 Advantech's
new PC/104 audio module brings the industry standard SoundBlaster
Pro™ and Windows Sound System™ compatibility to embedded
systems using a PC/104 ISA bus. The PCM-3201 is a cost effective,
low-power/low-noise, ruggedized solution that can satisfy the
most diverse audio needs. Not only does it provide great sound,
it also gives the flexibilty and expandibility system integrators
need to function in the most challenging embedded applications.
The PCM-3201
employs the ALS120 chip that are industry standard music
synthsizers found in most PC audio boards. The PCM-3201 brings
cost-effective Wave Table Synthesis capability to the PC/104 form
factor, a significant improvement over the traditional Frequency
Modulation (FM) synthesis most commonly used (the PCM-3201 also
has a D/A converter with Avance Logic proprietary FM synthesis
support). The ALS120 chip integrates audio CODEC, DOS games capability
and other features, plus, minimizes support and installation issues.
