3.9. PCM Interface
M66 supports PCM interface. It is used for digital audio transmission between the module and the device.
This interface is composed of PCM_CLK, PCM_SYNC, PCM_IN and PCM_OUT signal lines.
Pulse-code modulation (PCM) is a converter that changes the consecutive analog audio signal to discrete
digital signal. The whole procedure of Pulse-code modulation contains sampling, quantizing and
encoding.

3.9.1. Configuration
M66 module supports 13-bit line code PCM format. The sample rate is 8 KHz, and the clock source is 256
KHz, and the module can only act as master mode. The PCM interface supports both long and short
synchronization simultaneously. Furthermore, it only supports MSB first. For detailed information, please
refer to the table below.
