An all-in-one System-on-a-Chip has been announced by VLSI Solution. The VS1010 MP3 Audio DSP Microcontroller is an integrated and efficient MP3 player System-on-a-Chip, expected to cost less than $2.00 in volumes (including the MP3 license). VS1010's firmware is based on the same VSOS operating system powering the VS1005, allowing the same ease of modifying and programming.

A Hi-Res Player Evaluation Board will be unveiled by VLSI Solution at electronica on 8th to 11th November. The VS1005 Hi-Res Player Evaluation Board is based on VLSI Solution's VS1005 SoC, a highly integrated all-in-one IC for audio processing applications, and VLSI Solution's high-resolution audio decoder libraries.

The VLSI Solution VS23S010 is an easy to use static RAM device. With one megabit capacity it is the largest capacity SPI RAM on the market. The memory can be accessed via a standard SPI compatible serial bus (1, 2 and 4-bit modes), or via an 8080-type 8-bit parallel bus similar to nand flash devices. The main applications of the device are microcontroller RAM extension and audio buffer for internet and personal streaming.

VLSI Solution announces VS1005 SoC, a highly integrated all-in-one chip for audio processing applications. The VS1005 System-on-a-Chip contains an extensive set of peripheral interfaces. Included are controllers for Hi-speed USB host/slave, SD card, parallel NAND flash, SPI, Ethernet, S/PDIF, I2S master/slave and UART. VS1005 also contains 24-bit ADC's and DAC's, headphone and microphone amplifiers, linear regulators, a real-time clock, and an FM...

The VS1063 IC can encode an unforeseen multitude of audio formats, from MP3 and Ogg Vorbis to G.711 u-law, G.711 A-law, G.722 and 16-bit PCM. The proprietary MP3 and Ogg Vorbis encoders have been carefully tuned for highest possible audio fidelity for high-quality audio streaming or recording.

The VS1000 Module is a small, low-cost, high performance, easy to use audio player that is controlled from the IO pins, UART, SPI or USB. It can be used as a plug-in audio board in electronic systems or as a standalone small audio player. The module has a 2 Megabyte Flash for custom firmware and audio content. In addition there is a microSD card connector for additional content.

VLSI Solution has today announced VSIDE - the Integrated Development Environment for VSDSP Processor Family. VSIDE is an integrated development environment for VLSI Solution's 16/40-bit VSDSP digital signal processor family. It contains a complete set of development utilities, including an optimizing ANSI-C compiler, assembler, linker, profiler, etc. All programs are integrated into a simple-to-use, easy-to-learn package running on a PC / Windows...
