valid data

Two sub-band samples (one per channel) are transmitted
per sample period with output FDAO. The transmission
pattern of the samples S [sb, ch] (sb: sub-band index; ch:
channel) is: S [0, L], S [0, R], S [1, L], S [1, R],..., S [31, R],
S [0, L], S [0, R], etc. Word select signal WS indicates the
channel of each sample (WS is also used for the baseband
audio output interfacing).
The sub-band sample bit clock SCK has a frequency of 64
times the sample frequency. The sub-band samples are
transmitted in 24 bit two's complement Pulse Code
Modulation (PCM) form, MSB first. Thus, of the available
32 FDAO bits per sample per channel, only 24 are used.
The MSB of a sample follows one SCK period after each
transition in WS. The 8 unused bits between individual
samples in FDAO are zero (SCK is used for the baseband
audio output interface as well). The optionally processed
sub-band data signal is fed back as input FDAI in a similar
format as FDAO, but now the 8 unused bits between
individual samples are undefined; they are neglected by
the SAA2501.
A leading edge in signal FDFSY indicates the start of each
FDAO frame. The length of each FDFSY pulse is one
sample period; FDFSY is HIGH during a S[0,L] and S[0,R]
