Hi Community!

 

I am curious about the description in the reference manual, so let me ask a question.

In "i.MX 8M Plus Applications Processor Reference Manual, Rev. 1," pp 5944, there is a description "SAI1 supports up to 8 I2S/TDM Tx lanes and 8 I2S/TDM Rx lanes at 768kHz/32-bit".

But The number of SAI1 channels is not mentioned.

Is it possible to transmit/receive 16 channels of 384KHz/32-bit (16*384K*4 = 25MB/sec) with 8 TDM Tx/Rx lane in SAI1 on IMX8MP?

Hello!

For IMX8MP that is possible.

The SAI1 has 16 channels.

Your requirements can be handled for the IMX8MP or the IMX8MQ and you can see that in this post

 

Best regards!

I understand. It looks like the design work will proceed as planned.

Hi @Alejandro_Salas san.

 

I'm sorry, but let me just check a few more points.

* IMX8MP supports up to 768KHz; can it also run 16ch * 768Khz/32bit (~50MB/s)?

* Is there a SAI that supports 32ch TDM?

Hello @Takashi_Kashiwagi , apologies for delay.

 

Yes, you can see in the page that you mentioned (5944 of the reference manual) that is possible.

About of SAI that supports 32 channels, that is not possible for the IMX8M family.

 

Best regards!
