XMOS

XMOSXMOS is a fabless semiconductor company, headquartered in Bristol in the UK. XMOS is a leading supplier of voice and audio solutions that focus on your voice, remove the background noise and enable you to interact with electronics in the most natural way. XMOS’ unique silicon architecture and highly differentiated software delivers class-leading far field voice capture and the highest quality digital multi-channel audio interfaces. VocalFusion voice controllers position XMOS at the interface between embedded voice processing, biometrics and artificial intelligence, with flexible integration to automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems.

XMOS’ xcore is a unique semiconductor platform that enables the most integrated and differentiated solutions purely in software. Applications range in diversity from the highest quality audio to the highest precision motor control. XMOS’ mission is to deliver the most adaptable, efficient and accessible embedded computers for every application. The XMOS processor handles primarily the interfaces, including USB connections, SPDIF/AES-EBU connection and I2S input from the Wi-Fi/Network audio module. All inputs are decoded, pass through a memory buffer, then DSD/DOP decoding is applied and MQA decoding. Also, the entire user interface, display control etc. are handled by the XMOS processor. The part we use is a 16-Core / 2,000 MIPS part.
