ADVANCE INFORMATION
The standard I2S protocol is defined for only two channels: left and right. The device extends the same protocol timing for multichannel operation. In I2S mode, the MSB of the left slot 0 is transmitted on the falling edge of BCLK in the second cycle after the falling edge of FSYNC. Immediately after the left slot 0 data transmission, the remaining left slot data are transmitted in order. The MSB of the right slot 0 is transmitted on the falling edge of BCLK in the second cycle after the rising edge of FSYNC. Immediately after the right slot 0 data transmission, the remaining right slot data are transmitted in order. FSYNC and each data bit is transmitted on the falling edge of BCLK. Figure 7-6 to Figure 7-9 illustrate the protocol timing for I2S operation with various configurations.
For proper operation of the audio bus in I2S mode, the number of bit clocks per frame must be greater than or equal to the number of active output channels (including left and right slots) times the programmed word length of the output channel data. The device FSYNC low pulse must be several BCLK cycles wide that is greater than or equal to the number of active left slots times the data word length configured. Similarly, the FSYNC high pulse must be several BCLK cycles wide that is greater than or equal to the number of active right slots times the data word length configured.
