New Audio System Processors are Ideal for Digital Audio Networking Applications
Highly Integrated Family Combines CobraNet Interface with Powerful Audio DSP Engine to
Dramatically Reduce Overall Audio System Costs
CS4961xx
The new CS4961xx family of ICs integrates
Cirrus Logic’s highly regarded audio digital
signal processor (DSP) with Cirrus Logic’s
award-winning CobraNet™ technology, which
is the leading standard for delivering real-time,
uncompressed digital audio over Ethernet
networks. The results are highly optimized
audio system processors that offer dramatic
system cost savings and enhanced audio
processing features for manufacturers of
professional, commercial and consumer
networked-audio products.
CS496122, reduce system costs because they
allow for the removal of a separate, dedicated
audio DSP on the board design. This 32-bit
fixed-point DSP core features 120 MIPS for
custom programming and these three ICs
provide 2, 8 or 16 simultaneous channels of
audio input and output at up to 96 kHz sample
rates. They also provide multiple 16, 20 or
24-bit audio connections across an Ethernet
network. In fact, two-way audio control and
monitoring is possible at any point along
the network.
The CS4961xx audio system processors, which
include the CS496102, the CS496112 and the
Featuring a high-speed parallel host port
interface, the CS4961xx allows optional
The ICs are designed to expand the market
for CobraNet-enabled networked digital audio
products such as power amplifiers, mixers,
signal processors, intercom systems, ceiling
speakers, loudspeakers, paging systems, and
high-end networked consumer audio gear.

Software Tools – DSP Programming
Software Tools – Networking
• Assembler and Linker – Full featured
assembler and linker supports modular
development for Cirrus Logic’s high
performance Harvard-architecture
DSP processor.
The Silicon Series of processors, along with
the included firmware, implements a fully
functional CobraNet technology-compliant
interface. In addition, Cirrus Logic offers a
variety of utility programs and documentation
support to assist our developers in successfully
creating and launching CobraNet technology
based products.
• Using Cirrus Logic’s DSP Conductor™
software, a graphical audio-oriented
development environment, the developer
defines signal flow and may make real-time
adjustments to DSP parameters. Software
interacts with the target system via an
Ethernet connection.
• Documentation – The SDK includes
comprehensive documentation of the
Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) and the
operation of the Assembler, Linker and DSP
Conductor software. Example code and
tutorials get you started quickly writing your
own application specific DSP code.
• Support – The CobraNet technology SDK is
supported by experienced audio DSP and
CobraNet technology engineers as well as
Cirrus Logic FAEs.
• CobraCAD – is an application used to
model CobraNet network topologies. Simply
point, click, drag, and drop and CobraCad
will verify that the CobraNet network
configuration will perform as intended.
This tool is ideal for end users installing
systems with CobraNet technology.
• CobraNet Discovery – is a utility program
used to provide valuable feedback regarding
the working state of a CobraNet network.
The program reads and displays operational
statistics from every CobraNet interface on
the network. It can also be used to assign
addresses to individual CobraNet devices
and to update CobraNet firmware.
• CobraNet Object Tools (COT) – is a
Microsoft ® COM object library that can be
used with a variety of software languages
or scripting systems. COT provides all of the
low-level functionality needed to configure
and monitor CobraNet devices, greatly
easing the development effort required to
write custom CobraNet applications.
• Other Resources – Cirrus Logic has
additional software tools available for use
in manufacturing and test environments.
Reference designs and many helpful
application notes are also available.
The CobraNet Silicon Series processors and
its firmware and software tools are available
today with the full support that comes from the
worldwide Cirrus Logic sales and applications
engineering teams.
CobraNet technology has a proven track
record, with years of successful deployments
and tens-of-thousands of nodes in use today.
This solid track record, along with the costeffective CobraNet Silicon Series of processors
now available, makes the selection of
CobraNet technology an easier choice
than ever.
