The SSP-to-I
2
S converter converts a data stream from the TIDSP format to the I
2
S for-
mat on transmit or from I
2
S format to TI DSP format on receive. The TI DSP format is sup-
ported by the SSP block and is fully described in the SSP Chapter. The I
2
S format is an
audio standard made popular by Phillips Semiconductor. Figure 10-2 shows the Texas
Instruments DSP format for continuous transfers.
The I
2
S frame format is described in the I
2
S Bus specification published by Phillips Semi-
conductors. An example I
2
S transaction is shown in Figure 10-3.
