5.8.3 AC97 LINK BUS
The audio controller and the audio codec communicate over a five-signal AC97 Link Bus (Figure
5-12). The AC97 Link Bus includes two serial data lines (SD OUT/SD IN) that transfer control
and PCM audio data serially to and from the audio codec using a time-division multiplexed (TDM)
protocol. The data lines are qualified by a 12.288 MHz BIT_CLK signal driven by the audio
codec. Data is transferred in frames synchronized by the 48-KHz SYNC signal, which is derived
from the clock signal and driven by the audio controller. The SYNC signal is high during the
frame’s tag phase then falls during T17and remains low during the data phase. A frame consists of
one 16-bit tag slot followed by twelve 20-bit data slots. When asserted (typically during a power
cycle), the RESET- signal (not shown) will reset all audio registers to their default values.
