GS2970A Datasheet, PDF (76/150 Pages) Gennum Corporation – Integrated audio clock generator

programmed (with the other set to zero), ancillary data packets are extracted from one
line per frame only. When both registers are set to zero, the device extracts packets from
all lines.
To start Ancillary Data Extraction, the ANC_DATA_EXT_MASK bit of the host interface
must be set LOW. Ancillary data packet extraction begins in the following frame (see
Figure 4-31: Ancillary Data Extraction - Step A).

Ancillary data is written into Bank A until full. The Y/1ANC and C/2ANC output flags
can be used to determine the length of the ancillary data extracted and when to begin
reading the extracted data from memory.
While the ANC_DATA_EXT_MASK bit is set LOW, the ANC_DATA_SWITCH bit can be
set HIGH during or after reading the extracted data. New data is then written into Bank
B (up to 1024 x 16-bit words), at the corresponding host interface addresses (see Figure
4-32: Ancillary Data Extraction - Step B).
