AES TRANSMITTER – The industry standard WM8804 converts the PI I2S stream to AES3/SPDIF • formatted data at 24-Bit up to 192Khz Frame Rate. The PI2AES-LITE works with the industry standard WM8804 w/multiple clocks, Linux driver. MULTIPLE SIMULTANEOUS OUTPUTS – All output ports are active with the same Digital Audio •...
PI2AES-LITE. 4.1 PI2AES-LITE I2C BUS DEVICES The following table describes the CPU I2C Bus usage of the PI2AES-LITE. Most of these addresses are set by the startup script supplied by Pi2Design. Refer to the respective device documentation for more detail.
1. The WM8804 is controlled using the I2C port. Refer to the WM8804 documentation and Pi 2 Design supplied driver code for more detail. 2. The PI2AES-LITE is designed to operate the WM8804 in Master mode. In this mode the WM8804 receives its master clock from XIN and drives MCLK (unused), BCLK and LRCLK to the Pi.
