New CobraNet™ Silicon Series Ideal for Digital Audio Networking Applications
Highly Integrated Solution Reduces Component Count and Implementation Costs
Audio manufacturers can now easily incorporate
the industry standard digital audio networking
technology into their product designs. CobraNet
technology, from Cirrus Logic®, is available in
the new CS1810xx Silicon Series, featuring
three highly integrated ICs that provide 2, 8
or 16 simultaneous channels of audio input
and output at either 48-kHz or up to 96-kHz
sample rates. The Silicon Series includes the
key CobraNet circuitry needed to integrate
high-quality, cost-effective audio networking
capability into a wide range of products.
The CS1810xx provides multiple 16, 20 or
24-bit audio connections across an Ethernet
network. In fact, two-way audio control and
monitoring is possible at any point along the
network. In conjunction with an external
VCXO, the ICs deliver a studio-grade,
low-jitter clock source and the CS1810xx
also supports dual-Ethernet connections for
“mission-critical” applications.
Featuring a high-speed parallel host port
interface, the CS1810xx allows optional
connection to a host processor as well as
offering Ethernet-based control, monitoring,
and management via industry standard SNMP.
Firmware can be easily updated over Ethernet
using TFTP or via the host interface. Additional
control and monitoring functions are also
provided by the innovative, built-in
Asynchronous or packet-bridge functions.
Now available on low-cost ICs without
licensing or royalty fees, the industry standard
CobraNet technology can be easily integrated
into new and existing networked-audio
applications. Contact your local Cirrus Logic
sale representative or visit www.cirrus.com
for details.

Application Examples
The Silicon Series of processors, along with
the included firmware, implements a fully
functional CobraNet-compliant interface.
In addition, Cirrus Logic offers a variety of
utility programs and documentation support
to assist our developers in successfully
creating and launching CobraNet technology-
based products.
•CobraCad – is an application used to model
CobraNet network topologies. Simply point,
click, drag, and drop and CobraCad will ver-
ify that the CobraNet network configuration
will perform as intended. This tool is ideal for
end users installing systems with CobraNet
technology.
•CobraNet Discovery – is a utility program
used to provide valuable feedback regarding
the working state of a CobraNet network.
The program reads and displays operational
statistics from every CobraNet interface on
the network. It can also be used to assign
addresses to individual CobraNet devices
and to update CobraNet firmware.
•CobraNet Object Tools (COT) – is a
Microsoft®COM object library that can be
used with a variety of software languages or
scripting systems. COT provides all of the
low-level functionality needed to configure
and monitor CobraNet devices, greatly
easing the development effort required to
write custom CobraNet applications.
•Other Resources – Cirrus Logic has
additional software tools available for use
in manufacturing and test environments.
Reference designs and many helpful
application notes are also available.
The CobraNet Silicon Series processors and
its firmware and software tools are available
today with the full support that comes from the
worldwide Cirrus Logic sales and applications
engineering teams.
CobraNet technology has a proven track
record, with years of successful deployments
and tens-of-thousands of nodes in use
today. This solid track record, along with
the cost-effective CobraNet Silicon Series
of processors now available, makes the
selection of CobraNet technology an easier
choice than ever.
