Inter-IC Sound (I2S)

Introduction

I2S (Inter-IC Sound) is a serial, synchronous communication protocol that is usually used for transmitting audio data between two digital audio devices.

ESP32 contains two I2S peripheral(s). These peripherals can be configured to input and output sample data via the I2S driver.

An I2S bus that communicate in Standard or TDM mode consists of the following lines:

  • MCLK: Master clock line. It’s an optional signal depends on slave side, mainly used for offering a reference clock to the I2S slave device.

  • BCLK: Bit clock line. The bit clock for data line.

  • WS: Word(Slot) select line. It is usually used to identify the vocal tract except PDM mode.

  • DIN/DOUT: Serial data input/output line. (Data will loopback internally if din and dout are set to a same GPIO)

And for the I2S bus that communicate in PDM mode, the lines are:

  • CLK: PDM clock line.

  • DIN/DOUT: Serial data input/output line.

Each I2S controller has the following features that can be configured by the I2S driver:

  • Operation as system master or slave

  • Capable of acting as transmitter or receiver

  • DMA controller that allows for streaming sample data without requiring the CPU to copy each data sample

Each controller can operate in simplex communication mode. Thus, the two controllers can be combined to establish full-duplex communication.

I2S File Structure

I2S file structure

Public headers that need to be included in the I2S application

  • i2s.h: The header file of legacy I2S APIs (for apps using legacy driver).

  • i2s_std.h: The header file that provides standard communication mode specific APIs (for apps using new driver with standard mode).

  • i2s_pdm.h: The header file that provides PDM communication mode specific APIs (for apps using new driver with PDM mode).

  • i2s_tdm.h: The header file that provides TDM communication mode specific APIs (for apps using new driver with TDM mode).

备注

The legacy driver can’t coexist with the new driver. Including i2s.h to use the legacy driver or the other three headers to use the new driver. The legacy driver might be removed in future.

Public headers that have been included in the headers above

  • i2s_types_legacy.h: The legacy public types that only used in the legacy driver.

  • i2s_types.h: The header file that provides public types.

  • i2s_common.h: The header file that provides common APIs for all communication modes.

I2S Clock

Clock Source

  • i2s_clock_src_t::I2S_CLK_SRC_DEFAULT: Default PLL clock.

  • i2s_clock_src_t::I2S_CLK_SRC_PLL_160M: 160 MHz PLL clock.

  • i2s_clock_src_t::I2S_CLK_SRC_APLL: Audio PLL clock, more precise than I2S_CLK_SRC_PLL_160M in high sample rate applications. Its frequency is configurable according to the sample rate, but if APLL has been occupied by emac or other channels already, the APLL frequency is not allowed to change, the driver will try to work under this APLL frequency, if this APLL frequency can’t meet the requirements of I2S, the clock configuration will fail.

Clock Terminology

  • sample rate: The number of sampled data in one second per slot.

  • sclk: Source clock frequency. It is the frequency of the clock source.

  • mclk: Master clock frequency. bclk is generate from this clock, mclk is mostly needed in the case that requires the MCLK signal as a reference clock to synchronize BCLK and WS between I2S master role and slave role.

  • bclk: Bit clock frequency. Every tick of this clock stands for one data bit on data pin. It means there will be 8/16/24/32 bclk ticks in one slot, because the number of bclk ticks in one slot is equal to the i2s_std_slot_config_t::slot_bit_width.

  • lrck / ws: Left/Right clock or word select clock. For non-PDM mode, its frequency is equal to the sample rate.

备注

Normally mclk should be the multiple of sample rate and bclk at the same time. This field i2s_std_clk_config_t::mclk_multiple means the multiple of mclk to the sample rate. If slot_bit_width is set to I2S_SLOT_BIT_WIDTH_24BIT, to keep mclk a multiple to the bclk, i2s_std_clk_config_t::mclk_multiple should be set to I2S_MCLK_MULTIPLE_384, otherwise the ws will be inaccurate. But in the most other cases, I2S_MCLK_MULTIPLE_256 should be enough.

Standard Mode

Standard mode always has left and right two sound channels which are called ‘slots’. These slots can support 8/16/24/32 bits width sample data. And the communication format for the slots mainly includes these following formats:

  • Philip Format: Data signal have one bit shift comparing to the WS(word select) signal. And the duty of WS signal is 50%.

  • MSB Format: Almost same as philip format, but its data have no shift.

  • PCM Short Format: Data have one bit shift and meanwhile WS signal becomes a pulse lasting one BCLK(Bit Clock) cycle.

PDM Mode (TX)

PDM(Pulse-density Modulation) mode for tx channel can convert PCM data into PDM format which always has left and right slots. PDM TX can only support 16 bits width sample data. PDM TX only needs CLK pin for clock signal and DOUT pin for data signal (i.e. WS and SD signal in the following figure, the BCK signal is an internal bit sampling clock, not needed between PDM devices). This mode allows user to configure the up-sampling parameters i2s_pdm_tx_clk_config_t::up_sample_fp i2s_pdm_tx_clk_config_t::up_sample_fs. The up-sampling rate can be calculated by up_sample_rate = fp / fs, there are up-sampling modes in PDM TX:

  • Fixed Clock Frequency: In this mode the up-sampling rate will change according to the sample rate. Setting fp = 960 and fs = sample_rate / 100, then the clock frequency(Fpdm) on CLK pin will be fixed to 128 * 48 KHz = 6.144 MHz, note that this frequency is not equal to the sample rate(Fpcm).

  • Fixed Up-sampling Rate: In this mode the up-sampling rate is fixed to 2. Setting fp = 960 and fs = 480, then the clock frequency(Fpdm) on CLK pin will be 128 * sample_rate

PDM Mode (RX)

PDM(Pulse-density Modulation) mode for rx channel can receive PDM format data and convert the data into PCM format. PDM RX can only support 16 bits width sample data. PDM RX only need WS pin for clock signal and DIN pin for data signal. This mode allows user to configure the down-sampling parameter i2s_pdm_rx_clk_config_t::dn_sample_mode, there are two down-sampling modes in PDM RX:

ADC/DAC Mode

ADC and DAC modes only exist on ESP32 and are only supported on I2S0. Actually, they are two sub-modes of LCD/Camera mode. I2S0 can be routed directly to the internal analog-to-digital converter(ADC) and digital-to-analog converter(DAC). In other words, ADC and DAC peripherals can read or write continuously via I2S0 DMA. As they are not an actual communication mode, the I2S driver does not implement them.

Functional Overview

The I2S driver offers following services:

Resources Management

There are three levels’ resources in I2S driver:

  • platform level: Resources of all I2S controllers in the current target.

  • controller level: Resources in one I2S controller.

  • channel level: Resources of tx or rx channel in one I2S controller.

The public APIs are all channel level APIs, the channel handle i2s_chan_handle_t can help user to manage the resources under a specific channel without considering the other two levels. The other two upper levels’ resources are private and will be managed by the driver automatically. Users can call i2s_new_channel() to allocate a channel handle and call i2s_del_channel() to delete it.

Power Management

When the power management is enabled (i.e. CONFIG_PM_ENABLE is on), the system will adjust or stop the source clock of I2S before going into light sleep, thus potentially changing the I2S signals and leading to transmitting or receiving invalid data.

I2S driver can prevent the system from changing or stopping the source clock by acquiring a power management lock. When the source clock is generated from APB, the lock type will be set to esp_pm_lock_type_t::ESP_PM_APB_FREQ_MAX and when the source clock is APLL (if target support APLL), it will be set to esp_pm_lock_type_t::ESP_PM_NO_LIGHT_SLEEP. Whenever user is reading or writing via I2S (i.e. calling i2s_channel_read() or i2s_channel_write()), the driver will guarantee that the power management lock is acquired. Likewise, the driver releases the lock after reading or writing finished.

Finite-State Machine

There are three states for an I2S channel, they are registered, ready and running. Their relationship is shown in the following diagram:

I2S Finite-State Machine

The <mode> in the diagram can be replaced by corresponding I2S communication mode like std for standard two-slot mode, for other information of communication mode, please refer to I2S Communication Mode section.

Data Transport

The data transport of I2S peripheral, including sending and receiving, is realized by DMA. Before transporting data, please call i2s_channel_enable() to enable the specific channel. When the sent or received data reach the size of one DMA buffer, I2S_OUT_EOF or I2S_IN_SUC_EOF interrupt will be triggered. Note that the DMA buffer size is not equal to i2s_chan_config_t::dma_frame_num, one frame here means all the sampled data in one WS circle. Therefore, dma_buffer_size = dma_frame_num * slot_num * slot_bit_width / 8. For the transmit case, users can input the data by calling i2s_channel_write(). This function will help users to copy the data from the source buffer to the DMA tx buffer and wait for the transmition finished. Then it’ll repeat until the sent bytes reach the given size. For the receive case, the function i2s_channel_read() will wait for receiving the message queue which contains the DMA buffer address, it will help users to copy the data from DMA rx buffer to the destination buffer.

Both i2s_channel_write() and i2s_channel_read() are blocking functions, they will keep waiting until the whole source buffer are sent or the whole destination buffer loaded, unless they exceed the max blocking time, then the error code ESP_ERR_TIMEOUT will return in this case. To send or receive data asynchronously, callbacks can be registered by i2s_channel_register_event_callback(), users are able to access the DMA buffer directly in the callback function instead of transmitting or receiving by the two blocking functions. However, please be aware that it is an interrupt callback, don’t do complex logic, floating operation or call non-reentrant functions in the callback.

Configuration Setting

Users can initialize a channel by corresponding function (i.e. i2s_channel_init_std_mode(), i2s_channel_init_pdm_rx_mode(), i2s_channel_init_pdm_tx_mode() or i2s_channel_init_tdm_mode()), the channel will be initialized to the specific mode. If the configurations need to be updated after initialization, i2s_channel_disable() has to be called first to ensure the channel has stopped, and then calling corresponding ‘reconfig’ functions, like i2s_channel_reconfig_std_slot(), i2s_channel_reconfig_std_clock(), i2s_channel_reconfig_std_gpio().

IRAM Safe

By default, the I2S interrupt will be deferred when the Cache is disabled for reasons like writing/erasing Flash. Thus the EOF interrupt will not get executed in time, which is not expected in a real-time application.

There’s a Kconfig option CONFIG_I2S_ISR_IRAM_SAFE that will:

  1. Enable the interrupt being serviced even when cache is disabled

  2. Place driver object into DRAM (in case it’s linked to PSRAM by accident)

This will allow the interrupt to run while the cache is disabled but will come at the cost of increased IRAM consumption.

Thread Safety

All the public I2S APIs are guaranteed to be thread safe by the driver, which means, user can call them from different RTOS tasks without protection by extra locks. Notice that I2S driver uses mutex lock to ensure the thread safety, thus these APIs are not allowed to be used in ISR.

Kconfig Options

Application Example

The examples of the I2S driver can be found in the directory peripherals/i2s. Here are some simple usages of each mode:

Standard TX/RX Usage

Different slot communication formats can be generated by following helper macros for standard mode. As described above, there are three formats in standard mode, their helper macros are:

The clock config helper macro is:

Please refer to Standard Mode for STD API information. And for more details, please refer to driver/include/driver/i2s_std.h.

备注

It’s similar when the data is 32-bit width, but take care when using 8-bit and 24-bit data width. For 8-bit width, the written buffer should still using uint16_t (i.e. align with 2 bytes), and only the high 8 bits will be valid, the low 8 bits are dropped, and for 24-bit width, the buffer is supposed to use uint32_t (i.e. align with 4 bytes), and only the high 24 bits valid, the low 8 bits are dropped.

Another point is that, for the 8-bit and 16-bit mono mode, the real data on the line are swapped. To get the correct sequence, the writting buffer need to swap the data every two bytes.

备注

The receive case is a little bit complicated on ESP32. Firstly, when the data width are 8-bit or 24-bit, the received data will still align with two bytes or four bytes, which means the valid data are put in the high 8 bits in every two bytes and high 24 bits in every four bytes. For example, the received data will be 0x5A00 when the data on the line is 0x5A in 8-bit width, and receive 0x0000 5A00 if the data 0x00 005A on the line. Secondly, for 8-bit and 16-bit mono case, the data in buffer are swapped every two data, they may need to be swapped back manually to get the correct order.

Full-duplex

Full-duplex mode will register tx and rx channel in an I2S port at the same time, and they will share the BCLK and WS signal. Currently STD and TDM communication mode are able to adopt full-duplex mode in following way, but PDM full-duplex is not supported because PDM TX and RX clock are not same.

Note that one handle can only stand for one channel, the slot and clock configurations for both tx and rx channel should be set one by one.

Here is an example of how to allocate a pair of full-duplex channels:

#include "driver/i2s_std.h"
#include "driver/gpio.h"

i2s_chan_handle_t tx_handle;
i2s_chan_handle_t rx_handle;

/* Allocate a pair of I2S channel */
i2s_chan_config_t chan_cfg = I2S_CHANNEL_DEFAULT_CONFIG(I2S_NUM_AUTO, I2S_ROLE_MASTER);
/* Allocate for tx and rx channel at the same time, then they will work in full-duplex mode */
i2s_new_channel(&chan_cfg, &tx_handle, &rx_handle);

/* Set the configurations for BOTH TWO channels, since tx and rx channel have to be same in full-duplex mode */
i2s_std_config_t std_cfg = {
    .clk_cfg = I2S_STD_CLK_DEFAULT_CONFIG(32000),
    .slot_cfg = I2S_STD_PHILIP_SLOT_DEFAULT_CONFIG(I2S_DATA_BIT_WIDTH_16BIT, I2S_SLOT_MODE_STEREO),
    .gpio_cfg = {
        .mclk = I2S_GPIO_UNUSED,
        .bclk = GPIO_NUM_4,
        .ws = GPIO_NUM_5,
        .dout = GPIO_NUM_18,
        .din = GPIO_NUM_19,
        .invert_flags = {
            .mclk_inv = false,
            .bclk_inv = false,
            .ws_inv = false,
        },
    },

i2s_init_channle(rx_handle, &std_cfg);

i2s_channel_enable(tx_handle);
i2s_channel_enable(rx_handle);

...

Simplex Mode

To allocate a channel handle in simplex mode, i2s_new_channel() should be called for each channel. The clock and gpio pins of TX/RX channel on ESP32 are not separate, therefore TX and RX channel can’t coexist on a same I2S port in simplex mode.

#include "driver/i2s_std.h"
#include "driver/gpio.h"

i2s_chan_handle_t tx_handle;
i2s_chan_handle_t rx_handle;

Application Notes

How to Prevent Data Lost

For the applications that need a high frequency sample rate, sometimes the massive throughput of receiving data may cause data lost. Users can receive data lost event by registering isr callback function to receive event queue:

static IRAM_ATTR bool i2s_rx_queue_overflow_callback(i2s_chan_handle_t handle, i2s_event_data_t *event, void *user_ctx)
{
    // handle rx queue overflow event ...
    return false;
}

i2s_event_callbacks_t cbs = {
    .on_recv = NULL,
    .on_recv_q_ovf = i2s_rx_queue_overflow_callback,
    .on_sent = NULL,
    .on_send_q_ovf = NULL,
};
TEST_ESP_OK(i2s_channel_register_event_callback(rx_handle, &cbs, NULL));

Please follow these steps to prevent data lost:

  1. Determine the interrupt interval. Generally, when data lost happened, the interval should be the bigger the better, it can help to reduce the interrupt times, i.e., dma_frame_num should be as big as possible while the DMA buffer size won’t exceed its maximum value 4092. The relationships are:

    interrupt_interval(unit: sec) = dma_frame_num / sample_rate
dma_buffer_size = dma_frame_num * slot_num * data_bit_width / 8 <= 4092

  2. Determine the dma_desc_num. The dma_desc_num is decided by the max time of i2s_channel_read polling cycle, all the received data are supposed to be stored between two i2s_channel_read. This cycle can be measured by a timer or an outputting gpio signal. The relationship is:

    dma_desc_num > polling_cycle / interrupt_interval

  3. Determine the receiving buffer size. The receiving buffer that offered by user in i2s_channel_read should be able to take all the data in all dma buffers, that means it should be bigger than the total size of all the dma buffers:

    recv_buffer_size > dma_desc_num * dma_buffer_size

For example, if there is an I2S application, and the known values are:

sample_rate = 144000 Hz
data_bit_width = 32 bits
slot_num = 2
polling_cycle = 10ms

Then the parameters dma_frame_num, dma_desc_num and recv_buf_size can be calculated according to the given known values:

dma_frame_num * slot_num * data_bit_width / 8 = dma_buffer_size <= 4092
dma_frame_num <= 511
interrupt_interval = dma_frame_num / sample_rate = 511 / 144000 = 0.003549 s = 3.549 ms
dma_desc_num > polling_cycle / interrupt_interval = cell(10 / 3.549) = cell(2.818) = 3
recv_buffer_size > dma_desc_num * dma_buffer_size = 3 * 4092 = 12276 bytes

  • Fixed to 2 slots

  • Data bit width only support 16 bits

参数

  • bits_per_sample – i2s data bit width, only support 16 bits for PDM mode

  • mono_or_stereo – I2S_SLOT_MODE_MONO or I2S_SLOT_MODE_STEREO

参数

  • rate – sample rate

I2S_PDM_TX_SLOT_DEFAULT_CONFIG(bits_per_sample, mono_or_stereo)

PDM style in 2 slots(TX)

参数

  • bits_per_sample – i2s data bit width, only support 16 bits for PDM mode

  • mono_or_stereo – I2S_SLOT_MODE_MONO or I2S_SLOT_MODE_STEREO

I2S_PDM_TX_CLK_DEFAULT_CONFIG(rate)

i2s default pdm tx clock configuration

备注

TX PDM can only be set to the following two up-sampling rate configurations: 1: fp = 960, fs = sample_rate_hz / 100, in this case, Fpdm = 128*48000 2: fp = 960, fs = 480, in this case, Fpdm = 128*Fpcm = 128*sample_rate_hz If the pdm receiver do not care the pdm serial clock, it’s recommended set Fpdm = 128*48000. Otherwise, the second configuration should be adopted.

Functions

esp_err_t i2s_new_channel(const i2s_chan_config_t *chan_cfg, i2s_chan_handle_t *ret_tx_handle, i2s_chan_handle_t *ret_rx_handle)

Allocate new I2S channel(s)

备注

The new created I2S channel handle will be REGISTERED state after it is allocated successfully.

备注

When the port id in channel configuration is I2S_NUM_AUTO, driver will allocate I2S port automatically on one of the i2s controller, otherwise driver will try to allocate the new channel on the selected port.

备注

If both tx_handle and rx_handle are not NULL, it means this I2S controller will work at full-duplex mode, the rx and tx channels will be allocated on a same I2S port in this case. Note that some configurations of tx/rx channel are shared on ESP32 and ESP32S2, so please make sure they are working at same condition and under same status(start/stop). Currently, full-duplex mode can’t guarantee tx/rx channels write/read synchronously, they can only share the clock signals for now.

备注

If tx_handle OR rx_handle is NULL, it means this I2S controller will work at simplex mode. For ESP32 and ESP32S2, the whole I2S controller (i.e. both rx and tx channel) will be occupied, even if only one of rx or tx channel is registered. For the other targets, another channel on this controller will still available.
