This is a simple SPDIF transmitter module written in Verilog.
This module can either generate its own audio clock by dividing down clk_i or can use an external audio clock to drive the output stream via audio_clk_i.
For external clocking mode, the audio_clk_i clock rate should be:
- 32KHz - 4.096MHz
- 44.1KHz - 5.6448MHz
- 48KHz - 6.144MHz
Note that in external clocking mode, the frequency of clk_i must be more than 4 x audio_clk_i frequency.
For internal clocking mode, the clk_i input is divided to roughly the right frequency required for chosen the sample rate. This isn't going to be exact!
The input interface expects 32-bits (2 x 16-bit audio samples) to be provided to it on 'sample_i' and held until 'sample_req_o' is pulsed (data pop request).
This allows connection to a simple FIFO for audio samples.
Tested on a Pioneer VSX D510 over TOSLINK and also on a cheap no-brand Ebay D/A converter.
The supplied testbench requires the SystemC libraries and Icarus Verilog, both of which are available for free.
- CLK_RATE_KHZ - Clock speed (clk_i) in KHz
- AUDIO_RATE - Audio sample rate, e.g. 44100 or 48000
- AUDIO_CLK_SRC - Can be INTERNAL or EXTERNAL
With the default configuration...
- the design contains 69 flops, 3 adders, 2 comparators, 11 multiplexers (according to ISE).
