3. AC LINK FRAME DEFINITION
The AC-link is a bidirectional serial port with data
organized into frames consisting of one 16-bit and
twelve 20-bit time-division multiplexed slots. The
first slot, called the tag slot, contains bits indicating
if the CS4299 is ready to receive data (input frame)
and which, if any, other slots contain valid data.
Slots 1 through 12 contain audio or control/status
data. Both the serial data output and input frames
are defined from the controller perspective, not
from the CS4299 perspective.
The controller synchronizes the beginning of a
frame with the assertion of the SYNC signal.
Figure 9 shows the position of each bit location
within the frame. The first bit position in a new se-
rial data frame is F0 and the last bit position in the
serial data frame is F255. When SYNC goes active
(high) and is sampled active by the CS4299 (on the
falling edge of BIT_CLK), both devices are syn-
chronized to a new serial data frame. The data on
the SDATA_OUT pin at this clock edge is the final
bit of the previous frame’s serial data. On the next
rising edge of BIT_CLK, the first bit of Slot 0 is
driven by the controller on the SDATA_OUT pin.
On the next falling edge of BIT_CLK, the CS4299
latches this data in, as the first bit of the frame.
