Audio Processors

Designed for world-class high definition (HD) voice applications, Microsemi’s new ZL380 series of audio processors features the company’s Microsemi AcuEdge™ Technology. This innovative technology is a set of highly-complex and integrated algorithms that allows the user to extract more information from the audio environment. The new Microsemi AcuEdge Technology consists of license-free, royalty-free intelligent audio IP algorithms. When combined with Microsemi’s highly-integrated ZL380 series of audio processors, the solution accelerates customers’ time-to-market via validated reference design and easy-to-use development tools including the Microsemi Audio Interface Box (AIB) Kit which utilizes the MiTuner™ GUI software.

The connected home is about enabling users to talk to each other through connected devices. Connected devices could include integrated smart home gateway, intercom, Media Center, IP Camera, Skype. Microsemi AcuEdge Technology enable the full duplex operation between the connected devices to deliver on seamless high definition (HD) voice communication. In complex noise environments such as gaming rooms and building lobbies, Microsemi’s AcuEdge Technology cancels echo, maintains a constant ambient noise (comfort noise) and continuously converges during double-talk situations.
