2.8 X32 Audio Connectivity

The PIC32CZ CA80/CA90 Curiosity Ultra development board provides an audio connection through the X32 interface to the two main audio modules in the chip, such as the SSC and the I2S. On this board the SSC interface is considered the main audio interface as shown in the following figure.

There is a 32-pin interface to the board to support the audio codec, DACs, and Bluetooth radios. This interface has two audio supply interfaces: the SSC and the I2S. In addition to this, other control lines and data interfaces are available.
