Introduction
High performance, multichannel audio applications are evolving at a rapid rate. In the consumer
space, many standards have been defined. For example:
•
Theater and home theater surround standards including: Dolby Pro Logic (II)
, Dolby Digital
(EX)
, DTS(-ES)
, Sony Dynamic Digital Sound (SDDS
).
•
Digital audio formats for portable and/or higher density (greater compression) playback:
MPEG 2 Layer 3 (MP3), AAC, MPEG 4, Microsoft Windows Media, Meridian Lossless
Packing(MLP)
(DVD-Audio), Rich Music Format (RMF)
.
In addition to consumer standards, many companies are developing their own high performance
multichannel audio applications. Digital technology is being applied to large venues such as
stadiums, auditoriums, and movie theaters to tune the listening experience to the room
acoustics. Audio broadcast, production, and recording equipment implement effects generation
as well as multichannel audio mixing, equalization, enhancement, and music.

System I/O
Figure 1 shows a block diagram of a digital surround receiver. Figure 2 generalizes that to many
high performance multichannel audio systems. The TMS320C6713’s peripheral set enables
ease of connection to the major elements of these systems. The peripheral set includes:
•
Two McASPs that provide simple cost effective, connectivity to multiple serial digital audio
streams
•
Two Inter-IC (I2C) buses for connection to serial ROMs or to control other system interface
devices like user I/O
•
A dedicated general-purpose input/output (GPIO) module to provide direct control lines to
system components, eliminating much of the glue logic in many designs
