Overview
Unlike the SPI interface which has been designed for SPI-compatible
communication only, the SPORT modules support a variety of serial data
communication protocols, for example:
• A-law or µ-law companding according to G.711 specification
• Multichannel or time-division-multiplexed (TDM) modes
• Stereo audio I
2
S mode
• H.100 telephony standard support
In addition to these standard protocols, the SPORT module provides
modes to connect to standard peripheral devices, such as ADCs or codecs,
without external glue logic. With support for high data rates, independent
transmit and receive channels, and dual data paths, the SPORT interface
is a perfect choice for direct serial interconnection between two or more
processors in a multiprocessor system. Many processors provide compati-
ble interfaces, including processors from Analog Devices and other
manufacturers.
Each SPORT has its own set of control registers and data buffers.
Features
A SPORT can operate at up to ½ the system clock (
SCLK
) rate for an inter-
nally generated or external serial clock. The SPORT external clock must
always be less than the
SCLK
frequency. Independent transmit and receive
clocks provide greater flexibility for serial communications.
