Description

This reference design is an I²S/TDM-based: low-cost: easy-to-use alternative to fiber optics/analog copper wire for connecting an automotive (sound) control panel to an output stage/power amplifier. Supporting I²S as well as TDM: it is capable of transmitting digital audio signal to 16 independent channels of speakers with each channel output of 80W at 4Ω. It also supports bidirectional communication with the control unit or processor via I²C: over a single shielded twisted pair (STP) or coaxial. Furthermore: the TIDA-00223 reference design enables fast implementation with power supply included: and it has all the protection and diagnostics requirements needed in modern cars.
