HDL Design House Announces I2S Soft IP Core

Belgrade, Serbia – November 3rd, 2009 – HDL Design House has announced I2S soft IP core (HIP 3700). HIP 3700 I2S soft IP core is based on a generic, highly modular architecture from which a variety of solutions can be easily created to effectively and  efficiently address customers’ specific requirements. I2S is an audio transmission standard, used to connect system elements such as Analog to Digital and Digital to Analog converters, speakers or audio subsystems. HIP 3700 is silicon proven I2S Controller IP Core compliant with the Philips*  Inter-IC Sound specification. IP Core provides up to 8 audio channels and a 32-bit parallel processor bus as the application interface. Each channel can be programmed as an I2S master or an I2S slave.

HIP3700 IP Core Key Features:

• IP core meets the Philips Inter-IC Sound bus specification
• Supports configurable 8/16/24/32 bit DAC/ADC resolution
• Supports Master/Slave and Receiver/Transmitter modes
• Two sets of SCK (SCLK) and WS strobes:
  • One for all transmitters
  • One for all receivers
• 32-bit parallel AMBA APB processor bus (other custom specific buses can also be provided upon request)
• Configurable internal FIFO's (one for all transmitter channels and one for all receiver channels)
•  Audio sampling capabilities:8, 16, 24, 32, 44.1,48; 88.2; 96; 176.4; 192kHz
•  The I2S Bus Interface may operate in one of the following four configurations:
  • I2S – Philips mode
  • Left Justified mode
  • Right Justified mode
  • DSP mode
• Mode of operation for each channel can be set in the single configuration register
• IRQ driven by the I2S bus events

The I2S IP core can be utilized for a variety of Inter-IC Sound compliant serial bus applications:

• ASIC and SoC applications requiring up to 8 channel audio data transmission
• Digital signal processing and multimedia systems
• Connecting Analog to Digital and Digital to Analog converters
• Digital audio interface of embedded microcontroller systems
