What is PDM IP?

PDM IP is a reusable interface block that implements PDM-based communication inside SoCs and ASICs.

It simplifies standards-based audio connectivity in SoCs and ASICs used for voice, media, and infotainment products.

Main functions of PDM IP

Protocol implementation

PDM IP provides the state machines, framing, signaling, and control behavior needed to comply with the target standard.

System integration

It connects processors, controllers, peripherals, or external devices using a verified interface architecture.

Performance and robustness

PDM IP is selected based on throughput, latency, interoperability, and reliability needs in the target product.

Verification and reuse

Using interface IP helps reduce bring-up risk and shortens integration time versus building protocol logic from scratch.
