AT76C2XX 2 the AT76C2XX is based on a high-performance program- mable digital signal processor capable of decoding dolby digital (ac-3) bitstreams. it contains the necessary hard- ware resources to run the dolby digital program, but can also be used as a high-performance, general-purpose audio encoder/decoder chip. the AT76C2XX can decode dolby digital bitstreams generating up to 6 independent audio channels (3 forward channels, 2 rear channels, and a sub-woofer channel). alternately, the AT76C2XX can decode audio in the dts and musicam formats. the AT76C2XX is targeted for home-theater and multimedia products, providing users with the ultimate surround sound experience. all dolby digital software is integrated inside the chip and supports all data rates and sampling frequencies used in the standard. the AT76C2XX can handle dolby digital bit streams encoded at rates of up to 640k bps and 48 khz. in addition, for pcm processing, the AT76C2XX is capable of capturing and generating audio samples at sampling fre- quencies up to 96 khz. it is also designed to decode multi- channel dolby digital bit streams and downmix to two out- put channels in the 2/0 (lt, rt) dolby prologic channel configuration mode. output pcm samples of 24-bit preci- sion can be produced, or they may be rounded to 20, 18, or 16 bits. the AT76C2XX is capable of generating the sam- pling rate and bit clocks necessary to drive external d/a converters directly, or it can accept these clocks from an external source. the internal memory resources are shown in the following table. architecture the main functional units of this chip are the program con- trol unit, the address generation unit, the data arith- metic/logic unit, the external interface unit, and the system stack. there are three 16-bit unidirectional address buses, providing support for three separate memo- ries of up to 64k words each. the program address bus (pab) controls access to the program memory, while inter- nal data memory is addressed by either the x address bus or y address bus (xab, yab). similarly, there is one bidi- rectional 40-bit program bus and two bidirectional 24-bit data buses. the program data bus (pdb) is used to fetch instructions from the program address space to the instruc- tion decoding unit. it can also be used to load the program memory with code from external memory during a boot- strapping operation. the other data buses (xdb, ydb) transfer to and from the x data address space and the y data address space, respectively. operations on each of the three data buses can occur independently of other data transfers, and all may be in use simultaneously, depending on the instruction being executed. general architectural features: ? 45 mhz instruction clock (45 mips) ? two 24-bit datapaths, one 40-bit datapath ? 16-bit addressing ? three-stage instruction pipeline: fetch, decode, execute ? 4k x 40 program memory, 8k x 24 x data memory, 4k x 24 y data memory ? high degree of parallelism due to 40-bit instruction words - up to 2 parallel data moves per instruction ? addressing modes include index-based, circular, and bit- reversed indexed (for radix-2 ffts) ? zero-overhead single and block instruction repeats ? nestable block repeats ? two 56-bit accumulator registers ? alu performs multiply and accumulate plus convergent rounding in one clock cycle ? saturation logic for overflow protection ? 15 x 32 hardware stack ? external memory interface provides program/data bootstrapping capability ? three external interrupts - two maskable, one non- maskable ? support for zero-overhead, fast automatic return interrupts ? general purpose output pin for control of external devices ? programmable interrupt/reset timer ? two plls - one for internal logic clocks, one for d/a converter clocks ? sleep (standby) mode ? 3.3-volt core and i/o memory type x data y data program total data memory 8k x 24 2k x 24 1k x 40 35k bytes program memory 2k x 24 3k x 40 21k bytes
