Inter-Integrated-Circuit Sound (I2S) Controller
Figure 14-1 and Figure 14-2 provide timing diagrams that show formats for I
2
S and MSB-justified
modes of operations.
Data is transmitted and received in frames of 64 BITCLK cycles. Each frame consists of a Left
sample and a Right sample. Each frame holds 16-bits of valid sample data (shown in the figures)
and 16-bits of padded zeros (not shown in the figures). The transmit and receive FIFOs only hold
valid sample data (not padded zero data).
In the Normal I
2
S mode, the SYNC is low for the Left sample and high for the Right sample. Also,
the MSB of each data sample lags behind the SYNC edges by one BITCLK cycle.
In the MSB-Justified mode, the SYNC is high for the Left sample and low for the Right sample.
Also, the MSB of each data sample is aligned with the SYNC edges.
