Sample Rate Conversion (SRC) Library

Summary
The Sample Rate Conversion (SRC) library, which can be used with Microchip’s PIC32 and dsPIC family of devices, provides the ability to convert the sampling rate of real-time stereo audio data to select common high-quality audio sample rates. It is designed for streaming audio applications and can be used with analog front ends like audio DACs or CODECs with limited sample rate capability. The library supports both 16-bit and 24-bit input data resolution for PIC32 devices and supports 16-bit input data resolution for dsPIC devices.

The 16-bit and 24-bit library supports the following modes:
• Up conversion from sample rate of 44.1 kHz to 48 kHz
• Up conversion from sample rate of 32 kHz to 48 kHz

In addition, the 24-bit library supports the following mode as well:
• Down conversion from sample rate of 48 kHz to 44.1 kHz

The SRC library is available at the bottom of the page as installers for PIC32 or dsPIC along with the relevant user’s guide.

Description
The incoming audio data passes through an upsampler/ interpolation stage. The signal then passes through an anti-aliasing low-pass filter followed by a downsampler or decimation stage. The algorithm is optimized for MIPS by using the polyphase filtering algorithm. The figure below shows the various blocks of the SRC algorithm.
