VLSI Solution Announces VS1063 Audio Codec Chip

VLSI Solution announces today VS1063, the world's most advanced audio codec chip, according to the company. The VS1063 IC can encode an unforeseen multitude of audio formats, from MP3 and OggVorbis to G.711 u-law, G.711 A-law, G.722 and 16-bit PCM. The proprietary MP3 and OggVorbis encoders have been carefully tuned for highest possible audio fidelity for high-quality audio streaming or recording.

VS1063 can play back MP2, MP3, WMA, OGG, LC-AAC, HC-AAC, FLAC, IMA, G.711 u-law, G.711 a-law, G.722 and WAV PCM formats, making it suitable for hi-fi audio playback and streaming applications. VS1063 also offers a full-duplex codec mode with optional Acoustic Echo Cancellation. The codec mode makes it possible to create real-time full duplex audio for voice applications like internet phones and two-way audio radio links.

VS1063 provides many built-in sound effects, including a bass enhancer and treble control, a 5-band equalizer, a speed shifter and VLSI Solution's proprietary EarSpeaker room processing. It is also possible to insert PCM sound effects or audio from a stereo analog input on top of playback audio.

To make VS1063 more versatile, it has 16 KiB of program RAM for custom applications. Combined with an interface with VLSI Solution's Integrated Development Environment VSIDE, the platform offers almost endless customization options.

VS1063 is offered in LQFP-48 7x7x1.4 RoHS compatible package. It is pin-compatible with VLSI Solution's integrated circuit VS1053b.
