The SPORT supports a very broad word length range, from three bits, all the way up to 32 bits. This encompasses and surpasses most high precision audio applications. It also has programmable internal and external clocks and frame syncs. For speech applications there is built in companding, both μ-law and A-law, and also support for a multi-channel interface, a TDM (time-division multiplexed) networked kind of interface. Finally, I²S signaling is supported.
