SPIRIT Offers Efficient MP3 Decoder Algorithm for ARM Platforms
The Software Ensures Best-in-Industry Technical Characteristics
Combined with Lowest System Requirements
LONDON—(BUSINESS WIRE)—June 28, 2005—
SPIRIT (www.spiritdsp.com/mp3_arm.html), the leading supplier of
embedded software products for digital signal processing and
multimedia, announces that its MP3 algorithm is now fully compliant
with ARM platforms (ARM9e, ARM9, and ARM7).
The software performs real-time audio decoding starting at a low
10 MHz clock speed (on ARM9e). The new implementation fully takes
advantage of Arm's DSP instruction set extensions, achieving 25% more
efficiency compared with a dual-MAC 16-bit DSP's. Targeted for
personal audio players and recorders, HDTV, STB, digital radio, and
other audio systems, SPIRIT MP3 consumes as low as 7.5 MIPS and 17.5
KBytes of program memory. This outstanding performance is achieved
with SPIRIT's unique technology that allows greatly improved
efficiencies compared to conventional solutions thus achieving the
industry's lowest MIPS and memory requirements.
This proprietary technology saves power consumption and prolongs
battery-life in power sensitive portable applications. Economical
memory requirements leave chip memory mostly free and available for
integrating other audio and voice processing algorithms thus
minimizing development costs and BOM costs. All this makes the device
more compact and attractive for users.
The software supports all MP3 features, including Layers 1 and 2
that extends the range of applications where it can be used and makes
SPIRIT MP3 solution universal software for audio devices designers.
"Combined with superb CD-audio quality, low system requirements
and a wide range of supported features allow the software to be easily
embedded into different audio systems from wide-dynamic range
reproduction systems, like home theaters, to simple MP3 players." -
says Andrew Sviridenko, SPIRIT's chairman.
