SEGGER Introduces Audio Class for Embedded Development of USB Devices

German company SEGGER introduced audio class support for its emUSB-Device, a high-performance USB device stack specifically designed for embedded systems. Any audio application may now be realized, such as devices for conferencing systems, speakerphones, headphones or USB-to-audio adapters. If the target device incorporates or attaches to microphones, speakers, headsets, and/or musical instruments, the USB interface is often an ideal way to stream the audio data to or from the host.
 
Founded in 1992, SEGGER Microcontroller is a full-range supplier of software, hardware and development tools for embedded systems. The company offers support throughout the whole development process with easy-to-use tools and components. Headquartered in Germany with a US office in the Boston area and distributors in all continents, SEGGER offers its full product range worldwide.

The audio class is a component of SEGGER’s USB stack emUSB-Device. It runs on any microcontroller and is platform-independent. The flexible device stack enables the creation of multi-class devices using nearly any combination of the available USB classes. emUSB-Device provides classes for Media Transfer Protocol, Mass Storage Device, CDROM, Audio, Human Interface Device, CDC-ACM (Serial port communication), IP-over-USB, and printers. emUSB-Device includes a sophisticated Bulk communication class for delivering efficient, high-bandwidth peripherals. emUSB-Device is fully compliant to the USB-standard.

For evaluation, trial packages targeting SEGGER’s emPower board along with other readily available boards are available for download. For more information visit: https://www.segger.com/products/connectivity/emusb-device/add-ons/usb-audio/
