Analog Devices Presents New-Generation ADAU1797 Low Power Audio Processor at CES 2024

Analog Devices is now sampling its latest audio processor and low power ANC codec, the ADAU1797. This high-performance device with integrated HiFi 3z and FastDSP cores is able to efficiently support front-end audio processing with beamforming and noise reduction, as well as neural network-assisted speech recognition (ASR) processing. An ideal, low latency, low power, three times more powerful processor for true wireless stereo (TWS) ANC earbuds and headphones.

Wireless communications company Rayson Technology has released a multiprotocol module based on Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF5340 System-on-Chip (SoC). The solution is designed for advanced Bluetooth LE Audio applications in consumer electronics as well as smart home. Measuring just 16.5 by 13.0 by 2.5mm, the BTM-N340X module supports LE Audio and its Low Complexity Communication Codec (LC3) for lower power wireless audio streaming applications.

Røde has once again reacted quickly to the increasing competition in a market that it helped create, adding the most requested features in its just announced Wireless PRO wireless microphone system. The Wireless PRO is a compact dual-channel wireless microphone system using Røde’s state-of-the-art Series IV 2.4GHz digital transmission with 128-bit encryption, able to achieve stable audio up to 260m (850ft) in line of sight. It adds 32-bit floating point recording, advanced timecode, and much more.

Microchip just announced its new SAM D5x and E5x MCUs that provide powerful performance and enhanced security features, combining the performance of an ARM Cortex-M4 processor with a Floating Point Unit (FPU). The SAM D5x and SAM E5x 32-bit MCU families offer extensive connectivity interfaces, powerful performance and robust hardware-based security for a wide variety of applications.
