Signal Description
SDO0
Output
Driven 
High
Serial Data Output 0 (SDO0)
—SDO0 is the serial output for 
transmitter 0. SDO0 is driven high if transmitter 0 is disabled, 
during individual reset, hardware reset, and software reset, 
or when the DSP is in the Stop state.
SDO1
Output
Driven 
High
Serial Data Output 1 (SDO1)
—SDO1 is the serial output for 
transmitter 1. SDO1 is driven high if transmitter 1 is disabled, 
during individual reset, hardware reset and software reset, or 
when the DSP is in the Stop state.
SDO2
Output
Driven 
High
Serial Data Output 2 (SDO2)
—SDO2 is the serial output for 
transmitter 2. SDO2 is driven high if transmitter 2 is disabled, 
during individual reset, hardware reset and software reset, or 
when the DSP is in the Stop state.
SCKT
Input or 
Output
Tri-stated
Serial Clock
Transmit (SCKT)
—This signal provides the 
clock for the SAI. SCKT can be an output if the transmit 
section is configured as a master, or a Schmitt-trigger input if 
the transmit section is configured as a slave. When the SCKT 
is an output, it provides an internally generated SAI transmit 
clock to external circuitry. When the SCKT is an input, it 
allows external circuitry to clock data out of the SAI.
Note:
SCKT is high impedance if all transmitters are disabled 
(individual reset), during hardware reset, software reset, or 
while the DSP is in the Stop state. While in the high 
impedance state, the internal input buffer is disconnected 
from the pin and no external pull-up is necessary.
WST
Input or 
Output
Tri-stated
Word Select Transmit (WST)
—WST is an output if the 
transmit section is programmed as a master, and a Schmitt-
trigger input if it is programmed as a slave. WST is used to 
synchronize the data word and select the left/ right portion of 
the data sample.
Note:
WST is high impedance if all transmitters are disabled 
(individual reset), during hardware or software reset, or 
while the DSP is in the Stop state. While in the high 
impedance state, the internal input buffer is disconnected 
from the pin and no external pull-up is necessary.
