Dialog's new DA7321 DSP-based audio codec, including SRS SoundTM, is now
available as part of the Freescale(R) Tower System as a new peripheral
module delivering improved sound quality
Kirchheim/Teck, Germany, 4 June 2013 - Dialog Semiconductor plc (FWB: DLG),
a provider of highly integrated power management, audio and short-range
wireless technologies, announced today a new audio codec reference module -
based on its DA7321 audio codec - for Freescale Semiconductor's Tower
System Development Platform. The DA7321 is part of Freescale's
microcontroller (MCU) and microprocessor (MPU) portfolio ecosystem and
targets a broad range of audio applications, including small speakers,
headphones, docking stations and gaming systems.
OEMs can now use Dialog's latest low power audio codec to significantly
improve the consumer's audio experience. Dialog's DA7321 codec delivers
louder and cleaner audio by using a multi-channel architecture to digitally
mix and route multiple audio streams. An on-chip Digital Signal Processor
(DSP) offloads audio software from the host processor, enabling OEMs to
benefit from consistent high quality audio. It also eliminates the need to
re-encode the audio data in multi-channel applications. By using the DSP to
process the audio signal, OEMs developing with the Freescale Tower System
will benefit from:
- More perceived volume to the audio signal without headphone or speaker
distortion;
- Psychoacoustic bass boost to improve perceived low frequencies;
- Patented SRS Sound(TM) to improve the audio image size, bass sensation
and audio system dynamics.
The Freescale Tower System is a modular, expandable, open source
development platform for 8, 16 and 32-bit MCUs and MPUs. The
interchangeable and reusable modules and open source design files make it
easy to customise a product and reduce low level design, giving OEMs more
time to focus on creating differentiated solutions.
Udo Kratz, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Mobile Systems
Business Group at Dialog Semiconductor commented, 'Freescale is a global
leader in processing solutions with a broad portfolio of microprocessors
and microcontrollers, offering a unique ecosystem approach for their
customers. Dialog is delighted to continue to expand our partnership with
Freescale with our latest multi-channel audio codec with dual I2S that
gives OEMs the design flexibility they need to develop new generations of
high performance audio peripherals.'
Rudan Bettelheim, Audio and Accessories Business Development Manager at
Freescale notes, 'Dialog is enabling OEMs to build and evaluate innovative
new audio accessories quickly while maximising hardware re-use across their
product ranges by providing an optimised audio solution that is supported
by the Freescale Tower System.'
The DA7321 is offered in a in a 64 pin BGA package with a 0.5mm pitch,
with an operating temperature range of -40 C to +85 C, and can be found
onboard the new TWR-AUDIO-DA7321 peripheral module for the Freescale Tower
System. It is now available through Freescale Buy Direct. Learn more at
www.Freescale.com/Tower.
Dialog will demonstrate the TWR-AUDIO-DA7321 Audio moduleas part of an
assembled Tower System, at Computex Taipei on 4?8 June in the Freescale
booth (A0703a, Hall 1 1F).
