Product category: Audio > Audio CODECs > Automotive CODECs

Title
Low Power Audio 24-bit Mono CODEC with Microphone/Speaker Amplifiers, ALC, (Automatic Level Control), and 5-band Equalizer

Applications
Automotive Modules, (Data Communication Module), Drive Recorders

Description

Mono audio CODECs, (D/A converter + A/D converter), are widely used in portable AV equipment and IoT devices. In addition to these applications, the needs for mono audio CODECs in the in-car communication modules and drive recorders are increasing. Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation, (AKM), has released an automotive low-power, 24-bit mono audio CODEC. The AK4637VN is the automotive version of the AK4637EN, satisfying in-car product qualities such as AEC-Q100. It achieves great cost/performance by integrating a voice processor, a microphone amplifier, and a regulator. This is ideal for processing blocks of sound in the in-car communication modules and drive recorders.

Features

● Advanced Recording Function

This device integrates a low-noise/low-power microphone amplifier and microphone power supply to enable high quality, realistic recoding performance. This is achieved with a, “Wind Noise Reduction Filter”, and, “5-band Notch Filter”, that allows for removal of specific system tones/noises and a, “Digital Automatic Level Control (ALC) Circuit”, to optimize recording levels.

● 1W Output SPK-Amp

The integrated mono speaker amplifier is capable of 1W output power making the AK4637VN ideal for the sound output block of drive recorders.

● Low-power Consumption

The AK4637VN achieves very low-power consumption: 6.5mW in mono recording mode and 11.6mW in speaker playback mode.
