The MAS 3504D is a single-chip codec for use in memory-based voice recording and playback applications. Due to embedded memories, the embedded DC/DC up-converter, and the very low power consumption, the MAS 3504D is ideally suited for portable electronics.

The MAS 3504D implements a voice encoder and decoder that is compliant to the ITU Standard G.729 Annex A. This standard works on 8 kHz, 16 bit, mono audio data that is compressed to 1 bit per audio sam ple. One second of compressed audio data uses 1000 bytes of memory.

Features
