DSP Concepts and Analog Devices Collaborate on Solution for Rapid Design of In-Vehicle Audio Entertainment Systems

DSP Concepts is collaborating with Analog Devices on a solution for automotive OEMs aimed at accelerating design cycles and reducing costs for in-vehicle audio system implementation. The new end-to-end development ADI LISTN EZ-AUDIO system will enable versatile, differentiated audio entertainment projects using Analog Devices SHARC+ DSP technology and the newly optimized Audio Weaver development platform from DSP Concepts to reduce design complexity and costs.

In a collaboration between DSP Concepts and Analog Devices, the performance of Audio Weaver Core runtime libraries has been optimized to take full advantage of the SHARC+ core and to leverage the powerful SHARC+ DSP FIR/IIR hardware accelerators. This optimization effort results in tangible benefits for developers of automotive audio systems and other products, when utilizing audio processors in the ADSP-2156x, ADSP-2159x, and ADSP-SC59x product families.

Analog Devices announced the availability of its new SHARC Audio Module (ADZS-SC589-MINI), a hardware/software platform that facilitates efficient product prototyping, development, and production of a variety of digital audio products. Delivering an innovative combination of high-performance audio signal processing components and a comprehensive software development environment, the SHARC Audio Module is ideal for effects processors, multi-channel audio systems, MIDI synthesizers, and many other DSP-based audio projects.
