MIPI Soundwire PHY

Overview

The physical layer block implements all the line-side functions such as NRZI encoding & decoding, bus clash detection, data line buffer enable/disable. The PHY logic controls or detects multi-lane SoundWire IO interfaces. The PHY also supports Clock stop handshake protocol.
