SAA7370
7 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
7.1 Decoder part
7.1.1 P
RINCIPLE OPERATIONAL MODES OF THE DECODER
The decoding part can operate at different disc speeds,
from single-speed (n = 1) up to 4 times speed (n = 4).
The factor ‘n’ is called the overspeed factor. A simplified
data flow through the decoder part is illustrated in Fig.6.
7.1.2 D
ECODING SPEED AND CRYSTAL FREQUENCY
The SAA7370 is a multi-speed decoding device, with an
internal phase-locked loop (PLL) clock multiplier.
Depending on the crystal frequency used and the internal
clock settings (selectable via registers B and E), the
playback speeds shown in Table 1 are possible, where ‘n’
is the overspeed factor. An internal clock multiplier is
present, controlled by SELPLL, and should only be used if
an 8.4672 MHz crystal, ceramic resonator or external
clock is present.
7.1.3 L
OCK-TO-DISC MODE
For high speed CD ROM applications, the SAA7370 has a
special mode, the lock-to-disc mode. This allows Constant
Angular Velocity (CAV) disc playback with varying input
data rates from the inside-to-outside of the disc. In the
lock-to-disc mode, the FIFO is blocked and the decoder
will adjust its output data rate to the disc speed. Hence, the
frequency of the I2S-bus (WCLK and SCLK) clocks are
dependent on the disc speed. In the lock-to-disc mode
there is a limit on the maximum variation in disc speed that
the SAA7370 will follow. Disc speeds must always be
within 25% to 100% range of their nominal value.
The lock-to-disc mode is enabled/disabled by register E.
7.1.4 S
TANDBY MODES
The SAA7370 may be placed in two standby modes
selected by register B (it should be noted that the device
core is still active):
Standby 1: ‘CD-STOP’ mode. Most I/O functions are
switched off.
Standby 2: ‘CD-PAUSE’ mode. Audio output features
are switched off, but the motor loop, the motor output
and the subcode interfaces remain active. This is also
called a ‘Hot Pause’.
In the standby modes the various pins will have the
following values:
MOTO1 and MOTO2: put in high-impedance, PWM
mode (standby 1 and reset, operating in standby 2).
Put in high-impedance, PDM mode (standby 1 and
reset, operating in standby 2).
SCL, SDA, SILD and RAB: no interaction. Normal
operation continues.
SCLK, WCLK, DATA, EF, CL11 and DOBM: 3-state in
both standby modes. Normal operation continues after
reset.
CRIN, CROUT, CL16 and CL4: no interaction. Normal
operation continues.
V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, CFLG and C2FAIL: no interaction.
Normal operation continues.

Note
1. The CL11 output is always a 5.6448 MHz clock if a 16.9344 MHz external clock is used and SELPLL = 0.
