Description
VIA Technologies’ VT1616TM 20-bit
¦∆ audio
codec conforms to the AC’97 2.2 and S/PDIF
Output specifications.
The VT1616 integrates
Sample Rate Converters on all channels andcan be
adjusted in 1Hz increments. There is a provision in
hardware for down-mixing the 6 channels into
stereo when only two endpoints are available. The
analog
mixer
circuitry
integrates
a
stereo
enhancement to provide a pleasing 3D surround
sound effect for stereo media.
This codec is
designed with aggressive power management to
achieve low power consumption. When usedwith a
3.3V analog supply, power consumption is further
reduced. The primary applications for this part are
desktop
and
portable
personal
computers
multimedia subsystems. However, it is suitable for
any system requiring 6-channel audio output for
home theater systems at competitive prices.
