5.14 Audio Serial Port (ASP)

DM355 includes two separate ASP controllers. The primary use for the audio serial port (ASP) is for audio interface purposes. The primary audio modes that are supported by the ASP are the AC97 and IIS modes. In addition to the primary audio modes, the ASP supports general serial port receive and transmit operation, but is not intended to be used as a high-speed interface. The ASP is backward compatible with other TI ASPs. The ASP supports the following features:

Full-duplex communication

Double-buffered data registers, which allow a continuous data stream

Independent framing and clocking for receive and transmit

External shift clock generation or an internal programmable frequency shift clock

Double-buffered data registers, which allow a continuous data stream

Independent framing and clocking for receive and transmit

Direct interface to industry-standard codecs, analog interface chips (AICs), and other serially connected analog-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analog (D/A) devices

Direct interface to AC97 compliant devices (the necessary multiphase frame synchronization capability is provided)

Direct interface to IIS compliant devices

A wide selection of data sizes, including 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, and 32 bits

μ-Law and A-Law commanding

8-bit data transfers with the option of LSB or MSB first

Programmable polarity for both frame synchronization and data clocks

Highly programmable internal clock and frame generation
