Audio CODEC
A Crystal Semiconductor Corporation CS4215 Multimedia Audio
Coder-Decoder (CODEC) provides the SPARCbook 3 with stereo audio
capabilities. It operates in conjunction with the DBRI with which it is
connected via a synchronous serial link. The DBRI’s concentration
highway interface (CHI) provides a specialized serial interface which is
used to support the audio codec’s operations. Figure 8-5 shows how the
DBRI and audio codec are connected.
8.3.1
Clocking and Data Synchronization
The SPARCbook 3 implementation of the DBRI and audio codec provides
flexible operation of the audio interface. The codec has two clock inputs, as
illustrated in Figure 8-6, which are used to generate a sampling clock for
the internal analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters and can be
programmed supply serial port timing. The codec is able to function as a
timing master or timing slave for serial transfers between at it and the
DBRI. It can generate frame synchronization and serial data clocks or can
receive them from the DBRI.
The audio CODEC is not supplied with a clock on its CLKIN pin.
The CODEC operates in two modes: control mode, during which command
and status information are transferred; and data mode, during which audio
data is transferred. The operating mode is controlled via one if the DBRI’s
bit I/O pins.
