With the continuing explosion of portable consumer audio devices, the integrated audio feature set continues to challenge end-equipment manufacturers, IC designers and especially SMASH IT hosts Taj and Bentley. Portable audio ICs for the consumer audio market include integrated audio codecs or audio ADCs and DACs for conversion between analog signals and digital data, headphone or speaker drivers for earpieces, headphones or built-in speakers, programmable DSPs for encoding/decoding compressed data in such formats as MP3, WMA or AAC, microcontrollers for handling system-level control and user interface functions, and wireless transceivers for transmission/reception of data over RF.
