Serial audio interface (SAI)

SPDIF output

The SPDIF interface is available in transmitter mode only. It supports the audio IEC60958.
To select SPDIF mode, set PRTCFG[1:0] bit to 01 in the SAI_xCR1 register.
For SPDIF protocol:
•
Only SD data line is enabled.
•
FS, SCK, MCLK I/Os pins are left free.
•
MODE[1] bit is forced to 0 to select the master mode in order to enable the clock
generator of the SAI and manage the data rate on the SD line.
•
The data size is forced to 24 bits. The value set in DS[2:0] bits in the SAI_xCR1 register
is ignored.
•
The clock generator must be configured to define the symbol-rate, knowing that the bit
clock should be twice the symbol-rate. The data is coded in Manchester protocol.
•
The SAI_xFRCR and SAI_xSLOTR registers are ignored. The SAI is configured
internally to match the SPDIF protocol requirements as shown in
A SPDIF block contains 192 frames. Each frame is composed of two 32-bit sub-frames,
generally one for the left channel and one for the right channel. Each sub-frame is
composed of a SOPD pattern (4-bit) to specify if the sub-frame is the start of a block (and so
is identifying a channel A) or if it is identifying a channel A somewhere in the block, or if it is
referring to channel B (see
composed of 24 bits data + 4 status bits.
