8.1 Presentation time stamp detection
8.1.0.1 PTS Signal
This signal, PTS, is used to signal the detection of a Presentation Time Stamp in a stream, for audio/video syn-
chronization. When a PTS is detected, the signal PTS goes low during one LRCLK period. It is generated while
the PCM are output, so to enable the use of an external counter to synchronize the STA310 with a video decod-
er.
The signal is activated, even if PTS interrupt is not enabled.
8.1.1 PTS interrupt
When enabled through the INTE register, the interrupt PTS is generated when a PTS is detected. The interrupt
is signalled on the IRQ output, which goes low. The IRQ signal is de-activated once the PTS bit has been
cleared in INT register by reading the PTS Most Significant Bit.
8.1.2 PTS interrupt and signal relative timings
The IRQ configured as PTS interrupt is output before the PTS signal. The PTS signal is activated at last one
period of LRCLK after the IRQ signal.
8.2 Frames skip capability
When the audio decoder is late compared to the video decoder, the decoder is able to skip frames. Writing 1 in
the SKIP_FRAME register makes the decoder ignore the next incoming frame. Once skipping the frame, it con-
tinues to decode the stream, and the SKIP_FRAME register is automatically reset.
8.3 Frames repeat capability
When the audio decoder is ahead of the video decoder, the decoder can repeat frames. Writing 1 in the
REPEAT_FRAME register makes the decoder repeat the current frame. Once repeating the frame, the chip
plays the next incoming frame, and the REPEAT_FRAME register is reset.

9.1 Introduction
The STA310 device contains 256 registers.
Two types of registers exist:
In this document, only the user registers are described.
The undocumented registers are reserved. These registers must never be accessed (neither in Read nor in
Write mode).
The Read only registers must never be written
32/90
- From address 0x00 to 0x3F, the registers are real registers that can be initialized after reset.
- From address 0x40 to 0x100, they are memory locations. This means that the registers located at the
AUDIO/VIDEO SYNCHRONIZATION
REGISTER MANUAL
address 0x40 to 0x100 can have different meanings and usage according to the mode in which the
device operates.
Be careful that they can not be hardware reset: they contain undefined values at reset and require to
be initialized after each hardware reset.
