Beyond AC97 Audio Controller


Beyond AC97 Audio Controller is fully run-time configurable IP core, enabling nimble audio channel and slot setup, and can be optimized for specific application. Implemented to minimize audio data handling by System on Chip’s processor the controller requires only setup of AC97 DMA engine, no external device is needed for AC97 to operate afterwards.
Beyond AC97 Audio Controller is designed to enable easy control of external AC97 CODECs using multi-port AMBA AHB/APB or WISHBONE SOC interconnect. External interface supports one external AC97 revision 2.3 compliant audio CODEC with 6 output (3 of them can be Double Rate Audio) and 3 input channels.
