MP3/Voice Recorder-Player

The MP3/Voice Recorder-Player performs noise reduction, speech compression, and MP3 stereo recording/playback at all rates and options required by the MPEG/speech compression standards.

The core subsystems include:

  • DSP
    - performs the audio/encode functions, executes post-processing algorithms like eq and bass management and system related tasks like file management and the user interface control.
     
  • Memory
    - stores executing code and data/parameters.
     
  • Peripheral Interface
    - allows user to control I/Os and display.
     
  • Audio/voice CODEC
    - interface with the phone lines, audio input, microphone, headphone, and speaker for digitizing the audio in the DSP.
     
  • Power Conversion
    - converts the battery power to run various functional blocks.
