STMicroelectronics Launches Automotive Audio Processor to Shrink Design Cycle and Time-to-Market
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
New processors drive great value across an entire product range
Geneva, November 7, 2014 - STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global
semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics
applications and a leading supplier of semiconductor solutions for car
infotainment, has introduced a new generation of processors for Car-Radio and
Display-Audio applications. Building on the success of the popular STA1052 audio
System-on-Chip, the new Accordo2 family (STA1095 and variations) offers an
unprecedented level of hardware and software integration, thereby enabling the
industry's fastest time-to-market solutions at the greatest value.
The Accordo2 family offers a fully integrated audio subsystem, including media
decoding, audio routing, sound processing, and analog audio inputs and outputs,
as well as an independent secure CAN (Controller Area Network) microcontroller
subsystem. Until now, car infotainment manufacturers had to use multiple devices
to achieve the same result that a single Accordo2 device delivers today.
In addition to minimizing the customer's bill of materials (BoM), Accordo2
facilitates faster product development as it comes, uniquely, with a complete
turnkey software solution that includes middleware, media players, audio codecs,
and sound-effect processing. Moreover, the various members of the family offer
application scalability to design a basic car radio all the way up to Connected-
Car Radio and Display-Audio applications, while reducing engineering costs by
reusing the same hardware and software architectures for all use-case scenarios.
"The Accordo2 family offers a platform for customers to develop their own unique
products with the lowest BoM and in the shortest time," said Antonio Radaelli,
Infotainment Business Unit Director, STMicroelectronics. "The hardware and
software integration that we have built into Accordo2 unleashes unprecedented
levels of creativity for customers because they can "cut and paste" our
reference design and then modify it quickly to create their own branded
products."
Accordo2 devices include a 32-bit ARM(®) Cortex(®) R4 core, running at up to
600MHz, to handle all media management, connectivity, and audio-decoding
functions. The flagship product (STA1095) incorporates an additional ARM(®)
Cortex(®) M3 controller dedicated to real-time CAN/Vehicle Interface Processing,
as well as a powerful Digital Signal Processor (DSP) that supports sound-
enhancing algorithms as well as Echo Noise Cancellation (ECNR) for Bluetooth
hands-free phone calls.
All Accordo2 devices are housed in LFBGA 361-ball (16 x16 x1.7mm, 0.8mm pitch)
packages. Samples are available now, with volume production scheduled for Q2
2015. Please contact your ST sales office for pricing options and sample
requests.
