Texas Instruments audio codecs and digital-to-analog converters

Audio codecs and digital-to-analog converters for ebooks, mobile internet devices and portable navigation devices have been released.

The highly integrated codecs (TLV320AIC3100, TLV320AIC3110, TLV320AIC3111, TLV320AIC3120) and DACs (TLV320DAC3101, TLV320DAC3100, TLV320DAC3120) reduce component count and system cost compared with discrete implementations, and support enhanced audio features to improve the user’s listening experience.

In addition, the devices are pin-to-pin and software compatible, reducing hardware and software development.

The devices integrate Class-D speaker amplifiers with up to 2.5 W of output, eliminating the need for multiple resistors and capacitors between the codec and speaker amp.

Pin-to-pin and software compatibility make it easy for manufacturers to develop a common product platform that can generate multiple differentiated end products.

The products support analog and digital microphones. Users with digital microphones can achieve up to 10 dB or greater system-level noise immunity.
