More Information
Summary:Multi-channel audio alignment schemes are disclosed. One aspect of the present disclosure provides for accumulation of audio samples across multiple related audio channels at an audio source. Related audio channels indicate their interrelatedness, and when all the related audio channels have data to transmit, the source releases the data onto the time slots of the Serial Low-power Inter-chip Media Bus (SLIMbus), such that the related audio channels are within a given segment window of the time slot. This accumulation is repeated at the boundary of every segment window. Similarly, accumulation may be performed at the audio sink. Components within the audio sink may only read received data if status signals from all related sinks indicate that predefined thresholds have been reached. By providing such accumulation options, audio fidelity is maintained across multiple audio data channels.
