The desire for louder, higher quality audio output from consumer devices continues to increase. People are consuming content using mobile phones, truly wireless headsets, wearables, tablets and small laptops as well as playing video games on virtual reality headsets. Even the smallest of connected devices, like smart watches, are providing differentiation by integrating speakers and microphones that enable users to make voice calls without a smartphone.

Protection algorithms allow pushing the limits of microspeakers

Cirrus Logic’s boosted amplifiers improve the overall system performance while driving high-quality audio output from tiny microspeakers. Our amplifiers feature advanced boost technology that increases the voltage used to drive the transducers, while proprietary speaker protection algorithms allow these boosted amplifiers to push the limits of the speakers without causing damage. An advanced battery management system and predictive algorithms adapt to changing audio, speaker and battery conditions to minimize impact on the battery without sacrificing audio performance.

Laptop Audio

Cirrus Logic’s smart amplifier technology is setting the new standard for sound quality in the audio systems of the thinner, lighter, more flexible PC notebooks being introduced in today’s marketplace. This means an immersive audio experience that is louder, has more bass and delivers sound that is high-quality, clear and consistent. These amplifiers can safely drive up to three times the sound pressure from typical laptop speakers compared to basic amplifiers, while providing three times the bass.
