Functional Description
System and Interface Description
PT8401 is capable of decoding MPEG audio bitstream through a serial data interface. With proper external
A/D converter, it is capable of encoding audio signal by the ADPCM Method. The primary operating mode
of PT8401 is divided into three sections: MP3 Decoder, ADPCM Encoder and ADPCM Decoder.
MP3 Decoding Mode: The bitstream input may either be from the first serial bitstream interface or parallel
bitstream interface depending on the SP_SEL command. After processing, the audio data is outputted
through the serial output interface. The controller can get bitstream information through GPIO or I2C
interface even while the process is still in operation.
ADPCM Encoding Mode: By connecting additional A/D to the second serial data interface and by
issuing several basic commands like SetMode and AdpcmMode via I2C or GPIO, PT8401 can start
ADPCM encoding, bitstream output through GPIO. Please refer to the Start-up Configuration and GPIO
Setting Section for detailed timing diagram.
