The VPE15100 software tool provides easy evaluation of the ISD15100 family and helps users
create the ISD15100 binary image file. It serves three main purposes: (1) To create scenarios in a
user-defined memory structure; (2) To ease the hassle of configuring the ISD15100 signal paths,
volume controls, AGC, I2S…etc; (3) To provide complete evaluation of compression algorithms.
The ISD15100 offers several compression algorithms at various bit rates and sampling
frequencies to fit various applications’ needs. The algorithms include Enhanced ADPCM, VBR
(variable bit rate) ADPCM, uLaw, DuLaw (differential uLaw) and PCM.
The VPE15100 provides a powerful index-based Voice Prompt and Voice Macro Editor for script
programming, which can be updated on the ISD15100 without the need of updating the code on
the host microcontroller as no absolute addresses are used. The path view in the Configuration
screen makes it easy to configure signal paths for Record from various inputs or Playback to
various outputs of the ISD15100. The Reserved Message/User Data screen allows user to reserve
memory area for future message recording or for digital data storage. The VPE15100 also
generates binary image file (contains audio data and script programming), which can be burned
into ISD15100 memory.
The VPE15100 is a GUI-based program run in Microsoft Windows
Getting Started
Your evaluation kit should contain the following:
Equipment requirements:
1.1
The EV board can be operated standalone or controlled by VPE. To operate standalone, make sure
the VPE project is properly downloaded into the board; the playback path setting should be done in
users’ PU macro (VM1). Attach the keypad onto HJ1 and insert 3 AAA batteries into the battery
holder underneath the board. The USB controller will power-on and reset the ISD15108 in 3 seconds.
Press the buttons to:
