Texas Instruments introduced the second device in the
family of PurePath Wireless audio products for consumer, portable and high-end
audio applications. The 2.4 GHz CC8530 radio frequency (RF)
system-on-chip transmits uncompressed wireless audio over a robust RF link, and
supports digital streaming for up to four audio channels.
TI also introduced the CC85XXDK-HEADSET development kit
and reference design as part of the PurePath Wireless audio family. As the
market’s most cost-effective offering for high-quality headsets and headphones,
the design has a total electronic bill-of-material cost of less than USD $5 in
high-volume production, and achieves a 22-hour life on a 465 mAh battery a
100 percent increase as compared to currently available headsets..
PurePath Wireless audio represents TI’s industry leading
expertise in digital audio and wireless connectivity markets. We’ve done all
back-end work with the new wireless headset reference design, so engineers can
build a prototype in less than one day,” said Erling Simensen, product
marketing manager, wireless audio, TI.
With the ability to stream two stereo streams from one
audio source to several receivers, the CC8530 will enable exciting new use
cases for wireless headsets and multichannel home audio applications, such as
surround sound speaker systems with no need to pull wires across the house, and
headphones that easily switch between two audio streams coming from one stereo
system,” Simensen added.
TI’s PurePath Wireless technology enables us to design
cutting-edge wireless audio products. Thanks to PurePath Wireless technology,
our high-quality designs offer unwired multipoint audio streaming, and our
audio systems can expand to up to four speakers and cover two stereo-audio
listening zones. Products such as Sound of Lights wireless speakers are
sparking tremendous interest with great customer feedback, and we look forward
to continued work with the TI team,” said Robert Wills, president, InterSource
OEM.
