Silicon Labs CP2614 Accessory Digital Audio Bridge chip enables rapid development of accessories for Apple iOS devices, with built-in support for the “Made for iPod” accessory protocol using the Lightning connector. CP2614 requires no firmware development – customers simply select their customization options with an easy-to-use GUI configuration tool. CP2614 is an ideal solution for audio accessories as well as “appcessories” (accessories that communicate with a companion iOS application), providing turnkey support for both product categories. CP2614 is highly-integrated, requiring no external crystal or EEPROM. In addition, CP2614 is optimized for low-power operation, simplifying development of accessories that draw power from the iOS device.
Note: requires the MFI-SL-CP2614-EK from Silicon Labs. Visit www.silabs.com/mfi-digital-audio-bridge for more information.
