Dolphin Integration announces the availability at 40 nm of low-power audio codec with SNR of 100 dB

Grenoble, France – December 09, 2011 -- The audio converter panoply from Dolphin Integration is based on ultra Low Power architecture of cores - ADC and DAC - and offers peripherals for high density or low BoM to address mobile devices like smart phones, tablets, DSC, portable DVD players…

The leading configuration of such wide panoply, sCODS100-N.01-Xenon, proven on silicon, is enriched with a flexible architecture enabling either the lowest Bill-of-Material or the richest array of peripherals.

SoC integrators and FabLess suppliers can benefit from their preferred product quite fast to enhance their SoC performances with:

• 100 dB of SNR
• differential lines-in, stereo headphone, differential line-out
• an embedded regulator ensuring noise reduction on power supply
• slave mode control through the I2C interface
• synchronization functionality through the Sample Rate Converter
• ...

Silicon qualification serves to ascertain the worth of simulations for any configuration and may enable demonstration platforms.

Furthermore, Dolphin uniquely contributes experts in Field Application Engineering, who provide support and advice to users, not only with a set of appropriate Application Schematics, but also simulation models for optimizing the sensitive spots of integration and enabling fast delivery of the optimal configuration on boards.
