Setting up the Programmable Analog Module (PAM) for AnadigmDesigner2:
Needed:
•AnadigmDesigner2 (referred to as “AD2”) computer aided
design (CAD) software installed on a Microsoft Windows®
based PC.
Looks like this when running 
•DB-9 RS-232 Serial Cable (see Advisories on last page about USB-to-Serial adapters).
•DC power source: Use either
oA typical 9VDC output, 1200 mA or larger capacity, AC wall plug power adapter fitted with a 2.1
mm ID x 5.5 mm OD output connector wired as CENTER POSITIVE, or
oA low noise +5V bench power supply
•Typical set of powered desktop PC stereo speakers with the 3.5 mm stereo plug connector.
Step 1. Connect the DC power source, either using the +9VDC power adapter or a +5VDC bench supply:
A. Using the supplied +9VDC power adapter per the left side photo below:
1) Plug the power unit into the AC outlet and connect into the DC Power Jack on the PAM.
2) Make sure the metal clip connecting 5VOUT to 5VIN is installed (per arrow).
B. Using a +5VDC bench power supply connected per the right side photo below:
1) Remove the metal clip connecting 5VOUT to 5VIN (per arrow).
2) Install GND and +5VDC wire connections to the power terminal per the photo
In both cases the green +5V ON LED near the DC Power Jack should be ON continuously.
Step 2. Press the Master Reset pushbutton (labeled M-RST) in the corner of the PCB opposite the power
terminal. The two LEDs near the DB-9 connector should flash red and then green in succession.
Step 3. Connect the Serial Cable from the PC to the RS-232 DB-9 port on the PAM
Step 4. Connect the 3.5 mm stereo cable from the PC speakers into the stereo Output jack (labeled
OUTPUT). Make sure the PC speakers have power and are turned on.

Creating and downloading a sample audio signal source:
Step 1. Every time AD2 starts up a small window will appear asking which Anadigm chip to use. Look at
the small lettering in the center of the space above the square design area window which should say
AN221E04. If yes then select the Continue with default chip button and proceed. If some other
part number shows then select the Choose a different chip button and change to AN221E04.
Step 2. Point to the pull down menu under Settings and select Preferences. The Chip Type should be
AN221E04 as established above. Select the Port tab and then activate the Select Port pull down
option arrow to show the available options. In general, COM1 is the best choice but this is PC
dependent. Select COM1 for now, select the Apply button and then OK. If Step 3 below does not
work then select another COM port option and try Step 3 again. Be sure the serial cable is secure.
Step 3. Start AD2 and select Target > Display Board Information. A window will appear with the PAM
software version and the part number of the Anadigm IC used (AN221E04). Click OK.
Step 4. Select Edit > Insert New CAM. CAM means “Configurable Analog Module” which is the AD2
name for the pre-defined analog functions. The index to the library of CAMs will be displayed. Point
to and double click the Sinewave Oscillator CAM which will appear attached to the tip of the cursor.
Drag it into the AD2 design area and click once to drop it.
Step 5. The parameter set up window specific to this CAM will appear. Click OK to accept defaults.
Step 6. Select Settings > Active Chip Settings > Clocks to adjust the system clock parameters. Point to
Clock 1 setting and use the LEFT/RIGHT slider to set this clock to be divided by 400 times from the
system clock frequency to be 40.0 kHz. Leave all other clock settings unchanged and click OK.
Step 7. Point to the Sinewave Oscillator CAM icon, right click and select CAM Settings. Set the parameters
as follows to achieve 440 Hz (0.44 kHz) oscillator output:
•Point to Clock A and use the pull down option arrow to select Clock 1 (at 40 kHz)
•Point to the Osc. Frequency value window (temporarily red), enter 0.44 and then OK
•Point to the Peak Amplitude value window to confirm 3.6 Volts (default) and then OK.
Step 8. Point to the red output port below the Sinewave
Oscillator CAM icon and watch the wiring tool
pointer appear. Drag the pointer to the upper right
output port and release to set the wire. Point to any
place along the new blue wire just installed to start a
new wire branching off of this wire. Drag the
pointer to the lower right output port and release to
set the wire. There should now be connections
between the output port of the Sinewave Oscillator
and the two output ports of the Anadigm IC. The
wire just created is labeled “n1”.
Step 9. Point to the Download icon (it has a blue downward pointing arrow). Click once to download the
configuration file representing this design into the Anadigm IC on the PAM. The PAM should show
three green LEDs as ON with the 440 Hz Tuning-A tone coming out of the speakers. The green LED
next to DIP2 socket indicates that a correct Anadigm configuration download has been completed
and the analog signal processing is running.
Step 10. The voltage output waveforms can be observed at the terminal posts labeled OUT1 and OUT2.

Storing a copy of the downloaded configuration file in the on-board EEPROM:
As shipped the PAM-5002R will download configuration files directly into the Anadigm IC. To format and
store a configuration file into the supplied EEPROM for the Anadigmvortex static configuration mode
(MODE = 1) set Switch 4 – 3 (labeled “C”) to the ON position. Configuration downloads will proceed as
before (a bit slower) but a reformatted version of the configuration file will be put into the SPI serial
EEPROM installed in the socket labeled ‘DIP1’. To demonstrate the stored contents of the EEPROM:
•Disconnect the power and remove the RS-232 cable
•Relocate the EEPROM to the socket labeled ‘DIP2’
•Set all 10 switches in Switch 3 to OFF to isolate the Anadigm IC from the microprocessor
•Set Switch 5 (labeled ‘MODE’) to OFF – OFF – ON (1 = OFF, 2 = OFF, 3 = ON)
•Reconnect the power.
The configuration file stored in the EEPROM to create the 440 Hz Tuning A will be immediately loaded into
the Anadigm IC and the tone will appear at the speakers. This process will repeat after every power up and
after the Analog Reset pushbutton is pressed and released.
Advisories about USB-to-Serial adapters, flow control and restarting the AD2:
#1 – Use of the Servenger PAM-5002R is not recommended with USB-to-Serial adapters. However if
your PC has only a USB port and no Serial port you may try to use a USB-to-Serial adapter device. No USB-
to-serial adapter product is recommended as more likely to succeed than another. An adapter that worked
last year with one particular PC is not guaranteed to work purchased new this year nor to work with another
PC. Please demonstrate success with your PC before committing to purchase. Selecting between Software and
Hardware flow control options per #2 below may be helpful.
#2 – As shipped, the PAM-5002R is set to use RS-232 SOFTWARE flow control (XON-XOFF command
character protocol) to be compatible with most desktop PCs. You can experiment with HARDWARE flow
control (CTS-RTS signal line handshake) to see if this works better for your equipment by setting Switch 4 – 2
(labeled “B”) to ON.
#3 – If the RS-232 Serial cable is disconnected and then reconnected to the PAM after a configuration
download, it may be necessary to save the AD2 design file and then close and restart the AD2 software to
restore the logical connection between AD2 and the microprocessor on the PAM.
