RTL8763B – BLUETOOTH DUAL MODE AUDIO SOC

General Description

The RT8763B series are single-chip Bluetooth ROM audio solutions for mono (RTL8763BM) and stereo (RTL8763BF/BFR, RTL8763BS, RTL8763BA) applications. The RT8763B is composed of an ARM core and an ultra-low power DSP core with high efficiency computing power, high performance audio codec, power management unit, ADC, ultra-low current RF transceiver, and smart I/O distribution controller.

The parameter configuration tools, the EVB kits, and the MP kits, including controller hardware and software, provide a simple and flexible procedure for customers to quickly design and proceed to mass production with Realtek’s new generation of audio solutions. These complete total solutions provide a fast and highly reliable development path with a very competitive R-BOM.
