Voice commands enhancing audio codec for automotive IVI

sCODS100-N.11-Xenon, a new audio codec from Dolphin Integration is designed exclusively for automotive infotainment applications supporting voice commands and noise free high quality in-cabin phone audio. sCODS100-N.11-Xenon embeds common-mode noise-resilient preamplifier in the ADC path and provides a unique “Common Mode Noise Tolerance Template (CMNT2)” specifying the tolerated noise beyond audio bandwidth. Dolphin Integration said leading automotive electronic OEM supplier has approved the performance and configuration of sCODS100-N.11-Xenon audio CODEC as per automotive application requirements and by purchasing the infotainment module with this audio IP embedded inside. Another interesting feature supported in this audio codec is an inter voltage-domain isolation-system enabling independent start-up and power-down of analog and logic power supplies of the CODEC, with control signal connected to SoC’s Activity Control Unit (ACU) for ensuring safe behaviour of the IP during power-on and power-off sequences. Other key features of this codec as per Dolphin include: 2 stereo ADCs with 4 stereo single-ended or differential inputs for line-in or mic-in application, and 2 stereo digital microphone inputs 3 stereo DACs with 3 stereo singled-ended line outputs for 5.1 in-car sound system Automatic Gain control (AGC) on recording path preventing from saturation of...
