Evatronix Optimizes its I2S Audio Interface Controller by Adding TDM Support and Single Channel Operation
The silicon intellectual property (IP) provider, Evatronix SA, announced today the introduction of the I2S-SC controller IP. It is compatible with the Philips I2S specification and all its modes; however, it reduces the number of supported channels from eight to one and introduces the Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) mechanism for more efficient multi-channel handling.
MostThe I2S-SC controller features over a dozen configurable parameters that let the user further adjust the IP to his application needs. The most significant options are: serial clock and word select polarities, audio channel width, data delay, the size of external FIFO and the sample bits order.
For easy implementation into a variety of system bus interfaces, the I2S-SC features the universal OCP socket and a set of wrappers for the most common bus architectures – AHB, APB and PLB.
