2.1 Clocking

STAC9708/11 derives its clock internally from an externally connected 24.576 MHz crystal or an

oscillator through the XTAL_IN pin. Synchronization with the AC'97 controller is achieved through the

BIT_CLK pin at 12.288 MHz (half of crystal frequency).

The beginning of all audio sample packets, or “Audio Frames”, transferred over AC-Link is

synchronized to the rising edge of the “SYNC” signal driven by the AC'97 controller.

Data is

transitioned on AC-Link on every rising edge of BIT_CLK, and subsequently sampled by the receiving

side on each immediately following falling edge of BIT_CLK.

2.2 Reset

There are 3 types of resets as detailed under “Timing Characteristics”.

1. a “cold” reset where all STAC9708/11 logic and registers are initialized to their default state

2. a “warm” reset where the contents of the STAC9708/11 register set are left unaltered

3. a “register” reset which only initializes the STAC9708/11 registers to their default states

After signaling a reset to the STAC9708/11, the AC'97 controller should not attempt to play or capture

audio data until it has sampled a “Codec Ready” indication via register 26h from the STAC9708/11.

For proper reset operation SDATA_OUT should be “0” during “cold” reset.
