IC packaging partnership proves a success
IC packaging leader Advanced Semiconductor Engineering has announced its commitment to Ansoft's HFSS, Q3D Extractor and AnsoftLinks simulation products for IC packaging design and model extraction.
The software is designed specifically to be embedded into fixed-point integer 32bit CPU designs such as those based on ARM or MIPS.
The ME2000 provides engineers with a flexible architecture that can be tuned for sound quality, memory requirements, and CPU usage.
Software engineers and product designers can quickly and easily embed the software audio engine in their embedded device to add the ability to playback song clips or entire songs.
Fast integration time and reduced development time lead to significant cost reductions.
Mobileer's introduction of the ME2000 uses the higher memory capacity of today's mobile devices to provide increased realism for acoustic instruments like piano and violin.
Other instruments like bells and pads are best created using synthesis without wavetables.
According to Phil Burk, Vice President Technology and Founder of Mobileer: "We combine the best of both worlds, synthesis and wavetables.
The ME2000 combines wavetable sound generation with the pure synthesis techniques of the ME1000.
This allows us to choose the best solution for each individual instrument, providing high sound quality while still maintaining a small memory footprint." The ME2000 uses the ME1000 core architecture and achieves significant cost savings over specialised chips.
The product has also been designed to be highly customisable.
The ME-Series products include a set of custom ringtones composed exclusively for Mobileer by professional artists.
