EVALUATION BOARD OVERVIEW 
This evaluation board provides a simple analog input and 
output setup for the AD1940.  The DSP is controlled by Analog 
Devices’ SigmaStudio
TM
 software, which interfaces to the board 
via a USB connection.  This evaluation board may be powered 
either over the USB bus or by a single +6V supply, which is 
regulated to the voltages required on the board.  The PC board 
is a 3” × 3” four-layer design, with a single ground plane and a 
single power plane on the inner layers.  The AD1938 codec 
handles all signal conversion between the analog and digital 
domains.

AD1940 OVERVIEW 
The AD1940 is a complete 28/56-bit, single-chip, multichannel 
audio DSP in the SigmaDSP family of parts.  Processing 
includes equalization, crossover, bass enhancement, multiband 
dynamics processing, delay compensation, speaker 
compensation, and stereo image widening.  These algorithms 
can be used to compensate for the real-world limitations of 
speakers, amplifiers, and listening environments, resulting in a 
dramatic improvement of perceived audio quality. 
The signal processing used in the AD1940 is comparable to that 
found in high-end studio equipment.  Most of the processing is 
done in full 56-bit double-precision mode, resulting in very 
good low-level signal performance and the absence of limit 
cycles or idle tones.  The dynamics processor uses a 
sophisticated, multiple-breakpoint algorithm often found in 
high-end broadcast compressors. 
The AD1940 is a fully programmable DSP.  The easy-to-use 
SigmaStudio software allows the user to graphically configure a 
custom signal processing flow, using blocks such as biquad 
filters, dynamics processors, level controls, and surround sound 
processors.  An extensive control port allows click-free 
parameter updates, along with readback capability from any 
point in the algorithm flow. 
The EVAL-AD1940MINIB’s onboard AD1938 Codec handles 
all A/D and D/A conversion.  One stereo analog input and three 
stereo analog outputs are provided on the board, along with 
appropriate filters.
