EZAIRO 8300
Key Features
• High Performance: Best in class MIPS/mW.
• High fidelity audio system: 108 dB system dynamic
range, up to 64 KHz of sampling frequency
• Output drivers: capable of driving multiple types of
speakers.
• Programmable Flexibility: the open−programmable
DSP−based system can be customized to the specific
signal processing needs of manufacturers. Algorithms
and features can be modified or completely new
concepts implemented without having to modify the
chip.
• Versatile Memory Architecture: a total of 1433 kB of
memory, shared between the six programmable or
semi−programmable cores.
• Highly−integrated SoC: the six−core architecture
includes a CFX DSP, an Arm Cortex−M3 Processor, a
HEAR Configurable Accelerator, a programmable
Filter Engine, a LPDSP 32 DSP and a Neural Network
Accelerator. The system also includes an efficient
input/output controller (IOC), system memories, input
and output stages along with a full complement of
peripherals and interfaces.
• CFX DSP: a highly cycle−efficient, programmable
core that uses a 24−bit fixed−point, dual−MAC,
dual−Harvard architecture. The CFX can be used as the
master of the whole Ezairo 8300 SoC.
• Arm Cortex−M3 Processor: a complete subsystem
that can be used as the master of the whole Ezairo 8300
SoC.
• HEAR Configurable Accelerator: a highly optimized
signal processing engine designed to perform common
signal processing operations and complex standard
filterbanks.
• Data Security: sensitive program data can be
encrypted for storage in external NVM to prevent
unauthorized parties from gaining access to proprietary
algorithm and intellectual property.
• Multiple Audio Input Sources: four analog input
channels (AI0 to AI3) that can be used simultaneously
for omni−directional and directional microphones,
telecoils, bone conducting microphones, an input from
a remote control interface, or a direct audio input.
• Signal Detection Mode: ultra−low−power detection
system for signals on any analog inputs.
• High Throughput Communication Interface: fast
2
I C−based and SWJ−DP interfaces for quick download,
debugging and general communication.
• Highly Configurable Interfaces: two PCM interfaces,
2
3
three I C interfaces, two I C interfaces, two SPI
interfaces, a UART interface, an eMMC interface with
custom interface buffering, up to 36 GPIOs and 8
LSAD inputs.
• Programmable Filter Engine: a filtering system that
allows applying a various range of pre− or
post−processing filtering, such as IIR, FIR and biquad
filters.
• LPDSP32: a highly cycle−efficient, programmable
core that uses a 32−bit fixed−point, dual−MAC,
dual−Harvard architecture.
• Neural Network Accelerator (NNA): a configurable
hardware accelerator dedicated to support neural
networks with high energy efficiency.
• Selectable System Clock Speeds: from 2.56 MHz up
to 61.44 MHz, with clock throttling capabilities to
optimize the computing performance versus power
consumption ratio.
• Asynchronous Sample Rate Converter (ASRC):
provides a mean of synchronizing the audio sample rate
between an external radio chip and the Ezairo 8300.
• Two Audio Sink Clock Counters: Can be used to
measure the timing of the frame periods of an external
radio relative to the internal audio sampling rate.
• Fitting Support: support for Microcard, HI−PRO 2,
HI−PRO USB, QuickCom, and NOAHlink, including
NOAHlink’s audio streaming feature.
• Integrated Development Environment (IDE): a
graphical user interface with the capabilities to edit,
build and debug applications. It is the main
programming interface for the Software Development
Kit (SDK).
• Adaptive Voltage Scaling: automatically adjusts the
digital supply voltage (VDDC) level using a critical
path speed measurement block. This feature allows to
optimize the SoC’s power consumption in all situations.
• Ultra−low Delay path: the programmable Filter
Engine supports an ultra−low−delay audio path of min
10.4 ms (analog input to analog output) for features
such as active noise cancellation.
• Ultra−low Power Consumption: <0.7 mA @ 15.24
MHz system clock (CFX 97%, Arm Cortex−M3
processor 40%, HEAR 77%, FENG 9%, 2 ADC @
20 kHz, 1 OD, 1 LSAD)
• Complete C−development tool chain for the CFX
and the LPDSP32. Includes a C−compiler, an
instruction set simulator, an assembler/disassembler, a
linker and the IDE debugger integrated in the Ezairo
8300 SDK.
• Sample Code: The SDK includes several sample
applications and libraries to demonstrate key features of
Ezairo 8300. The libraries are typically provided in
compiled form with source code also available.
