Add voice, sound clips, and streaming audio to embedded designs
Clive Maxfield12/18/2012 2:22 PM EST
Silicon Labs’ new Class D ToolStick for the Precision32 32-bit MCU family simplifies the addition of voice, sound clips and streaming audio to embedded designs.
The Class D ToolStick highlights the Precision32 family's high level of integration, including a 300 mA high-drive I/O, crystal-less USB operation, an I²S receiver, and capacitive sensing.
The Class D ToolStick kit shows you how to quickly and easily add Utility Class D audio to your designs using the Precision32 MCUs:
