7.1
For layers I and II of ISO/MPEG the broadband audio
signal spectrum is split into 32 sub-bands of equal
bandwidth. For each sub-band signal a masking threshold
is calculated. The sub-band samples are then
re-quantized to such an accuracy that the spectral
distribution of the re-quantization noise does not exceed
the masking threshold. It is this reduction of representation
accuracy which yields the data reduction. The
re-quantized sub-band signals are multiplexed, together
with ancillary information regarding the actual
re-quantization, into a MPEG audio bitstream.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Coding system
The perceptual audio encoding/decoding scheme defined
within the “ISO/IEC 11172-3 MPEG Standard” allows for a
high reduction in the amount of data needed for digital
audio whilst maintaining a high perceived sound quality.
The coding is based upon a psycho-acoustic model of the
human auditory system. The coding scheme exploits the
fact that the human ear does not perceive weak spectral
components that are in the proximity (both in time and
frequency) of loud components. This phenomenon is
called masking.

Preliminary specification
Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) decoder
During decoding, the SAA2501 de-multiplexes the MPEG
audio bitstream, and with knowledge of the ancillary
information, reconstructs and combines the sub-band
signals into a broadband audio output signal.

read Program Associated Data, and so on.
Several pins are reserved for Boundary Scan Test and
Scan Test purposes.
Basic functionality
7.3
From a functional point of view, several blocks can be
distinguished in the SAA2501. A clock generator section
derives the internally and externally required clock signals
from its clock inputs. The SAA2501 can switch between a
master and a slave input interface to receive the coded
input data. The input processor parses and de-multiplexes
the input data stream. The de-quantization and scaling
processor performs the transformation and scaling
operations on the sample representations in the input
bitstream to yield sub-band domain samples.
SAA2501 clocks
The SAA2501 clock interfacing is designed for application
versatility. It consists of 10 signals (see Table 1).
From a functional point of view, the clock generator inside
the device can be represented as shown in Fig.3.
As described above, the SAA2501 incorporates a master
input interface on which it requests for coded input data
itself, as well as a slave input interface for an imposed
coded data input bitstream. The input interface is selected
with flags MSEL0 and MSEL1, controlled via the L3
microcontroller interface.
The sub-band samples are transferred via an external
detour to the synthesis sub-band filter bank processor.
The detour can be used to process the decoded audio in
the sub-band domain. The baseband audio samples,
reconstructed by the sub-band filter bank, can be
processed before being output.
Depending on the selected input interface, only a limited
number of the three possible input clocks (MCLKIN, X22IN
and FSCLKIN) is actually required. The various clock
options are selected with the 3 external control signals
MCLK24, FSCLKM and FSCLK384. These control signals
must be stationary while the device reset signal at
pin RESET is de-activated; changing any of these
3 signals without simultaneously resetting the SAA2501
can result in malfunctioning.
The decoding control block houses the L3 control
interface, and handles the response to external control
signals. The L3 control interface enables the application to

7.5
The main advantage of this configuration is that the
SAA2501 determines automatically which sample rate
is active from the sampling rate setting of the input
data bitstream, and then selects either MCLKIN or
X22IN as the clock source for the I2S clocks SCK and
WS. This configuration is therefore particularly suited
in applications with more than one possible sample
rate setting.
Clock frequencies when using the slave input
If the slave input is used (MSEL1 and MSEL0 = 10 or 11),
the SAA2501 clock sources are MCLKIN and FSCLKIN
and X22IN is not used. The I2S clocks SCK and WS are
generated by the SAA2501 from FSCLKIN. FSCLKIN may
be designated to have a frequency of 256 times (indicated
by FSCLK384 = 0) or 384 times (indicated by
FSCLK384 = 1) the sample frequency of the coded input
data. Master clock signal MCLKIN may be chosen to have
a frequency of 12.288 MHz (indicated by MCLK24 = 0) or
24.576 MHz (indicated by MCLK24 = 1). MCLKIN and
FSCLKIN do not have to be phase or frequency locked. If
the application is based on a sample frequency of 48 kHz
or 32 kHz, and a sample rate related clock of 12.288 MHz
(256 × 48 kHz; 384 × 32 kHz) is available, this can be
taken advantage of by using this signal for both MCLKIN
and FSCLKIN.
7.6
2. If FSCLKM = 1, the configuration is comparable to the
configuration when using the slave input
(see Section 7.5). MCLKIN and FSCLKIN are used as
the clock sources, and X22IN is not required. MCLKIN
may again have a frequency of 12.288 MHz (indicated
by MCLK24 = 0) or 24.576 MHz (indicated by
MCLK24 = 1), and FSCLKIN may have a frequency of
256 times (indicated by FSCLK384 = 0) or 384 times
(indicated by FSCLK384 = 1) the sample frequency of
the input data. MCLKIN and FSCLKIN do not have to
be phase or frequency locked.
Clock frequencies when using the master input
If the master input is used (MSEL1 and MSEL0 = 00), one
out of two configurations is selected with signal FSCLKM
with respect to the clock sources:
7.7
In Table 2 the three target applications of the SAA2501 are
summarised. The slave input application is labelled S, and
the master input applications are labelled M0 and M1.
1. If FSCLKM = 0, MCLKIN and X22IN are the clock
sources. FSCLKIN is not used in this configuration.
FSCLK384 must be set to logic 0 for reasons of
internal connections in the clock generator circuitry.
MCLKIN may have only frequency 24.576 MHz (so
mandatory accompanied by MCLK24 = 1), and X22IN
must have a frequency of 22.5792 MHz. MCLKIN and
X22IN do not have to be phase or frequency locked.

2. FSCLKIN is not used, but FSCLK384 must be LOW.
3. Must be electrically defined; e.g. LOW.
Sections 7.5 and 7.6 explain which clock sources are
activated by the SAA2501 depending on the selected input
interface. This automatic clock source selection makes it
easy to apply the SAA2501 in systems with two
ISO/MPEG coded data sources (one connected to the
master input, an one to the slave input), even if these data
sources use different clocks.
7.8
decoding process, as well as the audio post-processing
features, offered by the SAA2501, are described in more
detail in Section 7.10.
7.10
After a reset, the SAA2501 mutes both sub-band and
baseband audio data. After data inputting has started, the
SAA2501 searches either for a sync pattern or a sync
pulse. The speed at which input data is read by the master
input to search for synchronization is described below. If
the application is such that the SAA2501 starts at a
random moment in time compared to the bitstream,
maximal one frame is skipped before a synchronization
pattern or pulse is encountered.
Buffered clock outputs
The SAA2501 provides a signal MCLK which is a buffered
version of MCLKIN. MCLK can be set to 3-state by setting
the L3 control interface flag MCKDIS to 1 in applications
where MCLK is not needed.
Signal FSCLK is copied from the FSCLKIN input for
application types S and M1 or generated with a frequency
of 256fs by the SAA2501 for application type M0. After a
device reset, FSCLK must be enabled explicitly by setting
L3 flag FCKENA, or can alternatively be left 3-stated in
applications where it is not needed.
When the SAA2501 has detected the first synchronization
word or pulse, a number of frames are decoded in order to
verify synchronization; the input data for these frames is
read and decoded, but meanwhile the audio output is
muted. The number of muted frames depends on the input
data format (ISO/MPEG or EU147), whether the
ISO/MPEG Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) is active,
and whether the bit rate is free format. If the
synchronization is found to be false, the SAA2501
resumes the initial synchronization as described above. If
the detected pulse/pattern is concluded to be a real
synchronization pulse/pattern, Table 3 indicates the
number of muted frames.
After a device reset, MCLK is enabled; FSCLK is disabled
(i.e. both MCKDIS and FCKENA are set to logic 0).
7.9
Functionality issues
The SAA2501 fully complies with ISO/MPEG layer I and II
and EU147 with the slave input. With the master input, the
SAA2501 complies with ISO/MPEG layer I and II,
excluding the free format bit rate. Several aspects of the

7.11
As explained in Section 7.10, the SAA2501 can be used to
alternate between two applications: one with the slave
input, and one with the master input. When using the
master input, the SAA2501 should fetch data with the
effective bit rate, but cannot know what the bit rate of the
input data is until it has established synchronization. To
overcome this paradox, the input requesting is done at the
last selected bit rate.

Note
1. X = don’t care.
When FSCLKM = 0, the default master input bit rate is
384 kbits/s. When FSCLKM = 1, the SAA2501 uses signal
FSCLKIN to derive the selected bit rate, but it has no
indication concerning the sample rate corresponding to
FSCLKIN. Therefore, a bit rate of 384 kbits/s is selected at
an assumed sample rate of 44.1 kHz; with other sample
rates, the bit rate changes proportionally.
2. When the active input interface is changed from the
master to the slave input, or the signal STOP is
activated; in these events input requesting stops.
3. When the active input interface is changed from the
slave to the master input, or the signal STOP is
deactivated; the bit rate is set to the last selected
master input bit rate (the last selected master input bit
rate is memorised while using the slave input).
The consequence is that while the SAA2501 synchronises
(e.g. after a device reset), the application must at least be
able to supply at the given default bit rate the required
number of frames plus one additional frame (because of
the random decoding start point in the input bitstream).
Buffers in the application must thus be chosen sufficiently
large to prevent under or overflows.
In all other events (e.g. when the SAA2501 goes and stays
out of synchronization), the data requesting speed of the
master input is maintained.
7.12
When using the slave input, or when using the master
input with FSCLKM = 1, the application must know the
sample rate: FSCLKIN must be applied, which has a
frequency which is a multiple of the sample rate; the
(sample rate dependent) I2S timing signals SCK and WS
are generated from FSCLKIN. These configurations will
normally be used in applications with a fixed sample rate.
Should the sample rate change, then the SAA2501 must
be reset.
The speed with which input data is requested by the
master input is changed by the SAA2501 in each of the
following cases:
1. When input synchronization is established after
checking a number of frames and the bit rate index of
the newly decoded bitstream indicates a different bit
rate than that currently selected. In this event, the bit
rate is adapted to the newly decoded index.

Sample rate selection

Philips Semiconductors
Preliminary specification
Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) decoder
When using the master input with FSCLKM = 0, the
SAA2501 selects the active sample rate autonomously,
and generates the signals SCK and WS from its crystal
clocks. After a device reset, the SAA2501 selects a sample
rate of 44.1 kHz by default.
allocation or scale factor select information field in a frame
(then the SAA2501 will mute) or inside the scale factor field
(then the previous scale factor will be copied). Errors in
other data fields are not handled explicitly. If the
ISO/MPEG CRC is active, only the CRC result is
interpreted: CDSEF/CDMEF un-reliability indications for
bit allocation and scale factor select information are
neglected.
SCK and WS may, and will only, show phase or frequency
changes in any of the following 3 situations:
1. When the SAA2501 establishes synchronization with
the coded data input bitstream.
In applications where the ISO/MPEG CRC is always
present, the protection bit (which itself is not protected) in
the ISO/MPEG header may be overruled by making L3
settings flag CRCACT HIGH. In this manner, the SAA2501
is made robust for data errors on the protection bit.
2. When the active input interface is changed from the
master input with FSCLKM = 0 to the slave input (i.e.
the timing source for the generation of SCK and WS is
switched from the crystal clocks to FSCLKIN).
3. When the active input interface is changed from the
slave input to the master input with FSCLKM = 0 (i.e.
the timing source for the generation of SCK and WS is
switched from FSCLKIN to the crystal clocks); the
sample rate is set to the last selected sample rate that
was used with the master input (the last selected
sample rate is memorized while using the slave input).
7.14

Baseband audio processing
The baseband audio de-emphasis as indicated in the
ISO/MPEG input data is performed digitally inside the
SAA2501. The incorporated ‘Audio Processing Unit’ (APU)
(see Fig.5) can be used to apply inter-channel crosstalk or
independent volume control per channel. The APU
attenuation coefficients LL, LR, RL and RR may be
changed dynamically by the host microcontroller, writing
their 8-bit indices to the SAA2501 over the L3 control bus.
The coefficient changes become effective within one
sample period after the coefficient index writing.
Handling of errors in the coded input data
The SAA2501 can handle errors in the input data. Errors
are assumed to be present in 3 events:
1. If errors are indicated with the coded input data error
flag CDSEF and/or CDMEF.
2. On CRC failure if ISO/MPEG error protection is active.
To avoid clicks at coefficient changes, the transition from
the current attenuation to the next is smoothed. The
relation between the APU coefficient index and the actual
coefficient (i.e. the gain) is given in Table 5.
3. If input bitstream syntax errors are detected.
Errors in the input data have an effect on the decoding
process if the corrupted data is inside the header, bit
January 1995
Sub-band filter signals
The decoded sub-band signals are output, together with
an error indication so that concealment can be applied
externally. The optionally concealed sub-band signals are
put back into the SAA2501 for synthesis filtering.
In all other cases, SCK and WS keep on running without
phase or frequency changes, and the sample rate
selection remains unchanged.

Note that the APU has no built-in overflow protection, so
the application must take care that the output signals of the
APU cannot exceed 0 dB level. For an update of the APU
coefficients, it may be required to increase some of the
coefficients and decrease some others. The APU
coefficients are always written sequentially in the fixed
sequence LL, LR, RL and RR. Therefore, to prevent
internal APU data overflow due to non-simultaneous
coefficient updating, the following steps can be followed:

Decoding control signals
The decoding is performed by 3 signals as shown in
Table 6.

If synchronization is found, the SAA2501 starts producing

An ‘unreliable data’ indication can be given to the
SAA2501 by making signal URDA HIGH. URDA, like
STOP, mutes the sub-band signals and forces the
SAA2501 out of synchronization. However, in contrast to
STOP, master input data requesting continues at the bit
rate that was decoded before URDA became active. The
maximum response time to URDA is half a sample period.
The master reset signal RESET forces the SAA2501 into
its default state when HIGH. RESET must stay HIGH
during at least 24 MCLKIN periods if MCLKIN has
frequency of 24 MHz (i.e. MCLK24 = 1) or 12 MCLKIN
periods if MCLKIN has a frequency of 12 MHz
(MCLK24 = 0). At a reset, the SAA2501 synchronization to
the input bitstream is lost, the sub-band filter and
baseband audio output signals are muted, and the
SAA2501 settings are initialized.

Coded data interfaces
The SAA2501 contains:
• A coded data master input interface
• A coded data slave input interface (designed for EU147
format).
The decoding can be stopped by making input signal
STOP HIGH. Stopping the decoding forces the SAA2501
to end decoding of input data, yet feeding zeroed
sub-band samples to the synthesis sub-band filter bank to
create a soft muting. When using the master input, input
requesting is also stopped. CDMWS stays in its current
state while STOP is asserted. The SAA2501 assumes the
input synchronization to be lost when the decoding is
stopped, thus causing re-synchronization when STOP is

in bursts of 16 valid bits. Coded data input frames may
only start either at the first or at the ninth bit of a 16 bit valid

CDS is the SAA2501 input data bitstream. Data clock
CDSCL must have a frequency equal to or higher than the
bit rate. The maximum CDSCL frequency is 768 kHz. Error
flag CDSEF is handled in the same way as CDMEF is
handled for the master input (in Fig.8, one unreliable data
bit is shown as an example). The value of CDSEF is
neglected for those bits where CDSWA is LOW. Window
signal CDSWA being HIGH indicates valid data; in this
way, burst input data is allowed. The constraints for the
ability to use ‘burst signals’ are explained later in this
Section 7.17.2. Frame sync signal CDSSY indicates the
start of each input data frame. CDSSY is synchronous with
CDSCL. CDSSY may be present or not: as described later
January 1995
in this Section 7.17.2. The first valid CDS bit after a leading
edge of CDSSY is interpreted to be the first frame bit.
The minimum time for CDSSY to stay HIGH is one CDSCL
period; the maximum HIGH period is constrained by the
requirement that CDSSY must be LOW at least during one
CDSCL period per frame (a leading edge, i.e. a frame start
indication, must be present every frame). Leading edges
of CDSSY can occur while CDSWA is HIGH, as in Fig.8.
Alternatively, a situation as shown in Fig.9 is also allowed,
where CDSSY has a leading edge while CDSWA is LOW,
i.e. during invalid data. The first CDS bit after CDSWA
going HIGH is now interpreted to be the first frame bit.

Whether frame sync signal CDSSY is present or not must

(see Section 7.20.7). With respect to the presence of
CDSSY, two situations can be distinguished:
The data transferring of the first ISO/MPEG or EU147
frame after starting to decode is shown in Fig.10.
It shows the transferring of n-frame bits in one frame
between time 0 and t, where t corresponds to 384 sample
periods (ISO/MPEG layer I input data) or 1152 sample
periods (ISO/MPEG layer II input data). Buffer margin B
equals 16 bytes (128 bits). In Fig.10 an effective
transferring characteristic is drawn, representing any of
the possible ISO/MPEG bit rates. However, input data may
be transferred at a higher-than-effective speed (in other
words: CDSCL may have a higher frequency than the
effective bit rate) in periods during which CDSWA is HIGH,
interleaved with invalid data periods where CDSWA is
LOW. In the example of Fig.9 this is used to transfer the
data of the frame in two bursts, as shown by the actual
transferring characteristic. The actual transferring
characteristic has a slope equal to the CDSCL frequency
while CDSWA is HIGH, and is horizontal during the
periods in which CDSWA is LOW (no bits are being
transferred).
1. For EU147 coded input data CDSSY is mandatory.
2. For ISO/MPEG input data if CDSSY is supplied,
CDSWA may change each CDSCL period.
3. If CDSSY is not supplied, CDSCL must have a
frequency higher than the bit rate (i.e. CDSWA
cannot be continuously HIGH), and CDSWA HIGH
periods may have only lengths of a multiple of
8 CDSCL periods: data is input in byte bursts.
Furthermore, these bursts must be byte aligned with
the frame bounds: frames are only allowed to start at
the 1st, 9th, 17th etc. bit in a valid data burst. For
applications where data is input in bursts of exactly
one frame, and where CDSCL has a higher frequency
than the bit rate, CDSWA and CDSSY may be
interconnected.

7.17.4
The SAA2501 starts decoding as soon as enough data of
the first ISO/MPEG or EU147 input data frame has been
received. Thus the start moment of decoding depends on
the actual transferring characteristic of the first frame.
Decoding start times of subsequent input data frames are
also governed by this initial start time.

sub-band data signal is fed back as input FDAI in a similar
format as FDAO, but now the 8 unused bits between
individual samples are undefined; they are neglected by
the SAA2501.
Two sub-band samples (one per channel) are transmitted
per sample period with output FDAO. The transmission
pattern of the samples S [sb, ch] (sb: sub-band index; ch:
channel) is: S [0, L], S [0, R], S [1, L], S [1, R],..., S [31, R],
S [0, L], S [0, R], etc. Word select signal WS indicates the
channel of each sample (WS is also used for the baseband
audio output interfacing).
The sub-band sample bit clock SCK has a frequency of 64
times the sample frequency. The sub-band samples are
transmitted in 24 bit two's complement Pulse Code
Modulation (PCM) form, MSB first. Thus, of the available
32 FDAO bits per sample per channel, only 24 are used.

that the delay of the external processing is allowed to be

processing is to be applied, FDAO must be input back

FDEF can only change value at each FDFSY leading

The status of the SAA2501 can be read via L3. The
SAA2501 status flag L3RDY must be monitored before
transferring data item bytes to avoid transferring bytes
faster than the L3 interface of the SAA2501 can handle.
7.20.3
Control bytes can be written to the SAA2501.
Data is transferred to or from the SAA2501 in so-called
data items. The items can be a readable or writeable type.
A data item transfer is initiated by writing the

The actions shown in Fig.15 are:
SAA2501
Remark: any deviation from these steps may result in
illegal L3 protocol behaviour of the SAA2501, even with
the possibility of disturbing transfers to other devices
connected to the L3 bus.
1. In order for the SAA2501 to keep L3DATA in 3-state,
L3MODE must be kept LOW during the whole period
that reset signal at pin RESET is asserted; meanwhile,
no transfers can be performed (L3CLK stays HIGH).
7.20.4
2. For a proper initialization of the L3 interface logic of the
SAA2501, it is mandatory to make L3MODE HIGH and
LOW again after the device reset has been
de-activated. This must be done before any L3
transfer, even to or from other devices than the
SAA2501, is performed. Figure 14 shows that L3CLK
stays HIGH during this step.
L3 INTERFACE CONTROL
The control of the SAA2501 L3 interface is performed with
one-byte control words. Status polling is not necessary
before writing control bytes. After writing the SAA2501
‘write control’ operational address, one or more control
bytes may be written. Each written control byte overrules
the previously sent control byte.
3. Now the first transfer can be performed on the L3 bus.
This transfer must be a operational address (indicated
in Fig.14 by L3MODE = 0), addressing any of the
devices connected to the L3 bus. The first transfer to
the SAA2501 itself must always be either the writing of
a control word or the reading of the SAA2501 status;
the first transfer may never be a data item byte
transfer.

SAA2501
SAA2501 STATUS
The host can check the status of the SAA2501 by reading the one-byte status word. After writing the SAA2501 ‘read
status’ operational address, the status byte may be read an arbitrary number of times. If status is read more than once,
it is updated by the SAA2501 between the individual readings. The status flags of the SAA2501 have the definition as
shown in Table 17.

Notes
1. By interpreting DST2 to DST0, the host can synchronize to the input frame frequency, and also determine at which
moment which L3 data item is available to be read. The value of DST2 to DST0 is only valid if flag INSYNC is set.
a) DST2 is a modulo 2 frame counter, i.e. DST2 inverts at the moment the decoding of a new frame is started. DST2
enables to host to sample the decoding subprocess DST1 to DST0 less frequently, meanwhile enabling the host
to see if it missed a state.
b) DST1 and DST0 values are explained in Table 18.
2. INSYNC is synchronization indication:
a) INSYNC = 0; the SAA2501 is not synchronized to the input data.
b) INSYNC = 1; the SAA2501 is synchronized to the input data.
3. As indicated in Section 7.20.8, some of the readable data item bits only have significance if INSYNC = 1.
4. L3RDY is L3 interface ready indication:
a) L3RDY = 0; the L3 interface cannot perform a new item data transfer yet.
b) L3RDY = 1; the L3 interface is ready for the next item data transfer.
After a device reset, L3RDY is cleared and will only become set after writing the first L3 control byte to the SAA2501.
The value of L3RDY can be tested by polling signal L3DATA instead of transferring the whole status byte.

initiated by writing the corresponding type I control byte
(see Section 7.20.4) to the SAA2501. The transfer of every
subsequent item data byte must be preceded by reading
the status until status flag L3RDY (see Section 7.20.5) is
HIGH.
DATA ITEMS
Data can be transferred to or from the SAA2501 in data
items. This section describes the general protocol to
accomplish item data transfer, followed by the individual
SAA2501 data items. Optional enhancements on the
general protocol are described in Chapter 8 Section 8.2.
7.20.6.1
L3RDY may be tested alternatively by polling L3DATA,
avoiding the need to transfer the whole status byte. Status
polling is not required while transferring the APU
coefficients item. Table 20 shows an example of how
bytes ‘DDDDDDDD’ of a 2 byte data item, with the
corresponding control byte ‘CCCCCCCC’, can be read.
The writing of item data bytes occurs in a similar way.
General data items
The data items of the SAA2501 are transferred (i.e. read
or written, depending on whether the data item is of
readable or writeable type) in bytes. A data item transfer is

1. Explanation of bytes:
a) CCCCCCCC = control byte.
b) SSSSSSSS = status byte.
c) DDDDDDDD = data byte.
Each data item has its own length in bytes. It is allowed to transfer less bytes than the data item length, skipping the last
one or more bytes (it is even allowed to transfer no bytes at all). It is not allowed to transfer more bytes than the item
length. This restriction does not hold for the APU coefficient item. After writing all APU coefficients (i.e. after writing all
APU coefficient item bytes), they may be rewritten by continuing writing bytes to the APU coefficient item. Writing more
than the specified number of bytes to a writeable data item or writing bytes to a read-only data item may cause the
SAA2501 to malfunction. The reading of a write-only data item yields irrelevant data.

from the input bitstream and the header bytes used for the
actual decoding may be read.
The used frame header item is only valid if status flag

NOPR to 0 if settings bit CRCACT = 1, and overruling
detected errors.

b) DECFM = 1; the current frame is decoded normally.
3. SFnOK is invalid when decoding ISO/MPEG input data. When decoding EU147 input data:

data bitstream. The first item data byte is the last frame byte in the input bitstream. The Ancillary Data item is refilled at
every frame. The host must either know or determine itself how many of the Ancillary Data bytes are valid per frame. The
Ancillary Data item only has significance if status flag INSYNC is set.

item.
7.20.13 SPEED LIMITATIONS OF THE L3 INTERFACE
When reading the status of, or writing control bytes to the
SAA2501, no status polling is necessary, so the speed of
these transfers is only limited by the maximum frequency
of signal L3CLK and the timing constraints of the L3
protocol.
7.20.14 DEFAULT ITEM DATA VALUES AFTER RESET
At a device reset, the L3 interface initialization procedure
must be followed. All writeable data items are pre-loaded
with a defined default value after the device reset signal
has been de-activated. These default values are
summarized in Table 32.
When reading or writing data item bytes, status polling is
necessary. In addition to the speed limitation this poses,
the application must take precautions that individual data
item bytes are transferred at an interval of at least 200 µs.

information and operational details between a
microcontroller and a number of slave devices, at a rate
that exceeds other common interfaces, but with a sufficient
low complexity for application in consumer products. It
should be clearly noted that the current interface definition
is intended for use in a single apparatus, preferably
restricted to a single printed circuit-board.

Notes
1. L3MODE is used for the identification of the operation
mode.
2. L3CLK is the bit clock to which the information transfer
will be synchronized.
The new interface requires 3 signal lines (apart from a
return ‘ground’) between the microcontroller and the slave
devices (from this the name ‘L3’ is derived). These 3-lines
are common to all ICs connected to the bus: L3MODE,
L3DATA and L3CLK. L3MODE and L3CLK are always
driven by the microcontroller, L3DATA is bidirectional:

3. L3DATA will carry the information to be transferred.
All slave devices in the system can be addressed using a
6-bit address. This allows for up to 63 different slave
devices, as the all ‘0’ address is reserved for special
purposes. In addition it is possible to extend the number of
addressable devices using ‘extended addressing’.

During operation 2 modes can be identified:
1. Addressing mode (AM).
During addressing mode a single byte is sent by the microcontroller. This byte consists of 2 data operation mode
(DOM) bits and 6 operational address (OA) bits. Each of the slave devices evaluates the operational address. Only
the device that has been issued the same operational address will become active during the following data mode.
The operation to be executed during the data mode is indicated by the two data operation mode bits.
2. Data mode (DM).
During data mode information is transferred between microcontroller and slave device. The transfer direction may
be from microcontroller to slave (‘write’) or from slave to microcontroller (‘read’). However, during one data mode the
transfer direction cannot change.
8.1.1.1
Addressing mode
In order to start an addressing mode the microcontroller will make the L3MODE line LOW. The L3CLK line is put to the
LOW state 8 times and the DATA line will carry 8 bits. The addressing mode is ended by making the L3MODE line HIGH.

The meaning of the bits on L3DATA.
Bit 0 and bit 1; these are the data operation mode (DOM) bits that indicate the nature of the following data transfer. Each slave device may have
its own allocation of operation modes to the 4 possible codes of these bits. For correct information about the operation the device will perform, refer
to the descriptions of the individual ICs. For new designs the preferred allocations are given in Table 35.
Bit 2 to bit 7; these bits act as 6 bit (special function) operational IC address, with bit 7 as MSB and bit 2 as LSB. Bit 7 to bit 5 act as system
identification and bit 4 to bit 2 as identification of the device within the system.

to indicate clearly whether or not the ‘halt mode’ is
necessary for correct operation of the interface.
Operational address 000000 (bit 2 to bit 7) is the special
function address, and is used for the L3 device reset, as
well as for the declaration and invalidation of the extended
addressing. Both will be explained in Sections 8.1.2 and
8.1.3.
8.1.1.3
8.1.2
If the microcontroller sends an operational address
‘000000’ with DOM1 and DOM0 also equal to ‘0’ this
indicates that none of the L3 interface devices is allowed
to communicate with the microcontroller during the
following data mode. This enables a different application of
the L3CLK and L3DATA lines as the L3 devices will not
interfere with any communication on these lines as long as
L3MODE remains HIGH (e.g. the L3CLK and L3DATA
lines are normally connected to USART circuits in the
microcontrollers which allow for convenient
communication between microcontrollers).
Data mode
In the data mode (see Fig.17) the microcontroller sends or
receives information to or from the selected device. During
data transfer the L3MODE line is HIGH. The L3CLK line is
lowered 8 times during which the L3DATA line carries
8 bits. The information is presented LSB first and remains
stable during the LOW phase of the L3CLK signal.
The preferred basic data transfer unit is an 8 bit byte.
Some implementations that are modifications of earlier
circuits with 16 bit registers may use a basic unit of 16 bits,
transferred as 2 bytes, with the most significant byte
presented first. No other basic data transfer unit is allowed.
8.1.1.4
Any addressing mode with a valid L3 operational address
will re-enable the communication with the corresponding
device.
Devices with a fixed operational address (‘Primary L3
devices’) will react with a device reset condition regardless
of the state of DOM1 and DOM0.
Halt mode
In between units the L3MODE line will be driven LOW by
the microcontroller to indicate the completion of a basic
unit transfer. This is called ‘halt mode’ (HM). During halt
mode the L3CLK line remains HIGH (to distinguish it from
an addressing mode). The halt mode allows an
implementation of an interface module without a bit
counter. However, an implementation using a bit counter
in the interface module may allow for the L3MODE line to
be kept HIGH in between units (not using the halt mode).
Devices with a programmable operational address
(‘Secondary L3 devices’) can only be put in the interface
reset condition if the DOM1 and DOM0 bits are ‘0’. Other
combinations of DOM1 and DOM0 initiate data transfers
for ‘extended addressing’.
8.1.3
EXTENDED ADDRESSING
L3 Devices with a programmable address can be informed
of their operational address using a special data transfer.
This implementation must also operate correctly if the halt
mode is used. The documentation of the device will have

designs may have a range of identification codes, one of
which can be selected by a hardware solution, to enable
the connection of more than one device of the same
design to the L3 interface. It is also possible to use
separate L3MODE lines for multiple devices of the same
design, but the same L3 identification code (this also
enables ‘parallel programming’ of these devices). Bit 0 of
any identification code byte will indicate whether or not an
additional byte follows:
Operational address declaration
For the declaration (programming) of the operational
address of an L3 device with a ‘secondary L3 identification
code’ the following actions are required:
1. First the microcontroller must issue an L3 operational
address ‘000000’ (special function address) with
DOM1 = 0 and DOM0 = 1. This combination defines
the operational address declaration operation. Next
the microcontroller will start a data transfer mode in
which it first sends the secondary L3 identification
code for the device that is to be issued an operational
address, followed by a byte containing the operational
address (the DOM bits in this byte are don't cares).
Bit 0 = 0; no additional byte as part of the identification
code.
Bit 0 = 1; additional byte follows.
With this the number of secondary L3 identification codes
is (theoretically) unlimited.
2. Next the microcontroller will start a data transfer mode
in which it first sends the secondary L3 identification
code for the device that is to be issued an operational
address, followed by a byte containing the operational
address (the DOM bits in this byte are don't cares).
The operational address for the programmable device is
preferable in the range 111000 to 111111. However, it is
possible in a given application to issue any operational
address that is not used to address primary L3 devices or
other secondary L3 devices. An example is given in
Table 36.
A secondary L3 identification code is unique for any
design. Devices of the same design have the same
identification code of one or more bytes. However, special

8.1.3.2
Operational address invalidation
In order to re-allocate an operational address that has been allocated to a secondary L3 device it is possible to invalidate
an operational address:
• First the microcontroller must issue an L3 operational address ‘000000’ (special function address) with DOM1 = 1 and
DOM0 = 0. This combination defines the operational address invalidation operation.
• Next the microcontroller will start a data transfer mode in which it only sends the secondary L3 identification code for
the device that will no longer be addressed. From this moment on the device will not be able to communicate with the
microcontroller until it is issued a new operational address by an OA declaration (it will enter a ‘device interface reset’
condition).
Remark: the combination of a special function address (000000) and DOM1 and DOM0 equal to ‘1’ is reserved for future
applications. Designs based on this specification will react with a ‘device interface reset’.

make L3MODE LOW in between transfers. It is suggested
that new designs only use bytes as basic data transfer
units. After the data transfer the microcontroller does not
need to send a new address until a new data transfer is
necessary. Alternatively it may also send the ‘special
address’ 000000 to indicate the end of the data transfer
operation.
During the data transfer mode bytes will be sent from or to
the microcontroller. In this example the L3MODE line is
made LOW (‘halt mode’) in between byte transfers. This is
the default operation, although some ICs may allow the
L3MODE line to be kept HIGH. This exception must be
specified clearly in the IC documentation, and such ICs
must be able to communicate with microcontrollers that

the status byte can be transferred. To avoid these status
byte transfers (thus reducing the host's load), after writing
the SAA2501 ‘read status’ operational address, L3RDY is
continuously copied to signal L3DATA during the period in
which no L3 transfers (i.e. status byte readings) are
performed. Meanwhile, L3MODE must be kept HIGH (no
L3 operational addresses may be written). As a result,
L3RDY can be tested as shown in Table 40.
SAA2501 L3 protocol enhancement options
The L3 interface on the SAA2501 is limited in speed,
dictated both by the maximum SAA2501 handling speed
and the upper frequencies of the L3 interfacing standard.
On the other hand, the SAA2501 offers several
enhancements to make a better use of the SAA2501 L3
interface capacity. The enhancements are optional. The
applicant chooses whether to use them or not.
8.2.1
TESTING L3RDY BY POLLING L3DATA
The host must test status flag L3RDY to make sure
whether the SAA2501 L3 interface is ready to transfer data
item bytes. According to the general protocol, described in
Section 7.20.6, the status is read by first writing the
SAA2501 ‘read status’ operational address, after which

8.2.2
OPTIONS TO INCREASE THE TIMING ACCURACY OF
APU COEFFICIENT WRITING
THE
The SAA2501 offers three enhancements to increase the
timing accuracy with which APU coefficients can be
updated by the application:
1. Status polling is not required when APU coefficients
are written. L3 status flag L3RDY, when read anyhow,
will always be HIGH, indicating that the next APU
coefficient transfer may be done. The transfer speed is
only limited by the maximum allowed frequency of
L3CLK. As a result, also no ‘write item data’
operational address is needed any more before writing
each APU coefficient index.
2. Normally, no more bytes may be written to a writeable
data item than the length of that specific item. An
exception is formed by the APU coefficients. They may
be written continuously with a coefficient wrap. After
the writing of all 4 coefficients, the writing can be
continued at the first APU coefficient without having to
write a new control byte.
3. The data item transfer protocol, described in
Section 7.20.6, although transparent, allows only for
the reading or writing of data items from their first data
byte onwards. This approach can lead to situations
where e.g. 54 Ancillary Data item bytes must all be
read (which takes at least 54 × 200 µs = 10.8 ms, due
to the interface speed limitations: see Section 7.20.6)
before the next data item can be transferred. The
SAA2501 enables the writing of APU coefficients
without having to wait for the current item transfer to
finish. In order to do so, a running transfer can be
interrupted by an APU coefficient write transfer, and
then be resumed with the ‘continue current transfer’
control byte.
An item transfer may be interrupted at any time to write
APU coefficients. After the ‘continue previous transfer’
control byte, a operational address must always follow,
indicating the type of L3 transfer that will follow. An
APU coefficient write transfer itself cannot be
interrupted.

applied to the substrate by screen printing, stencilling or
pressure-syringe dispensing before device placement.
14 SOLDERING
14.1
14.1.1
Plastic quad flat-packs
Several techniques exist for reflowing; for example,
thermal conduction by heated belt, infrared, and
vapour-phase reflow. Dwell times vary between 50 and
300 s according to method. Typical reflow temperatures
range from 215 to 250 °C.
BY WAVE
During placement and before soldering, the component
must be fixed with a droplet of adhesive. After curing the
adhesive, the component can be soldered. The adhesive
can be applied by screen printing, pin transfer or syringe
dispensing.
Preheating is necessary to dry the paste and evaporate
the binding agent. Preheating duration: 45 min at 45 °C.
Maximum permissible solder temperature is 260 °C, and
maximum duration of package immersion in solder bath is
10 s, if allowed to cool to less than 150 °C within 6 s.
Typical dwell time is 4 s at 250 °C.
14.1.3
REPAIRING SOLDERED JOINTS (BY HAND-HELD
SOLDERING IRON OR PULSE-HEATED SOLDER TOOL)
Fix the component by first soldering two, diagonally
opposite, end pins. Apply the heating tool to the flat part of
the pin only. Contact time must be limited to 10 s at up to
300 °C. When using proper tools, all other pins can be
soldered in one operation within 2 to 5 s at between 270
and 320 °C. (Pulse-heated soldering is not recommended
for SO packages.)
A modified wave soldering technique is recommended
using two solder waves (dual-wave), in which a turbulent
wave with high upward pressure is followed by a smooth
laminar wave. Using a mildly-activated flux eliminates the
need for removal of corrosive residues in most
applications.
14.1.2
SAA2501
For pulse-heated solder tool (resistance) soldering of VSO
packages, solder is applied to the substrate by dipping or
by an extra thick tin/lead plating before package
placement.
BY SOLDER PASTE REFLOW
Reflow soldering requires the solder paste (a suspension
of fine solder particles, flux and binding agent) to be
