AS3517
General Description
The AS3517 is a low power stereo audio codec and
is designed for Portable Digital Audio Applications.
It allows playback and recording in CD quality. It
has a variety of audio inputs and outputs to directly
connect electret microphones, 16Ω headset and
auxiliary signal sources via a 10-channel mixer. It
only consumes 20mW in playback mode.
Further the device offers advanced power
management functions. All necessary ICs and
peripherals in a Digital Audio Player with flash or
harddisk memory are supplied by the AS3517. The
power management block generates 11 different
supply voltages out of the battery supply. CPU,
NAND flash, SRAM, memory cards, harddisk, LCD
backlight, USB-HOST and USB-OTG can be
powered. The different supply voltages are
programmable via the serial control interface.
AS3517 also contains a charger. The supply
voltage can range from 3.0V to 5.5V.
The AS3517 has an on-chip, phase locked loop
(PLL) controlled, clock generator. It generates
44.1kHz, 48kHz and other sample rates defined in
MP3, AAC, WMA, OGG VORBIS etc. No additional
external crystal or PLL is needed in slave mode.
Further the AS3517 has an independent 32kHz real
time clock (RTC) on chip which allows a complete
power down of the system CPU.
