Abstract

See full text

A digital audio system on a chip includes a plurality of general purpose input/output (GPIO) modules operably coupled to the bus. Each of the plurality of GPIO modules includes a plurality of GPIO cells, wherein a GPIO cell of the plurality of GPIO cells is coupled to a pin of the digital audio SOC. A first GPIO module of the plurality of GPIO modules functions, in a first mode, as an input/output for system management and functions, in a second mode, as an output. A second GPIO module of the plurality of GPIO modules functions, in a first mode, as an I.sup.2C input/output, and functions, in a second mode, as an input/output.
