SBAS989 April 2019 PCM1840
PRODUCTION DATA.
Digital audio data flows between the host processor and the PCM1840 on the digital audio serial interface (ASI), or audio bus. This highly flexible ASI bus includes a TDM mode for multichannel operation, support for I2S or left-justified protocols format, and the pin-selectable master-slave configurability for bus clock lines.
The device supports audio bus master or slave mode of operation using the hardware pin MSZ. In slave mode, FSYNC and BCLK work as input pins whereas in master mode, FSYNC and BCLK work as output pins generated by the device.Table 1 shows the master and slave mode selection using the MSZ pin.
MSZ | MASTER AND SLAVE SELECTION |
---|---|
LOW | Slave mode of operation |
HIGH | Master ode of operation |
The bus protocol TDM, I2S, or left-justified (LJ) format can be selected by using the FMT0 and FMT1 pins. As shown in Table 2, these modes are all most significant byte (MSB)-first, pulse code modulation (PCM) data format, with the output channel data word-length of 32 bits.
FMT1 | FMT0 | AUDIO SERIAL INTERFACE FORMAT |
---|---|---|
LOW | LOW | 4-channel output with time division multiplexing (TDM) mode |
LOW | HIGH | 2-channel output with time division multiplexing (TDM) mode |
HIGH | LOW | 2-channel output with left-justified (LJ) mode |
HIGH | HIGH | 2-channel output with inter IC sound (I2S) mode |
