Serial peripheral interface / inter-IC sound (SPI/I2S)
Transmission sequence
The transmission sequence begins when the external master device sends the clock and
when the NSS_WS signal requests the transfer of data. The slave has to be enabled before
the external master starts the communication. The I
the master initiates the communication.

data register corresponds to the data for the left channel. When the communication starts,
the data are transferred from the Tx buffer to the shift register. The TXE flag is then set in
order to request the right channel data to be written into the I
The CHSIDE flag indicates which channel is to be transmitted. Compared to the master
transmission mode, in slave mode, CHSIDE is sensitive to the WS signal coming from the
external master. This means that the slave needs to be ready to transmit the first data before
the clock is generated by the master. WS assertion corresponds to left channel transmitted
first.
Note:
The I2SE has to be written at least two PCLK cycles before the first clock of the master
comes on the CK line.
The data half-word is parallel-loaded into the 16-bit shift register (from the internal bus)
during the first bit transmission, and then shifted out serially to the MOSI/SD pin MSB first.
The TXE flag is set after each transfer from the Tx buffer to the shift register and an interrupt
is generated if the TXEIE bit in the SPIx_CR2 register is set.
Note that the TXE flag should be checked to be at 1 before attempting to write the Tx buffer.

refer to
Section 26.6.2: Supported audio
To secure a continuous audio data transmission, it is mandatory to write the SPIx_DR
register with the next data to transmit before the end of the current transmission. An
underrun flag is set and an interrupt may be generated if the data are not written into the
SPIx_DR register before the first clock edge of the next data communication. This indicates
to the software that the transferred data are wrong. If the ERRIE bit is set into the SPIx_CR2
register, an interrupt is generated when the UDR flag in the SPIx_SR register goes high. In
this case, it is mandatory to switch off the I
left channel.

Reception sequence
The operating mode is the same as for the transmission mode except for the point 1 (refer to
the procedure described in
set the master reception mode using the I2SCFG[1:0] bits in the SPIx_I2SCFGR register.
Whatever the data length or the channel length, the audio data are received by 16-bit
packets. This means that each time the RX buffer is full, the RXNE flag in the SPIx_SR
register is set and an interrupt is generated if the RXNEIE bit is set in the SPIx_CR2
register. Depending on the data length and channel length configuration, the audio value
received for a right or left channel may result from one or two receptions into the RX buffer.
The CHSIDE flag is updated each time data are received to be read from the SPIx_DR
register. It is sensitive to the external WS line managed by the external master component.
Clearing the RXNE bit is performed by reading the SPIx_DR register.
