HD audio CODEC integrates Class-D amplifier

Conexant Systems Inc. (Irvine, CA) announced the CX20952, a new HD Audio CODEC that enables high quality audio on computers and tablets with low power consumption, two cap-free headphone amplifiers, and a fully-integrated Class-D amplifier. Part of the company’s AudioSmart family, the new CX20952 is also an intelligent device: a single-chip solution that monitors power delivered to speakers, ensuring maximum sound pressure level (SPL) and optimal performance without damage to system components. With two cap-free HP/Line outputs and a universal jack that automatically detects and configures itself to support CTIA (Apple) or OMTP (Nokia) style headsets, Conexant’s CX20952 solution delivers the following for low-power, small form factor devices:

• Support for multiple peripheral types (headphones, headsets, powered speakers, microphones and line-in devices) with a single 3.5-mm audio jack.
• Support for an additional direct-drive headphone output on a docking station or second jack panel.
• Loud, clear audio playback from small speakers in space-limited enclosures (typical of today’s compact industrial designs).
