Bluetooth 5.2 Dual Mode Audio SoC - Low cost earbuds

Description and Features

The BT 5.2 Dual Mode Audio SoC combines the features and functions needed for high quality wireless audio into a single SoC. The BT 5.2 Dual Mode Audio SoC supports standards and industrial alliance specifications including Bluetooth 5.2 including BDR/EDR, LE, indoor positioning and BLE Mesh, Zigbee 3.0, HomeKit, 6LoWPAN, Thread and 2.4GHz proprietary standard. The BT 5.2 Dual Mode Audio SoC is designed to offer high integration, ultra-low power application capabilities. The BT 5.2 Dual Mode Audio SoC integrates a powerful 32-bit RISC-V (RISC-Five) MCU, DSP, AI Engine, 2.4GHz ISM Radio, 256kB SRAM, 4MB Flash, stereo Audio Codec, 14bit Aux ADC, Analog and Digital Microphone input, PWM, flexible IO interfaces, and other peripheral blocks required for advanced audio applications. The BT 5.2 Dual Mode Audio SoC also includes multi-stage power management design with sub-threshold level power consumption allowing ultra-low power operation and making it the ideal candidate for wearable and power-constraint applications. With the high integration level of 9518, few external components are needed to satisfy customers’ ultra-low cost requirements.
