# ESP_AUDIO_CODEC

Espressif Audio Codec (ESP_AUDIO_CODEC) is the official audio encoding and decoding processing module developed by Espressif Systems for SoCs. 

The ESP Audio Encoder provides a common encoder interface that allows you to register multiple encoders, such as AAC, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, ADPCM, G711A, G711, PCM, OPUS. You can create one or multiple encoder handles using the same set of function interfaces, enabling simultaneous encoding. This interface is convenient and easy to use.

# Performance

The following results were obtained through testing with ESP32-S3R8 and internal RAM memory.    

## Encoder 

AAC     
| Sample Rate (Hz)    | Memory (KB) | CPU loading (%)|
|       --            |  --         |     --         |  
|       8000          |  52         |    3.5         | 
|       11025         |  52         |    4.9         | 
|       12000         |  52         |    5.6         | 
|       16000         |  52         |    6.0         | 
|       22050         |  52         |    8.1         | 
|       24000         |  52         |    8.2         | 
|       32000         |  52         |    12.1        | 
|       44100         |  52         |    15.7        | 
|       48000         |  52         |    16.4        | 
|       64000         |  52         |    20.2        | 
|       88200         |  52         |    25.9        | 
|       96000         |  52         |    27.7        |      

Note:       
    The CPU loading values in the table pertain to the mono channel, while the CPU loading for the dual channel is approximately 1.6 times that of the mono channel.   

AMR     
| Type    | Memory (KB)  | CPU loading (%) |
|   --    |  --          |     --          |  
|  AMR-NB |  3.4         |    24.8         | 
|  AMR-WB |  5.8         |    57.6         |     

Note:   
    1) The CPU loading in the table is an average number.       
    2) The CPU loading of AMR is related to the bitrate. The higher the bitrate is set, the higher the CPU loading will be.     

ADPCM     
| Channel | Memory (B)    | CPU loading (%) |
|   --    |  --           |     --          |  
|  mono   |  120          |    < 2          | 
|  dual   |  120          |    < 4          | 

G711     
| Type    | Memory (B)    | CPU loading (%) |
|   --    |  --           |     --          |  
|  G711-A |  40           |    < 4          | 
|  G711-U |  40           |    < 4          | 

Note:   
    The CPU loading in the table is for mono, and the CPU loading of dual is about 2 times that of mono.     

OPUS
| Sample Rate (Hz)     | Memory (KB) | CPU loading (%) |
|       --             |  --         |     --          |  
|       8000           |  43         |    15.9         | 
|       12000          |  43         |    16.7         | 
|       16000          |  43         |    16.8         | 
|       24000          |  43         |    17.8         | 
|       48000          |  43         |    19.9         | 

Note:   
    1) The data in the table is tested under the configuration with mono channel, complexity of 1, VoIP application mode, and a frame duration of 20 ms.    
    2) The dual channel encoding consumes about 13 KB more memory compared to the mono channel.     
    3) The CPU loading for the dual channel is about 1.6 times that of the mono channel.     
    4) The chosen complexity level directly impacts CPU loading, with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest.
