False Carrier Counter
BIT NAME TYPE RESET DESCRIPTION
15:0 False Carrier
Counter Read Only 0000h This field contains a count of the number of times the
CS8952 has detected a false-carrier -- that is, the
reception of a poorly formed Start-of-Stream Delim-
iter (SSD). The counter is incremented at the end of
such events to prevent multiple increments. This
counter is cleared upon readout and will saturate at
FFFFh.
