What, Where, Who? Integrating Audio Analog Functionality into SoCs

Overview:
Questions for mobile system designers no longer center around whether systems should integrate audio functionality, but where should the audio be integrated, what new trends to consider, which features offer the best power / performance tradeoffs, and who designers can look to in a make vs buy decision. The answers to these questions are not always straightforward. In this webinar, you will learn:

• What performance trends in today's multimedia devices are affecting audio systems
• Where in the system to integrate audio codecs
• What challenges are associated with integrating analog audio interfaces in more advanced process nodes such as 28-nm
• Who to consider when looking at "make vs buy" decisions
