IC/Module: VS1053 MP3 decoder and encoder module
VS1053 is a multi-functional MP3 decoder chip from the family of VLSI Solutions extensive slave audio processors. It is designed to easily decode multiple audio formats. Just by loading a bit of extra software to the RAM memory, the functionality of this IC can be greatly enhanced. VS1053 is also capable of recording in three different audio formats, from lossless 16-bit PCM to highly compressed, yet high-quality Ogg Vorbis files.
Play Music from microSD Card
The user can directly play audio or voice files stored in the microSD card. The user can implement microcontroller software that prepares MP3 files chunk by chunk and send each chunk for decoding over the same SPI communication lines, with different chip selects for each board.
Power Supply
By default, the MP3 Click Board™ uses a 3.3V power supply. If the user wants to add MP3 capability to a 5V system, try the SmartMP3 board.
