Abstract
A system may include an audio coder-decoder (codec) having a plurality of digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and a plurality of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), a serial interface communicatively coupled to the audio codec wherein the serial interface is configured to communicate audio streams to or from the audio codec, wherein the audio codec is configured to be configured as a device on the serial interface, and logic configured to control performance of a communication path within the audio codec based on one or more system conditions associated with the system.
Claims30
A system comprising:
- an audio coder-decoder (codec) having a plurality of digital-to-analog converters (DACs);
- a serial interface communicatively coupled to the audio codec wherein the serial interface is configured to communicate audio streams to or from the audio codec, wherein the audio codec is configured to be configured as a device on the serial interface;
- and
- logic configured to control performance of a communication path within the audio codec based on one or more system conditions associated with the system.
A method for use in a system comprising an audio coder-decoder (codec) having a plurality of digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and a serial interface communicatively coupled to the audio codec wherein the serial interface is configured to communicate audio streams to or from the audio codec, wherein the audio codec is configured to be configured as a device on the serial interface, the method comprising:
- controlling performance of a communication path within the audio codec based on one or more system conditions associated with the system.
