Revision 7.1
6.2.12.2 AC97 Codec Interface
The AC97 codec (e.g., LM4548) is the master of the serial
interface and generates the clocks to Core Logic module.
codecs and the SC1200/SC1201 processor:
Codec1 can be AC97 Rev. 1.3 or higher compliant.
Codec2 is optional, but must be compliant with AC97 2.0
or higher. (For specifics on the serial interface, refer to
the appropriate codec manufacturer’s data sheet.)
— If SDATA_IN2 is not used it must be connected to
VSS.
— If an AMC97 codec is used (as Codec2), it should be
connected to SDATA_IN2 and SDATA_IN should be
connected to VSS.
For PC speaker synthesis, the Core Logic module
outputs the PC speaker signal on the PC_BEEP pin
which is connected to the PC_BEEP input of the AC97
codec. Note that PC_BEEP is muxed with GPIO16 and
Codec Configuration/Control Registers
The codec 32-bit related registers:
GPIO Status and Control Registers
— Codec GPIO Status Register (F3BAR0+Memory
Offset 00h)
— Codec GPIO Control Register (F3BAR0+Memory
Offset 04h)
Codec Status Register (F3BAR0+Memory Offset 08h)
Codec Command Register (F3BAR0+Memory Offset
0Ch)
Codec GPIO Status and Control Registers:
The Codec GPIO Status and Control registers are used for
codec GPIO related tasks such as enabling a codec GPIO
interrupt to cause an SMI.
Codec Status Register:
The Codec Status register stores the codec status WORD.
It is updated every valid Status Word slot.
Codec Command Register:
The Codec Command register writes the control WORD to
the codec. By writing the appropriate control WORDs to
this port, the features of the codec can be controlled. The
contents of this register are written to the codec during the
Control Word slot.
The bit formats for these registers are given in
