AudioCodec::begin
DescriptionConfigure and start the audio codec for transmit and receive operation.
Syntax
void begin(bool input, bool output);
Parameters
input: enable audio codec data input. output: enable audio codec data output.
Returns
The function returns nothing.
Example Code
Example: BasicInputOutput
Notes and Warnings
NA
AudioCodec::end
DescriptionStop all audio codec operation.
Syntax
void end(void);
Parameters
The function requires no input parameter.
Returns
The function returns nothing.
Example Code
NA
Notes and Warnings
NA
AudioCodec::getBufferPageSize
DescriptionGet the byte size of a single page of the audio codec buffer.
Syntax
uint32_t getBufferPageSize(void);
Parameters
The function requires no input parameter.
Returns
The size of a audio codec buffer page, in number of bytes.
Example Code
NA
Notes and Warnings
The AudioCodec class includes a transmit and receive buffer to store audio sample data while transferring to and from the DAC output and ADC input. The buffer is divided into pages of fixed size, and audio data can be read and written one page at a time. Depending on the configured bit depth (bits per audio sample) and channel count, a buffer page may contain a different number of audio samples.
AudioCodec::setSampleRate
DescriptionConfigure the audio codec transmit and receive sampling rate.
Syntax
void setSampleRate(uint32_t sampleRate);
Parameters
sampleRate: desired audio codec sampling rate in Hz. Default value of 48000. Supported values: 8000, 16000, 32000, 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000.
Returns
The function returns nothing.
Example Code
Example: BasicInputOutput
Notes and Warnings
High sample rates above 48000Hz will require frequent buffer reads and writes to keep up with the large amount of data input and output. If there is insufficient processing time dedicated to this task, audio quality will be degraded.
AudioCodec::setBitDepth
DescriptionConfigure the audio codec transmit and receive bit depth (bits per sample).
Syntax
void setBitDepth(uint8_t bitDepth);
Parameters
bitDepth: desired number of bits per sample. Default value of 16. Supported values: 8, 16, 24.
Returns
The function returns nothing.
Example Code
NA
Notes and Warnings
Setting a bit depth of 24 bits per sample will require 32 bits (4 bytes) of buffer space for storing each sample, with the most significant byte ignored.
AudioCodec::setChannelCount
DescriptionConfigure the audio codec transmit and receive channel count.
Syntax
void setChannelCount(uint8_t monoStereo);
Parameters
monoStereo: number of channels. Default value of 1. Supported values: 1, 2.
Returns
The function returns nothing.
Example Code
Example: BasicInputOutput
Notes and Warnings
NA
AudioCodec::setInputMicType
DescriptionConfigure for analog or digital input microphone type.
Syntax
void setInputMicType(Mic_Type micType);
Parameters
micType: Input microphone type. Default value ANALOGMIC. Valid values: – ANALOGMIC – microphone with an analog output – PDMMIC – digital microphone with a PDM output
Returns
The function returns nothing.
Example Code
NA
Notes and Warnings
For analog single-ended output, connect to PA_4 for the left channel and PA_2 for the right channel. For digital PDM output, connect the PDM clock to PB_1 and PDM data to PB_2.
AudioCodec::setInputLRMux
DescriptionConfigure input left right channel multiplexing.
Syntax
void setInputLRMux(uint32_t mux);

Returns
The function returns nothing.
Example Code
NA
Notes and Warnings
In mono channel mode, both RX_CH_LR and RX_CH_LL will result in the audio codec sampling input data from the left channel microphone. Similarly, both RX_CH_RL and RX_CH_RR will result in the audio codec sampling input data from the right channel microphone. In stereo channel mode, RX_CH_RL will switch the positions of input data sampled from the microphones. RX_CH_RR and RX_CH_LL will result in duplicated samples from the right and left microphones respectively.
AudioCodec::setDMicBoost
DescriptionConfigure boost gain for digital microphone input.
Syntax
void setDMicBoost(uint32_t leftBoost, uint32_t rightBoost);
Parameters
leftBoost: boost gain for left channel digital microphone input rightBoost: boost gain for right channel digital microphone input Valid boost gain values: – 0 : 0dB – 1 : 12dB – 2 : 24dB – 3 : 36dB
