VIA signs up for a new audio codec for SOC designs

VIA has signed a licensed agreement with Cadence(R) Tensilica(R) HiFi Audio/Voice DSP (digital signal processor) for a system-on-chip (SOC) design for set top box, tablets and mobile devices. It could well be that this will be used by the VIA subsidiary, WonderMedia.

"We needed a very low power audio DSP with a wide range of software codecs, so we selected the Cadence Tensilica HiFi/Voice Audio DSP," Michael Shiuan, vice president of Engineering, VIA Technologies. "This low power DSP fits well in our advanced SOC architecture and product lines. Our design-in time is also minimized due to the robustness of the complete codec support."

Cadence Tensilica HiFi Audio/Voice DSPs are the leading licensable audio DSP IP cores, licensed by more than 50 customers including many of the top 10 semiconductor manufacturers and leading system OEMs. The HiFi Audio/Voice DSPs support over 100 audio and voice codecs with very efficient processing at low power.
