SmartDV’s MIPI SoundWire I3S Peripheral IP is a high-performance audio interface solution purpose-built for audio peripheral SoC designs requiring unified, high-bandwidth audio streaming and control across mobile, automotive, consumer electronics, and industrial applications. Fully compliant with MIPI SWI3S v1.0, it delivers complete peripheral-side I3S functionality over a two-pin interface at data rates up to 76 Mbps, enabling next-generation audio peripherals such as smart microphones, amplifiers, and codec devices to replace legacy I2S, TDM, and HDA interfaces with a single, scalable, power-efficient solution.
Designed for the demanding requirements of modern embedded audio peripheral designs, the IP supports up to 32 data ports with 16 channels each, FBCSE and DLV PHY modes, NRZS and 8b/10b encodings, and a comprehensive error detection suite covering Bad8b10b, BadHD10, BadCRC, Missed Row Sync, Invalid Phase ID, and Invalid Packet Length errors. Its Dormant mode support, sleep/wake cycle management, and FBCSE clock pause operation make it particularly well-suited for power-sensitive mobile and wearable audio peripheral designs where standby power consumption is a critical constraint.
Built for design flexibility and silicon efficiency, the IP core is highly configurable for both ASIC and FPGA implementations, with a strong focus on area optimization, power management, and peak performance. Its parameterized architecture, multiple PHY options, and clean host interface enable fast integration and confident design bring-up across a wide range of process nodes and audio peripheral applications.
