5.5. AC-link Interoperability Requirements and Recommendations
5.5.1. “Atomic slot” Treatment of Slot 1 Address and Slot 2 Data
Command or Status Address and Data cannot be split across multiple AC-link frames. The following
transactions require that valid Slot 1 Address and valid Slot 2 Data be treated as “atomic” (insepara-
ble) with Slot 0 Tag bits for Address and Data set accordingly (that is, both valid):
1. AC‘97 Digital Controller write commands to Primary CODECs
2. AC‘97 CODEC status responses
Whenever the AC‘97 Digital Controller addresses a Primary CODEC or an AC‘97 CODEC responds
to a read command, Slot 0 Tag bits should always be set to indicate actual Slot 1 and Slot 2 data
validity.

When the AC‘97 Digital Controller addresses a Secondary CODEC, the Slot 0 Tag bits for Address
and Data must be 0. A non-zero, 2-bit CODEC ID in the LSBs of Slot 0 indicates a valid Read or
Write Address in Slot 1, and the Slot 1 R/W bit indicates presence or absence of valid data in Slot 2.
