Create high-definition audio equipment with Microchip Bluetooth Audio SoC with LDAC technology

As mainstream consumer demand for premium audio experiences continues to increase, consumers expect Bluetooth audio devices to provide a perfect uninterrupted audio experience. However, Bluetooth audio design is often limited by the bit depth and frequency of existing codecs. Microchip Technology offers audio system designers a proven chipset system IS2064GM-0L3 with Sony LDAC audio codec technology* and is compatible with Bluetooth 5.0. This SoC enables manufacturers to adopt advanced editing The decoder develops a new generation of audio equipment that allows high-definition sound quality to step into the mass-market Bluetooth product, rather than the patent of the enthusiast. High-end headphone manufacturer Audeze has applied the SoC to its high-end Mobius gaming headset.

Audeze Mobius headphones use Microchip's IS2064GM-0L3 SoC to implement Bluetooth wireless connectivity that supports LDAC and other audio codec interfaces. Sony's LDAC is considered the best sound quality codec on the market, with the highest throughput when transmitting data. Up to 990 Kbps, three times higher than the standard Bluetooth subband codec (SBC), can maintain frequencies and bit depths of up to 96 kHz / 24 bits. This high compression and decompression efficiency allows Bluetooth audio devices to provide a high-definition audio listening experience.

The IS2064GM-0L3 SoC not only enables more audio product vendors to use the LDAC codec, but also enables these vendors to leverage IBM's superior global technical support and development environment compatible with all Microchip devices to provide implementation support and accelerate product The LDAC codec is also integrated into the Bluetooth protocol stack of the Android 8.0 OreoTM operating system, allowing LDAC technology to be more widely applied to the transmitter.
