  2. ASoC Digital Audio Interface (DAI)
  3. ==================================
  4. ASoC currently supports the three main Digital Audio Interfaces (DAI) found on
  5. SoC controllers and portable audio CODECs today, namely AC97, I2S and PCM.
  6. AC97
  7. ====
  8. AC97 is a five wire interface commonly found on many PC sound cards. It is
  9. now also popular in many portable devices. This DAI has a RESET line and time
  10. multiplexes its data on its SDATA_OUT (playback) and SDATA_IN (capture) lines.
  11. The bit clock (BCLK) is always driven by the CODEC (usually 12.288MHz) and the
  12. frame (FRAME) (usually 48kHz) is always driven by the controller. Each AC97
  13. frame is 21uS long and is divided into 13 time slots.
  14. The AC97 specification can be found at :

  16. I2S
  17. ===
  18. I2S is a common 4 wire DAI used in HiFi, STB and portable devices. The Tx and
  19. Rx lines are used for audio transmission, while the bit clock (BCLK) and
  20. left/right clock (LRC) synchronise the link. I2S is flexible in that either the
  21. controller or CODEC can drive (master) the BCLK and LRC clock lines. Bit clock
  22. usually varies depending on the sample rate and the master system clock
  23. (SYSCLK). LRCLK is the same as the sample rate. A few devices support separate
  24. ADC and DAC LRCLKs, this allows for simultaneous capture and playback at
  25. different sample rates.
  26. I2S has several different operating modes:-
  27. I2S
  28. MSB is transmitted on the falling edge of the first BCLK after LRC
  29. transition.
  30. Left Justified
  31. MSB is transmitted on transition of LRC.
  32. Right Justified
  33. MSB is transmitted sample size BCLKs before LRC transition.
  34. PCM
  35. ===
  36. PCM is another 4 wire interface, very similar to I2S, which can support a more
  37. flexible protocol. It has bit clock (BCLK) and sync (SYNC) lines that are used
  38. to synchronise the link while the Tx and Rx lines are used to transmit and
  39. receive the audio data. Bit clock usually varies depending on sample rate
  40. while sync runs at the sample rate. PCM also supports Time Division
  41. Multiplexing (TDM) in that several devices can use the bus simultaneously (this
  42. is sometimes referred to as network mode).
  43. Common PCM operating modes:-
  44. Mode A
  45. MSB is transmitted on falling edge of first BCLK after FRAME/SYNC.
  46. Mode B
  47. MSB is transmitted on rising edge of FRAME/SYNC.
