Looks like you are shifting out a simple countervalue (0,1, 2,...15, 0,) A freq of 48 Mhz is pretty high for mbed to use a simple DigitalOut pin since it has has a clock of only (!) 96 MHz. Maybe you could look into the I2S serial output and prepare a set of values that you then move from memory to I2S using DMA.

Hello, thanks for you answer. But can you tell me why it's pretty high to generate a 48MHz with digitalout? Yeah, I see you said it's because it has a clock of 96MHz. But could you tell me the principle?
