I2s stands for Inter-IC Sound and it is the electronic SBI (serial-bus-interface) standard that we use to connect digital voice devices. Initially, Philips Semiconductor introduced this standard in 1986. This device helps us transfer PCD voice data between electronic devices and integrated circuits. The hardware interface of I2s includes a bit clock line, word clock line, and a multiplexing data line. Today, we will talk about the i2s WiFi module from different aspects to help you create a better understanding.
As we mentioned in the beginning, the i2s WiFi module interface involves a bit clock, a world clock, and a multiplexing data line. The bit clock or SCK clock line is usually known as the ‘bit clock’. Every data bit corresponds to the digital audio, a pulsed SCLK. The SCLK frequency = sampling frequency x sampling bits x 2.
The word clock was previously recognized as WS (word selection). Commonly, it refers to FS (Frame Sync) or LRCLK. In this, 0 equals the left channel and 1 equals the right channel. The multiplexing data line was previously known as SD (Serial Data). Today, we also recognize it as SDOUT, SDIN, ADCDAT, DACDAT, and SDATA, etc.
There are many i2s WiFi Modules available in the WiFi module industry. Here, we will go through the features, technical specifications, and applications of a few common WiFi modules.
