Nuvoton Technology introduces ARM-based audio system SOC ISD9160

Nuvoton Technology introduces the ChipCorder® ISD9160 system-on-chip (SOC) using the 32-bit ARM® Cortex ™ -M0 microcontroller core. The design concept of ISD9160 is to optimize the wide application of demanding industrial applications (such as: portable medical equipment, security systems and public transportation vehicles, etc.) and consumer design (including: wireless audio, home appliances, toys and novel products Capacitive key sensing, etc.) low-power recording and playback functions.

The ISD9160 uses a Cortex-M0 microcontroller running at up to 50MHz, sophisticated power management functions, embedded flash memory and SRAM memory, real-time frequency (RTC) controller and general-purpose IO (GPIO), allowing designers to develop , Reliable and easy to develop audio recording and playback system and products. As the latest force of Nuvoton's well-known ChipCorder® product line, ISD9160 also simplifies the design time of the product and can reduce the cost of the bill of materials; and the highly integrated structure of the chip itself allows designers to avoid the need for many Peripheral chip.

ISD9160 can also broadcast brand messages on a variety of consumer products, allowing manufacturers to allow their products to use chips that can play high-quality voice prompts and load corporate audio content, making their products different from other products on the market.

ISD9160 integrates multiple voice interfaces such as microphone, Speaker driver and I 2S, as well as eight GPIOs that can perform capacitive sensing and provide analog functions; in addition, there are five power saving modes that allow the device to operate at different operating voltages , Making it suitable for portable / battery-powered products. Because the ISD9160 takes advantage of the Cortex-M0 processing engine, it can also add functions such as voice recognition, voice prompts, and long-term recording / playback that use a lot of CPU resources.

The ARM Cortex-M0 core used by ISD9160 can provide 32-bit performance and low power consumption, but the price is only equivalent to the price of 8-bit microcontrollers. Designers can use their 32-bit architecture to develop complex algorithms such as speech recognition, text-to-speech (TTS), and wireless audio. These applications have used digital signal processors (DSPs) and / or other high-end ARMs in the past Device.
