3.12. PCM and I2C Interfaces
EC25 provides one Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) digital interface for audio design, which supports the
following modes:
 Primary mode (short frame synchronization, works as both master and slave)
 Auxiliary mode (long frame synchronization, works as master only)
In primary mode, the data is sampled on the falling edge of the PCM_CLK and transmitted on the rising
edge. The PCM_SYNC falling edge represents the MSB. In this mode, PCM_CLK supports
128,256,512,1024 and2048kHz for different speech codecs.
In auxiliary mode, the data is sampled on the falling edge of the PCM_CLK and transmitted on the rising
edge.The PCM_SYNC rising edge represents the MSB. In this mode, PCM interface operates with a
128kHz PCM_CLK and an 8kHz, 50% duty cycle PCM_SYNC only.
EC25 supports 8-bit A-law* andμ-law*, and also 16-bit linear data formats. The following figures show
theprimary mode’s timing relationship with 8kHz PCM_SYNC and 2048kHz PCM_CLK, as well asthe
auxiliary mode’s timing relationship with 8kHz PCM_SYNC and 128kHz PCM_CLK.
