TDM-Tx-Pro: Configurable Multi-channel Serial Audio Transmitter

Overview

The TDM-Tx-Pro (CWda19) is part of the AudioWorks family of proven audio interface cores featuring a configurable multi-channel audio interface designed to output a serial (TDM) digital audio stream. The TDM-Tx-Pro front-end interface also supports the well known stereo formats: Philips I2S, Left-Justified or Right-Justified. The TDM-Tx-Pro backend interface is supplied with a choice of AMBA®, CoreConnect™ or a flexible parallel interface.

Key Features

  • Runtime configurable output format: multi-channel audio serial (TDM) and also I2S, Left Justified, Right Justified
  • Supports all commonly used sample rates including 32, 44.1, 48, 96 and 192 kHz
  • Runtime configurable sample width, ranging from 8 to 32 bits per sample
  • Pre-synthesis configurable sample FIFO depth
  • Reports FIFO full condition
  • Reports number of samples in FIFO
  • Runtime configurable Lower-FIFO-Limit; a request is activated when this limit is exceeded
  • Supports slave or master modes of the audio bus
  • Supports up to 128 audio channels

Benefits

  • Permits rapid development of a TDM audio front-end interface for a multitude of vendor specific formats
  • Flexible backend interface: AMBA®, CoreConnect™ or just parallel with REQ/ACK handshaking

Deliverables

  • Verilog source code or FPGA netlist
  • Verilog testbench for RTL simulation
  • Synthesis constraints
  • Datasheet
  • Example software driver
