AMR Narrowband Speech Codec
for Xtensa HiFi 2 Audio Engine

Tensilica’s AMR Narrowband Codec Application Package

The AMR Narrowband codec package for the Xtensa HiFi 2 Audio Engine implements AMR narrowband (NB) speech decoding and encoding and is fully compliant with the 3GPP specification for the AMR NB codec. The codec is a fixed-point implementation written in C and available in either object or source code. Included documentation describes how to incorporate the decoder into a system. Using this package, system developers can integrate an AMRNB codeci nto an SOC without the need for additional optimizations or software development. The same Xtensa HiFi 2 Audio Engine is used for other Tensilica audio codecs, enabling the development of highly optimized multi-standard audio SOC designs.
