The CAST ASRC (Audio Sample Rate Converter) is a compact, high-performance IP core that delivers precise digital audio conversion across a wide range of sample rates (8 kHz to 192kHz) while preserving signal integrity and minimizing distortion. Supporting both asynchronous and synchronous modes, it ensures seamless real-time streaming or high-speed batch processing for applications in professional audio, broadcast, telecommunications, automotive infotainment, gaming, and VR. The ASRC handles tens to hundreds of TDM channels, achieving ultra-low distortion with THD+N averaging -130 dB. With sub-100ms sync time and minimal latency, it provides transparent, studio-grade 24-bit audio conversion. Designed for easy integration into ASICs or FPGAs, it features AXI4-Stream for audio data, AXI-Lite/APB control interfaces, and optimized resource usage for cost-sensitive environments. Deliverables include Verilog RTL/netlist, testbenches, drivers, and documentation for r...
