I2S
Integrates MAC IP to a broad range of PHY and SerDes IP
Overview
Inter-IC Sound (I2S) is a serial bus interface standard used for connecting digital audio devices. The I2S processor is designed to manage the transfer of digital audio data between devices such as digital-to-analog converters (DACs), analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), digital signal processors (DSPs), and microcontrollers. I2S is widely used in audio applications due to its simplicity, high fidelity, and low latency.
