Sound Processor ICs for Car Audio
Overview
Car audio systems require high fidelity. ROHM Ics offer a wide dynamic range, low distortion, and low noise, making them ideal for a wide variety of car audio systems. |

Key Feature 1 : Advanced switching technology eliminates shock noise for high fidelity adjustment
With conventional volume technology the signal waveform becomes momentarily disconnected during adjustment, resulting in shock noise. (Refer to the blue line in the figure at right) ROHM's advanced switching technology eliminates these instantaneous disconnections, smoothing out the signal waveform during adjustment for virtually no shock noise. (Refer to the red line in the figure at right) The BD375 series utilizes proprietary switching technology not only for volume, but for input gain adjustment, tone control, and loudness switching as well. |

Key Feature 2 : Ultra-low loss and distortion for high fidelity audio
The development of high performance internal elements circuitry results in low noise, low distortion sound processors (3.8uVrms slew noise at 0dB input/output gain and 0.001% distortion at 1Vrms input). This ensures high fidelity audio reproduction in automotive systems. |
|
Key Feature 3 : Integrated 2-/3-band parametric equalizer
Until now changing the gain of the equalizer and the target frequency required modification of the external components. ROHM's novel circuit design with integrated programmable parametric equalizer enables the target frequency (fo), equalizer gain, and Q Curve to be controlled via microcontroller without the need for external parts/modifications. |
|
Key Feature 4 : New parametric equalizer for loudness
Vehicles come in all types of shapes and sizes. In order to create a realistic sound stage with high fidelity audio bass correction (utilizing LPF, HPF, and loudness, for example) is required. ROHM has developed a parametric-type loudness function for low-end (bass) correction compatible with vehicles of all types. Control is enabled using a microcontroller via I2C bus. In addition, the target frequency and high-end gain can be freely adjusted, making bass correction possible without requiring external components. |
