Audio Solutions for Hearables and Wearables

Audio Solutions for Hearables and Wearables
Low-power audio is becoming a popular alternative to power-hungry visual displays on battery-powered devices, such as hearables and wearables. With extensive history and expertise in high-fidelity audio, low-power electronics, and battery management, Analog Devices provides you with the audio solutions you need to embrace this trend.
Value and Benefits
We offer a broad portfolio of codec and Class-D audio solutions that deliver top performance and unrivalled signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) optimized for hearables and wearables. Our speaker amplifiers offer output power levels from less than 1 W to 50 W. Innovative packaging technology provides the smallest Class AB and Class-D amplifiers available with design solutions that require minimal configuration. Our Dynamic Speaker Management™ (DSM) smart amplifiers combine high-performance current and voltage (IV) sense amplifiers with a patented DSM algorithm to create louder and richer microspeaker sound. Finally, our battery management solutions enable low-power operations that extend run time and overall longevity for hearable and wearable technology.
In terms of software, we provide a wide range of programming capabilities (such as SigmaStudio®) and an extensive algorithm library, featuring offerings from us and third parties.
