion of the digital audio
interface are included in the CS8416 data sheet.
The CS8416 converts the input S/PDIF data stream into PCM data and clocks for the CS4525. The CS8416
operates in master mode and can provide PCM data in Left-Justified, I²S, Right-Justified 16-bit, and Right-
Justified 24-bit interface formats.
The most common operations of the CS8416 may be controlled via the S/PDIF Input Controls tab in the GUI
software application. Advanced options are accessible through the CS8416 sub-tab on the Register Maps
tab of the Cirrus Logic FlexGUI software.
1.4 System Clocking
A 24.576 MHz parallel resonant crystal, Y1, is available to provide a clock source to the CS4525. The crystal
is mounted in pin sockets, allowing easy removal or replacement. Alternatively, an input SYS_CLK signal
can be provided on pin 3 of the serial audio input header (J2).
1.5 External Data Headers
The evaluation board has been designed to allow interfacing with external systems via the headers J2, J4,
and J11. Figure 6 shows the headers’ electrical connections.
The 12-pin, 3 column header, J2, provides access to the CS4525’s serial audio input and SYS_CLK input
signals. Place shunts across the SCLK, LRCK, and SDIN pins located in the columns labeled “S/PDIF” to
connect to the on-board S/PDIF digital interface receiver circuitry. To use an external digital audio source,
simply remove the shunts and connect a ribbon across the SCLK, LRCK, and SDIN pins located in the col-
DS804RD4 5
CRD4525-Q1
umns labeled “EXT SAI”. A single ground column for the ribbon cable’s ground connection is provided to
maintain signal integrity.
The 8-pin, 2 column header, J11, provides access to the CS4525’s auxiliary serial audio port output signals,
as well as the SYS_CLK output signal. A single ground column is provided to maintain signal integrity.
The 20-pin, 2 column header, J4, is included to interface with a CRD4412A card. Various signals, power,
and ground are presented on this header. Notably, this header includes the DLY_SDOUT and DLY_SDIN
signals which can be used to interface with an external delay device or DSP. See Figure 6 for complete con-
nectivity information.
1.6 Analog Inputs
RCA connectors supply the CS4525 analog inputs through single-ended passive circuits with one pole of
input filtering. A resistive attenuation network is implemented to allow 2 VRMS input levels to be supplied to
the CRD4525-Q1. Refer to the CS4525 data sheet for the maximum input signal level at the analog input
pins.
1.7 Speaker Outputs
The CS4525 power outputs are configured for stereo full-bridge operation. The outputs are routed through
a 2nd order low-pass filter to remove high-frequency content from the output signals and then presented at
the speaker wire crimp terminals (J5). The output filters are optimized for 8 Ωspeaker loads. The speaker
terminal connections are shown below.
1.8 PC Control
A USB connection is provided to facilitate software control of the CS4525’s internal registers.
A graphical user interface is available for the CRD4525-Q1 to allow easy manipulation of the CS4525’s in-
ternal registers. See the CS4525 data sheet for complete internal register descriptions.
To enable the CRD4525-Q1, simply connect the supplied USB cable from an available USB port on a PC
to the USB connector (J37) and launch the Cirrus Logic FlexGUI software.
A visual indicator is provided by an on-board LED (D12) that illuminates when the board is being operated
under PC control. When operating under PC Control, the stand-alone controls on the board should not be
manipulated.
Refer to “PC Software Control” on page 7 for a description of the Graphical User Interface (GUI).
1.9 Stand-Alone Control
A volume control knob (S1), reset button (S2), and mute button (S3) are included for stand-alone operation
of the CRD4525-Q1. These controls were not supported by early versions of firmware running on the
CRD4525-Q1, so it may be necessary to upgrade older firmware versions to enable their functionality.

CRD4525-Q1
The on-board firmware can be upgraded by downloading and running the most recent version of the Cirrus
Logic FlexGUI application. If necessary, this application (downloadable at www.cirrus.com/msasoftware)
will automatically upgrade the firmware for an attached CRD4525-Q1 upon start-up.
1.10 External Power Stage Interface
A keyed connector (J4) is included to interface with the CRD4412A. The CRD4525-Q1 can be used with or
without a CRD4412A attached.
Without the CRD4412A attached, the CRD4525-Q1 configures itself for 2-channel stereo full-bridge opera-
tion. When the CRD4412A is attached, the CS4525 enables its bass manager and routes the LFE channel
to the CRD4412A which amplifies the signal in mono parallel full-bridge mode. Together, the CRD4525-Q1
and CRD4412A implement a 2.1 configuration.
The CRD4412A must be inserted and removed while power is not applied to the CRD4525-Q1.
