7.3 Serial Data Interface

The STA328 serial audio input was designed to interface with standard digital audio components and to

accept a number of serial data formats. The STA328 always acts as a slave when receiving audio input

from standard digital audio components. Serial data for two channels is provided using 3 input pins: left/

right clock LRCKI (pin 33), serial clock BICKI (pin 31), and serial data 1 & 2 SDI12 (pin 32).

The SAI register (Configuration Register B - 01h, Bits D3-D0) and the SAIFB register (Configuration Reg-

ister B - 01h, Bit D4) are used to specify the serial data format. The default serial data format is I2S, MSB-

First. Available formats are shown in Figure 11 and the tables that follow.

Figure 12. General Serial Input and Output Formats

For example, SAI=1110 and SAIFB=1 would specify Right-Justified 16-bit data, LSB-First.

Table 10 below lists the serial audio input formats supported by STA328 as related to BICKI = 32/48/64fs,

where the sampling rate fs = 32/44.1/48/88.2/96/176.4/192 kHz.
