“New digital connectivity in mobile devices, including the
Lightning-based interface, is creating opportunities for OEMs to
innovate in product design and is accelerating the transition from
analog- to digital-connected products within today’s billion-unit
headset and headphone market,” said Carl Alberty, vice president of
Audio Products Marketing, Cirrus Logic. “Our MFi reference design
provides a complete high-performance, digital-headset solution and
a reference iOS application to support the rapid development of
these emerging consumer products.”
The MFi Headset Development Kit demonstrates the
advantages of Lightning-connected
headsets over conventional analog headsets. For example,
digital connectivity with an integrated, high-performance
DAC and headphone driver delivers
high-fidelity audio to the headphone speakers. In
addition, Lightning-connected headphones can interact with an iOS
app to create a more custom audio experience, such as personalized
EQ settings.
The Cirrus Logic MFi Headset Development Kit includes a form
factor reference design and a development board for debugging, as
well as MCU programming and audio performance measurement. Both
boards are pre-programmed to support a demonstration of
high-performance digital audio playback and voice capture, enabling
developers to evaluate a prototype within minutes. The design can
be adapted to any headset form factor, including earbuds and
over-the-ear designs.
The Cirrus Logic HiFi MFi Headset Development Kit is available
to MFi licensees through the MFi procurement portal. Please visit
