MaxxAudio Algorithms On A Chip 

Nuvoton is launching the NPCA110x family of audio enhancement SOCs targeted for CE applications.
The NPCA110x integrates the Waves professional audio grade algorithms, for which Waves has received the 2011 Technical Grammy award.
Contemporary consumer electronic devices lack the ability to reproduce high-quality sound due to built-in limitations such as size and power consumption restriction, plastic materials, etc.
To overcome this performance gap, the NPCA110x provides a high-speed SoC pre-programmed with Waves MaxxAudio3.0® psychoacoustic algorithms.
The target device is easily tuned using an Audio Console GUI that controls the MaxxAudio3.0®.
This enables an “in-house” audio engineer or a Nuvoton’s audio engineer to quickly tune the system and customize audio pre-sets.

As part of the NPCA110x support program, Nuvoton Audio engineers will provide audio tuning services.

Features

The NPCA110x is pre-programmed with MaxxAudio3.0® algorithms and system features. These include:

  • MaxxBass® reproduces full, rich-sounding bass tones even from small speakers. This is done by using a patented psychoacoustic technique to create a perceived low bass, which can be extended up to 1.5 octaves lower than the original cut-off.
  • Power handling is done by MaxxVolume®, which utilizes the power amplifiers and speakers to their full extent yet avoids clipping and distortions.
  • Maxx3D™ widens the 3D image and provides a spacious feel, even from small devices.
  • MaxxTreble™ reproduces crystal clear high frequencies to compensate for tweeter-less designs.
  • MaxxDialog™ enables end users to enjoy clear, crisp dialog that doesn’t disappear behind loud music or noisy effects.
  • MaxxEQ™ provides a flexible equalizer with up to 20 stereophonic bands, providing ample bands for solving resonance issues as well as creating unique sound signatures and audio designs.
  • Digital Volume and Bass/Treble controls which replace traditional analog potentiometers
  • Additional digital controls for selecting a specific music style (Jazz, Vocal, Rap, Classical, etc.)

Derivatives
  • NPCA110P – Designed for Portable audio devices, such as docking stations, multimedia speaker and similar products.
  • NPCA110T – Designed specifically for TV applications. The algorithms compensate for small speakers with no low-frequency reproduction capabilities and restricted dynamic range. It can downsize or completely replace internal tweeters, large amplifiers and sub-woofers.
  • NPCA110D – A digital-only version for systems that can integrate it into their digital flow.
  • NPCA110B – An algorithm-restricted design for cost-sensitive projects that require Volume and Bass boost, such as USB based soundbar
  • NPCA110M – Designed for modern mobile devices and tablets. It is an embedded CODEC that runs all the output processing as well as microphone handling
