VS1001k is a single-chip solution for an MPEG
layer 3 audio decoder. The chip contains a highperformance low-power DSP processor (VS DSP),
working memory, 4 KiB program RAM and 0.5
KiB data RAM for user applications, serial control and input data interfaces, and a high-quality
oversampling variable-sample-rate stereo DAC, followed by an earphone amplifier and a ground buffer.
VS1001k receives its input bitstream through a
serial input bus, which it listens to as a system
slave. The input stream is decoded and passed
through a analog/digital hybrid volume control to
an 18-bit oversampling multi-bit sigma-delta DAC.
The decoding is controlled via a serial control bus.
In addition to the basic decoding, it is possible to
add application specific features, like DSP effects,
to the user RAM memory.

SPI Buses
6.1
General
The SPI Bus - that was originally used in some Motorola devices - has been used for both VS1001k’s
Serial Data Interface SDI (Chapters 6.3 and 7.3) and Serial Control Interface SCI (Chapters 6.4 and 7.4).

Description
Active low chip select input. A high level forces the serial interface into
standby mode, ending the current operation. A high level also forces serial
output (SO) to high impedance state. There is no chip select for SDI, which
is always active.
Serial clock input. The serial clock is also used internally as the master
clock for the register interface.
SCK can be gated or continuous. In either case, the first rising clock edge
after XCS has gone low marks the first bit to be written (clock 0 in the
following figures).
Serial input. SI is sampled on the rising SCK edge, if XCS is low.
Serial output. In reads, data is shifted out on the falling SCK edge.
In writes SO is at a high impedance state.
Serial Protocol for Serial Data Interface (SDI)
The serial data interface can operate in either master or slave mode. In master mode, VS1001k generates
the DCLK signal, which can be selected to be either 512 or 1024 kHz. In slave mode, the DCLK signal
is generated by an external circuit.
The data (SDATA signal) can be clocked in at either the rising or falling edge of the DCLK. (Chapter 7.5).
The VS1001k chip assumes its input to be byte-sychronized. I.e. the internal operation of the decoder
does not search for byte synchronization of the frames from the data stream, but instead assumes the
data to be correctly byte-aligned. The bytes can be transmitted either MSB or LSB first, depending of
contents of SCI register MODE (Chapter 7.5).

Solution
VS1001 K
6. SPI BUSES
The first DCLK sampling edge (rising or falling, depending on selected polarity), during which the
BSYNC is high, marks the first bit of a byte (LSB, if LSB-first order is used, MSB, if MSB-first order
is used). If BSYNC is not used, it must be tied to VCC externally and the master of the input serial
interface must always sustain the correct byte-alignment. Using BSYNC is strongly recommended. For
more details, look at the Application Notes for VS10XX.
The DREQ signal of the data interface is used in slave mode to signal if VS1001k’s FIFO is capable of
receiving more input data. If DREQ is high, VS1001k can take at least 32 bytes of data. When there is
less than 32 bytes of free space, DREQ is turned low, and the sender should stop transferring new data.
Because of the 32-byte safety area, the sender may send upto 32 bytes of data at a time without checking
the status of DREQ, making controlling VS1001k easier for low-speed microcontrollers.
Note: DREQ may turn low or high at any time, even during a byte transmission. Thus, DREQ should
only be used to decide whether to send more bytes. It should not abort a transmission that has already
started.

6.4.1
Serial Protocol for Serial Command Interface (SCI)
General
The serial bus protocol for the Serial Command Interface SCI (Chapter 7.4) consists of an instruction
byte, address byte and one 16-bit data word. Each read or write operation can read or write a single
register. Data bits are read at the rising edge, so the user should not update data at the rising edge.
The operation is specified by an 8-bit instruction opcode. The supported instructions are read and write.
See table below.
Name
READ
WRITE
Instruction
Opcode
Operation
0000 0011 Read data
0000 0010 Write data
Note: After using the Serial Command Interface, it is not allowed to send SCI or SDI data for 5 microseconds.
6.4.2
SCI Read
VS1001k registers are read by the following sequence. First, XCS line is pulled low to select the device.
Then the READ opcode (0x3) is transmitted via the SI line followed by an 8-bit word address. After the
address has been read in, any further data on SI is ignored. The 16-bit data corresponding to the received
address will be shifted out onto the SO line.
XCS should be driven high after the data has been shifted out. In that case, the word address will be
incremented and data corresponding to the next address will be shifted out. After the last word has been
shifted out, XCS should be driven high to end the READ sequence.

After the word has been shifted in, XCS should be pulled high to end the WRITE sequence. XCS low to

7.1
Main Features
VS1001k is based on a proprietary digital signal processor, VS DSP. It contains all the code and data
memory needed for MPEG audio decoding, together with serial interfaces, a multirate stereo audio DAC
and analog output amplifiers and filters.
VS1001k can play all MPEG 1 and 2 layer 3 files, as well as so-called MPEG 2.5 layer 3 extension
files with all sample rates and bitrates. In addition, variable bitrate (VBR) is also supported. With
VBR, and depending on the song, near-cd quality can be achieved with approximately 100 kbits/s for
stereo music sampled at 44100 Hz, whereas old encoders required 128 kbits/s for the same task. As
both commercial and free (http://www.mp3dev.org/) high-quality VBR encoders are nowadays widely
available, MP3 format is getting better as it is maturing.

Figure 10: Data Flow of VS1001k.
First, MP3 data is input through the SDI bus.
After decoding, data may be sent to the Bass/treble enhancer depending on SCI register MODE’s bit
SM BASS.
Then, if SCI register AIADDR is non-zero, application code is executed from the address pointed to by
AIADDR. For more details, see Chapters 7.5.10 and Application Notes for VS10XX.
After the optional user application, the signal is fed to the volume control unit, which also copies the
data to the Audio FIFO.
The Audio FIFO holds the data that is read by the Audio interrupt (Chapter 9.5.1) and fed to the sample
rate converter and DACs. The size of the audio FIFO is 512 stereo (2×16-bit) samples
The sample rate converter converts all different sample rates to CLKI/512 and feeds the data to the DAC,
which in order makes a stereo in-phase signal. This signal is then forwarded to the earphone amplifier.

When SM DIFF is set, the player inverts the left output. For a stereo input, this creates a virtual surround,
and for a mono input this effectively creates a differential left/right signal.
By setting SM FFWD the player starts to accept SCI data at a high speed, and just decodes the audio
headers silently without playing any data. This can be used to fast-forward data with safe landing.
Register DECODE TIME is updated during a fast-forward just as normal.
By setting SM RESET to 1, the player is reset.
SM UNUSED1 should always be set to 0.
Bit SM PDOWN overrides any other: it turns VS1001k into powerdown mode, where the only operational part is the control bus.
SM UNUSED2 and SM UNUSED3 should always be set to 0.
Bit SM BASS turns on the built-in Bass and Treble enhancer. The frequency response of the enhancer
when the sample rate is 44.1 kHz is shown in Figure 11. For other sample frequencies the response
frequence axis must be adjusted accordingly. Example: If the sample rate is 48 kHz, the 1 kHz frequency
in the figure is actually 1 kHz × 48 kHz / 44.1 kHz = 1.09 kHz. For details of how much extra processing

CLOCKF is used to tell if the input clock XTALI is running at something else than 24.576 MHz. XTALI
is set in 2 kHz steps. Thus, the formula for calculating the correct value for this register is XT ALI/2000
(XTALI is in Hz). Values may be between 0..32767, although hardware limits the highest allowed speed.
Also, with lower-than 24.576 MHz speeds all sample rates and bit-stream widths are no longer available.
Setting the MSB of CLOCKF to 1 activates internal clock-doubling. A clock of upto 15 MHz may be
doubled depending on the voltage provided to the chip.
Note: CLOCKF must be set before beginning decoding MP3 data; otherwise the sample rate will not be
set correctly.
Example 1: For a 26 MHz clock the value would be 26000000/2000 = 13000.
Example 2: For a 13 MHz external clock and using internal clock-doubling for a 26 MHz internal
frequency, the value would be 0x8000 + (13000000/2000) = 39268.
Example 3: For a 24.576 MHz clock the value would be either 24576000/2000 = 12288, or just the
default value 0. For this clock frequency, CLOCKF doesn’t need to be set at all.

WRAM (W)
WRAM is used to upload application programs to program RAM. The start address must be initialized
by writing to the WRAMADDR register prior to the first call of WRAM. value will be used. As 16 bits of
data can be transferred with one WRAM write, and the program word is 32 bits, two consecutive writes
are needed for each program word. The byte order is big-endian (i.e. MSBs first). After each full-word
write, the internal pointer is autoincremented.
7.5.8
WRAMADDR (W)
WRAMADDR is used to set the program address for following WRAM writes. User program space is
between addresses 0x4000 .. 0x43ff (with addresses 0x4000 .. 0x401f being reserved by the system),
but for writes through the WRAM mechanism, they are visible at addresses 0x4000 higher. Thus, if the
programmer wish to write his application to address 0x4167, he should write 0x4167 + 0x4000 = 0x8167
to WRAMADDR.

When read, HDAT0 and HDAT1 contain header information that is extracted from MPEG stream being
currently being decoded. Right after resetting VS1001k, 0 is automatically written to both registers,
indicating no data has been found yet.
The “sample rate” field in HDAT0 is interpreted as follows: if the “ID” field in HDAT1 is ’1’, the highest
sample rate is used. If “ID” is ’0’, half sample rate is used. For ’2’ and ’3’, the lowest sample rate is
used.
Note: The sample rate, stereo/mono and bitrate information can more easily be read from register AUDATA.

7. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
AIADDR (RW)
AIADDR indicates the start address of the application code written earlier through WRAMADDR and
WRAM registers. If no application code is used, this register should not be initialized, or it should be
initialized to zero. For more details, see Application Notes for VS10XX.
7.5.11
VOL (RW)
VOL is a volume control for the player hardware. For each channel, a value in the range of 0 .. 255
may be defined to set its attenuation from the maximum volume level (in 0.5 dB steps). The left channel
value is then multiplied by 256 and the values are added. Thus, maximum volume is 0 and total silence if
65535. Example: for a volume of -2.0 dB for the left channel and -3.5 dB for the right channel: (4*256)
+ 7 = 1031. Note, that at startup volume is set to full volume. Resetting the software does not reset the
volume setting.
Note: Setting the volume to total silence (255 for both left and right channels), will turn analog power
off. This will save power, but also cause a slight snap in the earphones. If you want to turn the volume
off but don’t want this snap, turn the volume only to 254 for both channels (0xFEFE).

This register has been reserved for future use.
7.5.13
AICTRL[x] (RW)
AICTRL[x] -registers ( x=[0 .. 1] ) can be used to access the user’s application program.
7.6
Stereo Audio DAC
The decoded digital data is transformed into analog format by an 18-bit oversampling multi-bit sigmadelta DA-converter. The oversampled output is low-pass filtered by an on-chip analog filter. The output
rate of the DA-converter is always 1/4 of the clock rate, or 128 times the highest usable sample rate. For
instance for a 24.576 MHz clock, the DA-converter operates at 128x48 kHz, which is 6.144 MHz. If the
input sample rate is other than 48 kHz, it is internally converted to 48 kHz by the DAC. This removes the
need for complex PLL-based clocking schemes and still allows the use of several sample rates with one
fixed master clock frequency.
The outputs can be separately muted by the user. If the output of the decoder is invalid or input data is
not received fast enough, analog outputs are automatically muted. The analog outputs have buffers that
are capable of driving 30Ω loads with a maximum of 50nF capacitance.

8. OPERATION
Operation
8.1
Clocking
The VS1001k chip operates typically on a single 24.576 MHz fundamental frequency master clock. This
clock can be generated by external circuitry (connected to pin XTALI) or by the internal clock chrystal
interface (pins XTALI and XTALO). This clock is sufficient to support a high quality audio output for
almost all the standard sample rates and bit-rates (see Application Notes for VS10XX).
Note: Oscillators above 24.576 MHz are usually so-called 3rd harmonic clocks, which have a fundamental frequency of 1/3 of the nominal clock frequency. With such an oscillator, VS1001 would be running at
the base frequency, if working at all. Thus, for instance, if you run VS1001 with a 32 MHz 3rd harmonic
clock, you usually end up running the chip at 32 MHz / 3 = 10.67 MHz.
8.2 Powerdown
In powerdown mode the chip only monitors the control bus. The analog output drivers are turned off and
the processor remains in hold-state.
8.3 Hardware Reset
When the XRESET -signal is driven low, VS1001k is reset and all the control registers and internal
states are set to the initial values. XRESET-signal is asynchronous to any external clock. The reset mode
doubles as a full-powerdown mode, where both digital and analog parts of VS1001k are in minimum
power consumption stage, and where clocks are stopped. Also XTALO and XTALI are grounded.
After a hardware reset (or at power-up), set the basic software registers such as VOL for volume (and
CLOCKF if the input clock is anything else than 24.576 MHz) before starting decoding.
8.4 Software Reset
Between any two MP3 files, the decoder software has to be reset. This is done by activating bit 2 in SCI’s
MODE register (Chapter 7.5.1). Then wait for at least 2 µs, then look at DREQ. DREQ will stay down
for at least 6000 clock cycles, which means an approximate 250 µs delay if VS1001k is run at 24.576
MHz. When DREQ goes up, write at least one zero to SDI. After this, you may continue playback as
usual.
If you want to make sure VS1001k doesn’t cut the ending of low-bitrate data streams, it is recommended
to feed 2048 zeros to the SDI bus before activating the reset bit (DREQ must be respected just as with
normal SDI data). This will make sure all frames have been decoded before resetting the chip.

8. OPERATION
Play/Decode
This is the normal operation mode of VS1001k. The SDI data is decoded. Decoded samples are converted
to analog domain by the internal DAC, If there are errors in the decoding process, the error flags of SCI’s
HDAT0 and HDAT1 are set accordingly. In case there are serious errors in the input data, decoding is
still continued, but the analog outputs are muted.
When there is no valid input for decoding, VS1001k goes into idle mode (lower power consumption than
during decoding) and actively monitors the serial data input for valid data. The data input does not need
to be clocked (DCLK) when no data is sent.
The software needs to be reset between MPEG audio stream files. See for the Chapter “Testing” to see
how it is done.
8.6
Sanity Checks
Although VS1001k checks extensively for bad MP3 streams, it may happen that it encounters a bitstream
that makes the firmware’s recovery code fail. This may particularly happen during fast forward and fast
backwards operations, where the data where the microcontroller lands the MP3 decoder may not be a
valid header.
The microcontroller should keep a look at the data speeds VS1001k requires. If data input either stops
completely (DREQ always inactive) for a whole second, or if VS1001k requires more than 60 KiB data
in any single second, it is the responsibility of the microcontroller to either reset the software. If that
doesn’t help, a hardware reset should be issued.
8.7
PCM Mode
VS1001k can be used as a Digital-to-Analog converter (DAC) by feeding PCM data. A convenient way
to use VS1001k as a DAC is to load SDI PCM Extension for VS1001k software from VLSI Solution’s
home page at http://www.vlsi.fi/vs1001/software/.
The SDI PCM Extension makes it possible for the user to use SDI to feed 8-bit or 16-bit PCM samples
in mono or stereo at any sample rate upto 48 kHz (with nominal 24.576 MHz operating frequency).
8.8 Testing
There are several test modes in VS1001k, which allow the user to perform memory tests, SCI bus tests,
and several different sine wave tests ranging from 250 Hz to 1500 Hz.
All tests are started in a similar way: VS1001 is hardware reset, and then a test command is sent to the
SDI bus. Each test is started by sending a 4-byte special command sequence, followed by 4 zeros. The
sequences are described below.

Example: Sine test is called with a test value of 62. 62-48 = 14, FsIdx = 5 and FSin = 1. From the tables
we get the sample rate 16000 Hz, and the sine wave length, which is 16 samples. Thus, we’ll get a 1 kHz
voice.
To exit the sine test, send the sequence 0x45 0x78 0x69 0x74 0 0 0 0.
Note: The sine test signals go through the digital volume control, so it is possible to test channels
separately.

When to Write Software
User software is required when a user wishes to add some own functionality like DSP effects or tone
controls to VS1001k. Some tone controls are available from VLSI Solution, but if a user wishes to go
further than that or use VS1001k in some unexpected way, this is how to do it.
However, most of the users of VS1001k don’t need to worry about writing their own code, or this chapter.

The Processor Core
VS DSP is a 16/32-bit DSP processor core that can very well also be used as an all-purpose processor.
The VLSI Solution’s free VSKIT Software Package contains all the tools and documentation needed to

DAC data should be written at each audio interrupt to DAC LEFT (0x4200) and DAC RIGHT (0x4201)
as signed values. INT FCTLL (0x4202) is not a user-serviceable register.
9.4.4
Interrupt Registers, 0x4300
INT ENABLE (0x4300) controls the interrupts. Bit 0 switches the DAC interrupt on (1) and off (0), bit 1
controls the SCI interrupt, and bit 2 controls the DATA interrupt. It may take upto 6 clock cycles before
changing this register has any effect.
By writing any value to INT GLOB DIS (0x4301) adds one to the interrupt counter and effectively
disables all interrupts. It may take upto 6 clock cycles before writing this register has any effect.
Writing any value to INT GLOB ENA (0x4302) subtracts one from the interrupt counter. If the interrupt
counter becomes zero, interrupts selected with INT ENABLE are restored. An interrupt routine should
always write to this register as the last thing it does, because interrupts automatically add one to the
interrupt counter, but subtracting it back to its initial value is on the responsibility of the user. It may take
upto 6 clock cycles before writing this register has any effect.
By reading INT COUNTER (0x4303) the user may check if the interrupt counter is correct or not. If the
register is not 0, interrupts are disabled. This register may not be written to.

If the user wants to take control away from the standard decoder, the first instruction should be replaced
with an appropriate jump command to user’s own code.
Unless the user is feeding MP3 data at the same time, the system activates the user program in less than

This is the only supported way to write to the User Instruction RAM. This is because Instruction RAM
cannot be written when program control is in RAM. Thus, the actual implementation of this function is
in ROM, and here is simply a tag to that routine.
Note: Instruction RAM is shadowed 0x4000 addresses higher in the X and Y RAMs. Thus, if you want
to write to instruction address 0x4020, addr must be 0x4020 + 0x4000 = 0x8020.

A1 contains the MSBs and a0 the LSBs of the result.
Note: Instruction RAM is shadowed 0x4000 addresses higher in the X and Y RAMs. Thus, if you want

Changes Between VS1001h and Production Version VS1001k, 2001-08
• When the chip is reset with pin XRESET, XTALO and XTALI are driven to ground.
• Running with normal clock earlier required slightly different clock generation than for clockdoubled (see Chapters 4 and 5). This is no longer the case.
• Lots of new SCI register MODE bits: SM DIFF, SM FFWD, SM BASS. For details, see Chapter 7.5.1.
• Default is now to only decode MP3.
• 20..60 mV DAC offset corrected.
• A firmware bug made it impossible to decode 320 kbits/s MP3 data. This has been corrected.
• A hardware bug made it practically impossible to load code to RAM. This has been corrected.
10.2
Changes Between VS1001g and VS1001h, 2001-05
• Analog voltage requirements have been lowered. Now full gain can be achieved with a 2.7 V
analog input voltage, whereas 3.4 V was needed before.
10.3
Changes Between VS1001d to VS1001g, 2001-03
• Clock is now adjustable, in VS1001d only 24.576 MHz could be used.
• Clock doubler added.
• VS1001d played 48 kHz instead of 12 or 24 kHz, this is corrected.
