Audio Channel
The I
2
S audio channel supports audio sampling rates
from 8kHz to 192kHz and audio word lengths from 4 bits
to 32 bits. The audio bit clock (SCK) does not have to
be synchronized with RXCLKIN_. The MAX9249 auto-
matically encodes audio data into a single bit stream
synchronous with RXCLKIN_. The GMSL deserializer
decodes the audio stream and stores audio words in a
FIFO. Audio rate detection uses an internal oscillator to
continuously determine the audio data rate and output
the audio in I
2
S format. The audio channel is enabled by
default. When the audio channel is disabled, the audio
data on the MAX9249 and GMSL deserializer is treated
as a control pin (CNTL0).
Low RXCLKIN_ frequencies limit the maximum audio
sampling rate. Table 3 lists the maximum audio sam-
pling rate for various RXCLKIN_ frequencies. Spread-
spectrum settings do not affect the I
2
S data rate or WS
clock frequency.
Control Channel and Register Programming
The control channel is available for the FC to send
and receive control data over the serial link simultane-
ously with the high-speed data. Configuring the CDS pin
allows the FC to control the link from either the MAX9249
or the GMSL deserializer side to support video-display or
image-sensing applications.
The control channel between the FC and MAX9249 or
GMSL deserializer runs in base mode or bypass mode
according to the mode selection (MS) input of the device
connected to the FC. Base mode is a half-duplex control
channel and the bypass mode is a full-duplex control
channel. In base mode, the FC is the host and can
access the registers of both the MAX9249 and GMSL
deserializer from either side of the link by using the GMSL
