When plugged into a LaunchPad Development Kit, the BOOSTXL-AUDIO Audio BoosterPack Plug-in Module can capture audio input from a microphone and output audio through an on-board speaker. Headphone input and output is also supported. This audio input/output stream lets developers experiment with the digital signal processing (DSP) and filtering capabilities of the microcontroller (MCU) found on the attached LaunchPad Development Kit.

There are various options – selectable by a jumper on the BoosterPack – for connecting the speaker to the Launchpad’s MCU: (1) output audio data over SPI to the SPI DAC provided on the Audio BoosterPack; (2) directly connecting to the DAC on the LaunchPad’s MCU (if available); or (3) use the LaunchPad's PWM output together with a basic R/C filter on the BoosterPack, to create a simple, low-cost analog audio signal.

Features:

• High quality audio playback with onboard 14-bit DAC (can be bypassed if target MCU has an integrated DAC)
• Automatic switching from onboard speakers and microphone to a headset with microphone
• Onboard microphone supports sampling rates of up to 20kHz
