24-bit Audio Codec
The MEB II includes an Asahi Kasei AKM4953A 24-bit audio codec for high-quality
audio, as shown in
. The AK4953A is low power consumption 24-bit stereo
codec with a microphone, headphone, and speaker amplifiers, which is suitable for
portable applications with a recording/playback function. The I2C interface of the audio
codec is used by the PIC32 device for control and the I
2
S interface is used for audio.
