New HiFi EP for Home Entertainment and Smartphones

Building on the success of its HiFi 2 Audio DSP, the leading architecture for audio in SOC designs, Tensilica today introduced HiFi EP, a superset of the HiFi 2 architecture that is optimized for simultaneous multichannel codec support and/or continuously expanding audio pre and post processing in home entertainment products such as Blu-ray Disc players, digital television (DTV), and Smartphones. It has also been enhanced for very efficient, high-quality voice pre-and post-processing. These enhancements result in up to 40 percent lower power and up to a 50 percent size reduction. Tensilica will be demonstrating its HiFi EP Audio DSP (digital signal processing) Engine in booth 7C35 at the Mobile World Congress, February 15-18, 2010 in Barcelona, Spain.
