SmartDV’s MIPI SoundWire Peripheral IP is a fully featured audio interface solution purpose-built for audio peripheral SoC designs requiring low-power, standards-compliant connectivity to a SoundWire manager in mobile, automotive, IoT, and consumer electronics applications. Fully compliant with MIPI SoundWire v1.3, it delivers complete peripheral-side SoundWire functionality with support for up to 8 data lanes and slave-to-slave transport, making it an ideal solution for smart microphones, amplifiers, and codec devices requiring scalable, multi-drop audio bus connectivity.
Designed for the practical integration requirements of modern audio peripheral designs, the IP features a configurable architecture covering PDI count, command FIFO depth, data lane count, and data port memories, alongside extensive clock gating, clearly demarcated clock domains, and a clock stopping mechanism for ultra-low standby power consumption. Its comprehensive error management suite covering parity, synchronization, and CRC errors, combined with collision detection for both message and data channels, makes it a robust and reliable peripheral implementation for production audio subsystem designs.
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 and clean host interface enable fast integration and confident design bring-up across a wide range of process nodes and audio peripheral applications.
