24-1
24 AC97 CONTROLLER
OVERVIEW
The AC97 Controller Unit of the S3C2440A supports AC97 revision 2.0 features. AC97 Controller communicates with
AC97 Codec using an audio controller link (AC-link). Controller sends the stereo PCM data to Codec. The external
digital-to-analog converter (DAC) in the Codec then converts the audio sample to an analog audio waveform. Also, the
Controller receives the stereo PCM data and the mono Mic data from the Codec and then stores them in the
memories. This chapter describes the programming model for the AC97 Controller Unit. The information in this
chapter requires an understanding of the AC97 revision 2.0 specifications.
NOTE
The AC97 Controller and the I
2
S Controller must not be used at the same time.
