UG-416 Evaluation Board User Guide
I2C AND SPI CONTROL
The evaluation board can be configured for live control over
the registers in the ADAU1962/ADAU1966. When the
Automated Register Window Builder software is installed
and the USBi control interface is plugged into the board, the
software can control the ADAU1962/ADAU1966. For this
configuration, the ADAU1962/ADAU1966 must be assigned to
I2C mode using Address 00. See Figure 4 for the correct jumper
positions.
Figure 4. ADAU1962/ADAU1966 I2C Control, Address 00
The Automated Register Window Builder controls the
ADAU1962/ADAU1966 and is available for download under
the Tools, Software, & Simulation Models section of the
ADAU1962 and ADAU1966 product pages.
In addition, the ADAU1962/ADAU1966 can be put into SPI
mode for control by other means. See Figure 5 for the correct
jumper positions.

ADAU1962 and ADAU1966 product pages.
2. Open the downloaded.zip file and extract the files to an
empty folder on your PC.
3. Install the Automated Register Window Builder by
double-clicking setup.exe and following the prompts. A
computer restart is not required.

extraction folder into the C:\ProgramFiles\Analog
Devices Inc\AutomatedRegWin folder, if it is not already
installed.
