PCM2900: Can PCM2900 play audio directly from usb flash drive with out computer?

Part Number: PCM2900

Hi I have a basic question.

I am designing a usb audio player circuit. Will this pcm2900 able to play a music file from a usb flash drive, with out a computer involvement.

I am expecting as soon as i plug in the u disc the music files on the disc should start playing.

If not please suggest other similar ic from TI, do this job. thank you.

  • Hi, Ravi,

    Welcome to E2E, Thanks for your interest in our products!

    The PCM2900 is a USB-Audio codec which is capable of interface with a USB host device for audio playback or recording applications. Unfortunately this device is meant to  operate with a host system as slave, so it cannot be the USB host.

    We do not have an IC which makes this directly, so you will need to use a dedicated processor to read the data and send it to the playback device.
