Configure and use the Wishbone Audio Streaming Controller component (WB_I2S) in your FPGA designs. The Audio Streaming Controller is used to facilitate data transfers over the inter-IC sound (I2S) bus. The I2S bus – developed by Philips as a dedicated serial link for digital audio – allows a standardized communication medium for an ever-increasing array of digital audio devices. Features at-a-glance:

I2S-compatible interface.
Operates as I2S Master.
Operational as Transmitter and/or Receiver.
Supports four data word widths: 16, 20, 24 and 32 bit.
Three modes of I2S communication supported: Normal (non-justified), Left-Justified, and Right-Justified.
Ability to include/exclude larger hardware buffer for Transmitter/Receiver.
Independently selectable mono/stereo for Receiver and Transmitter.
Wishbone-compliant.
Wishbone data to Transmitter right-aligned in 16, 20 and 24 bit word-width modes (bit 0 is the LSB).
Wishbone data to Transmitter left-aligned in 32 bit word-width mode (bit 31 is the MSB).
