VGA PCAM Chip Integrates Audio ADC

Eliminating the need for multiple chip solutions, the NW812 PC camera (PCAM) IC enables both video and audio capture via the USB port by integrating an audio a/d converter on chip. The device works with existing VGA CMOS sensors to provide frame rates up to 15 fps (VGA) or 30 fps (CIF). The audio a/d converter samples at a rate of 48 kHz to deliver an eight- and 16-bit monophonic output. The NW812 comes in a 100-pin LQFP and is priced at $5.95 each in volume.
