Microchip unveils advanced development kit for high-quality digital audio applications

The 80-MIPS PIC32MX795F512L MCU on the audio development board features 512 KB Flash and

128 KB RAM, providing plenty of processing power and memory to decode, analyze and play back audio and speech. Libraries are available for speech recording and playback, as well as MP3 music decoding applications. Additionally, an audio Sample Rate Conversion (SRC) library for 33 kHz, 44.1 kHz and

48 kHz is also supported, which enables developers to reduce component costs for playback solutions. There are also libraries available for managing the USB interface and driving the on-board colour LCD display, which features 16-bit colour images. For those developers who are enrolled in the Apple® Made For iPod (MFi) Licensing Program, the kit also interfaces to Microchip’s accessory development platform for iPod® and iPhone®.



The Audio Development Board for PIC32 MCUs (part # DM320011) is available today, for $149.99 at microchipDIRECT. For MFi licensees, the Digital Audio Development Kit for PIC32 MCUs (part # DM320411) adds the accessory development platform for iPod and iPhone. This kit will be available by September to MFi licensees via Apple's authorized distributor.
