AT91SAM9RL64_14 Datasheet, PDF (718/903 Pages) ATMEL Corporation – Multi-layer AHB Bus Matrix for Large Bandwidth Transfers

This feature is implemented in AC97 modem codecs that need to report events such as Caller-
ID and wake-up on ring.
The AC97 Codec can drive AC97RX signal from low to high level and holding it high until the
controller issues either a cold or a worm reset. The AC97RX rising edge is asynchronously
(regarding AC97FS) detected by the AC’97 Controller. If WKUP bit is enabled in AC97C_IMR
register, an interrupt is triggered that wakes up the AC‘97 Controller which should then immedi-
ately issue a cold or a warm reset.
If the processor needs to be awakened by an external event, the AC97RX signal must be exter-
nally connected to the WAKEUP entry of the system controller.

AC97 Codec Reset
There are three ways to reset an AC97 Codec.
Cold AC’97 Reset
A cold reset is generated by asserting the RESET signal low for the minimum specified time
(depending on the AC97 Codec) and then by de-asserting RESET high. AC97CK and AC97FS
is reactivated and all AC97 Codec registers are set to their default power-on values. Transfers
on AC-link can resume.
The RESET signal will be controlled via a PIO line. This is how an application should perform a
cold reset:
• Clear and set ENA flag in the AC97C_MR register to reset the AC’97 Controller
• Clear PIO line output controlling the AC’97 RESET signal
• Wait for the minimum specified time
• Set PIO line output controlling the AC’97 RESET signal
AC97CK, the clock provided by AC97 Codec, is detected by the controller.
Warm AC’97 Reset
A warm reset reactivates the AC-link without altering AC97 Codec registers. A warm reset is sig-
naled by driving AC97FX signal high for a minimum of 1us in the absence of AC97CK. In the
absence of AC97CK, AC97FX is treated as an asynchronous (regarding AC97FX) input used to
signal a warm reset to AC97 Codec.
This is the right way to perform a warm reset:
• Set WRST in the AC97C_MR register.
