Put Low-Power, Low-Overhead, High-Fidelity Digital Sound in Your Next ASIC or SOC
Nearly all new ASIC and SOC designs incorporating digital audio employ some form of programmable DSP to run the audio codecs. General-purpose control processors can implement audio codecs with a sufficiently fast clock. However, they are not the most efficient engines for running audio codecs, and almost always use more energy to deliver real-time, multi-channel audio.
DSPs generally run audio codecs more efficiently than do general-purpose processors because they have features that accelerate the … Read More → "Put Low-Power, Low-Overhead, High-Fidelity Digital Sound in Your Next ASIC or SOC"
