When the AC Link

″Codec Ready″ indicator bit (SDATA_IN

slot 0, bit 15) is a

″1″, it indicates that the AC Link and AC ’97

registers are in a fully operational state. The AC ’97 Control-

ler must further probe the Powerdown Control / Status Reg-

ister to determine exactly which subsections are ready.

Extended Audio ID Register (28h)

This read only register identifies which AC97 Extended Au-

dio features are supported. The LM4546 provides for VRA

(Variable Rate Audio) and Multiple Codec support. VRA is in-

dicated by a

″1″ in the LSB of register 28h. The two MSB’s,

ID1 and ID0, show the current codec configuration as con-

nected via external pins 45 and 46.

Extended Audio Status/Control Register (2Ah)

This read/write register provides status and control of the

Variable Sample Rate function. Setting the LSB of this regis-

ter to

″1″ enables Variable Rate Audio (VRA) mode and al-

lows DAC and ADC sample rates to be programmed via reg-

isters 2Ch and 32h.

Sample Rate Control Registers (2Ch, 32h)

These read/write registers are used to set the sample rate

for the left and right channels of the DAC (2Ch) and the ADC

(32h). When Variable Rate Audio is enabled via bit-0 of Reg-

ister 2Ah, the sample rates can be programmed, in 1Hz in-

crements, to be any value from 4kHz to 48kHz. Below is a list

of the most common sample rates and their corresponding

register values.
