ADAU1462/ADAU1466
Data Sheet
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADAU1462/ADAU1466 are automotive qualified audio
processors that far exceed the digital signal processing
capabilities of earlier SigmaDSP® devices. They are pin and
register compatible with each other, as well as with the
ADAU1450/ADAU1451/ADAU1452 SigmaDSP processors.
The restructured hardware architecture is optimized for
efficient audio processing. The audio processing algorithms
support a seamless combination of stream processing (sample
by sample), multirate processing, and block processing
paradigms. The SigmaStudio™ graphical programming tool
enables the creation of signal processing flows that are
interactive, intuitive, and powerful. The enhanced digital signal
processor (DSP) core architecture enables some types of audio
processing algorithms to be executed using significantly fewer
instructions than were required on previous SigmaDSP
generations, leading to vastly improved code efficiency.
Dedicated decimation filters can decode the pulse code
modulation (PDM) output of up to four MEMS microphones.
Independent slave and master I2C/SPI control ports allow the
ADAU1462/ADAU1466 to be programmed and controlled by
an external master device such as a microcontroller, and to
program and control slave peripherals directly. Self boot
functionality and the master control port enable complex
standalone systems.
The power efficient DSP core can execute at high computational
loads while consuming only a few hundred milliwatts (mW) in
typical conditions. This relatively low power consumption and
small footprint make the ADAU1462/ADAU1466 ideal
replacements for large, general-purpose DSPs that consume
more power at the same processing load.
Note that throughout this data sheet, multifunction pins, such
as SS_M/MP0, are referred to either by the entire pin name or
by a single function of the pin, for example, MP0, when only
that function is relevant.
The 1.2 V, 32-bit DSP core can run at frequencies of up to
294.912 MHz and execute up to 6144 SIMD instructions per
sample at the standard sample rate of 48 kHz. Powerful clock
generator hardware, including a flexible phase-locked loop
(PLL) with multiple fractional integer outputs, supports all
industry standard audio sample rates. Nonstandard rates over a
wide range can generate up to 15 sample rates simultaneously.
These clock generators, along with the on board asynchronous
sample rate converters (ASRCs) and a flexible hardware audio
routing matrix, make the ADAU1462/ADAU1466 ideal audio
hubs that greatly simplify the design of complex multirate audio
systems.
