[AK8859VN]
[7.31.] VBI information decoding
The AK8859VN decodes closed-caption, closed-caption-extended, VBID(CGMS), and WSS signals on the
vertical blanking signal, and writes the decoded data into a storage register. The AK8859VN reads each
data bit in Request VBI Information Register (Sub Address: 0x13 [3:0]) as a decoding request and
thereupon enters a data wait state. Data detection and decoding to the storage register are then
performed which indicates the presence or absence of data at STATUS 2 Register (Sub Address: 0x16
[3:0]) for host. The host can therefore determine the stored values by reading the respective storage
registers. The value in each storage register is retained until a new value is written in by data renewal. For
VBID data (CGMS-A), the CRCC code is decoded and only the arithmetic result is stored in the register.
