PCM2706 USB Interface

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PCM2706

Is it possible to use the PCM2706 circuit  to read MP3 or WAV files from a stand alone USB Flash drive and output them as left and right analogue audio?

  • Hi, Geoff,

    It seems like this is a recurring theme that comes up from time to time here in the community.

    Any members want to share how they have accomplished what Geoff is trying to do?

  • Hello  Don

    Thank you for your response.

    We were hoping that an application engineer at TI itself would be able to answer this fundamental question about a TI product. Is this possible?

    Regards

  • The PCM2706 is a USB audio codec without on-chip processing. It requires a USB host (running a USB class-audio compatible SW stack) as a master (for configuration) and as the audio source/sink.

  • Hi, Geoff,

    This topic has been addressed several times previously. Please see these threads:

    So, as you can see, TI does not have a good solution for this in a simple stand-alone IC.

    I was hoping that someone in the community would chime in and point you in the direction of an IC that does what you want. I have seen many customers in China using ICs to do essentially exactly what you want, but I don't know the manufacturer or part number of that chip.
