USB Library Summary Microchip’s USB software includes royalty-free source code and example projects . It provides support for USB device mode, embedded host and On-The-Go for PIC32 microcontrollers .
File System Library for PIC32 Microcontrollers Summary The File System Library for PIC32 MCUs provides an application programming interface (API) through which a utility or user program requests services of a file system. Some file system APIs may also include interfaces for maintenance operations, such as creating or initializing a file system and verifying the file system for integrity. The File System Library is designed as per the manifesto of MPLAB Harmony.
MP3 Decoder Library Summary MP3 is a compression format for storing digital audio data. It is an audio codec that has the capability to compress the original audio sources with minor loss in sound quality. The higher the compression ratio, the lower the audio quality, which requires designers to perform a delicate balancing act between the file size and audio quality. With the right combination, MP3 encoded data can provide very high-quality audio.
Fixed Point DSP Library Summary Key Features The Fixed Point DSP Library contains building block functions for developing digital signal processing algorithms. The library supports the Q15 and Q31 fractional data formats, which are integer fixed point data types that represent floating point values. The functions are implemented in efficient assembly specifically targeted at the DSP extensions in this core family. The library makes these functions available in a simple C-callable structure.
PIC32 Microcontroller Floating Point Math Library Summary Key Features The optimized PIC32 Math Library is packaged within the MPLAB XC32 Compiler for PIC32 MCUs. The floating‑point math library provided with the compiler has been significantly optimized to take full advantage of the PIC32 MCU instruction set. Single- and double-precision math library functions are now available, giving users a choice between these operations.
PIC32 Microcontroller DSP Library Summary Microchip’s PIC32 DSP Library enables developers to add DSP capabilities to many applications by taking advantage of the highly optimized hardware features inside the PIC32 MCU, including its multiply-accumulate, math unit with parallel execution and two full sets of CPU registers. Additionally, this DSP Library’s use of a RADIX-2 based FFT provides more options for sample size than the RADIX-4 designs.
ADPCM and Speex (Audio) Library for PIC32 Microcontrollers Summary The audio library for PIC32 MCUs consists of APIs for Pulse Code Modulation, Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation and Speex encoding and decoding algorithms. Speex is a Code Excited Linear Prediction (CELP) based, open source, patent-free audio compression format designed for speech. The ADPCM algorithm takes advantage of the high correlation between consecutive speech samples, which enables future sample values to be predicted.
