CSR Debuts BlueVox DSP Bluetooth Mono Headset Reference Design for $6
CSR launched BlueVox DSP, a low cost $6 eBOM Bluetooth mono headset design with enhanced DSP based Clear Voice Capture (CVC) echo and noise cancellation technology. BlueVox DSP is the world's first ROM-based solution with an integrated DSP coprocessor and features AuriStream, CSR's low power voice CODEC for superior quality voice calls. With a bill of materials of just $6, CSR has designed BlueVox DSP with the richest feature set including single and dual microphone noise suppression and support for simultaneous connection to two devices. Compared to competitive solutions BlueVox DSP offers far superior audio performance and lower power consumption through its advanced DSP architecture and CVC noise cancellation, while maintaining an ultra low $6 eBOM, previously only achieved for basic low cost mono headset designs.
Xilinx Announces Reference Design, Avalon IP for SFI-5 Interface
Xilinx, Inc. (Nasdaq: XLNX), the world's leading supplier of programmable logic solutions, announced availability of a free hardware-verified reference design and 3rd party IP for the optical internetworking forum (OIF) SERDES framer interface level 5 (SFI-5) standard.
