Frame headers
Information about input data, derived by the SAA2502 from the input data frame headers, may be read from the frame
header items. Both the frame header bytes decoded from the input bit stream and the header bytes used for the actual
decoding may be read.
The decoded frame header item is valid independent of the value of status flag INSYNC. It shows, for example, the
decoded headers while the SAA2500 is in the process of synchronizing.
The used frame header item is only valid if status flag INSYNC is set. The used header bytes are derived by the SAA2502
from the decoded header bytes by filling in known header fields (e.g. those that have a fixed value) and overruling
detected errors.
Table 47
Decoded frame header: 3 bytes (read-only, restricted block type, local address = 21H)
Note
1.
The EMPH1 and EMPH0 bits may only be used to monitor the current de-emphasis indication. Corresponding
de-emphasis is performed automatically before outputting the baseband audio signal.
Table 48
Used frame header: 3 bytes (read-only, restricted block type, local address = 22H)
Note
1.
The EMPH1 and EMPH0 bits may only be used to monitor the current de-emphasis indication. Corresponding
de-emphasis is performed automatically before outputting the baseband audio signal.
