TI introduces industry’s first 8-channel PWM audio processor with dual asynchronous sample rate converters

April 17, 2013

DALLAS (April 17, 2013) – Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today introduced the industry’s first 8-channel pulse-width modulator (PWM) audio processor with dual asynchronous sample rate converters (ASRCs) integrated on a single chip. The HD-compatible TAS5548 allows home and pro audio designers to seamlessly mix two audio sources, providing design flexibility and cost savings compared to competitive solutions that require two chips. It accepts sample rates from 8 kHz to 192 kHz and converts them to a fixed rate of 96 kHz or 192 kHz, eliminating the need to create, store and change coefficients. This simplifies the design of digital multi-channel products, such as … Read More → "TI introduces industry’s first 8-channel PWM audio processor with dual asynchronous sample rate converters"
