Analog Devices Inc. AD2437 A2B® Transceivers
Analog Devices AD2437 A2B® Transceivers supply a multichannel, I2S/TDM link that is up to 30m lengths between nodes. The AD2437 embeds bidirectional synchronous pulse-code modulation (PCM) data (such as digital audio), clock, and synchronization signals onto a single-pair differential cable.The ADI AD2437 A2B Transceivers support a direct point-to-point connection and facilitate multiple daisy-chained nodes at different locations. This feature contributes to and consumes time division multiplexed channel content.
