➀ Microchip Technology introduces a comprehensive audio-to-haptic reference design tailored for next-generation VR, AR, and gaming devices. This design provides immersive haptic feedback by converting audio input into tactile sensations.
➁ The system features a low-voltage board containing a Bluetooth module (BM83) for wireless synchronization of stereo audio and a microcontroller with DSP for processing and conditioning audio signals. A high-voltage board with amplifiers and a Boost regulator drives up to four haptic actuators.
➂ The reference design is pre-programmed with firmware for immediate use and offers flexibility for customization. It supports battery-powered applications, making it ideal for portable VR and gaming devices.
