High-performance audio is an essential component to almost all consumer electronic devices today. Digital home entertainment applications such as digital TV, set-top boxes, and DVD players continue to require support for multiple audio streams. More recently, mobile multimedia devices including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and even digital cameras and camcorders have an increased need for higher audio quality.
Integrating audio analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs) functionality into a system-on-chip (SoC) reduces the overall system cost, area and power compared to a dedicated external audio integrated circuit (IC). With more than 15 years of delivering proven IP products, Synopsys’ offers a comprehensive portfolio of robust, silicon proven, high-quality audio IP solutions that deliver performance levels similar to discrete components, while reducing the IP integration effort into embedded SoCs for mobile multimedia applications.
The DesignWare® Audio IP solution can be easily configured, on –demand to meet specific application requirements. In addition to supporting the basic audio conversion features, the DesignWare Audio IP portfolio includes advanced performance functionality, including unique POP suppression techniques to help deliver superior audio quality and silicon tested performance exceeding 100 dB Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). The DesignWare Audio IP has shipped in over 100 M ICs and support a wide range of foundry process technologies from 180-nm to 40-nm, enabling designers to reduce integration risk.
