Ultra-Low Power Voice Codec CMX655D/CMX655A
1 Brief Description
Traditionally audio codecs have interfaced to electret microphones and speakers providing A-to-D and D-to-A functions using precision oversampling data converters. Recent advances in microphone design using MEMS techniques are now changing this, along with higher efficiency speaker drivers such as Class-D topologies. Both of these advances enable significant reductions in power consumption which is needed to address new applications such as voice control, that require ‘always-on’ operation. Such applications are often battery powered, driving the need for minimal power consumption. The CMX655D and CMX655A address these needs providing an update to the traditional audio codec that is both very low power and small in size. The CMX655D has a digital microphone interface that connects single or dual microphones to the device and the same parallel processing streams. The CMX655A has two independent input channels that support analogue microphones, with parallel processing of each data stream to maintain phase alignment between the two channels. The device supports programmable on-chip filtering, with digital gain control and an AGC function. A 1-Watt mono Class-D amplifier drives differential audio outputs for a filterless speaker. A separate single-ended analogue lineout is also provided for a headphone. The Class-D amplifier features programmable filtering and digital gain control. This architecture operates with far higher efficiency than conventional speaker drivers. The device interfaces via standard serial busses that are commonly found on many microcontrollers, DSPs and low cost radio transceivers. Note that text shown in pale grey indicates features that will be available in future versions of the device.
