SAM5716B

Typical Application

High end Sound Modules and Audio Processing


Overview

High-performance MIDI Synthesizer and Effect Processor

The SAM5716B is a member of the SAM5000 family of sound synthesis and audio processing ICs that uses the DSP array technology. The SAM5716B includes sixteen 24-bit DSPs, a general-purpose 16-bit CPU, a 24-bit Audio Router and a multi-channel audio DMA. The implementation of a sophisticated sample buffering system allows 256-polyphony sound synthesis with large sound banks stored in cost saving memories, typically 1GByte in NOR Flash and up to 8GBytes in NAND Flash. Depending on the memory configuration, the SAM5716B provides up to 16-input/16-output audio channels, and all communication and user interfaces required for supporting a large range of high-end audio applications such as sound module, KTV and professional audio processing.
