Master, slave, and controller modes:
Master: Data received/transmitted based on internally-generated clocks. Output Serial Clock on
SCKn pin, Master Clock on MCKn pin, and Frame Sync Clock on FSn pin
Slave: Data received/transmitted based on external clocks on Serial Clock pin (SCKn) or Master
Clock pin (MCKn)
Controller: Only output internally generated Master clock (MCKn), Serial Clock (SCKn), and
Frame Sync Clock (FSn)
Individual enabling and disabling of Clock Units and Serializers
DMA interfaces for each Serializer receiver or transmitter to reduce processor overhead:
Either one DMA channel for all data slots or
One DMA channel per data channel in stereo
Smart Data Holding register management to avoid data slots mix after overrun or underrun
