The ARC Sound Advanced Subsystem is a configurable solution that is preverified to reduce component cost and power while accelerating design time for next-generation consumer products.

The ARC Sound Advanced Subsystem is a configurable solution that is preverified to reduce component cost and power while accelerating design time for next-generation consumer products The ARC Sound Advanced Subsystem combines a library of industry leading audio codecs with ARC's award-winning 128bit SIMD (single instruction multiple data) accelerator, a dedicated dual-channel DMA engine and a configurable ARC 700 family core

In simulated customer results, the subsystem consumed up to 80% less power by operating at a lower frequency and with a smaller size than many competing solutions.

Depending on system-on-chip (SoC) implementation, the ARC Sound Advanced Subsystem can eliminate the need for additional silicon devices, such as dedicated DSPs, further lowering total cost.

The market opportunity for the ARC Sound Advanced Subsystem is considerable.
