Cirrus Logic released the CS47L15 low-power smart codec, the newest member of Cirrus Logic’s SmartHIFI audio and voice IC portfolio. It enables smartphone OEMs to incorporate advanced audio features, such as “always on” voice activation, enhanced karaoke and virtual stereo and protection algorithms for enhanced speaker playback.
These extensive audio features, which have previously been limited to flagship smartphones and tablets, empower consumers with greater voice control over their mobile device while delivering a noise-free audio playback experience. The CS47L15 provides a premium listening experience featuring Cirrus Logic SmartHIFI, a combination of powerful DSP processing, ultra-low power consumption and high-quality audio playback typically associated with high-end audio equipment. Its ultra-low power performance (25 microwatts standby operation, 2.6 milliwatts headphone playback) ensures significant battery life savings.
The CS47L15 is supported on multiple application processor platforms, enabling a consistent feature set and high-performance capability across a wide variety of handsets from leading OEMs.
