The DA8x digital audio processor is the latest addition to the Aureus family of audio processors from Texas Instruments. The highly-integrated, dual-core DA8x product line offers the combined features of an ARM® processor and an audio digital signal processor (DSP) core, as well as a wide range of peripherals. This compilation results in a high-performance, cost-effective solution for consumer products such as network-connected Audio/Video Receivers (AVR), Home Theater in a Box (HTIB) and mini/micro component systems.

• TMS320DA830 and TMS320DA828 SOCs - The high-performance DA830 SOC, along with the DA828 SOC enable customers to design low cost networked applications that require multi-channel HD audio decoding and post processing.

Aureus DSP+ARM Networked Audio Solution

From the Internet, PC, home media server or from a network attached storage device, the ability to access music libraries across non-traditional boundaries is vital in the eyes of today's consumer. By leveraging the Aureus DA8x solution, audio OEMs can enable consumer access to endless amounts of music while enjoying the cinema quality sound that they are accustomed to in their home theater system, but at a lower price. By combining an ARM processor, an industry-leading HD audio decoding and post-processing audio DSP, and connectivity interfaces into a single device, TI empowers OEMs to address consumer demands cost-effectively.
