Features

 Plays audio from microSD card or SPI

Flash

 Uses powerful Ogg Vorbis audio format

 Firmware and content can be customized

 Controlled via UART or IO pins

 Very simple to use, UART is enough to

send commands

 High-performance CD quality analog out

 Supports low bit rates and various sample

rates

 Operates from a single supply (VCC =

3.6...6.0V) (Note: other pins are not 5Vtolerant.

Do not drive other pins over

DVDD!)

 Line output

 Headphone output

 SPI FLASH for code and/or data storage

 MicroSD connector for data storage

 Most internal nodes are routed to pinheaders

for easy access and customization

Description

The VS1000 Module is a small, low-cost, high

performance, easy to use audio player that is

controlled from the IO-pins or UART. It can

be used as a “plug-in” audio board in electronic

systems or as a standalone small audio

player.

The product is supported by design services,

audio content preparation and pre-programming.

It is also fully configurable by the user by using

free Integrated Development Tools (VSIDE)

for the VS1000 IC. The use of the module

does not require any advanced information

from the user.

Pin headers of the PCB are compatible with

DIL32 footprint 2.54 pitch 15.24 mm wide (100

mils pitch, 600 mils wide). This makes it possibe

to use standard DIL32 ZIF sockets or

solder it by using DIL32 footprint.

The left row of the PCB has digital connections

for external buttons, LEDs or other circuitry.

The right row has power connections,

analog connections, a serial port and USB.

These can be used to interface the board with

a PC and VSIDE or a host microcontroller.

The VS1000 Module operates from a single

power supply. The board has 16 Mbits of onboard

FLASH and a microSD card connector

for playing license free Ogg Vorbis audio

files. The module can boot from the on-board

FLASH memory.
