The CODEC also provides a power efficient stereo Class D speaker driver and Class G headphone driver along with powerful headset detection circuitry, which supports jack insertion / ejection, microphone detection, distinct key / short key / long key / key release detection, microphone presence detection, speaker impedance detection, headphone crosstalk detection & suppression.

The advanced on-chip signal processing engine that includes programmable dynamic range compressors (DRC), 5-band parametric equalizer (PEQ), and high pass and notch filter blocks, can maximize audio quality and eliminate any undesirable frequency components.

With its very low power consumption in all key areas, highly flexible power management configuration options, advanced graphical evaluation system and reference audio CODEC driver for Android and Windows OS, the NAU88L24 simplifies designers’ efforts and gets their products to market quickly.
