CS496112-CQZ

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Overview

The CS496112-CQZ is a digital audio networking processor integrating CobraNet technology with a 32-bit fixed-point DSP core. It provides eight simultaneous serial audio inputs and outputs, supporting sample rates up to 96 kHz. The device features selectable network latency of 1.33, 2.66, or 5.33 ms and includes a high-speed parallel host port for system control. Packaged in a 144-pin LQFP, it enables real-time uncompressed audio transmission over Ethernet networks while allowing local audio processing.

• Self-powered loudspeakers

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Part Context

The CS496112-CQZ belongs to the CS4961xx family of audio system processors from Cirrus Logic. This series combines CobraNet technology with DSP capabilities to reduce system costs by eliminating separate dedicated audio DSPs. The family includes variants with 2, 8, and 16 channels; the CS496112 specifically offers 8 input and 8 output channels.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Replacement Considerations

Within the same product family, the CS496102-CQZ provides 2-channel I/O, and the CS496122-CQZ provides 16-channel I/O. These components share the same package and core architecture but differ in channel count.
