Audio processor shrinks time to market 2014
Description:
STMicroelectronics has introduced a new generation of processors for car radio and display audio applications.
The Accordo2 offers a fully integrated audio subsystem, including media decoding, audio routing, sound processing, and analogue audio inputs and outputs, as well as an independent secure CAN microcontroller subsystem.
"Until now, car infotainment manufacturers had to use multiple devices to achieve the same result that a single Accordo2 device delivers today," said ST in a statement.
In addition to minimising BOM cost, Accordo2 is said to facilitate faster product development as it comes with a complete turnkey software solution that includes middleware, media players, audio codecs and sound effect processing.
Moreover, the various members of the family offer application scalability to design a basic car radio all the way up to connected car radio and display audio applications.
