3.7. PCM and I2C Interface
The following table shows the pin definition of PCM interface that can be applied in audio codec design.
Table 9: PCM and I2C Pin Definition
EC20 Mini PCIe provides one PCM digital interface, which supports 8-bit A-law and μ-law, 16-bit linear
data formats and the following modes:
Primary mode (short sync, works as either master or slave)
Auxiliary mode (long sync, works as master only)
In primary mode, the data is sampled on the falling edge of the PCM_CLK and transmitted on the rising
edge; the PCM_SYNC falling edge represents the MSB. In this mode, PCM_CLK supports 128kHz,
256kHz, 512kHz, 1024kHz, 2048kHz and 4096kHz. The following figure shows timing relationship in
primary mode with 8kHz PCM_SYNC and 2048kHz PCM_CLK.
