Audio DAC Interface
The interface for the CS4343 consists of two separate functional blocks, one for each of the
serial interfaces that are required to support this device.
Figure 22
shows a block diagram of
this interface.
The control port interface is implemented as a 2-bit I/O port that is manipulated by software in
order to implement the I
2
C protocol used for accessing the control and status registers in the
DAC. This approach uses minimal device resources and is practical due to the low data rate of
this port and its infrequent use.
When the system is in operation, the serial audio port is in use most of the time. Therefore,
dedicated hardware is provided for implementing the transfer protocol and for delivering an
uninterrupted audio stream. This hardware consists of two, 4-word FIFOs, one for each audio
channel and a state machine to manage the FIFOs and sequence the interface signals.
