DESCRIPTION
TSI's STAC9752A/9753A are general purpose 20-bit, full
duplex, audio CODECs conforming to the analog compo-
nent specification of AC'97 (Audio CODEC 97 Component
Specification Rev. 2.3). The STAC9752A/9753A incorpo-
rates TSI's proprietary SD technology.
The AC’97 CODEC is designed to achieve a DAC SNR in
excess of 94dB. The DACs, ADCs, and mixer are inte-
grated with analog I/Os, which include four analog
line-level stereo inputs, two analog line-level mono inputs,
two stereo outputs, and one mono output channel.
The STAC9752A/9753A includes digital input/output capa-
bility for support of modern PC systems, with an output that
supports the SPDIF format. The STAC9752A/9753A is a
standard 2-channel stereo CODEC. With TSI’s headphone
drive capability, headphones can be driven with without an
external amplifier.
The STAC9752A/9753A may be used as a secondary
CODEC, with the STAC9700/21/56/08/84/50/52 as the pri-
mary, in a multiple CODEC configuration conforming to the
AC'97 Rev. 2.3 specification. This configuration can provide
the true six-channel, AC-3 playback required for DVD appli-
cations.
The STAC9752A/9753A communicates via the five-wire
AC-Link to any digital component of AC'97, providing flexi-
bility in the audio system design.
Packaged in an AC'97 compliant 48-pin TQFP, the
STAC9752A/9753A can be placed on a motherboard,
daughter boards, PCI, AMR, CNR, MDC or ACR cards.
The STAC9752A/9753A provides variable sample rate Dig-
ital-to-Analog (DA) and Analog-to-Digital (AD) conversion,
mixing, and analog processing.
Supported audio sample rates include 48 KHz, 44.1 KHz,
32 KHz, 22.05 KHz, 16 KHz, 11.025 KHz, and 8 KHz; addi-
tional rates are supported in the STAC9752A/9753A soft
audio drivers. All ADCs and DACs operate at 20-bit resolu-

1.2. Description
TSI's STAC9752A/9753A are general purpose 20-bit, full duplex, audio CODECs conforming to the
analog component specification of AC'97 (Audio Codec 97 Component Specification Rev. 2.3). The
STAC9752A/9753A incorporates TSI's proprietary SD technology to achieve a DAC SNR in excess
of 92dB. The DACs, ADCs and mixer are integrated with analog I/Os, which include four analog
line-level stereo inputs, two analog line-level mono inputs, two stereo outputs, and one mono output
channel.
The STAC9752A/9753A include digital output capability for support of modern PC systems with an
output that supports the SPDIF format.
The STAC9752A/9753A are standard 2-channel stereo CODEC. With TSI’s headphone drive capa-
bility, headphones can be driven without an external amplifier.
The STAC9700/21/44/56/08/84/50/66 may be used as a secondary or tertiary CODEC, with the
STAC9752A/9753A as the primary, in a multiple CODEC configuration conforming to the AC'97 Rev.
2.3 specification. This configuration can provide the true six-channel, AC-3 playback required for
DVD applications.

AC’97 2.3 CODECs with Stereo Microphone & Universal Jack
The STAC9752A/9753A communicates via the five wire AC-Link to any digital component of AC'97,
providing flexibility in the audio system design.
Packaged in an AC'97 compliant 48-pin LQFP or in the 32-pad/pin QFN, the STAC9752A/9753A can
be placed on motherboards, daughter boards, PCI, AMR, CNR, MDC or ACR cards.
The STAC9752A/9753A block diagram is illustrated in Figure 1.
The STAC9752A/9753A provides variable sample rate Digital-to-Analog (DA) and Analog-to-Digital
(AD) conversion, mixing, and analog processing. Supported audio sample rates include 48 KHz,
44.1 KHz, 32 KHz, 22.05 KHz, 16 KHz, 11.025 KHz, and 8 KHz; additional rates are supported in the
STAC9752A/9753A soft audio drivers All ADC's and DAC's operate at 20-bit resolution.
Two 20-Bit DACs convert the digital stereo PCM_OUT content to audio. The MIXER block combines
the PCM_OUT with any analog sources to drive the LINE_OUT and HP_OUT outputs. The
MONO_OUT delivers either mic only, or a mono mix of sources from the MIXER. The stereo, vari-
able-sample-rate, 20-bit ADCs provide record capability for any mix of mono or stereo sources, and
deliver a digital stereo PCM-in signal back to the AC-Link. The microphone input in mono mode and
the mono mix input can be recorded simultaneously, thus allowing for an all digital output in support
of the digital-ready initiative. For a digital-ready record path, the microphone is connected to the left
channel ADC while the mono output of the stereo mixer is connected to right channel ADC.
The STAC9752A/9753A includes full Stereo Microphone Pre-Amp support and can be used with the
10, 20 and 30dB Microphone Boost options. This integration allows for additional cost savings and
options.
The STAC9752A/9753A also includes TSI’s Universal Jacks™ functionality for jack interchangeabil-
ity. The STAC9752A/9753A includes internal jack sensing using proprietary current- and imped-
ance-sensing techniques. The impedance load on any of the inputs or outputs, including the
Headphone and Line Outputs, can be detected. This enables jack sensing on the Headphone and
Line_Out. The STAC9752A/9753A jack sense can detect the presence of devices on the Head-
phone and Line Outputs and on both Mic inputs.
The STAC9752A/9753A implementation of jack sense uses the Extended Paging Registers defined
by the AC'97 2.3 Specification. This allows for additional registry space to hold the identification
information about the CODEC, the jack sensing details and results, and the external surroundings of
the CODEC. The information within the Extended Paging Registers will allow for the automatic con-
figuration of the audio subsystem without end-user intervention. For example, the BIOS can popu-
late the Extended Paging Registers with valuable information for both the audio driver and the
operating system such as gain and attenuation stages, input population and input phase. With this
input information, the TSI driver will automatically provide to the Volume Control Panel only the vol-
ume sliders that are implemented in the system, thus improving the end-user's experience with the
PC.
The information in the Extended Paging Registers will also allow for automatic configuration of
microphone inputs, the ability to switch between SPDIF and analog outputs, the routing of the mas-
ter volume slider to the proper physical output, and SoftEQ configurations. The fully parametric TSI
SoftEQ can be initiated upon jack insertion and sensed impedance levels.
The STAC9752A/9753A also offers two styles of PC BEEP, Analog and Digital. The digital PC BEEP
is a new feature added to the AC’97 Specification Rev 2.3.
The STAC9752A/9753A is designed primarily to support stereo (2-speaker) audio. True AC-3 play-
back can be achieved for 6-speaker applications by taking advantage of the multi-CODEC option

NOTE: PIN 48: TO DISABLE SPDIF, USE AN 1 KW - 10 KW EXTERNAL PULLUP RESISTOR.
Note: The CD_GND signal is an AC signal return for the two CD input channels. It is normally
biased at about 2.5V. The name of the pin in the AC’97 specification is CD_GND, and this has
confused many designers. It should not have any DC path to GND. Connecting the CD_GND
signal directly to ground will change the internal bias of the entire CODEC, and cause significant
distortion. If there is no analog CD input, then this pin can be No-Connect.

3.3. Split Independent Power Supply Operation
In PC applications, one power supply input to the STAC9752A/9753A may be derived from a supply
regulator and the other directly from the PCI power supply bus. When power is applied to the PC, the
regulated supply input to the IC will be applied some time delay after the PCI power supply. Without
proper on-chip partitioning of the analog and digital circuitry, some manufacturer's CODECs would
be subject to on-chip SCR type latch-up.
TSI’s STAC9752A/9753A specifically allows power-up sequencing delays between the analog
(AVddx) and digital (VDddx) supply pins. These two power supplies can power-up independently
and at different rates with no adverse effects to the CODEC. The IC is designed with independent
analog and digital circuitry that prevents on-chip SCR type latch-up.
However, the STAC9752A/9753A is not designed to operate for extended periods with only the ana-
log supply active.

AC’97 2.3 CODECs with Stereo Microphone & Universal Jack
4. CONTROLLER, CODEC, AND AC-LINK
This section describes the physical and high-level functional aspects of the AC‘97 Controller to
CODEC interface, referred to as the AC-Link.
4.1. AC-Link Physical interface
The STAC9752A/9753A communicates with its companion Digital Controller via the AC-Link digital
serial interface. AC-Link has been defined to support connections between a single Controller and
up to four CODECs. All digital audio, modem and handset data streams, as well as all control (com-
mand/status) information are communicated over this serial interconnect, which consists of a clock
(BIT_CLK), frame synchronization (SYNC), serial data in (SDATA_IN), serial data out
(SDATA_OUT), and a reset (RESET#).
4.2. Controller to Single CODEC
The simplest and most common AC‘97 system configuration is a point-to-point AC-Link connection
between Controller and the STAC9752A/9753A, as illustrated in Figure 12.
Figure 12. AC-Link to its Companion Controller
A primary CODEC may act as either a source or a consumer of the BIT_CLK, depending on the con-
figuration.
While RESET# is asserted, if a clock is present at the BIT_CLK pin for at least five cycles before
RESET# is de-asserted, then the CODEC is a consumer of BIT_CLK, and must not drive BIT_CLK
when RESET# is de-asserted. The clock is being provided by other than the primary CODEC, for
instance by the controller or an independent clock chip. In this case the primary CODEC must act as
a consumer of the BIT_CLK signal as if it were a secondary CODEC.
This clock source detection must be done each time the RESET# line is asserted. In the case of a
warm reset, where the clock is halted but RESET# is not asserted, the CODEC must remember the
clock source, and not begin generating the clock on the assertion of SYNC if the CODEC had previ-
ously determined that it was a consumer of BIT_CLK.
The STAC9752A/9753A uses the XTAL_OUT pin (Pin 3) and the CID0 and CID1 pins (Pins 45 & 46)
to determine its alternate clock frequencies. See section 2.2.4: page 18 for additional information on
Crystal Elimination and for supported clock frequencies.
If, when the RESET# signal has been de-asserted, the CODEC has not detected a signal on
BIT_CLK as defined in the previous paragraph then the AC‘97 CODEC derives its clock internally
from an externally attached 24.576 MHz crystal or oscillator, or optionally from an external
14.318 MHz oscillator, and drives a buffered 12.288 MHz clock to its digital Controller over AC-Link
under the signal name “BIT_CLK”. Clock jitter at the DACs and ADCs is a fundamental impediment
to high quality output, and the internally generated clock will provide AC‘97 components with a clean
SYNC

clock that is independent of the physical proximity of AC‘97’s Digital Controller (henceforth referred
to as “the Controller”).
If BIT_CLK begins toggling while the RESET# signal is still asserted, the clock is being provided by
other than the primary CODEC, for instance by the controller or by a discrete clock source. In this
case, the primary CODEC must act as a consumer of the BIT_CLK signal as if it were a secondary
CODEC.
The beginning of all audio sample packets, or Audio Frames, transferred over AC-Link is synchro-
nized to the rising edge of the SYNC signal. SYNC is driven by the Controller. The Controller gener-
ates SYNC by dividing BIT_CLK by 256 and applying some conditioning to tailor its duty cycle. This
yields a 48 KHz SYNC signal whose period defines an audio frame. Data is transitioned on AC-Link
on every rising edge of BIT_CLK, and subsequently sampled by the receiving device on the receiv-
ing side of AC-Link on each immediately following falling edge of BIT_CLK.
4.3. Controller to Multiple CODECs
Several vendor specific methods of supporting multiple CODEC configurations on AC-Link have
been implemented or proposed, including CODECs with selective AC-Link pass-through and con-
trollers with duplicate AC-Links.
Potential implementations include:
• 6-channel audio using 3 x 2-channel CODECs
• Separate CODECs for independent audio and modem AFE
• Docking stations, where one CODEC is in the laptop and another is in the dock
This specification defines support for up to four CODECs on the AC-Link. By definition there can be
one Primary CODEC (ID 00) and up to three Secondary CODECs (IDs 01,10, and 11). The CODEC
ID functions as a chip select. Secondary devices therefore have completely orthogonal register sets;
each is individually accessible and they do not share registers.
Multiple CODEC AC-Link implementations must run off a common BIT_CLK. They can potentially
save Controller pins by sharing SYNC, SDATA_OUT, and RESET# from the AC‘97 Digital Controller.
Each device requires its own SDATA_IN pin back to the Controller. This prevents contention of multi-
ple devices on one serial input line.
Support for multiple CODEC operation necessitates a specially designed Controller. An AC‘97 Digi-
tal Controller that supports multiple CODEC configurations implements multiple SDATA_IN inputs,
supporting one Primary CODEC and up to three Secondary CODECs.
4.3.1. Primary CODEC Addressing
Primary AC‘97 CODECs respond to register read and write commands directed to CODEC ID 00
(see Section 4 for details of the Primary and Secondary CODEC addressing protocols). Primary
devices must be configurable (by hardwiring, strap pin(s), or other methods) as CODEC ID 00, and
reflect this in the two-bit CODEC ID field(s) of the Extended Audio and/or Extended Modem ID Reg-
ister(s).
The Primary CODEC may either drive the BIT_CLK signal or consume a signal provided by the Dig-
ital Controller or other clock generator.

AC’97 2.3 CODECs with Stereo Microphone & Universal Jack
4.3.2. Secondary CODEC Addressing
Secondary AC‘97 CODECs respond to register read and write commands directed to CODEC IDs
01, 10, or 11. Secondary devices must be configurable (via hardwiring, strap pin(s), or other meth-
ods) as CODEC IDs 01, 10, or 11 in the two-bit field(s) of the Extended Audio and/or Extended
Modem ID Register(s).
CODECs configured as Secondary must power up with the BIT_CLK pin configured as an input.
Using the provided BIT_CLK signal is necessary to ensure that everything on the AC-Link is syn-
chronous. BIT_CLK is the clock source (multiplied by 2 so that the internal rate is 24.576 MHz).
4.3.3. CODEC ID Strapping
Audio CODECs in the 48-pin package use pins 45 and 46 (defined as ID0# and ID1#) as strapping
(i.e. configuration) pins to configure the CODEC ID. The ID0# and ID1# strapping bits adopt inverted
polarity and default to 00 = Primary (via a weak internal pullup) when left floating. This eliminates the
need for external resistors for CODECs configured as Primary, and maintains backward compatibility
with existing layouts that treat pins 45 and 46 as “no connect” or a capacitor connected to ground.
Pulldowns are typically 0-10 KW and connected to Digital (not Analog) Ground.
4.4. Clocking for Multiple CODEC Implementations
To keep the system synchronous, all Primary and Secondary CODEC clocking must be derived from
the same clock source, so they are operating on the same time base. In addition, all AC-Link proto-
col timing must be based on the BIT_CLK signal, to ensure that everything on the AC-Link will be
synchronous.
The following are potential 24.576 MHz clock options available to a Secondary CODEC:
• Using an external 24.576 MHz signal source (external oscillator or AC‘97 Digital Controller)
• Using the Primary’s crystal out
• Using the Primary’s BIT_CLK output to derive 24.576 MHz
See section 2.2.4: page 18 for clock frequencies supported and configurations.
4.5. STAC9752A/9753A as a Primary CODEC
Primary devices are required to support correctly either of the following clocking options:
• 24.576 MHz crystal attached to XTAL_IN and XTAL_OUT
• 24.576 MHz external oscillator provided to XTAL_IN
• 12.288 MHz oscillator provided to the BIT_CLK input
The Primary device may also optionally support the following clocking option:
• 14.318 MHz external oscillator provided to XTAL_IN

24.576 MHz clock)
• BIT_CLK input provided by the Primary. In this mode, a clock at XTAL_IN (Pin 2) is ignored.
See section 2.2.4: page 18 for clock frequencies supported and configurations.
4.6. AC-Link Power Management
4.6.1. Powering down the AC-Link
The AC-Link signals can be placed in a low power mode. When AC‘97’s Powerdown Register (26h)
is programmed to the appropriate value, both BIT_CLK and SDATA_IN are brought to and held at a
logic low voltage level. After signaling a reset to AC‘97, the AC‘97 Controller should not attempt to
play or capture audio data until it has sampled a CODEC Ready indication from AC‘97.
Figure 13. STAC9752A/9753A Powerdown Timing
BIT_CLK and SDATA_IN are transitioned low immediately following decode of the write to the Pow-
erdown Register (26h) with PR4. When the AC‘97 Controller driver is at the point where it is ready to
program the AC-Link into its low power mode, slots 1 and 2 are assumed to be the only valid stream
in the audio output frame.
After programming the AC‘97 device to this low power, halted mode, the AC‘97 Controller is required
to drive and keep SYNC and SDATA_OUT low.
Once the AC‘97 CODEC has been instructed to halt BIT_CLK, a special “wake-up” protocol must be
used to bring the AC-Link to the active mode since normal audio output and input frames can not be
communicated in the absence of BIT_CLK.
4.6.2. Waking up the AC-Link
There are two methods for bringing the AC-Link out of a low power, halted mode. Regardless of the
method, it is the AC‘97 Controller that performs the wake-up task.

4.6.2.1. Controller Initiates Wake-up
AC-Link protocol provides for a “Cold AC‘97 Reset”, and a “Warm AC‘97 Reset”. The current power-
down state would ultimately dictate which form of AC‘97 reset is appropriate. Unless a “cold” or “reg-
ister” reset (a write to the Reset Register) is performed, wherein the AC‘97 registers are initialized to
their default values, registers are required to keep state during all powerdown modes.
Once powered down, re-activation of the AC-Link via re-assertion of the SYNC signal must not occur
for a minimum of four audio frame times following the frame in which the powerdown was triggered.
When AC-Link powers up the CODEC indicates readiness via the CODEC Ready bit (input slot 0, bit
15).
4.6.2.2. CODEC Initiates Wake-up
The STAC9752A/9753A (running off Vaux) can trigger a wake event (PME#) by transitioning
SDATA_IN from low to high and holding it high until either a warm or cold reset is observed on the
AC-Link. This functionality is typically implemented in modem CODECs that detect ring, Caller ID,
etc.
Note that when the AC-Link is either programmed to the low power mode or shut off completely,
BIT_CLK may stop if the primary CODEC is supplying the clock, which shuts down the AC-Link clock
to the Secondary CODEC1. In order for a Secondary CODEC to react to an external event (phone
ringing), it must support an independent clocking scheme for any PME# associated logic that must
be kept alive when the AC-Link is down. This includes logic to asynchronously drive SDATA_IN to a
logic high-level, which signals a wake request to the AC‘97 Digital Controller.
4.6.3. CODEC Reset
There are three types of AC‘97 reset:
•a cold reset where all AC‘97 logic (most registers included) is initialized to its default state
•a warm reset where the contents of the AC‘97 register set are left unaltered
•a register reset which only initializes the AC‘97 registers to their default states
4.6.3.1. Cold AC‘97 Reset
A cold reset is achieved by asserting RESET# low for the minimum specified time, then subse-
quently de-asserting RESET# high. BIT_CLK and SDATA_IN will be activated, or re-activated as the
case may be, and all AC‘97 control registers will be initialized to their default power on reset values.
RESET# is an asynchronous AC‘97 input.
4.6.3.2. Warm AC‘97 Reset
A warm AC‘97 reset will re-activate the AC-Link without altering the current AC‘97 register values. A
warm reset is signaled by driving SYNC high for a minimum of 1 ms in the absence of BIT_CLK.
Within normal audio frames SYNC is a synchronous AC‘97 input. However, in the absence of
BIT_CLK, SYNC is treated as an asynchronous input used in the generation of a warm reset to
AC‘97.

AC‘97 MUST NOT respond with the activation of BIT_CLK until SYNC has been sampled low again
by AC‘97. This will preclude the false detection of a new audio frame.

value) to the Reset Register, 00h.

5. AC-LINK DIGITAL INTERFACE
5.1. Overview
AC-Link is the 5-pin digital serial interface that links AC‘97 CODEC to the Controller. The AC-Link
protocol is a bi-directional, fixed clock rate, serial digital stream. AC-Link handles multiple input and
output PCM audio streams, as well as control register accesses employing a time division multi-
plexed (TDM) scheme that divides each audio frame into 12 outgoing and 12 incoming data streams,
each with 20-bit sample resolution.
The STAC9752A/9753A DACs, ADCs, and SPDIF can be assigned to slots 3&4, 6&9, 7&8 or 10&11.

AC’97 2.3 CODECs with Stereo Microphone & Universal Jack
5.2. AC-Link Serial Interface Protocol
The AC‘97 Controller signals synchronization of all AC-Link data transactions. The AC‘97 CODEC,
Controller, or external clock source drives the serial bit clock onto AC-Link, which the AC‘97 Control-
ler then qualifies with a synchronization signal to construct audio frames. SYNC, fixed at 48 KHz, is
derived by dividing down the serial bit clock (BIT_CLK). BIT_CLK, fixed at 12.288 MHz, provides the
necessary clocking granularity to support twelve 20-bit outgoing and incoming time slots. AC-Link
serial data is transitioned on each rising edge of BIT_CLK. The receiver of AC-Link data (CODEC for
outgoing data and Controller for incoming data) samples each serial bit on the falling edges of
BIT_CLK.
The AC-Link protocol provides for a special 16-bit time slot (Slot 0) wherein each bit conveys a valid
tag for its corresponding time slot within the current audio frame. A 1 in a given bit position of slot 0
indicates that the corresponding time slot within the current audio frame has been assigned to a data
stream, and contains valid data. If a slot is tagged invalid, it is the responsibility of the source of the
data, (AC‘97 CODEC for the input stream, AC‘97 Controller for the output stream), to stuff all bit
positions with 0s during that slot’s active time.
SYNC remains high for a total duration of 16 BIT_CLKs at the beginning of each audio frame. The
portion of the audio frame where SYNC is high is defined as the “Tag Phase”. The remainder of the
audio frame where SYNC is low is defined as the “Data Phase”.
Additionally, for power savings, all clock, sync, and data signals can be halted. This requires that an
AC‘97 CODEC be implemented as a static design to allow its register contents to remain intact when
entering a power savings mode.
5.2.1. AC-Link Variable Sample Rate Operation
The AC-Link serial interconnect defines a digital data and control pipe between the Controller and
the CODEC. The AC-Link supports twelve 20-bit slots at 48 KHz on SDATA_IN and SDATA_OUT.
The time division multiplexed (TDM) “slot-based” architecture supports a per-slot valid tag infrastruc-
ture that the source of each slot’s data sets or clears to indicate the validity of the slot data within the
current audio frame. This tag infrastructure can be used to support transfers between Controller and
CODEC at any sample rate.
5.2.2. Variable Sample Rate Signaling Protocol
AC-Link’s tag infrastructure imposes FIFO requirements on both sides of the AC-Link. For example,
in passing a 44.1 KHz stream across the AC-Link, for every 480 audio output frames that are sent
across, 441 of them must contain valid sample data. Does the AC‘97 Digital Controller pass all 441
PCM samples followed by 39 invalid slots? Or does the AC‘97 Digital Controller evenly interleave

AC’97 2.3 CODECs with Stereo Microphone & Universal Jack
valid and non-valid slots? Each possible method brings with it different FIFO requirements. To
achieve interoperability between AC‘97 Digital Controllers and CODECs designed by different man-
ufacturers, it is necessary to standardize the scheme for at least one side of the AC-Link so that the
FIFO requirements will be common to all designs. The CODEC side of the AC-Link is the focus of
this standardization.
The new standard approach calls for the addition of “on demand” slot request flags. These flags are
passed from the CODEC to the AC‘97 Digital Controller during every audio input frame. Each time
the AC‘97 Digital Controller sees one or more of the newly-defined slot request flags set active (low)
in a given audio input frame, it knows that it must pass along the next PCM sample for the corre-
sponding slot(s) in the AC-Link output frame that immediately follows.
The VRA (Variable Rate Audio) bit in the Extended Audio Status and Control Register must be set to
1 to enable variable sample rate audio operation. Setting the VRA = 1 has two functions:
1. Enables PCM DAC/ADC conversions at variable sample rates by write enabling Sample Rate
Registers 2C-34h.
2. Enables the on demand CODEC-to-Controller signaling protocol using SLOTREQ bits that
becomes necessary when a DAC’s sample rate varies from the 48 KHz AC-Link serial frame
rate.
The table below summarizes the behavior:
Note: If more than one CODEC is being used with the SAME controller DMA engine, VRA should
NOT be used.
For variable sample rate output, the CODEC examines its sample rate control registers, the state of
its FIFOs, and the incoming SDATA_OUT tag bits at the beginning of each AC-Link output frame to
determine which SLOTREQ bits to set active (low). SLOTREQ bits asserted during the current
AC-Link input frame signal which active output slots require data from the AC‘97 Digital Controller in
the next audio output frame. An active output slot is defined as any slot supported by the CODEC
that is not in a power-down state. For fixed 48 KHz operation the SLOTREQ bits are always set
active (low) and a sample is transferred in each frame.
For variable sample rate input, the tag bit for each input slot indicates whether valid data is present
or not. Thus, even in variable sample rate mode, the CODEC is always the master: for SDATA_IN
(CODEC to Controller), the CODEC sets the TAG bit; for SDATA_OUT (Controller to CODEC), the
CODEC sets the SLOTREQ bit and then checks for the TAG bit in the next frame.
The VRM (Variable Rate Mic Audio) bit in the Extended Audio Status and Control Register controls
the optional MIC ADC input behavior in the same way that VRA = 1 controls the PCM ADC.
5.2.2.1. SLOTREQ Behavior and Power Management
SLOTREQ bits for fixed rate, powered down, and all unsupported Slots should be driven with 0s for
maximum compatibility with the original AC '97 Component Specification. When a DAC channel is
powered down, it disappears completely from the serial frame: output tag and slot are ignored, and
the SLOTREQ bit is absent (forced to zero).

When the Controller wants to power-down a channel, all it needs to do is:
1. Disable source of DAC samples in Controller
2. Set PR bit for DAC channel in Registers 26h, 2Ah, or 3Eh
When it wants to power up the channel, all it needs to do is:
1. Clear PR bit for DAC channel in Registers 26h, 2Ah, or 3Eh
2. Enable source of DAC samples in Controller
5.2.3. Primary and Secondary CODEC Register Addressing
The 2-bit CODEC ID field in the LSBs of Output Slot 0 is an addition to the original AC-Link protocol
that enables an AC‘97 Digital Controller to independently access Primary and Secondary CODEC
registers.
For Primary CODEC access, the AC‘97 Digital Controller:
1. Sets the AC-Link Frame valid bit (Slot 0, bit 15).
2. Validates the tag bits for Slot 1 and 2 Command Address and Data (Slot 0, bits 14 and 13).
3. Sets a zero value (00) into the CODEC ID field (Slot 0, bits 1 and 0).
4. Transmits the desired Primary CODEC Command Address and Command Data in Slots 1 and 2.
For Secondary CODEC access, the AC‘97 Digital Controller:
1. Sets the AC-Link Frame valid bit (Slot 0, bit 15).
2. Places a non-zero value (01, 10, or 11) into the CODEC ID field (Slot 0, bits 1 and 0).
3. Transmits the desired Secondary CODEC Command Address and Command Data in Slots 1
and 2.
Secondary CODECs disregard the Command Address and Command Data (Slot 0, bits 14 and 13)
tag bits. In a sense the Secondary CODEC ID field functions as an alternative Valid Command
Address (for Secondary reads and writes) and Command Data (for Secondary writes) tag indicator.
Secondary CODECs must monitor the Frame Valid bit, and ignore the frame (regardless of the state
of the Secondary CODEC ID bits) if it is not valid. AC‘97 Digital Controllers should set the frame valid
bit for a frame with a Secondary register access, even if no other bits in the output tag slot except the
Secondary CODEC ID bits are set.
5.3. AC-Link Output Frame (SDATA_OUT)
The AC-Link output frame data streams correspond to the multiplexed bundles of all digital output
data targeting AC‘97’s DAC inputs, and control registers. As mentioned earlier, each AC-Link output
frame supports up to twelve 20-bit outgoing data time slots. Slot 0 is a special reserved time slot con-
taining 16-bits which are used for AC-Link protocol infrastructure.
Figure 15 illustrates the time slot based AC-Link protocol.
Figure 15. AC-Link Audio Output Frame
A new AC-Link output frame begins with a low to high transition of SYNC. SYNC is synchronous to
the rising edge of BIT_CLK. On the immediately following falling edge of BIT_CLK, the AC‘97
CODEC samples the assertion of SYNC. This falling edge marks the time when both sides of
AC-Link are aware of the start of a new audio frame. On the next rising of BIT_CLK, the AC‘97 Con-
troller transitions SDATA_OUT into the first bit position of slot 0 (Valid Frame bit). Each new bit posi-

tion is presented to AC-Link on a rising edge of BIT_CLK, and subsequently sampled by the AC‘97
CODEC on the following falling edge of BIT_CLK. This sequence ensures that data transitions and
subsequent sample points for both incoming and outgoing data streams are time aligned.
Figure 16. Start of an Audio Output Frame
SDATA_OUT’s composite stream is MSB justified (MSB first) with all non-valid slots’ bit positions
stuffed with 0s by the AC‘97 Controller. If there are less than 20 valid bits within an assigned and
valid time slot, the AC‘97 Controller always stuffs all trailing non-valid bit positions of the 20-bit slot
with 0s.
As an example, consider an 8-bit sample stream that is being played out to one of the
STAC9752A/9753A DACs. The first 8-bit positions are presented to the DAC (MSB justified) fol-
lowed by the next 12 bit-positions which are stuffed with 0s by the AC‘97 Controller. This ensures
that regardless of the resolution of the implemented DAC (16, 18 or 20-bit), no DC biasing will be
introduced by the least significant bits.
When mono audio sample streams are output from the AC‘97 Controller it is necessary that BOTH
left and right sample stream time slots be filled with the same data.

5.3.1. Slot 0: TAG / CODEC ID
Note: The DAC can be assigned to slots 3&4, 6&9, 7&8, or 10&11.
Within slot 0 the first bit is a global bit (SDATA_OUT slot 0, bit 15) which flags the validity for the
entire audio frame. If the “Valid Frame” bit is a 1, this indicates that the current audio frame contains
at least one time slot of valid data. The next 12 bit positions sampled by AC‘97 indicate which of the
corresponding 12 time slots contain valid data. In this way data streams of differing sample rates can
be transmitted across AC-Link at its fixed 48 KHz audio frame rate.
The two LSBs of Slot 0 transmit the CODEC ID used to distinguish Primary and Secondary CODEC
register access.
5.3.2. Slot 1: Command Address Port
The command port is used to control features, and monitor status (see AC-Link input frame Slots 1
and 2) for AC‘97 CODEC functions including, but not limited to, mixer settings, and power manage-
ment (refer to the control register section of this specification).
The control interface architecture supports up to 64 16-bit read/write registers, addressable on even
byte boundaries. Only the even registers (00h, 02h, etc.) are currently defined, odd register (01h,
03h, etc.) accesses are reserved for future expansion.
Note that shadowing of the control register file on the AC‘97 Controller is an option left open to the
implementation of the AC‘97 Controller. The AC‘97 CODEC’s control register file is nonetheless
required to be readable as well as writeable to provide more robust testability.

AC’97 2.3 CODECs with Stereo Microphone & Universal Jack
AC-Link output frame slot 1 communicates control register address, and write/read command infor-
mation to the STAC9752A/9753A.
The first bit (MSB) sampled by AC‘97 indicates whether the current control transaction is a read or a
write operation. The following 7 bit positions communicate the targeted control register address. The
trailing 12 bit positions within the slot are reserved and must be stuffed with 0s by the AC‘97 Control-
ler.
5.3.3. Slot 2: Command Data Port
The command data port is used to deliver 16-bit control register write data in the event that the cur-
rent command port operation is a write cycle. (as indicated by Slot 1, bit 19)
• Bit(19:4) Control Register Write Data (Stuffed with 0s if current operation is a read)
• Bit(3:0) Reserved (Stuffed with 0s)
If the current command port operation is a read then the entire slot time must be stuffed with 0s by
the AC‘97 Controller.
5.3.4. Slot 3: PCM Playback Left Channel
AC-Link output frame slot 3 is the composite digital audio left playback stream. In a typical “Games
Compatible” PC this slot is composed of standard PCM (.wav) output samples digitally mixed (on the
AC‘97 Controller or host processor) with music synthesis output samples. If a sample stream of res-
olution less than 20-bits is transferred, the AC‘97 Controller must stuff all trailing non-valid bit posi-
tions within this time slot with 0s.
The DAC can be assigned to slots 3&4, 6&9, 7&8, or 10&11.
5.3.5. Slot 4: PCM Playback Right Channel
AC-Link output frame slot 4 is the composite digital audio right playback stream. In a typical “Games
Compatible” PC this slot is composed of standard PCM (.wav) output samples digitally mixed (on the
AC‘97 Controller or host processor) with music synthesis output samples. If a sample stream of res-
olution less than 20-bits is transferred, the AC‘97 Controller must stuff all trailing non-valid bit posi-
tions within this time slot with 0s.
The DAC can be assigned to slots 3&4, 6&9, 7&8, or 10&11.

5.4. AC-Link Input Frame (SDATA_IN)
The AC-Link input frame data streams correspond to the multiplexed bundles of all digital input data
targeting the AC‘97 Controller. As is the case for an audio output frame, each AC-Link input frame
consists of twelve 20-bit time slots. Slot 0 is a special reserved time slot containing 16-bits which are
used for AC-Link protocol infrastructure.
The following diagram illustrates the time slot-based AC-Link protocol.
Figure 17. STAC9752A/9753A Audio Input Frame
A new AC-Link input frame begins with a low to high transition of SYNC. SYNC is synchronous to
the rising edge of BIT_CLK. On the immediately following falling edge of BIT_CLK, the AC‘97
CODEC samples the assertion of SYNC. This falling edge marks the time when both sides of
AC-Link are aware of the start of a new audio frame. On the next rising of BIT_CLK, the AC‘97
CODEC transitions SDATA_IN into the first bit position of slot 0 (“CODEC Ready” bit). Each new bit
position is presented to AC-Link on a rising edge of BIT_CLK, and subsequently sampled by the
AC‘97 Controller on the following falling edge of BIT_CLK. This sequence ensures that data transi-
tions and subsequent sample points for both incoming and outgoing data streams are time aligned.

AC’97 2.3 CODECs with Stereo Microphone & Universal Jack
SDATA_IN’s composite stream is MSB justified (MSB first) with all non-valid bit positions (for
assigned and/or unassigned time slots) stuffed with 0s by the AC‘97 CODEC. SDATA_IN data is
sampled on the falling edges of BIT_CLK.
5.4.1. Slot 0: TAG
Within slot 0, the first bit is a global bit (SDATA_IN slot 0, bit 15) which flags whether the AC‘97
CODEC is in the “CODEC Ready” state or not. If the “CODEC Ready” bit is a 0, this indicates that
the AC‘97 CODEC is not ready for normal operation. This condition is normal following the deasser-
tion of power on reset for example, while the AC‘97 CODEC’s voltage references settle. When the
AC-Link “CODEC Ready” indicator bit is a 1 it indicates that the AC-Link and AC‘97 CODEC control
and status registers are in a fully operational state. CODEC must assert “CODEC Ready” within
400 ms after it starts receiving valid SYNC pulses from the controller, to provide indication of connec-
tion to the link and Control/Status registers are available for access. The AC’97 Controller and
related software must wait until all of the lower four bits of the Control/Status Register, 26h, are set
before attempting any register writes, or attempting to enable any audio stream, to avoid undesirable
audio artifacts.
Prior to any attempts at putting an AC‘97 CODEC into operation, the AC‘97 Controller should poll the
first bit in the AC-Link input frame (SDATA_IN slot 0, bit 15) for an indication that CODEC has gone
“CODEC Ready”. Once an AC‘97 CODEC is sampled “CODEC Ready”1 then the next 12 bit posi-
tions sampled by the AC‘97 Controller indicate which of the corresponding 12 time slots are
assigned to input data streams, and that they contain valid data.
5.4.2. Slot 1: Status Address Port / SLOTREQ Signaling Bits
5.4.2.1. Status Address Port
The status port is used to monitor status for the STAC9752A/9753A functions including, but not lim-
ited to, mixer settings and power management. AC-Link input frame slot 1’s stream echoes the con-
trol register index, for historical reference, for the data to be returned in slot 2. (Assuming that slots 1
and 2 had been tagged “valid” by the AC‘97 CODEC during slot 0.
The first bit (MSB) generated by AC‘97 is always stuffed with a 0. The following 7 bit positions com-
municate the associated control register address, the next 10 bits support AC‘97’s variable sample
rate signaling protocol, and the trailing 2 bit positions are stuffed with 0s by AC‘97.
5.4.2.2. SLOTREQ signaling bits
AC-Link input frame Slot #1, the Status Address Port, now delivers CODEC control register read
address and variable sample rate slot request flags for all output slots. Ten of the formerly reserved
least significant bits have been defined as data request flags for output slots 3-12.
1. There are several subsections within an AC‘97 CODEC that can independently go busy/ready. It is the responsibility of the
AC’97 Controller to probe more deeply into the AC‘97 CODEC’s register file to determine which subsections are actually ready.

AC’97 2.3 CODECs with Stereo Microphone & Universal Jack
The AC-Link input frame Slot 1 tag bit is independent of the bit 11-2 slot request field, and ONLY indi-
cates valid Status Address Port data (Control Register Index). The CODEC should only set
SDATA_IN tag bits for Slot 1 (Address) and Slot 2 (Data) to 1 when returning valid data from a previ-
ous register read. They should otherwise be set to 0. SLOTREQ bits have validity independent of the
Slot 1 tag bit.
SLOTREQ bits are always 0 in the following cases
• Fixed rate mode (VRA = 0)
• Inactive (powered down) ADC channel
SLOTREQ bits are only set to 1 by the CODEC in the following case
• Variable rate audio mode (VRA = 1) AND active (power ready) ADC AND a non-48 KHz ADC
sample rate and CODEC does not need a sample
5.4.3. Slot 2: Status Data Port
The status data port delivers 16-bit control register read data.
If Slot 2 is tagged invalid by AC‘97, then the entire slot will be stuffed with 0s by AC‘97.
5.4.4. Slot 3: PCM Record Left Channel
Audio input frame slot 3 is the left channel output of STAC9752A/9753A input MUX, post-ADC.
STAC9752A/9753A ADCs are implemented to support 20-bit resolution.
NOTE: The ADC can be assigned to slots 3&4, 6&9, 7&8, or 10&11.

5.5. AC-Link Interoperability Requirements and Recommendations
5.5.1. “Atomic slot” Treatment of Slot 1 Address and Slot 2 Data
Command or Status Address and Data cannot be split across multiple AC-Link frames. The following
transactions require that valid Slot 1 Address and valid Slot 2 Data be treated as “atomic” (insepara-
ble) with Slot 0 Tag bits for Address and Data set accordingly (that is, both valid):
1. AC‘97 Digital Controller write commands to Primary CODECs
2. AC‘97 CODEC status responses
Whenever the AC‘97 Digital Controller addresses a Primary CODEC or an AC‘97 CODEC responds
to a read command, Slot 0 Tag bits should always be set to indicate actual Slot 1 and Slot 2 data
validity.
When the AC‘97 Digital Controller addresses a Secondary CODEC, the Slot 0 Tag bits for Address
and Data must be 0. A non-zero, 2-bit CODEC ID in the LSBs of Slot 0 indicates a valid Read or
Write Address in Slot 1, and the Slot 1 R/W bit indicates presence or absence of valid Data in Slot 2.

6.1.2. Mixer Analog Input
The mixer provides recording and playback of any audio sources or output mix of all sources. The
STAC9752A/9753A supports the following input sources:
• Any mono or stereo source
• Mono or stereo mix of all sources
• Two-channel input w/mono output reference (mic or stereo mix)
Note: All unused inputs should be tied together and connected to ground through a capacitor (0.1
mF suggested).
Note: The MIC inputs should be tied to ground through a separate capacitor (0.1 mF suggested).
6.1.3. Mixer Analog Output
The mixer generates three distinct outputs:
• A stereo mix of all sources for output to the LINE_OUT
• A stereo mix of all sources for output to HP_OUT
• A mono, mic only or mix of all sources for MONO_OUT
6.2. SPDIF Digital Mux
The STAC9752A/9753A incorporates a digital output that supports SPDIF formats. A multiplexer
determines which of two digital input streams are used for the digital output conversion process.
These two streams include the PCM OUT data from the audio controller and the ADC recorded out-
put. The normal analog LINE_OUT signal can be converted to the SPDIF formats by using the inter-
nal ADC to record the “MIX” output, which is the combination of all analog and all digital sources. In
the case of digital controllers with support for four or more channels, the SPDIF output mode can be

AC’97 2.3 CODECs with Stereo Microphone & Universal Jack
used to support compressed 6-channel output streams for delivery to home theater systems. These
can be routed on alternate AC-Link slots to the SPDIF output, while the standard 2-channel output is
delivered as selected by bits D5 and D4 in Register 6E. If the digital controller supports six channels,
a SPDIF output with four analog channels can also be configured.
If the Digital Controller has independent DMA engines, SPDIF and Analog can be used simultane-
ously and independently.
6.3. PC Beep Implementation
The STAC9752A/9753A offers two styles of PC BEEP, Analog and Digital. The digital PC BEEP is a
new feature added to the AC’97 Specification Rev 2.3. This style of PC BEEP will eventually replace
the Analog style, thus eliminating the need for a PC BEEP pin. Until this feature is widely accepted,
TSI will provide BOTH styles of PC BEEP. Both PC BEEP styles use Reg 0Ah. Additional information
about Reg0Ah can be found in Section 7.1.5: page 51.
6.3.1. Analog PC Beep
PC Beep is active on power up and defaults to an un-muted state. The PC_BEEP input is routed
directly to the MONO_OUT, LINE_OUT and HP_OUT pins of the CODEC. Because the PC_BEEP
input drive is often a full scale digital signal, some resistive attenuation of the PC_BEEP input is rec-
ommended to keep the beep tone within reasonable volume levels. The user should mute this input
before using any other mixer input because the PC Beep input can contribute noise to the lineout
during normal operation. This style of PC BEEP is related to the AC’97 Specification Rev 2.2. To use
the analog PC BEEP, write a value of 00h to bits F[7:0](D[12:5]) to disable the Digital PC Beep gen-
eration. PV[3:0] (D[4:1]) controls the volume level from 0 to 45dB of attenuation in 3dB steps.
6.3.2. Digital PC Beep
The Digital PC Beep uses the identical register as the Analog style, Reg 0Ah. This register controls
the level and frequency for the PC BEEP. The beep frequency is the result of dividing the 48 KHz
clock by 2 times the number specified in F[7:0] +2, allowing tones from 94 Hz to 12 KHz. A value of
00h written to bits F[7:0] disables the digital PC Beep generation and enables the analog style PC
BEEP. The volume control bits, PV[3:0] operate identically to the analog PC BEEP mode. Applying a
signal to the PC BEEP pin, pin 12, may cause the digital PC BEEP signal to become distorted or
inaudible. When using the digital PC BEEP feature, it is recommended to leave the PC BEEP input
pin unconnected or connected to analog ground through a capacitor. Connecting a capacitor from
the PC BEEP input pin to ground will create a more pleasing sound by changing the digital output to
a more sinusoidal signal.
This will be programmed directly by the BIOS.

7.1.16. 3D Control (22h)
Default: 0000h
This register is used to control the 3D stereo enhancement function, TSI Surround 3D (SS3D), built
into the AC'97 component. Note that register bits DP3-DP2 are used to control the separation ratios
in the 3D control for LINE_OUT. SS3D provides for a wider soundstage, extending beyond the nor-
mal 2-speaker arrangement. Note that the 3D bit in the general purpose register (20h) must be set to
1 to enable SS3D functionality, which allow the bits in register 22h to take effect.
The three separation ratios are implemented. The separation ratio defines a series of equations that
determine the amount of depth difference (High, Medium and Low) perceived during two-channel
playback. The ratios provide for options to narrow or widen the soundstage.

7.1.18.1. Ready Status
The lower half of this register is read only status, a 1 indicating that each subsection is ready. Ready
is defined as the subsection's ability to perform in its nominal state. When this register is written, the
bit values that come in on AC-Link will have no effect on read-only bits 0-7.
When the AC-Link “CODEC Ready” indicator bit (SDATA_IN slot 0, bit 15) is a 1, it indicates that the
AC-Link and AC'97 control and status registers are in a fully operational state. The AC'97 controller
must further probe this Powerdown Control/Status Register to determine exactly which subsections,
if any, are ready. When this register is written, the bit values that come in on AC-Link will have no
effect on read-only bits 0-7.
7.1.18.2. Powerdown Controls
The STAC9752A/9753A is capable of operating at reduced power when no activity is required. The
power-down state is controlled by the Powerdown Register (26h). See the section “Low Power
Modes” for more information.
7.1.18.3. External Amplifier Power Down Control Output
The EAPD bit (bit 15 of the Powerdown Control/Status Register (Index 26h)), directly controls the
EAPD output, pin 45, and produces a logical 1 when this bit is set to logic high. This function is used
to control an external audio amplifier power-down. EAPD = 0 places approximately 0V on the output
pin, enabling an external audio amplifier. EAPD = 1 places approximately DVdd on the output pin,
disabling the external audio amplifier. Audio amplifiers that operate with reverse polarity will likely
require an external inverter to maintain software driver compatibility.
EAPD can also act as a GPIO. See Section 7.4.11: page 78. The GPIO controls in Section 7.2:
page 65 have no effect on EAPD.

7.1.19. Extended Audio ID (28h)
Default: 0A05h
The Extended Audio ID register is a read-only register except for bits D4 and D5. ID1 and ID0 echo
the configuration of the CODEC as defined by the programming of pins 45 and 46 externally. “00”
returned defines the CODEC as the primary CODEC, while any other code identifies the CODEC as
one of three secondary CODECs. The AMAP bit, D9, will return a 1 indicating that the CODEC sup-
ports the optional “AC’97 2.3 Compliant AC-Link Slot to Audio DAC Mappings”. The default condition
assumes that 00 is loaded in the DSA0 and DSA1 bits of the Extended Audio ID (Index 28h). With 00
in the DSA1 and DSA0 bits, the CODEC slot assignments are as per the AC’97 specification recom-
mendations. If the DSA1 and DSA0 bits do not contain 00, the slot assignments are as per the table
in the section describing the Extended Audio ID (Index 28h). The VRA bit, D0, will return a 1 indicat-
ing that the CODEC supports the optional variable sample rate conversion as defined by the AC’97
specification.
Note: 1) External CID pin status (from analog), these bits are the logical inversion of the pin
polarity (pin 45-46). These bits are zero if XTAL_OUT is grounded with an alternate external clock
source (in primary mode only). Secondary mode can either be through BIT CLK driven or 24 MHz
clock driver, with XTAL_OUT floating.
Note: 2) If pin 48 is held high at powerup, this bit will be held to zero, to indicate the SPDIF is not
available.
TO DISABLE SPDIF, USE AN 1 KW - 10 KW EXTERNAL PULLUP RESISTOR.

Determines the SPDIF transmitter behavior when data is not being
transmitted. When asserted, this bit forces the deassertion of the SPDIF
“Validity” flag, which is bit 28 transmitted by the SPDIF sub-frame. The “V” bit
is defined in the SPDIF Control Register (Reg 3Ah).
If “V” = 1 and “VCFG” = 0, then for each S/PDIF sub-frame (Left & Right),
bit<28> “Validity” flag reflects whether or not an internal CODEC transmission
error has occurred. Specifically an internal CODEC error should result in the
“Validity” flag being set to 1.
If “V” = 0 and “VCFG” = 1, In the case where the S/PDIF transmitter does not
receive a valid sample from the AC'97 controller, (Left or Right), the S/PDIF
transmitter should set the “Validity” flag to 0 and pad the “Audio Sample Word”
with 0s for sub-frame in question. If a valid sample (Left or Right) was
received and successfully transmitted, the “Validity” flag should be 0 for that
sub-frame.
Default state, coming out of reset, for “V” and “VCFG” should be 0 and 0.

7.1.20.1. Variable Rate Sampling Enable
The Extended Audio Status Control register also contains one active bit to enable or disable the Vari-
able Sampling Rate capabilities of the DACs and ADCs. If the VRA bit D0 is 1, the variable sample
rate control registers (2Ch and 32h) are active, and “on-demand” slot data required transfers are
allowed. If the VRA bit is 0, the DACs and ADCs will operate at the default 48 KHz data rate.
The STAC9752A/9753A supports “on-demand” slot request flags. These flags are passed from the
CODEC to the AC’97 controller in every audio input frame. Each time a slot request flag is set (active
low) in a given audio frame, the controller will pass the next PCM sample for the corresponding slot
in the audio frame that immediately follows. The VRA enable bit must be set to 1 to enable
“on-demand” data transfers. If the VRA enable bit is not set, the CODEC will default to 48 KHz trans-
fers and every audio frame will include an active slot request flag and data is transferred every
frame.
For variable sample rate output, the CODEC examines its sample rate control registers, the state of
the FIFOs, and the incoming SDATA_OUT tag bits at the beginning of each audio output frame to
determine which SLOTREQ bits to set active (low). SLOTREQ bits are asserted during the current
audio input frame for active output slots, which will require data in the next audio output frame.
For variable sample rate input, the tag bit for each input slot indicates whether valid data is present
or not. Thus, even in variable sample rate mode, the CODEC is always the master: for SDATA_IN
(CODEC to controller), the CODEC sets the TAG bit; for SDATA_OUT (controller to CODEC), the
CODEC sets the SLOTREQ bit and then checks for the TAG bit in the next frame. Whenever VRA is
set to 0, the PCM rate registers (2Ch and 32h) are overwritten with BB80h (48 KHz).
7.1.20.2. SPDIF
The SPDIF bit in the Extended Audio Status Control Register is used to enable and disable the
SPDIF functionality within the STAC9752A/9753A. If the SPDIF is set to a 1, then the function is
enabled. When set to a 0, it is disabled.
7.1.20.3. SPCV (SPDIF Configuration Valid)
The SPCV bit is read only and indicates whether or not the SPDIF system is set up correctly. When
SPCV is a 0, it indicates the system configuration is invalid. When SPCV is a 1, it indicates the sys-
tem configuration is valid.
7.1.20.4. SPSA1, SPSA0 (SPDIF Slot Assignment)
SPSA1 and SPSA0 combine to provide the slot assignments for the SPDIF data. The following
details the slot assignment relationship between SPSA1 and SPSA0.

7.1.21. PCM DAC Rate Registers (2Ch and 32h)
The internal sample rate for the DACs and ADCs are controlled by the value in these read/write reg-
isters that contain a 16-bit unsigned value between 0 and 65535 representing the conversion rate in
Hertz (Hz). In VRA mode (register 2Ah, bit D0 = 1), if the value written to these registers is sup-
ported, that value will be echoed back when read, otherwise the closest (higher in the case of a tie)
sample rate is supported and returned. Per PC 99 / PC 2001 specification, independent sample
rates are supported for record and playback.
Whenever VRA is set to 0 the PCM rate registers (2Ch and 32h) will be loaded with BB80h (48 KHz).
If VRA is set to a 0, any write to this address will be ignored and the rate remains at 48KHz.

AC’97 2.3 CODECs with Stereo Microphone & Universal Jack
7.2.2. GPIO Pin Definitions
GPIO pins are programmable to have input/output functionality. The data values (status) for these
pins are all in one register with input/output configuration in a separate register. Control of GPIO pins
configured for output is achieved by setting the corresponding bit in output slot 12; status of GPIO
pins configured for input is returned on input slot 12. The CODEC must constantly set the GPIO pins
that are configured for output, based upon the value of the corresponding bit position of the control
slot 12. The CODEC should ignore output slot 12 bits that correspond to GPIO control pins config-
ured as inputs. The CODEC must constantly update status on input slot 12, based upon the logic
level detected at each GPIO pin configured for input. A GPIO output pin value that is written via slot
12 in the current frame won’t affect the GPIO status that is returned in that particular write frame.
This slot-12 based control/status protocol minimizes the latency and complexity, especially for
host-based Controllers and host data pump software, and provides high speed monitoring and con-
trol, above what could be achieved with command/status slots. For host-based implementations,
most AC‘97 registers can be shadowed by the driver in order to provide immediate response when
read by the processor, and GPIO pins configured as inputs should be capable of triggering an inter-
rupt upon a change of status.
The AC-Link request for GPIO pin status is always delayed by at least one frame time. Read-Mod-
ify-Writes across the AC-Link will thus incur latency issues and must be accounted for by the soft-
ware driver or AC‘97 Digital Controller firmware. PCI re-tries should be kept to a minimum wherever
possible.
7.2.3. GPIO Pin Implementation
The GPIOs are set to a high impedance state on power-on or a cold reset. It is up to the AC‘97 Digi-
tal Controller to first enable the output after setting it to the desired state.

Buffer delays: CODEC will provide number a delay measurement for the input
and output channels. Software will use this value to accurately calculate audio
stream position with respect to what is been reproduced or recorded. These
values are in 20.83 sec (1/48000 second) units.
For output channels, this timing is from the end of AC Link frame in which the
sample is provided, until the time the analog signal appears at the output pin. For
input streams, this is from when the analog signal is presented at the pin until the
representative sample is provided on the AC Link.
Analog in and out paths are not considered as part of this delay.
The measurement is a 'typical' measurement, at a 48 KHz sample rate, with
minimal in-CODEC processing (i.e., 3D effects are turned off.)

0 = Anti Pop Enabled

The STAC9752A/9753A includes an internal power supply anti-pop circuit that
prevents audible clicks and pops from being heard when the CODEC is powered
on and off. This function is accomplished by delaying the charge/discharge of the
VREF capacitor (Pin 27). CVREF value of 1 F will cause a turn-on delay of
roughly 3 seconds, which will allow the power supplies to stabilize before the
CODEC outputs are enabled. The delay will be extended to 30 seconds if a value
of CVREF value of 10 F is used. The CODEC outputs are also kept stable for the
same amount of time at power-off to allow the system to be gracefully turned off.
The INT_APOP bit allows this delay circuit to be bypassed for rapid production
testing. Any external component anti-pop circuit is unaffected by the internal
circuit.

8. LOW POWER MODES
The STAC9752A/9753A is capable of operating at reduced power when no activity is required. The
state of power down is controlled by the Powerdown Register (26h). There are seven separate com-
mands of power down. The power down options are listed in Table 28. The first three bits, PR0..PR2,
can be used individually or in combination with each other, and control power distribution to the
ADCs, DACs and Mixer. The last analog power control bit, PR3, affects analog bias and reference
voltages, and can only be used in combination with PR1, PR2, and PR3. PR3 essentially removes
power from all analog sections of the CODEC, and is generally only asserted when the CODEC will
not be needed for long periods. PR0 and PR1 control the PCM ADCs and DACs only. PR2 and PR3
do not need to be "set" before a PR4, but PR0 and PR1 should be "set" before PR4. PR5 disables
the DSP clock and does not require an external cold reset for recovery. PR6 disables the headphone
driver amplifier for additional analog power saving.
Figure 22. Example of STAC9752A/9753A Powerdown/Powerup Flow
The Figure 22 illustrates one example procedure to do a complete powerdown of
STAC9752A/9753A. From normal operation, sequential writes to the Powerdown Register are per-
formed to power down STAC9752A/9753A a section at a time. After everything has been shut off, a
final write (of PR4) can be executed to shut down the AC-Link. The part will remain in sleep mode
with all its registers holding their static values. To wake up, the AC'97 Controller will send an
extended pulse on the sync line, issuing a warm reset. This will restart the AC-Link (resetting PR4 to
zero). The STAC9752A/9753A can also be woken up with a cold reset. A cold reset will reset all of
the registers to their default states (Paged Registers are semi-exempt). When a section is powered
back on, the Powerdown Control/Status register (index 26h) should be read to verify that the section
is ready (stable) before attempting any operation that requires it.

contained in their associated registers. This configuration can be used when playing a CD (or exter-
nal LINE_IN source) through the STAC9752A/9753A to the speakers, while most of the system in
low power mode. The procedure for this follows the previous example, except that the analog mixer
is never shut down.

9. MULTIPLE CODEC SUPPORT
The STAC9752A/9753A provides support for the multi-CODEC option according to the Intel AC'97,
rev 2.3 specification. By definition there can be only one Primary CODEC (CODEC ID 00) and up to
three Secondary CODECs (CODEC IDs 01,10, and 11). The CODEC ID functions as a chip select.
Secondary devices therefore have completely orthogonal register sets; each is individually accessi-
ble and they do not share registers.
9.1. Primary/Secondary CODEC Selection
In a multi-CODEC environment the CODEC ID is provided by external programming of pins 45 and
46 (CID0 and CID1). The CID pin electrical function is logically inverted from the CODEC ID desig-
nation. The corresponding pin state and its associated CODEC ID are listed in the "CODEC ID
Selection" table. Also see slot assignment discussion, “Multi-Channel Programming Register (Index
74)”.
9.1.1. Primary CODEC Operation
As a Primary device the STAC9752A/9753A is completely compatible with existing AC'97 definitions
and extensions. Primary CODEC registers are accessed exactly as defined in the AC'97 Component
Specification and AC'97 Extensions. The STAC9752A/9753A operates as Primary by default, and
the external ID pins (45 and 46), have internal pull-ups so that these pins may be left as no-connects
for primary operation.
When used as the Primary CODEC, the STAC9752A/9753A generates the master AC-Link BIT_CLK
for both the AC'97 Digital Controller and any Secondary CODECs. The STAC9752A/9753Acan sup-
port up to four, 10 KW / 50 pF loads on the BIT_CLK output. This is to ensure that up to four CODEC
implementations will not load down the clock output.
9.1.2. Secondary CODEC Operation
When the STAC9752A/9753A is configured as a Secondary device the BIT_CLK pin is configured as
an input at power up. Using the BIT_CLK provided by the Primary CODEC insures that everything
on the AC-Link will be synchronous. As a Secondary device, it can be defined as CODEC ID 01, 10,
or 11 in the two-bit field(s) of the Extended Audio and/or Extended Modem ID Register(s).
9.2. Secondary CODEC Register Access Definitions
The AC'97 Digital Controller can independently access Primary and Secondary CODEC registers by
using a 2-bit CODEC ID field (chip select) which is defined as the LSBs of Output Slot 0. For Sec-
ondary CODEC access, the AC'97 Digital Controller must invalidate the tag bits for Slot 1 and 2
Command Address and Data (Slot 0, bits 14 and 13) and place a non-zero value (01, 10, or 11) into
the CODEC ID field (Slot 0, bits 1 and 0).

STAC9752A/9753A
AC’97 2.3 CODECs with Stereo Microphone & Universal Jack
As a Secondary CODEC, the STAC9752A/9753A will disregard the Command Address and Com-
mand Data (Slot 0, bits 14 and 13) tag bits unless it sees a 2-bit CODEC ID value (Slot 0, bits 1 and
0) that matches its configuration. In a sense the Secondary CODEC ID field functions as an alterna-
tive Valid Command Address (for Secondary reads and writes) and Command Data (for Secondary
writes) tag indicator.
Secondary CODECs must monitor the Frame Valid bit, and ignore the frame (regardless of the state
of the Secondary CODEC ID bits) if it is not valid. AC'97 Digital Controllers should set the frame valid
bit for a frame with a secondary register access, even if no other bits in the output tag slot except the
Secondary CODEC ID bits are set.
This method is designed to be backward compatible with existing AC'97 controllers and CODECs.
There is no change to output Slot 1 or 2 definitions.
Using three CODECs typically requires a controller to support SDATA_IN2.

10.TESTABILITY
The STAC9752A/9753A has two test modes. One is for ATE in-circuit test and the other is restricted
for TSI’s internal use. STAC9752A/9753A enters the ATE in-circuit test mode if SDATA_OUT is sam-
pled high at the trailing edge of RESET#. Once in the ATE test mode, the digital AC-Link outputs
(BIT_CLK and SDATA_IN) are driven to a high impedance state. This allows ATE in-circuit testing of
the AC'97 controller. Use of the ATE test mode is the recommended means of removing the CODEC
from the AC-Link when another CODEC is to be used as the primary. This case will never occur dur-
ing standard operating conditions. Once either of the two test modes have been entered, the
STAC9752A/9753A must be issued another RESET# with all AC-Link signals held low to return to
the normal operating mode.
10.1. ATE Test Mode
ATE test mode allows for in-circuit testing to be completed at board level. For this to work, the out-
puts of the device must be driven to a high impedance state (Z). Internal pullups for digital I/O pins
must be disabled in this mode. This mode initiates on the rising edge of RESET# pin. Only a cold
reset will exit the ATE Test Mode.

3. The CD_GND signal is an AC signal return for the two CD input channels. It is normally biased
at about 2.5V. The name of the pin in the AC’97 specification is CD_GND, and this has confused
many designers. It should not have any DC path to GND. Connecting the CD_GND signal
directly to ground will change the internal bias of the entire CODEC, and cause significant distor-
tion. If there is no analog CD input, then this pin can be No-Connect.
