PCI 8CH Integrated Sound Chip

1. Description and Overview


CMI8768 is the first high performance (SNR~100dB) 8CH PCI integrated sound chip compatible with PCI
V.2.2 specification in the world. With 16bit/96K digital/analog playback capability and versatile driver
support, CMI8768 is designed delicately for advanced consumer PC sound card/media
center/mainboard/desktop/embedded system/server audio applications. Through integrating a
full-duplex 8/2 CODEC and S/PDIF transmitter/receiver, CMI8768 consequently saves much BOM cost for
customers. CMI8768, bundled with C-Media friendly and high add-on value driver, provides the most
economic and ideal audio solution with the best value-price ratio.

Integrated S/PDIF transmitter can deliver 5.1 Dolby® Digital/DTS® , or 6.1/7.1 Dolby® Digital Surround
EX/DTS ES DVD soundtracks and up-to-96KHz high-definition audio stream to external receiver satisfying
audio enthusiasts and pioneers. The S/PDIF-Out data can meet the requirement of SCMS (Serial Copy
Management System) for digital content serial copy protection legislated by consumer audio industry.
CMI8768 also supports MPU-401 MIDI port for external musical instrument input.
