Hsinchu, Taiwan, Jun. 11, 2012 —After the success of first M0-based NuVoice™, Nuvoton Technology Corporation today introduced the second NuVoice™—N572F072. The N572F072 is the enhanced N572 series from N572F064/F065, the first Cortex™-M0 based processor for voice applications. It runs up to 48MHz and equipped with 72KB flash and 8KB SRAM for high performance processing of audio and voice algorithms. Integrating rich analog peripherals, like pre-amplifier, ADC, DAC, hardware mixer, and PA, this chip saves a lot of system design effort and cost.

To unfold the high performance M0 and high density of SRAM, advanced algorithms are designed, optimized, and tested in N572 chip. These algorithms include voice changer, low-bit rate compression, beat detection, pitch shift, and more under development. In addition to algorithms developed by Nuvoton, we also seek third parties for more interesting software to enrich the applications on N572.

With the NVIC in M0, the latency of interrupt and response time to external events is very short and predictable. Multiple algorithms can be run together smoothly and naturally.

The development tools are based on Keil™ MDK using C/C++ programming language. This is a robust and easy-to-use environment for development and debugging. Features in Keil™ MDK are compiler, debugger, and profiler. With the Nu-Link™ and evaluation board, the overall system, including HW and SW, can work seamlessly in the system testing and verification. With this full featured development environment and tools, users can design and build application software in an efficient way and get optimized code that can best realize customers’ idea on N572.
