Overview

The SPDIF-Tx-Pro (CWda15) is a digital audio transmitter IP core supporting the SPDIF IEC60958 and AES3 standards for PCM audio and the IEC61937 and SMPTE 337M standards for non-PCM (compressed) audio. The core is very configurable allowing many features of the standards to be optionally supported by hardware or software. The structure of the CWda15 allows enhanced functionalities for specific applications by using the optional Add-on-Modules (AOM).
