SPDIF

Xilinx provides a SPDIF Controller to transport audio data.

Overview

Xilinx provides a SPDIF Controller to transport audio data.

The Sony/Philips Digital Interconnect Format (SPDIF) core is a digital audio interface controller that implements the International Electronic Commission (IEC) 60958-3 interface for transmitting and receiving audio data. This includes standard bus interfaces to the AMBA® AXI4-Lite and AXI4-Stream interfaces, allowing for integration to the IP core with a master system for further processing of audio data. Data collected by the LogiCORE™ IP SPDIF core is stored in the core’s internal FIFO, allowing the system to process a relatively slow audio stream.

Key features

  • Configurable as an SPDIF audio data transmitter or an SPDIF audio data receiver
  • Configurable FIFO buffer stores the audio sample data CRC checking or insertion for transmitted frames
  • IEC 60958-3 standard SPDIF digital audio bus interface
  • Audio sample lengths of 16/20/24 bits
  • Variable sampling rates (32 kHz/44.1 kHz/48 kHz/88.2 kHz/96 kHz/176.4 kHz/192 kHz)
  • Based on AXI4-Stream specification
  • Continuous aligned streams only (no null or positional bytes transmission support)
  • Register access support through the AXI4-Lite interface

Growing audio requirements in SoCs

As consumer devices such as tablets, media players and home theater systems continue to incorporate more audio functionality, the systems on chip (SoCs) designed for these devices become more complex. These SoCs must support a growing list of audio requirements such as a wider range of high-definition audio compression formats, multi-channel audio content, higher sampling rates and advanced audio post-processing functions.
