18.3.3.10 Major Modes
The USART supports a set of different I2S formats as shown in
these modes. MONO, JUSTIFY and DELAY in USARTn_I2SCTRL can be mixed and matched to create an appropriate format. MONO
enables mono mode, i.e. one data stream instead of two which is the default. JUSTIFY aligns data within a word on the I2S bus, either
left or right which can bee seen in figures
Right-Justified I2S Waveform on page
the word-select signal, or one bit-period after the edge.

The regular I2S waveform is shown in
I2S Waveform (Reduced Accuracy) on page
can be configured to 32-bit, 16-bit or 8-bit using FORMAT in USARTn_I2SCTRL. In the second figure, I2S data is transmitted with re-
duced accuracy, i.e. the data transmitted has less bits than what is possible in the bus format.
Note that the msb of a word transmitted in regular I2S mode is delayed by one cycle with respect to word select

A left-justified stream is shown in
after the edge on the word-select signal in contradiction to the regular I2S waveform where it comes one bit-period after.
