The Well Synchronized Asynchronous FIFO buffer – USB interface
The TWSAFB-USB is an asynchronous USB receiver intended to isolate the DAC from the source,
getting them operating in different and fully isolated time domains. This way the jitter of the source
cannot affect the DAC. Practically the incoming I2S/DSD data are processed by an XMOS
processor which works in slave mode. This means that the outgoing data are synchronized in a
different time domain managed by the master clock and optically isolated from the incoming data,
preventing source jitter from crossing the receiver and affecting the DAC. In practice, this allows
the output signals to be regenerated starting from a much more precise clock than that of the
source.
The TWSAFB-USB receiver provides digital outputs to drive most of the DAC on the market,
sigma-delta and I2S DACs. It provides I2S and DSD output.
