AD1816A
SERIAL INTERFACES
I2S Serial Ports
The two I2S serial ports on the AD1816A accept serial data in the following formats: Right-Justified, I2S-Justified and Left-Justified.
Figure 9 shows the right-justified mode. LRCLK is HI for the left channel and LO for the right channel. Data is valid on the rising
edge of the BCLK. The MSB is delayed 16-bit clock periods from an LRCLK transition, so that when there are 64 BCLK periods
per LRCLK period, the LSB of the data will be right-justified to the next LRCLK transition.

Figure 10 shows the I2S-justified mode. LRCLK is LO for the left channel and HI for the right channel. Data is valid on the rising
edge of BCLK. The MSB is left-justified to an LRCLK transition, but with a single BCLK period delay.

Figure 11 shows the left-justified mode. LRCLK is HI for the left channel and LO for the right channel. Data is valid on the rising
edge of BCLK. The MSB is left-justified to an LRCLK transition, with no MSB delay.

Bidirectional DSP Serial Interface
The AD1816A SoundPort Controller transmits and receives both data and control/status information through its DSP serial interface
port (SPORT). The AD1816A is always the bus master and supplies the frame sync and the serial clock. The AD1816A has four
pins assigned to the SPORT: SDI, SDO, SDFS and SCLK. The SPORT has two operating modes: monitor and intercept. The
SPORT always monitors the various data streams being processed by the AD1816A. In intercept mode, any of the digital data
streams can be manipulated by the DSP before reaching the final ADC or DAC stages.
The SDI and SDO pins handle the serial data input and output of the AD1816A. Communication in and out of the AD1816A requires
that bits of data be transmitted after a rising edge of SCLK and sampled on the falling edge of SCLK. The SCLK frequency is
always 11 MHz (or 1/3 or XTALI).
DSP Serial Port Interface time slots are mapped as shown in Table I.
