C1-Public
The AT command interface is not available on the I2C interface. The I2C device-mode operation is not
supported: the LENA-R8 series module can act as the I2C host that can communicate with I2C devices
in accordance with the I2C bus specifications
[12] .
1.11 Cellular audio interface
☞
LENA-R8001-00C and LENA-R8001M10-00C product versions do not support VoLTE.
LENA-R8 series cellular system includes a 4-wire digital audio interface ( I2S_TXD data output,
I2S_RXD data input, I2S_CLK clock, I2S_WA world alignment / synchronization signal), available for
digital audio communication with external digital audio devices as an audio codec. Voice over LTE
(VoLTE) and Circuit-Switched Fall-Back (CSFB) services are employed through LTE or 2G radio bearer.
The I2S interface is configured in this way:
• Normal I2S mode: long word alignment synchronization signal high / low with a 50% duty cycle
• Local device role: bit clock and word alignment synchronization signal received as input from the
external audio device (as an audio codec)
• Data with 16-bit word length, in 2’s complement notation , linear, with MSB transmitted / read first
• Word alignment synchronization signal frequency: 8 kHz, high for 16 bit clock cycles / low for 16
bit clock cycles, according to the data frame length
1.12 Cellular clock output
LENA-R8 series modules ’ cellular system provides digital clock output functionality on the GPIO6 pin.
This is mainly designed to feed the clock input of an external audio codec.
1.13 Cellular General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)
LENA-R8 series modules include 5 pins ( GPIO1 - GPIO5 ) which can be configured as General Purpose
Input/Output or to provide custom functions via u-blox AT commands (for more details, see the u-blox
AT commands manual
[2] , +UGPIOC, +UGPIOR, +UGPIOW AT commands), as summarized in Table 7 .
