Aureus™ High Performance Digital Audio Processors

The Aureus™ high performance digital audio processor family enables OEMs to bring audio consumer electronic products with network connectivity and superior quality audio processing to market faster and with reduced cost of development.

Aureus DA8x Networked Audio Software Development Kit

The DA8x Networked Audio Software Development Kit (DA8x nSDK) eases and accelerates ARM-based networked audio software development for applications such as Internet radios, networked audio video receivers (nAVRs) and other connected audio products.

The DA8x nSDK includes a comprehensive package of pre-integrated online music services, local network streaming audio features, implementations of network interoperability standards, tested drivers for key peripherals, operating system support and much more to allow audio CE manufacturers to more easily design networked audio products with reduced time to market.

Aureus DSP+ARM Networked Audio Solution

The DA8x digital audio processor platform is the latest addition to the Aureus family of audio processors from Texas Instruments. The highly-integrated, dual-core DA8x platform 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), Internet Radios, Audio Clients, Home Theater in a Box (HTIB) and mini/micro component systems.

• TMS320DA830 and TMS320DA828 SOCs - high-performance digital audio SOCs enable customers to design low cost networked applications that require multi-channel HD audio decoding and post processing.

From the Internet, PC, home media server, portable internet device or from a network attached storage device, the ability to access music libraries across traditional boundaries is required by 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. 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. Developers can get started today with a DA830EVM from Spectrum Digital.

Aureus Multi-Channel Audio Decoding Solution

• TMS320DA810 and TMS320DA808/807/805 DSPs - The high-performance DA810 DSP, along with the DA808 DSP are ideal for designing applications that require multi-channel HD audio decoding, advanced post processing and USB 2.0 capability.



• TMS320DA710 and TMS320DA708/707/705 DSPs - These Aureus™ digital audio processors provide a cost-optimized platform that brings more features and high-quality sound to low- and mid-range applications requiring multi-channel decoding.

From multi-zone AV and Blu-ray receivers, Blu-ray players and automotive multimedia systems, to home-theater-in-a-box systems, PC multimedia speakers, sound bars and integrated HDTVs, the Aureus TMS320DA8x and TMS320DA7x audio processors surround the powerful C6000™ DSP core with software for streamlining the customization process and bringing differentiated products to market quickly. Ranging from mini-component audio systems, automotive entertainment systems and high-performance media servers, the Aureus DSP encode solution can be quickly implemented in media systems to enable ripping and encoding at speeds up to 20X real time. Developers can get started today with the DA830EVM from Spectrum Digital and the DA710/8 EVM from Momentum Data Systems.
