New ARM720T 90 MHz Embedded Processor
Allows Faster than Real-Time Recording

The EP7312-90 is one of the worlds fastest ARM-7 embedded processors today—with clock speeds of up to 90 MHz, it allows for real-time MP3 encoding, as well as decoding for all major digital music standards. The EP7312-90 also supports WMA, MP3, and AAC playback. With faster than real-time MP3 encoding capability, the need for a personal computer to create digital audio content is eliminated. Now, manufacturers can easily build portable rotating media and flash-based audio players that record and store CD/MP3 data during playback—more than ten hours of music content to be stored on a single CD-RW disc.
