Conexant Proprietary Information
AC-link Interface Description
The Controller implements an AC’97 compatible AC-link serial interface for connection with Conexant AMC’97 or MC’97
compliant combined audio/modem codec devices. AC-link is a 5-pin digital serial interface which supports time-multiplexed
transfer of command data/status and audio/modem stream sample data. The link is tied to a 48 kHz sample period. The
controller does not support the ‘double rate’ AC-Link feature.
For additional information on the AC-link Interface, refer to the AMC’97 Modem Codec Product Description (Order No. 1204).

AC-link Protocol
The BIT_CLK is driven by the Codec at 12.288 MHz. There are therefore 256 cycles of BIT_CLK in a 48 kHz sample period.
Transitions on the SYNC and SDATA_IN/SDATA_OUT signals occur coincidentally with the rising edges of BIT_CLK. These
signals should be sampled by their receiver on the next falling edge of BIT_CLK.
SYNC is driven by the Controller with a 48 kHz period. The waveform is high for 16 BIT_CLK cycles and low for the remaining
240 cycles.
An AC-link frame is defined to begin one clock period after the rising edge of SYNC. (i.e., at the rising edge of BIT_CLK
following the one at which SYNC transitioned from 0 to 1) The frame is divided into 13 slots, numbered 0 through 12, in the
order in which they are transmitted (12 is last). The first slot (0) is 16 BIT_CLK cycles long. The remaining 12 slots are each
20 BIT_CLK cycles long. The bit cycles within each slot are numbered from 15 to 0 (slot 0) or 19 to 0 (slots 1 through 12),
again in the order in which they are transmitted (0 is last).

Cold Reset
At power-up, the RESET# signal, which provides reset to the AMC’97 Codec, is held low for the appropriate amount of time
and then deasserted. Other portions of the controller will remain reset until the BIT_CLK signal has had enough time to
become active and the controller’s internal logic has had enough time to stabilize.
Warm Reset
An AMC’97 Warm Reset is supported by the controller.
