Wolfson signs TinyCore dsp licence agreement

Wolfson Microelectronics has signed a licence agreement with audio processing specialist Oxford Digital to use its dsp core in a selection of Wolfson's audio hub products.

Oxford Digital's TinyCore dsp has been designed to simplify the software development process and enable easy porting of audio function algorithms. According to Wolfson, its audio hubs enable system designers to optimally manage increasingly complex multiple use cases in portable multimedia applications including smartphones, tablet computers, e-book readers, navigation devices and media players. Eddie Sinnott, portfolio director at Wolfson Microelectronics, said, "We selected Oxford Digital's TinyCore dsp due to its efficiency at executing certain key high definition audio algorithms, which our customers tell us provide them with a differentiator in their market place. Our choice was helped by the ease of its software porting process, excellent power efficiency, scalability and rapid time to market, all of which complement our architecture."
