Preliminary specification
SAA2520
MPEG Coded Interface (Sub-band I2S)
The MPEG coded data is transferred to and from the
SAA2520 using the format shown in Fig.14.
Each period of SBWS contains 64 data bits, 32 of which
are used to convey data. The half-period during which
SBWS is logic 0 is used to transfer the first 16-bits (0 to 15)
of a sub-band slot. The remaining half-period during which
SBWS is logic 1 carries the remaining 16-bits (16 to 31).
Thus one period of SBWS corresponds with one slot of the
sub-band signal.
Bits 0 and 16 are transferred in the bit clock period, one
bit-time after the change in SBWS. Both SBWS and SBDA
change state during the negative edge of SBCL.
In decode mode a byte error flag SBEF is also transferred.
This occurs approximately in the middle of the
corresponding byte (byte 0 = bits 0 to 7,
byte 1 = bits 8 to 15 etc).
Encoding mode
SBCL, SBWS and SBDA are generated by the SAA2520.
However, if the SBDIR signal is logic 1, the output buffers
are not enabled and these signals do not appear on the
pins. This mode is available to permit a change of
operating mode whilst the bus signals are driven from an
external source.
Decoding mode
SBCL, SBWS and SBDA are generated by an external
source.
Table 3 contains a summary of the source signals in the
various modes.

Notes
1. During encoding the SBEF signal is ‘don’t care’.
2. Incoming data is not decoded. The SAA2520 operates in the encoding mode and the data does not enter the
interface.
3. Operation is undefined. The SAA2520 is in decoding mode whilst the SBWS, SBCL and SBDA output drivers are
enabled.
