Atmel Introduces a Ready-to-Use Ultra-Low-Power MP3 Decoder for Mobile Phones

Nantes, France (ots/PRNewswire)

- New Chip Provides Increased Functions, Optimized System Size,
Cost and Time-to-Market
Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML), a global leader in the
development and fabrication of advanced semiconductor solutions,
announced today a new ready-to-use single-chip MP3 decoder combining
all the features to allow a mobile phone to play MP3 music and ring
tones and to convert it into a pen drive.
With time-to-market being key in the mobile phone market, the
AT83SND2CMP3 requires minimal firmware development. An
easy-to-implement protocol can be added to the baseband firmware. The
baseband processor, acting as a master, controls the slave player
with simple commands such as: Play, Pause, Stop, Next, Copy File, Get
File. In case of a call, the player is stopped and any MP3 ring tones
can be activated. The call is directed by the AT83SND2CMP3 to the
earphone or to the speaker. Its low power consumption down to 37 mA
offers longer battery life compared to currently available MP3
decoder solutions.
The AT83SND2CMP3 can also act as a mass storage controller for
NAND Flash, MultiMediaCard (MMC), Xd-Picture Card, Secure Digital,
allowing phones using this chip to play MP3 files or store pictures
from a mobile phone-camera.
"The AT83SND2CMP3 converts your mobile phone into a versatile,
portable multimedia player," said Bernard Bancelin, Marketing Manager
of Audio Line at Atmel. "You can quickly create two products in one:
a mobile phone and a pen drive. It can be implemented in less than a
month by adding basic commands to the baseband protocol. While other
MP3 decoder suppliers offer more expensive solutions, Atmel lets
mobile phone manufacturers eliminate the MIDI generator and combine
USB-Disk, MP3 Player and MMC/SD Card Reader into the same housing for
only an extra dollar," he added.
The 9mm x 9mm BGA 100-pin package allows it to easily fit into the
limited space of mobile phone systems.
The AT83SND2CMP3 is available in industrial temperature range.
Pricing in 500,000-unit quantities is US$3.85.
