ASRC-Pro : 24-bit -130dB THD+N Multi-Channel Audio Sample Rate Converter

Overview

The ASRC-pro (CWda52) is part of Coreworks family of multi-channel Asynchronous Audio Sample Rate Converters (ASRC). This core can be used to interface digital audio equipments operating at different sample rates. It has been designed for systems requiring very high quality in terms of low harmonic distortion and noise, tolerance and rejection of input jitter.

The ASRC-pro can perform common sample rate conversions with less than -130 dB of Total Harmonic Distortion plus Noise (THD+N) and has a Dynamic range of 131 dB, supporting input data processing of up to 24-bit resolution.

Coreworks ASRC series are implemented to support several key industry interfaces: TDM parallel, TDM serial, Parallel, I2S, SPDIF-AES3.

Coreworks offers a broad range of asynchronous sample rate converters targeted for variety of audio applications.

Key Features
