Functional Description
The HMP9701A is a full-duplex stereo audio codec compliant
to the AC’97 Codec specification. This component is designed
for use in multimedia and business personal computers. The
codec includes full duplex stereo converters, a mic pass
through ADC, complete on-chip anti-alias filtering, and a 5
channel analog mixer with programmable gain and attenuation.
Analog Inputs
The HMP9701A has 4 stereo inputs (LINE_IN, CD, VIDEO,
and AUX), two microphone level inputs (MIC1 and MIC2), and
one mono line level input (PHONE). A multiplexer is provided
to independently select the right and left record sources from
the analog inputs listed above. In addition, the output stereo
mix (LINE_OUT) or its mono equivalent may also be selected
as a record source. A gain block is available to amplify the
MIC inputs by 20dB to compensate for the difference between
line levels and typical condenser microphone levels.
Besides being fed to the Record Select Mux, all analog
inputs can be mixed (see Analog Mixer) with the stereo out-
put from the Playback DACs. Note: all analog inputs except
PHONE and PC_BEEP can be output on MONO_OUT.
There is a dedicated analog input, PC_BEEP, for the
standard “Beep” signal provided on most PC/Compatible
computers for power on self test and boot audio status
indication. This input is mixed into each channel of the
stereo line outputs.
Record ADCs
The HMP9701A provides 3
Σ∆
ADCs to record one dedi-
cated microphone input and 2 user selectable analog inputs.
The user selectable analog inputs are routed to the stereo
ADCs via an programmable Input Multiplexer. The multi-
plexer is programmed to select the 2 record channels via the
Record Select register (1Ah).
Each of the record channels pass through a programmable
gain block before each ADC. The record gain for each chan-
nel is set individually and ranges from 0dB to 22.5dB in
1.5dB increments (see Record Gain Registers 1Ch and
1Eh). The gain block can also be used to mute each chan-
nel. Note: an additional gain block provides 20dB of gain on
the MIC channel if activated (see MIC Volume register 0Eh).
The HMP9701A uses oversampling
Σ∆
ADCs which only
require a single pole passive filter for anti-alias filtering. The
filter for the left, right and MIC channels is realized by placing
a 1nF capacitor between the AFILT1, AFILT2, and AFILT3
pins and analog ground respectively.
Playback DACs
The HMP9701A uses oversampling single bit
Σ∆
DACs to
convert the stereo playback sample to an analog line level
output. The output of the DACs pass through internal recon-
struction filters that do not require any external components.

HMP9701A
Analog Mixer
The Analog Mixer generates two outputs, one stereo and
one mono. The stereo output is used to drive LINE_OUT and
is composed of a stereo mix of all analog input sources and
the audio output from the DACs. The mono output drives
MONO_OUT, and it is user selectable as either MIC only or
a mono mix of all the analog and PCM sources except the
PHONE and PC_BEEP inputs.
The inputs to the analog mixer pass through gain/attenu-
ate/mute (GAM) blocks. Each gain block provides volume
control from -34.5dB to +12dB in 1.5dB increments (see
Input Volume Registers 0Ch - 18h). Additionally, the GAM
blocks can be used to mute individual mixer inputs. An addi-
tional gain of 20dB is provided for the selected MIC input.
Note: for best SNR performance, the GAM block for the DAC
output should be used to control PCM analog volume rather
than digitally attenuating the DAC PCM input to take advan-
tage of full resolution conversions.
Clocking
The HMP9701A derives it’s internal clock from an externally
attached 24.576MHz crystal. The crystal and 2 capacitors
are attached to the XTL_IN and XTL_OUT pins, and it
should be fundamental-mode/parallel resonant with a load
capacitor as specified by the crystal manufacturer (typically
12-30pF). For an example circuit, refer to the Typical Appli-
cation Schematic.
An external CMOS clock may be connected to XTL_IN
instead of a crystal. If this external clocking option is used,
XTL_OUT should be left floating. Please Note: No capaci-
tors are used on the crystal pins in this mode.
The HMP9701A divides the clock source by 2 to derive the
BIT_CLK provided to the companion digital controller. The
digital controller should divide the provided BIT_CLK by 256
to generate the 48kHz SYNC signal used to define the audio
frame transmitted over the serial digital interface (See Serial
Digital Interface Section)
FIGURE 1. HMP9701A CONNECTION TO AC’97 CONTROLLER
Serial Digital Interface
Audio Data Format
The HMP9701A supports 16-bit 2’s complement linear PCM
data for record and playback. The 16-bit 2’s complement for-
mat (also called 16-bit signed format) is the standard method
of representing 16-bit digital audio. This format gives 96dB
theoretical dynamic range and is the standard for compact
disk audio players. This format uses the value -32768
(8000h) to represent minimum analog amplitude while
32767 (7FFFh) represents maximum analog amplitude.

Digital Serial Interface (AC Link)
The HMP9701A is linked to an AC’97 digital controller via a 5
pin digital serial interface as shown in Figure 1. This inter-
face, the AC-link, supports bidirectional, fixed rate, serial
data streams. The data transfers are based on a time divi-
sion multiplexed (TDM) protocol that provides for multiple
input and output audio streams together with control and sta-
tus data. The AC-link protocol is based on incoming and out-
going audio frames which are each divided into 12 data slots
as shown in Figure 2. The HMP9701A allocates data slots
for 2 PCM playback channels, 2 PCM record channels,
codec control, codec status, and a PCM microphone record
channel. The remaining unused time slots are reserved.

FIGURE 3. AC LINK AUDIO OUTPUT FRAME
The HMP9701A generates a serial bit clock (BIT_CLK) at
12.288MHz for synchronous data transfers on the AC Link.
Data is output on SDATA_IN by the rising edge of BIT_CLK,
and serial data is sampled on SDATA_OUT by the falling
edge of BIT_CLK. An audio frame transfer is initiated by the
assertion of SYNC for the 16 BIT_CLK’s comprising the Tag
Phase of the audio frame. The SYNC signal must be
asserted at a fixed 48kHz rate, and it can be derived by
dividing down the BIT_CLK.
The tag phase is a 16-bit data slot (Slot 0) wherein each bit
is a data valid flag for an associated time slot within the cur-
rent audio frame. A “1” in a given bit position of Slot 0 indi-
cates that the corresponding time slot within the audio frame
contains valid data. If the HMP9701A “tags” a slot invalid, it
will set the data bits comprising that slot to zero.
AC Link Output Frame (SDATA_OUT)
The audio output frame contains data targeted for the
HMP9701A’s DAC inputs, and control registers. This data is
transmitted in slots 1 through 4 of the audio frame as shown
in Figure 2. The tag slot, Slot 0, is a special reserved time
slot containing 16 bits that tell the AC-link interface circuitry
the validity of the following data slots.
The HMP9701A is synchronized to the beginning of a new
audio output frame when SYNC makes a low to high transi-
tion and is sampled low by the falling edge of BIT_CLK as
shown in Figure 3. On the next rising of BIT_CLK, the
AC’97 controller drives SDATA_OUT with the first bit of slot
0 (Valid Frame bit) which is then sampled by the
HMP9701A on the subsequent falling edge of BCLK. The
controller drives the remaining audio frame bits out on
SDATA_OUT with each rising edge of BCLK, and the
HMP9701A samples these bits on the subsequent falling
edge.
The first bit of the output audio frame (Slot 0, bit 15) flags
the validity of the entire audio frame. If the “Valid Frame” bit
is a 1, this indicates that the current audio frame contains
at least one time slot of valid data. The HMP9701A moni-
tors the next 4-bit positions to determine whether the data
in the control and PCM output data slots is valid. The
remaining 8 bits in Slot 0 are ignored as they are associ-
ated with reserved data slots.

The 20-bit data word in each time slot must be transmitted MSB
first. If the data word targeted for a time slot is less than 20 bits,
the data word must be MSB justified in the most significant bits
of the time slot with the unused bits set to zero. For example, an
8-bit audio sample would be transmitted in bits 19-12 of the
time slot with the trailing 12 bits set to zero. The MSB of the
audio sample would map to bit 19 of the time slot. Note: for the
playback of mono audio streams, the digital controller must
send the same sample to each PCM output channel.
Audio Output Slot 1: Control Address
The bits in Slot 1 are used to access the 16-bit control/status
registers within the HMP9701A. The address space allo-
cated in slot 1 allows up to 64 sixteen bit registers, however,
only the even registers are valid (see Control/Status register
section for a complete register map). The control registers
are read/writable to provide more robust testability. A read or
write command is initiated by setting the Read/Write bit (Bit
19) in Slot 1. A complete bit map for Slot 1 is given in the
Table 1. Note: control data will only be loaded into the target
registers if Slot 2 (Control Data) is flagged as being valid.

time slot containing 16 bits that tell the AC-link interface cir-
cuitry the validity of the following data slots.
The HMP9701A starts a new audio input frame when SYNC
makes a low to high transition and is sampled low by the falling
edge of BIT_CLK as shown in Figures 5 and 6. On the next ris-
ing edge of BIT_CLK, the HMP9701A drives SDATA_IN with
the first bit of slot 0 (Codec Ready bit). The HMP9701A drives
the remaining audio frame bits out on SDATA_IN with each ris-
ing edge of BIT_CLK. Note: SYNC must be synchronous to
BIT_CLK.

Set unused bit positions to “0”
The first bit of an input audio frame (Slot 0, bit 15) indicates
whether the HMP970’s AC Link is functional. If the “Codec
Ready” bit is a 0, the HMP9701A is not ready for normal
operation. If the “Codec Ready” bit is “1”, the HMP9701A is
ready to perform control and status register transfers. At this
point, it is the responsibility of the digital controller to exam-
ine the Powerdown Control/Status register (see Control Reg-
ister Section) to determine the operational state of the codec
subsections. The 12 bits following the “Codec Ready” Bit in
Slot 0 identify which of the 12 time slots contain valid data.
The HMP9701A outputs each time slots data word MSB first
on SDATA_IN. All non-valid bit positions (for active or inac-
tive time slots) are stuffed with 0’s by the HMP9701A.
Input Audio Slot 1: Status Address
This slot echoes the index of the control register whose con-
tents are returned in slot 2. The data in this register is the
