Gennum is seeding the development of Bluetooth audio systems with the launch of an audio reference design with an integrated DSP.

Gennum is seeding the development of Bluetooth audio systems with the launch at the Bluetooth Developer Conference of an audio reference design with an integrated DSP, to allow developers to evaluate and test advanced audio signal processing algorithms for wireless headset and similar applications Gennum's reference design adds a DSP to the audio processing features of Gennum's GenBlue module to allow designers to deploy complex algorithms, for example to remove noise and improve signal clarity

Gennum will be demonstrating the reference design using its Frontwave algorithm that combines the outputs of two omnidirectional microphones to create a directional response and reduce background noise.

The open platform DSP technology featured in the Gennum design offers exceptional sound quality and very low power consumption.

The reference design interfaces to CSR's Casira development platform.

Gennum's Bluetooth modules are an exceptionally compact integration of CSR's industry-leading silicon with RF, 8Mbit of Flash, and crystal, and use Gennum's state of the art integrated RF thin film passive chip, high density interconnect and packaging technology.
