Hsinchu, Taiwan – Nuvoton, a leading global supplier of microcontrollers, is pleased to announce the new high performance audio Quad ADC NAU85L42YG to accelerate the development of wireless streaming and real time processing voice capture products. The solution is enabled by Nuvoton’s on-chip silicon signal processing design, including the low latency decimator (DECM) linear and non-linear filters; these low pass filters are valuable additions to the wireless real-time stream application. Wide supply range and robust protection.
The NAU85L42YG is a high-performance audio quad ADC that supports both analog and digital microphone input signals for easy system integration. It includes one I2S/PCM/TDM output interface. The advanced on-chip signal processing engine includes a FLL to support various input clocks with auto clock detection (BCLK and MCLK). The device also features a wide supply voltage range and robust system protection.
Addressing Industry Pain Points in Multi-Mic Design
We are pleased to announce significant advancements in the NAU85L42YG, setting a new benchmark for reliable voice capture in 4-array microphone algorithm applications. Designed with precision and adaptability, the NAU85L42YG ensures robust performance by allowing the host SoC to seamlessly detect any microphone malfunction through Mic Diagnostic monitoring. This proactive detection, combined with customer adaptive algorithms, delivers real-time, dependable signal quality. As a result, the NAU85L42YG empowers host-side algorithms to perform at their best, providing exceptional accuracy and reliability in voice capture. These features underscore the NAU85L42YG’s market advantage and reinforce our commitment to innovation and excellence in audio technology.
Conventional quad ADCs without low pass filters will cause delay / high latency during audio data transmission on critical events, especially in real-time stream processing applications. It will cause a mismatch between audio and video streaming, bringing a worse user experience. Nuvoton’s new quad ADC design significantly addresses this challenge by reducing latency time to just one-sixth of what conventional quad ADCs offer. This improvement makes the NAU85L42YG an ideal solution for WiFi or Bluetooth wireless devices that demand low group latency to deliver an outstanding audio user experience.
