S mode is a three-wire serial bus standard protocol for transmission of
two-channel (stereo) pulse code modulation (PCM) digital audio data,
where each sample is transmitted in MSB-first format. Many of today’s
analog and digital audio front-end devices support the I

S protocol
including:
• Audio D/A and A/D converters
• PC multimedia audio controllers
• Digital audio transmitters and receivers that support serial digital
audio transmission standards, such as AES/EBU, SP/DIF, IEC958,
CP-340, and CP-1201
• Digital audio signal processors
• Dedicated digital filter chips
• Sample rate converters
