Audio/Video Resource Center:
Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry’s leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, is providing engineers with the latest advancements in audio and video with its extensive online resource center. Audio-video technology has evolved from simple sound and video tools to integrated, AI-powered systems that deliver ultra-high-resolution visuals and personalized, immersive spatial audio experiences. This new wave of technology provides a range of new and enhanced experiences for all users.
The foundation of enriched A/V experiences begins with user interaction, highlighted by gesture control, an intuitive solution to the challenges with hearables. It leverages sensor technologies and AI, allowing users to execute commands through simple head and hand movements. This precise interaction is made possible by MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) technology, which can produce smaller, more efficient, and cost-effective audio devices. Spatial audio technology further transforms the listening experience by tailoring sound profiles to individual anatomy, using 3D head scans and otoacoustic emissions profiling for optimal sound delivery. When combined with High Dynamic Range (HDR) Streaming, which dramatically enhances video quality by increasing contrast and realism, these advancements create deeply enhanced, intuitive, and immersive audio-video experiences for the end-user.
Mouser’s technical team and trusted manufacturing partners tailor the content to provide an up-to-date stream of articles, blogs, eBooks, and products from the world’s leading manufacturers. The future of A/V technology is shaped by the integration of AI in enhanced technology, creating smart, predictive, and personalized user experiences. This hub offers engineers the technical context needed to design and integrate these complex systems that merge physical and digital worlds.
Mouser stocks the industry’s widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, including the newest products and solutions for audio-video applications. Here are a few examples:
- The CD326x audio interface transmitter by Texas Instruments is compatible with specially enabled audio interfaces and supports two operating modes: button mode and tone mode. The audio interface transmitter offers a low quiescent current (3µA in button mode, 110µA in tone mode). Housed in a miniature DSBGA (YZP) package, the CD326x is suitable for wired headset signaling with specially enabled audio interfaces.
- The ultra-low power Digital PDM XENSIV MEMS microphones from Infineon Technologies are designed for applications that require long battery life and environmental robustness in a small package. These microphones boast a 66.5dB(A) to 68dB(A) SNR, 20Hz low corner frequency, enhanced RF shielding, and digital PDM output. They are ideal for smartphones, mobile devices, high-quality audio recording, VUI devices, industrial, and home monitoring with audio pattern detection.
- The Aurawave AW100 Auracast Platform by Ezurio enables wireless broadcasting of high-quality audio to multiple Bluetooth receivers simultaneously. The platform offers easy configuration via AT commands for applications in audio, data transfer, and sensor connectivity.
- The CS530x high-performance analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) from Cirrus Logic consist of 2-channel, 4-channel, and 8-channel ADCs with a high-resolution 32-bit digital architecture. These ADCs offer synchronized external preamplifier control, low-latency digital filters, and digital volume control, making them ideal for A/V receivers, digital mixing consoles, DAW interfaces, and musical instruments.
- The AK7017 HiFi 4 digital signal processor DSP by Asahi Kasei Microdevices features eight stereo and four mono SRCs (up to 192kHz sampling), a DIR, DIT, and a RAM-based DSP1. The DSP1, optimized for C-language and operating at 491.52MHz, allows for user-programmable audio and voice processing, including acoustic effects.
