ISD
Note:
When a command has a return value, the ISD-SR3000 transmits bytes of the return value instead
of the echo value.
The ISD-SR3000 transmits a byte as an echo when it receives the value 0xAA from the host
controller. Upon detection of an error, the ISD-SR3000 activates the MWRQST signal and sets
the ERR_COMM bit in the error word.
2.6
The ISD-SR3000 memory is externally stored on a ROM or a FLASH device. These devices
are addressed through an Expansion Memory mechanism containing four registers that yields
to a 20 bit address bus, A(0:19), and 16 bit of data bus, D(0:15). For a detailed description and
references, please refer to section 1.2.7.

CODEC INTERFACE
2.7.1
The ISD-SR3000 processor supports two operational modes: the master mode and the slave
mode. In master mode, the ISD-SR3000 provides the clock and the synchronization signals. It
supports a list of single channel and dual channel CODECs, as listed in Table 1-4. In slave
mode, the control signals are provided by an external source.
SUPPORTED FUNCTIONALITY
The CODEC interface is designed to exchange data in short frame format as well as in long
frame format. The channel width may be either 8 bits (u-Law format or A-Law format), or 16 bits
(linear format). In slave mode the clock may be divided by two, if required (two bit rate clock
mode). The ISD-SR3000 processor supports up to 2 voice channels.
See “THE CODEC INTERFACE” on
page 1-7
for a detailed description of the supported CO-
DEC devices and the hardware connectivity.
Use the CFG command to define the CODEC mode (master or slave), the data frame format
(short or long), the channel width (8 bits or 16 bits), the clock bit rate (single or dual) and the
number and type of CODEC (one or two, single channel or dual channel).

words and phrases stored in a vocabulary.
