Overview
Overview
The following protocols are available in the SHARC processor and are
briefly described in this appendix. For complete information on the indus-
try standard protocols, see the specification listings in each section.
• Standard Serial Mode
• Left-justified Mode (Sony format)
2
• I S Mode (Sony/Philips format)
• Time Division Multiplex (TDM) Mode
• MOST Mode
• Right-justified Mode
• S/PDIF (consumer mode)
• EBU/AES3 (professional mode)
Standard Serial Mode
Most processors allow word lengths of 4 to 32 bits to be transmitted or
received through their serial ports. For convenience, most AFE (analog
front-end) devices operate with 16-bit word lengths for both data and sta-
tus transfer between the AFE and processor. The serial ports (SPORTs) of
most DSPs are designed for full-duplex operation. They differ from the
typical serial interface of micro controllers in that they use a frame sync
pulse to indicate the start of the data frame. In the case of full duplex asyn-
chronous transfers, two separate FS pulses are used for transmit and
receive. The typical micro controller serial interfaces use the serial clock
( ) as an indicator of serial data, meaning that the

when data is valid. The DSP serial interface can operate with a continuous
