The first configuration of Dolphin Integration stars an audio converter at 40 nm LP to a high SNR of 100 dB

Meylan, France – February 25, 2011 -- The new audio converter kit from Dolphin Integration is based on Helium2, the now celebrated ultra Low Power architecture. It includes blocks like ADC and DAC cores, DC regulators and a wealth of peripherals: line-input, microphone biasing, line-output, synchronization (SRC for Sample Rate Converter), filters, headphone True Ground…The FlexAudio architecture allows fast release of optimized configurations for answering the large variety of customer requests.

To benefit from such a customized configuration for a competitive system, Dolphin's uniquely contributes experts in Field Application Engineers, who will support and advise SoC Integrators with the appropriate Application Schematics for a fast delivery of the optimal configuration.

Dolphin is already offering the sCODS100-N.01-Helium2 which highlights:

• 100 dB of SNR
• differential lines-in, stereo headphone, differential line-out
• an embedded regulator ensuring reduction of power network noise
• slave mode control through the I2C interface
• synchronization functionality through the Sample Rate Converter
• silicon qualification is in process at TSMC 40 nm LP to ascertain the worth of simulations and to enable demonstration platforms

For further information on the offering at 40 nm, a look at the first configuration is feasible on http://www.design-reuse.com/sip/view.php?id=25367, the sCODS100-N.01-Helium2, or ask more information at jazz@dolphin.fr.
