AudioAsics’ mixed-signal audio technology enables high-fidelity audio solutions for mobile consumer and communications devices. 

The combination of Analog Devices Inc(ADI)’s signal processing capabilities with AudioAsics’ expertise is expected to result in miniature, low-power audio solutions that provide better sound quality in portable consumer and communications products like MP3 players, cell phones and PDAs.

“From a product and technology perspective, AudioAsics has the bases covered by bringing together the signal conditioning required by high-performance microphones and marrying that with low-power mixed-signal capability, which is a must-have in any portable application,” said Dick Meaney, ADI vice president for Precision Signal Processing. 

“Analog Devices was a natural fit for AudioAsics when we saw how well our analog, digital and mixed-signal processing and IP complemented ADI’s audio signal chain offerings,” said AudioAsics’ CEO, Michael Deruginskyin a press release. “We’re excited about the commitment Analog Devices is making to grow our team and increase our competitive position in the microphone pre-amp marketplace.” 

Audio IC specialist AudioAsics was founded in 2003 in Roskilde, Denmark. The company consists of a team of experienced developers of high-performance, low-power microphone and audio signal conditioning technology. ADI expects to expand its presence in Denmark by creating a center of excellence for low-power audio implementation.
