SLIMbus (Serial Low Power Interchip Media Bus) is a specification
developed by MIPI (Mobile Industry Processor Interface) alliance.
SLIMbus is a 2-wire implementation, which is used to communicate with
peripheral components like audio. Commonly used digital audio
interfaces such as I2S, PCM are intended for point-to-point connection
between application processor and single audio device and support one
or two channels. Adding more channels or functions is difficult
without increasing number of bus structures and hence pin count.
In parallel to audio channels, control buses such as I2C are typically
used for low-bandwidth control tasks.
SLIMbus replaces many digital audio buses and control buses by
providing flexible and dynamic bus-bandwidth between data-functions
and control-functions.
