### I2S ### About ----- I2S - Inter-IC Sound, correctly written I²S pronounced "eye-squared-ess", alternative notation is IIS. I²S is an electrical serial bus interface standard used for connecting digital audio devices together. It is used to communicate PCM (Pulse-Code Modulation) audio data between integrated circuits in an electronic device. The I²S bus separates clock and serial data signals, resulting in simpler receivers than those required for asynchronous communications systems that need to recover the clock from the data stream. Despite the similar name, I²S is unrelated and incompatible with the bidirectional I²C (IIC) bus. The I²S bus consists of at least three lines: .. note:: All lines can be attached to almost any pin and this change can occur even during operation. * **Bit clock line** * Officially "continuous serial clock (SCK)". Typically written "bit clock (BCLK)". * In this library function parameter ``sck``. * **Word clock line** * Officially "word select (WS)". Typically called "left-right clock (LRCLK)" or "frame sync (FS)". * 0 = Left channel, 1 = Right channel * In this library function parameter ``ws``. * **Data line** * Officially "serial data (SD)", but can be called SDATA, SDIN, SDOUT, DACDAT, ADCDAT, etc. * Unlike Arduino I2S with single data pin switching between input and output, in ESP core driver use separate data line for input and output. * Output data line is called ``dout`` for function parameter. * Input data line is called ``din`` for function parameter. It may also include a **Master clock** line: * **Master clock** * Officially "master clock (MCLK)". * This is not a part of I2S bus, but is used to synchronize multiple I2S devices. * In this library function parameter ``mclk``. .. note:: Please check the `ESP-IDF documentation `_ for more details on the I2S peripheral for each ESP32 chip. I2S Configuration ----------------- Master / Slave Mode ******************* In **Master mode** (default) the device is generating clock signal ``sck`` and word select signal on ``ws``. In **Slave mode** the device listens on attached pins for the clock signal and word select - i.e. unless externally driven the pins will remain LOW. This mode is not supported yet. Operation Modes *************** Setting the operation mode is done with function ``begin`` and is set by function parameter ``mode``. * ``I2S_MODE_STD`` In standard mode, there are always two sound channels, i.e., the left and right channels, which are called "slots". These slots support 8/16/24/32-bit width sample data. The communication format for the slots follows the Philips standard. * ``I2S_MODE_TDM`` In Time Division Multiplexing mode (TDM), the number of sound channels is variable, and the width of each channel is fixed. * ``I2S_MODE_PDM_TX`` PDM (Pulse-density Modulation) mode for the TX channel can convert PCM data into PDM format which always has left and right slots. PDM TX is only supported on I2S0 and it only supports 16-bit width sample data. It needs at least a CLK pin for clock signal and a DOUT pin for data signal. * ``I2S_MODE_PDM_RX`` PDM (Pulse-density Modulation) mode for RX channel can receive PDM-format data and convert the data into PCM format. PDM RX is only supported on I2S0, and it only supports 16-bit width sample data. PDM RX needs at least a CLK pin for clock signal and a DIN pin for data signal. Simplex / Duplex Mode ********************* Due to the different clock sources the PDM modes are always in **Simplex** mode, using only one data pin. The STD and TDM modes operate in the **Duplex** mode, using two separate data pins: * Output pin ``dout`` for function parameter * Input pin ``din`` for function parameter In this mode, the driver is able to read and write simultaneously on each line and is suitable for applications like walkie-talkie or phone. Data Bit Width ************** This is the number of bits in a channel sample. The data bit width is set by function parameter ``bits_cfg``. The current supported values are: * ``I2S_DATA_BIT_WIDTH_8BIT`` * ``I2S_DATA_BIT_WIDTH_16BIT`` * ``I2S_DATA_BIT_WIDTH_24BIT``, requires the MCLK multiplier to be manually set to 384 * ``I2S_DATA_BIT_WIDTH_32BIT`` Sample Rate *********** The sample rate is set by function parameter ``rate``. It is the number of samples per second in Hz. Slot Mode ********* The slot mode is set by function parameter ``ch``. The current supported values are: * ``I2S_SLOT_MODE_MONO`` I2S channel slot format mono. Transmit the same data in all slots for TX mode. Only receive the data in the first slots for RX mode. * ``I2S_SLOT_MODE_STEREO`` I2S channel slot format stereo. Transmit different data in different slots for TX mode. Receive the data in all slots for RX mode.
