A Family of Digital Audio Interface Transmitters, Eight Channels, Four Channels and Two Channels, For Professional and Consumer Audio Applications.Business Editors and High-Tech Writers SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 22, 2000 Today AKM AKM Apogee Kick Motor AKM Army Knowledge Management AKM Angry Korea Man (Warcraft 3 Personality) AKM Abhandlungen für die Kunde des Morgenlandes (Papers for the Oriental Consumer - German Oriental Society) Semiconductor Inc. announced a family of digital audio transmitters, AK410x, designed to support the a family of digital audio transmitters, AK410x, designed to support the emerging 192k Hz digital audio sampling rates. These solutions support standard formats, specifically the Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format (S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital InterFace) A serial interface for transferring digital audio from CD and DVD players to amplifiers and TVs. S/PDIF is typically used to transmit PCM and Dolby Digital 5.1, but is not tied to any sampling rate or audio standard. ) for consumer applications and the Audio Engineering Society/European Broadcast Union (AES3/EBU) for professional applications. The AK4101, an eight-channel transmitter has four RS-422 differential drivers integrated on a single monolithic chip. This device is ideal for digital mixers, set top boxes, surround sound applications, and effects processors with multiple digital outputs. A small 44-lead LQFP See QFP. package (12x12mm) allows for a very space efficient board layout. A common clocking scheme and programming interface reduces the component count and thus reduces system costs. The AK4102, a four-channel transmitter allows the user to provide two output channel pairs, an SPDIF See S/PDIF. and an AES/EBU (Audio Engineering Society/European Broadcasting Union) A professional serial interface for transferring digital audio from CD and DVD players to amplifiers and TVs. AES/EBU is typically used to transmit PCM and Dolby Digital 5. output using only one device. The AK4103 device offers a stereo transmitter in a very small 24-lead VSOP VSOP very special (or superior) old pale: used of brandy or port package. The family of devices allows eight-audio input formats including IIS, Right Justified, Left Justified, and Master/Slave modes of operation with 16 to 24 bit word sizes. These devices can operate with a microprocessor or in stand-alone hardwired mode. They are compatible with industry standard audio receivers. Prototype quantities are available today.
