companies featuring superior audio performance, greater stability
and a single-chip integrated design, it is a very attractive and
competitive offering for the mid- to high-end Bluetooth voice and
audio market.
The ATS282X includes a variety of serial controllers supporting
I2S, I2C,SPDIF TX, SPI, UART, PWM, internal LED/segment LCD
hardware and software driver, internal Aux in and Dual microphones,
internal touch key and remote control, and an internal RTC circuit
that supports clock, alarm and calendar functions. The ATS282X
features an internal echo cancellation and noise suppression
algorithm, while Bluetooth BLE support allows for improved energy
efficiency and a longer battery life.
"The latest addition to our family of Bluetooth 4.0 chipsets,
the ATS282X, combines an integrated solution with a high quality
stereo experience and low power consumption at a very attractive
BOM cost. We are excited to showcase this new product at the
International CES 2015 and believe that it will garner a great deal
of attention from mid- to high-end Bluetooth stereo speaker,
boombox and headphone manufacturers," said Dr. Zhenyu Zhou, CEO of Actions Semiconductor. "The
Bluetooth voice and audio market is experiencing explosive growth,
with shipments expected to reach more than 20 million units per
