7.4 PCM Interface
Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) is a standard method used to digitize audio (particularly
voice) patterns for transmission over digital communication channels. Through its PCM
interface, WT32 has hardware support for continual transmission and reception of PCM
data, thus reducing processor overhead for wireless headset applications. WT32 offers a bi
directional digital audio interface that routes directly into the baseband layer of the on-
chip firmware. It does not pass through the HCI protocol layer.
Hardware on WT32 allows the data to be sent to and received from a SCO connection. Up
to three SCO connections can be supported by the PCM interface at a time.
WT32 can operate as the PCM interface Master generating an output clock of 128, 256 or
512kHz. When configured as PCM interface slave, it can operate with an input clock up to
2048kHz. WT32 is compatible with a variety of clock formats, including Long Frame Sync,
Short Frame Sync and GCI timing environments.
WT32 supports 13 or 16-bit linear, 8-bit -law or A-law companded sample formats at
8ksamples/s and can receive and transmit on any selection of three of the first four slots
following PCM_SYNC. The PCM configuration options are enabled by setting the PS Key PS
KEY_PCM_CONFIG32 (0x1b3). WT32 interfaces directly to PCM audio devices including the
following:
 Qualcomm MSM 3000 series and MSM 5000 series CDMA baseband devices
 OKI MSM7705 four channel A-law and -law CODEC
 Motorola MC145481 8-bit A-law and -law CODEC
 Motorola MC145483 13-bit linear CODEC
 STW 5093 and 5094 14-bit linear CODECs
 WT32 is also compatible with the Motorola SSI™ interface
