AKM Releases Low Latency 4-Channel A/D Converter for Automotive ANC Applications

Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation (AKM) has developed a new 4-channel A/D converter (ADC) targeting automotive applications. The AK5734 is a complementary solution for microphones, aiming at active noise control systems (ANC) and road noise control systems (RNC), which are increasingly being installed in vehicles. By combining with the previously released 6-channel ADC the AK5736, the system can accommodate various microphone channels. Besides ANC and RNC, AKM says the solution is ideal for the microphone input of a wide variety of in-vehicle systems.
