AC97 AUDIO CODEC CONTROLLER

The primary purpose of the AC97 Audio Codec Controller

(ACC) is to stream data between system memory and an

AC97 codec (or codecs) using direct memory access

(DMA). The AC97 codec supports several channels of digi-

tal audio input and output. Hence, the ACC contains sev-

eral bus mastering DMA engines to support these

channels. This method off-loads the CPU, improving sys-

tem performance. The ACC is connected to the system

through the GLIU and all accesses to and from system

memory go through the GLIU. The AC97 codec is con-

nected with a serial interface, and all communication with

the codec occurs via that interface (see Figure 4-3).

Features include:

• AC97 version 2.1 compliant interface to codecs: serial in

(x2), serial out, sync out, and bit clock in.

• Eight-channel buffered GLIU mastering interface.

• Support for industry standard 16-bit pulse code modu-

lated (PCM) audio format.

• Support for any AC97 codec with Sample Rate Conver-

sion (SRC).

• Transport for audio data to and from the system memory

and AC97 codec.

• Capable of outputting multi-channel 5.1 surround sound

(Left, Center, Right, Left Rear, Right Rear, and

Low Frequency Effects).

Hardware Includes:

• GeodeLink Adapter.

• Three 32-bit stereo-buffered bus masters (two for output,

one for input).

• Five 16-bit mono-buffered bus masters (three for output,

two for input).

• AC Link Control block for interfacing with external AC97

codec(s).

The ACC logic controls the traffic to and from the AC97

codec. For input channels, serial data from the codec is

buffered and written to system memory using DMA. For

output channels, software-processed data is read from sys-

tem memory and streamed out serially to the codec.
