T2M Bluetooth LC3plus Audio Codec

LC3plus Audio Codec

Description and Features

The LC3plus audio codec is a highly optimized and highly efficient audio codec introduced for Bluetooth LE Audio, DECT and VoIP that dramatically improves streaming audio quality, reduces power, improves bandwidth and delivers ultra-low latency down to 5ms. The LC3plus audio codec has also received the Hi-Res Audio Wireless certification logo issued by the Japan Audio Society (JAS) for its ability to reproduce 40KHz frequencies when running at 96KHz with 24bit samples.

 

Our LC3plus and LC3 audio codecs are fixed point production proven implementations supporting all mandatory and optional features

LC3 Codec Development Status

The LC3 Codec Design is ready to license and available for the following  CPUs/DSPs

  • ARM® M4
  • RISC-V
  • HiFi® 3/5
  • Qualcomm® Kalimba™ DSP
  • Proprietary DSPs*

In addition to LC3plus, a new technology the High-Definition Mobile Audio (HDMA) will be introduced next year. HDMA is poised to further elevate the audio quality and capabilities of LC3plus, promising even more immersive and superior audio experiences.
