Audio Interface (J28)

The audio solution on the LittleBoard 550 is provided by the VT82C686B and the LM4549 audio
CODEC. These two chips use a digital interface to communicate between the two, which is defined by
AC97 and is revision 2.1 compliant. The LittleBoard 550 supports its own audio amplifier (LM4853),
which drives the audio signals into an external audio load. Output signals for the audio interface are
through the 26-pin 2mm connector (J28) to an external board, which has the respective audio
connections on it.

Audio CODEC (LM4549) features

• Analog Mixer Dynamic Range 97dB (typ)
• D/A Dynamic Range 89dB (typ)
• A/D Dynamic Range 90dB (typ)
• AC’97 Rev 2.1 compliant
• 3D Sound circuitry
• High quality Sample Rate Conversion (SRC) from 4kHz to 48kHz
• PC-Beep passthrough to Line Out while reset is held active low
• True Line Level Output with volume control independent of Line Out

Audio Amplifier (LM4853) features

• Dual bridge-connected audio power amplifier
• 2.2W into 4Ω load or 1.1W into 8Ω load.
• Dual Bridge speaker amplifiers
• Stereo headphone amplifier
• External Audio Interface
