Audio processor provides industry's lowest power consumption claims Sanyo
1 min read
Sanyo Semiconductor has announced the launch of its LC823425 audio processing solution for portable devices such as IC recorders.
The product features a built in hardwired mp33 encoder/decoder system, enabling what Sanyo describes as the 'industry's lowest power consumption' of 5mW and supporting advanced functionality via a built in dsp.
According to Sanyo, the LC823425 lowers power consumption during encoding by 50% compared to its prior products, by utilising a newly developed hardware encoders for mp3 file formats. It also employs a, low voltage 90nm process to achieve overall power consumption of approximately 5 mW - the lowest level in the industry for mp3 recording/playback.
The device also features a Class D headphone amplifier to reduce power consumption during playback.
Through these functions, the LC823425 achieves power consumption 30% lower than that of earlier sound processing products and is ideal for miniaturisation of in unit battery packs and extending operating time.
"The hardwired mp3 encoder/decoder technology utilised in the LC823425 audio processor delivers better power consumption and faster processing than software processing options using a dsp," said Kenichi Kiyozaki, manager of Sanyo Semiconductor's Digital LSI Development Department.
