A²Bオーディオ・バス・ソリューション

Value and Benefits

The A²B Audio Bus has been developed to simplify design and reduce the overall system cost of next-generation audio systems.

From a wiring infrastructure perspective, A²B’s daisy-chain topology can reduce total wiring cost/weight by up to 75% when compared to traditional analog approaches. Additionally, its industry-leading bus power capability (up to 50W) eliminates the need for dedicated PWR/GND lines to remote nodes–while also removing costly local power supplies at remote nodes.

From a software perspective, the typical A²B implementation requires no software overhead after initial bus discovery. This eliminates the need for expensive microcontrollers and external memory that are required by competing digital bus protocols.

Finally, from a time to market standpoint, the A²B Audio Bus solution is supported by a broad array of low-cost evaluation boards and full featured debug/emulator systems designed to facilitate all stages of program development–from proof of concept and debug to final system test, verification, and validation.
