Selecting a processor for 5.1 USB Audio
Posted: Fri Oct 27, 2017 7:08 am
Hello and greetings!
I am new to the XMOS suite. I'm trying to select a processor for building a 5.1channel USB interface and have been going through the literature on the website. My application will use 24 bit audio at 48kHz sampling rate, and budgets are tight so I need something which does the job without too many bells and whistles.
I can see that the Multichannel Audio Platform uses a XE216-512-TQ128 chip; however I have a very basic question here - are all the XCORE-200 XU/USB processors capable of handing 6 audio channels (not worrying about performance per se), and therefore the configuration depends only on the firmware programming? I looked at XCORE-HiRes which boasts of multichannel support but it appears only a 2-channel version is available on Digikey.
Thanks for any advice or pointers!
