AC’97 and HD Audio

13.1

Signals Definition

The COM Express specification allocates seven pins on the A-B connector to support digital AC’97 and

HD interfaces to audio codecs on the carrier board. The pins are available on all module types. High-
definition (HD) audio uses the same digital-signal interface as AC ’97 audio. Codecs for AC ’97 and HD

audio are different.
