Airoha Technology Manufacturer Skill
Company Overview
Airoha Technology is a MediaTek subsidiary specializing in Bluetooth audio solutions for TWS (True Wireless Stereo) earbuds, ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) headphones, and premium audio applications.
MPN Structure
Airoha MPNs follow this general structure:
[PREFIX][SERIES][MODEL][-PACKAGE]

| +-- Series number (55, 56, 57, 58)
+-- AB15 prefix (Airoha Bluetooth 15xx)
Example Decoding
AB1552
| |||
| ||+-- 2 = Model variant (basic TWS)
| |+-- 5 = TWS earbud series
| +-- 15 = Bluetooth 1.5 generation
+-- AB = Airoha Bluetooth
AB1562-QFN
| ||| |
| ||| +-- QFN = QFN package
| ||+-- 2 = Model variant
| |+-- 6 = ANC series
| +-- 15 = Generation
+-- AB = Airoha Bluetooth
AB1575
| |||
| ||+-- 5 = Premium variant
| |+-- 7 = Premium audio series
| +-- 15 = Generation
+-- AB = Airoha Bluetooth

Handler Implementation Notes
Pattern Matching
// AB155x Series - TWS earbuds
"^AB155[0-9].*"
// AB156x Series - ANC earbuds
"^AB156[0-9].*"
// AB157x Series - Premium audio
"^AB157[0-9].*"
// AB158x Series - Ultra-low power
"^AB158[0-9].*"
// Generic pattern for all AB15xx
"^AB15[5-8][0-9].*"
Package Code Extraction
// Check for hyphenated suffix first
String[] parts = upperMpn.split("-");
if (parts.length > 1) {
String suffix = parts[parts.length - 1];
// Map: QFN, BGA, CSP, WLCSP, FCBGA
}
// Check for inline package indicators
if (upperMpn.contains("QFN")) return "QFN";
if (upperMpn.contains("BGA")) return "BGA";
Series Extraction
// Extract first 6 characters (e.g., AB1562)
// Validate matches AB15[5-8][0-9] pattern
if (result.matches("^AB15[5-8][0-9].*")) {
return result.substring(0, 6);
}
Bluetooth Version Inference
// Infer BT version from series
if (mpn.startsWith("AB158")) return "5.3";
if (mpn.startsWith("AB157")) return "5.2";
if (mpn.startsWith("AB156")) return "5.2";
if (mpn.startsWith("AB155")) return "5.0";
Replacement Compatibility
Within-Series Replacements
Higher model numbers within a series can typically replace lower ones:
- AB1558 can replace AB1552 (more features)
- AB1568 can replace AB1562 (better ANC)
Cross-Series Restrictions
Different series target different applications and are NOT interchangeable:
- AB156x (ANC) should NOT replace AB155x (basic TWS)
- AB157x (premium) should NOT replace AB155x (basic TWS)
Feature Compatibility Rules
- If target requires ANC, replacement must support ANC
- If target requires premium audio, replacement must support it
- Higher Bluetooth version can replace lower version
Application Guidelines
| Use Case | Recommended Series | |----------|-------------------| | Budget TWS earbuds | AB155x | | Mid-range ANC earbuds | AB156x | | Premium headphones | AB157x | | Long-battery earbuds | AB158x |

Learnings & Edge Cases
- MediaTek subsidiary: Airoha is owned by MediaTek, some parts may have MTK cross-references
- Series determines features: AB155x vs AB156x vs AB157x have fundamentally different capabilities
- Package suffix optional: Many MPNs don't include package code
- Bluetooth version tied to series: Cannot upgrade BT version without changing series
- ANC compatibility critical: Never substitute non-ANC for ANC-required applications
- Model numbering: Higher model number within series = more features/better performance
