Description

VS1053b is an Ogg Vorbis/MP3/AAC/WMA/

FLAC/WAVMIDI audio decoder as well as an

PCM/IMA ADPCM/Ogg Vorbis encoder on a

single chip. It contains a high-performance,

proprietary low-power DSP processor core

VS_DSP4, data memory, 16 KiB instruction

RAM and 0.5+ KiB data RAM for user applications

running simultaneously with any builtin

decoder, serial control and input data interfaces,

up to 8 general purpose I/O pins,

an UART, as well as a high-quality variablesample-

rate stereo ADC (mic, line, line + mic

or 2line) and stereo DAC, followed by an

earphone amplifier and a common voltage buffer.

VS1053b receives its input bitstream through

a serial input bus, which it listens to as a

system slave. The input stream is decoded

and passed through a digital volume control

to an 18-bit oversampling, multi-bit, sigmadelta

DAC. The decoding is controlled via a

serial control bus. In addition to the basic decoding,

it is possible to add application specific

features, like DSP effects, to the user

RAM memory.

Optional factory-programmable unique chip

ID provides basis for digital rights management

or unit identification features.
