The new ASIC linear audio amplifier features ultra-low power consumption and high efficiency delivering superior performance and extending the battery life of personal devices. According to USound, the new ASIC is able to reach 0.9 mA quiescent current, boosting the playtime of hearables and wearables in designs featuring USound's MEMS drivers. This audio amplifier can drive USound MEMS speakers in the frequency range of up to 40kHz, reaching the lowest noise, lowest harmonic distortion, and high rejection of external noise.
USound MEMS speakers are extremely thin and light while still capable of generating outstanding audio performance and full-range reproduction. Combined with the new Tarvos 1.0 UC-P3010 ASIC, these MEMS speakers take up 50% less space, use 80% less energy, and provide a wider audio frequency range compared to voice coil-based audio solutions. An optimized combination that the Austrian company believes will be attractive for brands and manufacturers looking to design next-generation audio products that are fully capable of leveraging the technical advantages of USound's MEMS microspeakers, including ultra-light and invisible true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds and hearing aids, as well as providing audio systems to ultra-low power wearable devices.
This ASIC linear audio amplifier is compatible with all available USound MEMS speakers, releasing their full potential and enabling ultra-compact audio modules for hearables and wearables where the space is limited, and high sound quality is required. Additionally, the analog audio input of the amplifier is compatible with the analog outputs of the latest Bluetooth solutions.
"USound MEMS speakers are designed to reduce system costs, to facilitate the manufacturing process, and to improve the reliability of hearables and wearables. With this new ASIC audio amplifier, we can design ultra-compact audio modules, including MEMS tweeter, woofers, and amplifiers can be produced, taking modularization to the next level," says Andrea Rusconi Clerici, CTO and Co-founder of USound.
The USound's ASIC amplifier Tarvos 1.0 UC-P3010 is currently being sampled to key customers and will be in mass production in 2023.
