Overview

Description

The 3-in-1 audio system reference design is a full featured high end audio solution that can be configured into three separate audio solutions:

  • Smart Speaker with Alexa voice control and commands
  • A powered speaker solution
  • A sound bar solution

The design offers all standard audio input formats including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi audio streams as well as configurable speaker outputs including the ability add wireless subwoofers, wireless surround speakers, and/or wireless speaker pairing (depending on the configuration).

The design uses either Renesas D2-3 or D2-6 family of Audio ICs. These are complete System on-Chip (SoC) audio processors and Class-D amplifier controllers. Integrated DSP processing and configurable audio processing algorithms provide an extremely flexible platform for feature rich and cost-effective quality audio solutions for consumer electronics applications.

The design also features the Renesas RX65N microcontroller. The RX Family is the new generation of microcontrollers built around the revolutionary RX core, which combines the strengths of RISC and CISC architectures. Products in the RX Family feature integrated digital signal processor (DSP) and floating point arithmetic processor modules. The RX600 series is optimized for high speed and superior performance.
