General Description

The CS8415A is a monolithic CMOS device which re­ceives and decodes one of 7 channels of audio data according to the IEC60958, S/PDIF, EIAJ CP1201, or AES3. The CS8415A has a serial digital audio output port and comprehensive control ability through a 4-wire microcontroller port. Channel status and user data are assembled in block sized buffers, making read access easy.
A low jitter clock recovery mechanism yields a very clean recovered clock from the incoming AES3 stream.
Stand-alone operation allows systems with no micro­controller to operate the CS8415A with dedicated output pins for channel status data.
Target applications include A/V receivers, CD-R, DVD receivers, multimedia speakers, digital mixing consoles, effects processors, set-top boxes, and computer and automotive audio systems.

Notes: 10. If Fs is lower than 46.875 kHz, the maximum CCLK frequency should be less than 128 Fs. This is
dictated by the timing requirements necessary to access the Channel Status and User Bit buffer memory. Access to the control register file can be carried out at the full 6 MHz rate. The minimum allowable input sample rate is 8 kHz, so choosing CCLK to be less than or equal to 1.024 MHz should be safe for all possible conditions.

3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The CS8415A is a monolithic CMOS device which receives and decodes audio data according to the AES3, IEC60958, S/PDIF, and EIAJ CP1201 inter­face standards.
Input data is either differential or single-ended. A low jitter clock is recovered from the incoming data using a PLL. The decoded audio data is output through a configurable, 3-wire output port. The channel status and user data are assembled in block sized buffers and may be accessed through an SPI or Two-Wire microcontroller port. For systems with no microcontroller, a stand alone mode allows direct access to channel status and user data output pins.
Target applications include AVR, CD-R, DAT, DVD, multimedia speakers, MD and VTR equip­ment, mixing consoles, digital audio transmission and receiving equipment, high quality D/A and A/D converters, effects processors, set-top TV box­es, and computer audio systems.
Figure 5 shows the supply and external connec­tions to the CS8415A, when configured for opera­tion with a microcontroller.

3.1 AES3 and S/PDIF Standards Documents

tutorial on digital audio specifications, but it should not be considered a substitute for the standards.
The paper An Understanding and Implementation
of the SCMS Serial Copy Management System for Digital Audio Transmission, by Clifton Sanchez, is
an excellent tutorial on SCMS. It is available from the AES as preprint 3518.

3.2 PLL Applications Note

See Crystal Application Note 159: PLL Filter Op­timization for the CS8415A, CS8420, and CS8427
by Patrick Muyshondt and Stuart Dudley Dimond III for a tutorial on the CS8415A Phase-Locked­Loop. This document gives equations for selecting the proper PLL filter and guidelines on laying out the PC board for the best performance.

4. SERIAL AUDIO OUTPUT PORT

A 3-wire serial audio output port is provided. The port can be adjusted to suit the attached device set­ting the control registers. The following parameters are adjustable: master or slave, serial clock fre­quency, audio data resolution, left or right justifica­tion of the data relative to left/right clock, optional one-bit cell delay of the first data bit, the polarity of the bit clock and the polarity of the left/right clock. By setting the appropriate control bits, many for­mats are possible.
This data sheet assumes that the user is familiar with the AES3 and S/PDIF data formats. It is advis­able to have current copies of the AES3 and IEC60958 specifications on hand for easy refer­ence.
The latest AES3 standard is available from the Au­dio Engineering Society or ANSI at www.aes.org or www.ansi.org. Obtain the latest IEC60958 stan­dard from ANSI or from the International Electro­technical Commission at www.iec.ch. The latest EIAJ CP-1201 standard is available from the Japa­nese Electronics Bureau.
Crystal Application Note 22: Overview of Digital Audio Interface Data Structures contains a useful
10 DS470PP3
Figure 6 shows a selection of common output for­mats, along with the control bit settings. A special AES3 direct output format is included, which al­lows the serial output port access to the V, U, and C bits embedded in the serial audio data stream. The P bit is replaced by a Z bit that marks the start of each block. The received channel status block start signal is only available in hardware mode, as the RCBL pin.
In master mode, the left/right clock and the serial bit clock are outputs, derived from the recovered RMCK clock. In slave mode, the left/right clock and the serial bit clock are inputs. The left/right clock must be synchronous to the appropriate mas-
CS8415A
ter clock, but the serial bit clock can be asynchro­nous and discontinuous if required. By appropriate phasing of the left/right clock and control of the se­rial clocks, multiple CS8415A’s can share one se­rial port. The left/right clock should be continuous, but the duty cycle can be less than the specified typ­ical value of 50% if enough serial clocks are present in each phase to clock all the data bits. When in slave mode, the serial audio output port must not be set for right-justified data. When using
the serial audio output port in slave mode with an OLRCK input which is asynchronous to the incom­ing AES3 data, then an interrupt bit(OSLIP) is pro­vided to indicate when repeated or dropped samples occur.
The CS8415A allows immediate mute of the serial audio output port audio data by the MUTESAO bit of Control Register 1.

5. AES3 RECEIVER

The CS8415A includes an AES3 digital audio re­ceiver. A comprehensive buffering scheme pro­vides read access to the channel status and user data. This buffering scheme is described in Appen­dix B.
The AES3 receiver accepts and decodes audio and digital data according to the AES3, IEC60958 (S/PDIF), and EIAJ CP-1201 interface standards. The receiver consists of a differential input stage, driven through pins RXP0 and RXN0, a PLL based clock recovery circuit, and a decoder which sepa­rates the audio data from the channel status and user data.
External components are used to terminate and iso­late the incoming data cables from the CS8415A. These components are detailed in Appendix A.

5.1 7:1 S/PDIF Input Multiplexer

The CS8415A employs a 7:1 S/PDIF Input Multi­plexer to accommodate up to seven channels of in­put digital audio data. Digital audio data is single­ended and input through the RXP0-6 pins. When any portion of the multiplexer is implemented, un­used RXP pins should be tied to ground, and RXN0 must be ac-coupled to ground. The multiplexer se­lect line control is accessed through bits MUX2:0 in the Control 2 register. The multiplexer defaults to RXP0. Therefore, the default configuration is for a differential signal to be input through RXP0 & RXN0. Please see Appendix A for recommended input circuits.

5.2 PLL, Jitter Attenuation, and Varispeed

An on-chip Phase Locked Loop (PLL) is used to re­cover the clock from the incoming data stream. There are some applications where low jitter in the recovered clock, presented on the RMCK pin, is important. For this reason, the PLL has been de­signed to have good jitter attenuation characteris­tics, shown in Figures 7 and 8. In addition, the PLL
has been designed to only use the preambles of the AES3 stream to provide lock update information to the PLL. This results in the PLL being immune to data dependent jitter affects because the AES3 pre­ambles do not vary with the data.
The PLL has the ability to lock onto a wide range of input sample rates with no external component changes. If the sample rate of the input subsequent­ly changes, for example in a varispeed application,
the PLL will only track up to ±12.5% from the nominal center sample rate. The nominal center sample rate is the sample rate that the PLL first locks onto upon application of an AES3 data stream or after enabling the CS8415A clocks by setting the RUN control bit. If the 12.5% sample rate limit is exceeded, the PLL will return to its wide lock range mode and re-acquire a new nomi­nal center sample rate.

5.2.1 OMCK System Clock Mode

A special clock switching mode is available that al­lows the clock that is input through the OMCK pin to be output through the RMCK pin. This feature is controlled by the SWCLK bit in register 1 of the control registers. When the PLL loses lock, the fre­quency of the VCO drops to 300 kHz. The clock switching mode allows the clock input through OMCK to be used as a clock in the system without any disruption when the PLL loses lock, for exam­ple, when the input is removed from the receiver. When SWCLK is enabled and this mode is imple­mented, RMCK is an output and is not bi-direction­al. This clock switching is done glitch free. Please note that internal circuitry associated with RMCK is not driven by OMCK. This means that OSCLK and OLRCK continue to be derived from the PLL and are not usable in this mode.

5.2.2 PLL External Components

The PLL behavior is affected by the external filter component values. Figure 5 shows the recom­mended configuration of the two capacitors and

one resistor required. There are two sets of compo­nent values recommended, depending on the sam­ple rate of the application, see Table 1. The default set, called “fast”, accommodates input sample rates of 32 kHz to 96 Hz with no component changes. It has the highest corner frequency jitter attenuation curve, and takes the shortest time to lock. The alter­nate component set, called “medium” allows the lowest input sample rate to be 8 kHz, and increases the lock time of the PLL. Lock times are worst case for an Fsi transition of 96 kHz.

5.3 Error Reporting and Hold Function

While decoding the incoming AES3 data stream, the CS8415A can identify several kinds of error, indicated in the Receiver Error register. The UN­LOCK bit indicates whether the PLL is locked to the incoming AES3 data. The V bit reflects the cur-
rent validity bit status. The CONF (confidence) bit indicates the amplitude of the eye pattern opening, indicating a link that is close to generating errors. The BIP (bi-phase) error bit indicates an error in in­coming bi-phase coding. The PAR (parity) bit indi­cates a received parity error.
The error bits are "sticky": they are set on the first occurrence of the associated error and will remain set until the user reads the register through the con­trol port. This enables the register to log all un­masked errors that occurred since the last time the register was read.
The Receiver Error Mask register allows masking of individual errors. The bits in this register serve as masks for the corresponding bits of the Receiver Error Register. If a mask bit is set to 1, the error is unmasked, which implies the following: its occur-

rence will be reported in the receiver error register, induce a pulse on RERR, invoke the occurrence of a RERR interrupt, and affect the current audio sam­ple according to the status of the HOLD bits. The HOLD bits allow a choice of holding the previous sample, replacing the current sample with zero (mute), or not changing the current audio sample. If a mask bit is set to 0, the error is masked, which im­plies the following: its occurrence will not be re­ported in the receiver error register, will not induce a pulse on RERR or generate a RERR interrupt, and will not affect the current audio sample. The QCRC and CCRC errors do not affect the current audio sample, even if unmasked.

5.4 Channel Status Data Handling

The first 2 bytes of the Channel Status block are de­coded into the Receiver Channel Status register. The setting of the CHS bit in the Channel Status Data Buffer Control register determines whether the channel status decodes are from the A channel (CHS = 0) or B channel (CHS = 1).
The PRO (professional) bit is extracted directly. For consumer data, the COPY (copyright) bit is ex­tracted, and the category code and L bits are decod­ed to determine SCMS status, indicated by the ORIG (original) bit. If the category code is set to General on the incoming AES3 stream, copyright will always be indicated even when the stream in­dicates no copyright. Finally, the AUDIO bit is ex­tracted and used to set an AUDIO indicator, as described in the Non-Audio Auto-Detection sec­tion below.
If 50/15 µs pre-emphasis is detected, the state of the EMPH pin is adjusted accordingly.
The encoded channel status bits which indicate sample word length are decoded according to AES3-1992 or IEC 60958. Audio data routed to the serial audio output port is unaffected by the word length settings; all 24 bits are passed on as re­ceived.
Appendix A describes the overall handling of Channel Status and User data.

5.5 User Data Handling

The incoming user data is buffered in a user acces­sible buffer. Received User data may also be output to the U pin under the control of a control register bit. Depending on the clocking options selected, there may not be a clock available to qualify the U data output. Figure 9 illustrates the timing. If the incoming user data bits have been encoded as Q­channel subcode, the data is decoded and presented in 10 consecutive register locations. An interrupt may be enabled to indicate the decoding of a new Q-channel block, which may be read through the control port.

5.5.1 Non-Audio Auto-Detection

An AES3 data stream may be used to convey non­audio data, thus it is important to know whether the incoming AES3 data stream is digital audio or not. This information is typically conveyed in channel status bit 1 (AUDIO), which is extracted automati­cally by the CS8415A. However, certain non-audio sources, such as AC-3 or MPEG encoders, may not adhere to this convention, and the bit may not be properly set. The CS8415A AES3 receiver can detect such non-audio data. This is accomplished by looking for a 96-bit sync code, consisting of 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0xF872, and 0x4E1F. When the sync code is detected, an inter­nal AUTODETECT signal will be asserted. If no additional sync codes are detected within the next 4096 frames, AUTODETECT will be de-asserted until another sync code is detected. The AUDIO bit in the Receiver Channel Status register is the logi­cal OR of AUTODETECT and the received chan­nel status bit 1. If non-audio data is detected, the data is still processed exactly as if it were normal audio. It is up to the user to mute the outputs as re­quired.

CS8415A

5.6 Mono Mode Operation

An AES3 stream may be used in more than one way to transmit 96 kHz sample rate data. One method is to double the frame rate of the current format. This results in a stereo signal with a sample rate of 96 kHz, carried over a single twisted pair ca­ble. An alternate method is implemented using the 2 sub-frames in a 48 kHz frame rate AES3 signal to carry consecutive samples of a mono signal, result­ing in a 96 kHz sample rate stream. This allows older equipment, whose AES3 transmitters and re­ceivers are not rated for 96 kHz frame rate opera­tion, to handle 96 kHz sample rate information. In this mono mode, 2 AES3 cables are needed for stereo data transfer. The CS8415A offers mono mode operation, controlled through the MMR con­trol register bit.
The receiver mono mode effectively doubles Fs compared to the input frame rate. The clock output on the RMCK pin tracks Fs, and so is doubled in frequency compared to stereo mode. The receiver will run at a frame rate of Fs/2, and the serial audio output port will run at Fs. Sub-frame A data will be routed to both the left and right data fields on SD­OUT. Similarly, sub-frame B data will be routed to both the left and right data fields of the next word clock cycle of SDOUT.
Using mono mode is only necessary if the serial au­dio output port must run at 96 kHz. If the CS8415A is kept in normal stereo mode, and receives AES3 data arranged in mono mode, then the serial audio output port will run at 48 kHz, with left and right data fields representing consecutive audio samples.
RCBL out
VLRCK
C, U Output
RCBL and C output are only available in hardware mode. RCBL goes high 2 frames after receipt of a Z pre-amble, and is high for 16 frames. VLRCK is a virtual word clock, which may not exist, but is used to illustrate the CU timing. VLRCK duty cycle is 50%. VLRCK frequency is always equal to the incoming frame rate. If the serial audio output port is in master mode, VLRCK = OLRCK. If the serial audio output port is in slave mode, then VLRCK needs to be externally created, if required. C, U transitions are aligned within 1% of VLRCK period to VLRCK edges

6. CONTROL PORT DESCRIPTION
AND TIMING
The control port is used to access the registers, al­lowing the CS8415A to be configured for the de­sired operational modes and formats. In addition, Channel Status and User data may be read through the control port. The operation of the control port may be completely asynchronous with respect to the audio sample rates. However, to avoid potential interference problems, the control port pins should remain static if no operation is required.
The control port has 2 modes: SPI and Two-Wire, with the CS8415A acting as a slave device. SPI mode is selected if there is a high to low transition on the AD0/CS
pin, after the RST pin has been brought high. Two-Wire mode is selected by con­necting the AD0/CS pin to VL+ or DGND, thereby permanently selecting the desired AD0 bit address state.

6.1 SPI Mode

In SPI mode, CS is the CS8415A chip select signal, CCLK is the control port bit clock (input into the CS8415A from the microcontroller), CDIN is the input data line from the microcontroller, CDOUT is the output data line to the microcontroller. Data is
clocked in on the rising edge of CCLK and out on the falling edge.
Figure 10 shows the operation of the control port in SPI mode. To write to a register, bring CS low. The first seven bits on CDIN form the chip address and must be 0010000. The eighth bit is a read/write in­dicator (R/W), which should be low to write. The next eight bits form the Memory Address Pointer (MAP), which is set to the address of the register that is to be updated. The next eight bits are the data which will be placed into the register designated by the MAP. During writes, the CDOUT output stays in the Hi-Z state. It may be externally pulled high or low with a 47 K resistor, if desired.
There is a MAP auto increment capability, enabled by the INCR bit in the MAP register. If INCR is a zero, the MAP will stay constant for successive read or writes. If INCR is set to a 1, the MAP will autoincrement after each byte is read or written, al­lowing block reads or writes of successive regis­ters.
To read a register, the MAP has to be set to the cor­rect address by executing a partial write cycle which finishes (CS
high) immediately after the MAP byte. The MAP auto increment bit (INCR) may be set or not, as desired. To begin a read, bring

CS low, send out the chip address and set the read/write bit (R/W) high. The next falling edge of CCLK will clock out the MSB of the addressed register (CDOUT will leave the high impedance state). If the MAP auto increment bit is set to 1, the data for successive registers will appear consecu­tively.

6.2 Two-Wire Mode

In Two-Wire mode, SDA is a bidirectional data line. Data is clocked into and out of the part by the clock, SCL, with the clock to data relationship as shown in Figure 11. There is no CS pin. Each indi­vidual CS8415A is given a unique address. Pins AD0 and AD1 form the two least significant bits of the chip address and should be connected to VL+ or DGND as desired. The EMPH pin is used to set the AD2 bit by connecting a resistor from the EMPH pin to VL+ or to DGND. The state of the pin is sensed while the CS8415A is being reset. The up­per 4 bits of the 7-bit address field are fixed at
0010. To communicate with a CS8415A, the chip address field, which is the first byte sent to the CS8415A, should match 0010 followed by the set­tings of the EMPH, AD1, and AD0. The eighth bit of the address is the R/W bit. If the operation is a write, the next byte is the Memory Address Pointer (MAP) which selects the register to be read or writ­ten. If the operation is a read, the contents of the
register pointed to by the MAP will be output. Set­ting the auto increment bit in MAP allows succes­sive reads or writes of consecutive registers. Each byte is separated by an acknowledge bit. The ACK bit is output from the CS8415A after each input byte is read, and is input to the CS8415A from the microcontroller after each transmitted byte.The Two-Wire mode is compatible with the I2C Proto­col.

6.3 Interrupts

The CS8415A has a comprehensive interrupt capa­bility. The INT output pin is intended to drive the interrupt input pin on the host microcontroller. The INT pin may be set to be active low, active high or active low with no active pull-up transistor. This last mode is used for active low, wired-OR hook­ups, with multiple peripherals connected to the mi­crocontroller interrupt input pin.
Many conditions can cause an interrupt, as listed in the interrupt status register descriptions. Each source may be masked off through mask register bits. In addition, each source may be set to rising edge, falling edge, or level sensitive. Combined with the option of level sensitive or edge sensitive modes within the microcontroller, many different configurations are possible, depending on the needs of the equipment designer.

The bits of this register serve as a mask for the Interrupt 1 register. If a mask bit is set to 1, the error is unmasked, meaning that its occurrence will affect the INT pin and the status register. If a mask bit is set to 0, the error is masked, meaning that its occurrence will not affect the INT pin or the status register. The bit positions align with the corre­sponding bits in Interrupt 1 register. This register defaults to 00h.

The two Interrupt Mode registers form a 2-bit code for each Interrupt Register 1 function. There are three ways to set the INT pin active in accordance with the interrupt condition. In the Rising edge active mode, the INT pin be­comes active on the arrival of the interrupt condition. In the Falling edge active mode, the INT pin becomes active on the removal of the interrupt condition. In Level active mode, the INT interrupt pin becomes active during the in­terrupt condition. Be aware that the active level(Actice High or Low) only depends on the INT[1:0] bits. These regis­ters default to 00.

The two Interrupt Mode registers form a 2-bit code for each Interrupt Register 1 function. There are three ways to set the INT pin active in accordance with the interrupt condition. In the Rising edge active mode, the INT pin be­comes active on the arrival of the interrupt condition. In the Falling edge active mode, the INT pin becomes active on the removal of the interrupt condition. In Level active mode, the INT interrupt pin becomes active during the in­terrupt condition. Be aware that the active level(Actice High or Low) only depends on the INT[1:0] bits. These regis­ters default to 00.

This register contains the AES3 receiver and PLL status bits. Unmasked bits will go high on occurrence of the error, and will stay high until the register is read. Reading the register resets all bits to 0, unless the error source is still true. Bits that are masked off in the receiver error mask register will always be 0 in this register. This register defaults to 00h.

0 QCRCM CCRCM UNLOCKM VM CONFM BIPM PARM
The bits in this register serve as masks for the corresponding bits of the Receiver Error Register. If a mask bit is set to 1, the error is unmasked, meaning that its occurrence will appear in the receiver error register, will affect the RERR pin, will affect the RERR interrupt, and will affect the current audio sample according to the status of the HOLD bit. If a mask bit is set to 0, the error is masked, meaning that its occurrence will not appear in the receiver error register, will not affect the RERR pin, will not affect the RERR interrupt, and will not affect the current audio sample. The CCRC and QCRC bits behave differently from the other bits: they do not affect the current audio sample even when unmasked. This register defaults to 00h.

12. APPLICATIONS

12.1 Reset, Power Down and Start-up

When RST is low, the CS8415A enters a low pow­er mode and all internal states are reset, including the control port and registers, and the outputs are muted. When RST is high, the control port be­comes operational and the desired settings should be loaded into the control registers. Writing a 1 to the RUN bit will then cause the part to leave the low power state and begin operation. After the PLL has settled, the serial audio outputs will be enabled.
Some options within the CS8415A are controlled by a start-up mechanism. During the reset state, some of the output pins are reconfigured internally to be inputs. Immediately upon exiting the reset state, the level of these pins is sensed. The pins are then switched to be outputs. This mechanism al­lows output pins to be used to set alternative modes in the CS8415A by connecting a 47 K resistor to between the pin and either VL+ (HI) or DGND (LO). For each mode, every start-up option select pin MUST have an external pull-up or pull-down resistor. In software mode, the only start-up option pin is EMPH, which is used to set a chip address bit for the control port in Two-Wire mode. The hard­ware mode uses many start-up options, which are detailed in the hardware definition section at the end of this data sheet.
ular system, and modify its behavior accordingly. To allow for future revisions, it is strongly recom­mend that the revision code is read into a variable area within the microcontroller, and used wherever appropriate as revision details become known.

12.3 Power Supply, Grounding, and PCB layout

For most applications, the CS8415A can be operat­ed from a single +5 V supply, following normal supply decoupling practices, see Figure 5. For ap­plications where the recovered input clock, output on the RMCK pin, is required to be low jitter, then use a separate, quiet, analog +5 V supply for VA+, decoupled to AGND. In addition, a separate region of analog ground plane around the FILT, AGND, VA+, RXP0-6 and RXN0 pins is recommended.
Extensive use of power and ground planes, ground plane fill in unused areas and surface mount decou­pling capacitors are recommended. Decoupling ca­pacitors should be mounted on the same side of the board as the CS8415A to minimize inductance ef­fects, and all decoupling capacitors should be as close to the CS8415A as possible.

12.2 ID Code and Revision Code

The CS8415A has a register that contains a 4-bit code to indicate that the addressed device is a CS8415A. This is useful when other CS84XX fam­ily members are resident in the same system, allow­ing common software modules.
The CS8415A 4-bit revision code is also available. This allows the software driver for the CS8415A to identify which revision of the device is in a partic-

14. APPENDIX A: EXTERNAL AES3/SPDIF/IEC60958 RECEIVER COMPONENTS

14.1 AES3 Receiver External Components

The CS8415A AES3 receiver is designed to accept both the professional and consumer interfaces. The digital audio specifications for professional use call for a balanced receiver, using XLR connectors, with 110 ±20% impedance. The XLR connector on the receiver should have female pins with a male shell. Since the receiver has a very high input im­pedance, a 110 Ω resistor should be placed across the receiver terminals to match the line impedance, as shown in Figure 12. Although transformers are not required by the AES, they are, however, strong­ly recommended.
If some isolation is desired without the use of trans­formers, a 0.01 µF capacitor should be placed in se­ries with each input pin (RXP0 and RXN0) as shown in Figure 13. However, if a transformer is not used, high frequency energy could be coupled into the receiver, causing degradation in analog performance.
Figures 12 and 13 show an optional DC blocking capacitor (0.1 µF to 0.47 µF) in series with the ca­ble input. This improves the robustness of the re­ceiver, preventing the saturation of the transformer, or any DC current flow, if a DC voltage is present on the cable.
In the configuration of systems, it is important to avoid ground loops and DC current flowing down the shield of the cable that could result when boxes with different ground potentials are connected. Generally, it is good practice to ground the shield to the chassis of the transmitting unit, and connect the shield through a capacitor to chassis ground at the receiver. However, in some cases it is advanta­geous to have the ground of two boxes held to the same potential, and the cable shield might be de­pended upon to make that electrical connection. Generally, it may be a good idea to provide the op­tion of grounding or capacitively coupling the shield to the chassis.
In the case of the consumer interface, the standards call for an unbalanced circuit having a receiver im­pedance of 75 ±5%. The connector for the con­sumer interface is an RCA phono socket. The receiver circuit for the consumer interface is shown in Figure 14. Figure 15 shows an implementation of the Input S/PDIF Multiplexer using the consum­er interface.
The circuit shown in Figure 16 may be used when external RS422 receivers, optical receivers or other TTL/CMOS logic outputs drive the CS8415A re­ceiver section.

Figure 17. Channel Status Data Buffer Structure

15. APPENDIX B: CHANNEL STATUS AND USER DATA BUFFER MANAGEMENT

15.1 AES3 Channel Status (C) Bit
Management
The CS8415A contains sufficient RAM to store a full block of C data for both A and B channels (192 x 2 = 384 bits), and also 384 bits of U information. The user may read from these buffer RAMs through the control port.
The buffering scheme involves 2 block-sized buff­ers, named D and E, as shown in Figure 17. The MSB of each byte represents the first bit in the se­rial C data stream. For example, the MSB of byte 0 (which is at control port address 32) is the consum­er/professional bit for channel status block A.
The first buffer (D) accepts incoming C data from the AES receiver. The 2nd buffer (E) accepts entire blocks of data from the D buffer. The E buffer is also accessible from the control port, allowing reading of the C data.

15.2 Accessing the E buffer

The user can monitor the incoming data by reading the E buffer, which is mapped into the register space of the CS8415A, through the control port.
The user can configure the interrupt enable register to cause interrupts to occur whenever D to E buffer transfers occur. This allows determination of the al­lowable time periods to interact with the E buffer.
Also provided is a D to E inhibit bit. This may be used whenever “long” control port interactions are occurring.
A flowchart for reading the E buffer is shown in Figure 18. Since a D to E interrupt just occurred af­ter reading, there is a substantial time interval until the next D to E transfer (approximately 24 frames worth of time). This is usually plenty of time to ac­cess the E data without having to inhibit the next transfer.

15.2.1 Reserving the first 5 bytes in the E buffer

D to E buffer transfers periodically overwrite the data stored in the E buffer. The CS8415A has the capability of reserving the first 5 bytes of the E buffer for user writes only. When this capability is in use, internal D to E buffer transfers will NOT af­fect the first 5 bytes of the E buffer. Therefore, the user can set values in these first 5 E bytes once, and the settings will persist until the next user change. This mode is enabled using the Channel Status Data Buffer Control register.

15.2.2 Serial Copy Management System (SCMS)

In software mode, the CS8415A allows read access to all the channel status bits. For consumer mode SCMS compliance, the host microcontroller needs to read and interpret the Category Code, Copy bit and L bit appropriately.
In hardware mode, the SCMS protocol can be fol­lowed by either using the COPY and ORIG output pins, or by using the C bit serial output pin. These options are documented in the hardware mode sec­tion of this data sheet.

15.2.3 Channel Status Data E Buffer Access

The E buffer is organized as 24 x 16-bit words. For each word the MS Byte is the A channel data, and the LS Byte is the B channel data (see Figure 17).
There are two methods of accessing this memory, known as one byte mode and two byte mode. The desired mode is selected by setting a control regis­ter bit.
15.2.3.1 One Byte mode
In many applications, the channel status blocks for the A and B channels will be identical. In this situ­ation, if the user reads a byte from one of the chan­nel’s blocks, the corresponding byte for the other channel will be the same. One byte mode takes ad­vantage of the often identical nature of A and B channel status data. When reading data in one byte mode, a single byte is returned, which can be from channel A or B data, depending on a register con­trol bit.
worth of information in 1 byte’s worth of access time. If the control port’s autoincrement addressing is used in combination with this mode, multi-byte accesses such as full-block reads can be done espe­cially efficiently.
15.2.3.2 Two Byte mode
There are those applications in which the A and B channel status blocks will not be the same, and the user is interested in accessing both blocks. In these situations, two byte mode should be used to access the E buffer.
In this mode, a read will cause the CS8415A to out­put two bytes from its control port. The first byte out will represent the A channel status data, and the 2nd byte will represent the B channel status data.

15.3 AES3 User (U) Bit Management

Entire blocks of U data are buffered using a cas­cade of 2 block-sized RAMs to perform the buffer­ing. The user has access to the second of these buffers, denoted the E buffer, through the control port. The U buffer access only operates in two byte mode, since there is no concept of A and B blocks for user data. The arrangement of the data is as fol­lowings: Bit15[A7]Bit14[B7]Bit13[A6]Bit12[B6]...Bit1[A 0]Bit0[B0]. The arrangement of the data in the each byte is that the MSB is the first received bit and is the first transmitted bit. The first byte read is the first byte received, and the first byte sent is the first byte transmitted. If you read two bytes from the E buffer, you will get the following arrangement:
A[7]B[7]A[6]B[6]....A[0]B[0].
One byte mode saves the user substantial control port access time, as it effectively accesses 2 bytes
