AS3515
Stereo Audio Codec with System Power Management
1 General Description
The AS3515 is a low power stereo audio codec and is
designed for Portable Digital Audio Applications. It allows
playback in CD quality and recording in FM-stereo quality. It
has a variety of audio inputs and outputs to directly connect
electret microphones, 16Ω headset, 4Ω speaker and auxiliary
signal sources via a 10-channel mixer. It only consumes 22mW
in playback mode.
Further the device offers advanced power management
functions. All necessary ICs and peripherals in a flash based
Digital Audio Player are supplied by the AS3515. The power
management block generates 9 different supply voltages out of
the battery supply. CPU, NAND flash, SRAM, memory cards,
LCD back-light, USB RX/TX can be powered. The different
supply voltages are programmable via the serial control
interface. It also contains a charger and is designed for battery
supplies from 1V to 5V.
The AS3515 has an on-chip, phase locked loop (PLL)
controlled, clock generator. It generates 44.1kHz, 48kHz and
other sample rates defined in MP3, AAC, WMA, OGG VORBIS
etc. No additional external crystal or PLL is needed. Further the
AS3515 has an independent 32kHz real time clock (RTC) on
chip which allows a complete power down of the system CPU.
