The J1 core cell is a remarkably small and efficient audio decoder that manages Dolby Digital, AC-3, and MPEG audio decompression. With a design that occupies only 1.0 sqmm of silicon area using 0.18u CMOS technology, it delivers a robust solution for decoding 5.1 channel dolby bitstreams and supports data rates up to 640kb/s. The J1 produces high-quality stereo outputs, both normal and Pro-Logic compatible, from Dolby Digital and MPEG-encoded audio, ideal for set-top boxes and DVD applications.
