Data is shifted in and stored when the next synchronization pattern is detected;
(SYNASYN = 1 and AUDMODE = 0).
(SYNASYN = 1).
Synchronous/asynchronous selection; this controls the method by which data is started and
stopped by the block decoder, only operates in data mode.
Causes a ‘panic stop’. A partial frame will reside in current and subsequent buffers unless
SIM_EOF is set then cleared; (ECMD = 1).
Data is started and stopped on frame boundaries (on synchronization patterns).
Data mode. Cleared on reset.
Audio mode, where the bit clock is shifted to accommodate EIAJ format. HQRDY in
INTRFLG follows HDRRDY in data mode and QFRMDRY in audio mode.
Enable red book to data path; while in audio mode, this is equivalent to ECMD in the data
mode. No asynchronous stop is provided in the audio mode.
Data flow will stop when the next F1 C-flag is detected. Cleared on a reset condition.
Red book data is input to buffer after the detection of the next F1 C-flag.
This must be pulsed HIGH then LOW every 212 ms to prevent the watch-dog timer from
resetting the SAA7385 and the drive. The length of the reset pulse is 967 s. If RWMD is set,
the watch-dog timer is disabled.
When set, the S2B UART transmitter output is held HIGH.
When the pulse is HIGH then LOW, the block decoder begins to search for a synchronization
pattern in the data bitstream. Once a synchronization pattern is found, MODE, MINS, SECS,
and FRMS become valid.
This provides a firmware reset to the frame sequencer and parts of the buffer manager.
This would be required if an asynchronous stop of the data stream occurs. Pulsing this HIGH
then LOW resets all counters and establishes a ‘beginning of frame’ state. DCOACT in
RDDSTAT must be LOW to allow SIM_EOF to have any effect. If SIM_EOF is set, no data or
sub-code is stored in the buffer.
Data flow stop just before next synchronization pattern. ECMD is set on a reset condition;
