I2S/TDM Library

I2S/TDM Library

A software library that allows you to control an I2S or TDM (time division multiplexed) bus via xCORE ports. I2S and TDM are digital data streaming interface particularly appropriate for transmission of audio data. The components in the libary are controlled via C using the XMOS multicore extensions (xC) and can either act as I2S master, TDM master or I2S slave.

Features

  • I2S master (sample and frame-based), TDM master and I2S slave modes.
  • Handles multiple input and output data lines.
  • Support for standard I2S, left justified or right justified data modes for I2S.
  • Support for multiple formats of TDM synchronization signal.
  • Sample rate support up to 192KHz.
  • Up to 32 channels in/32 channels out (depending on sample rate)
