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.

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.

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.
3.2PLL 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 DigitalAudio Interface Data Structures contains a useful
10DS470PP3
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.

CS8415A
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.
5.17:1 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.
5.2PLL, 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.
5.2.1OMCK 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.
5.2.2PLL 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.
5.3Error 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.
5.4Channel 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.
5.5User 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.
5.5.1Non-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.
DS470PP315
CS8415A
5.6Mono 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.
6.1SPI 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 KΩ 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.
6.2Two-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.
6.3Interrupts
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.

12. APPLICATIONS
12.1Reset, 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 KΩ 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.
12.3Power 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.
12.2ID 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-

2. Dimension “b” does not include dambar protrusion/intrusion. Allowable dambar protrusion shall be

3. These dimensions apply to the flat section of the lead between 0.10 and 0.25 mm from lead tips.
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 Ω ±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 Ω ±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.

15. APPENDIX B: CHANNEL STATUS
AND USER DATA BUFFER
MANAGEMENT
15.1AES3 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.
15.2Accessing 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.
15.2.1Reserving 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.

15.2.2Serial 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.
15.2.3Channel 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.
15.2.3.1One 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.
15.2.3.2Two 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.
15.3AES3 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
