7. High Definition Audio Link Protocol  
7.1. Link Signals  
The High Definition Audio (HDA) link is the digital serial interface that connects the HDA codecs to the  
HDA Controller. The HDA link protocol is controller synchronous, based on a 24.0MHz BIT-CLK sent  
by the HDA controller. The input and output streams, including command and PCM data, are isochronous  
with a 48kHz frame rate. Figure 4 shows the basic concept of the HDA link protocol.

7.1.2. Signaling Topology  
The HDA controller supports two SDOs for the outbound stream, up to 15 SDIs for the inbound stream.  
RST#, BCLK, SYNC, SDO0, and SDO1 are driven by controller to codecs. Each codec drives its own  
point-to-point SDI signal(s) to the controller.  
Figure 6 shows the possible connections between the HDA controller and codecs:  
Codec 0 is a basic connection. There is one single SDO and one single SDI for normal transmission  
Codec 1 has two SDOs for doubled outbound rate, a single SDI for normal inbound rate  
Codec 3 supports a single SDO for normal outbound rate, and two SDIs for doubled inbound rate  
Codec N has two SDOs and multiple SDIs  
The multiple SDOs and multiple SDIs are used to expand the transmission rate between controller and  
codecs. Section 7.2 Frame Composition, page 14 describes the detailed outbound and inbound stream  
compositions for single and multiple SDOs/SDIs.  
The connections shown in Figure 6 can be implemented concurrently in an HDA system. The  
ALC888S-VD is designed to receive a single SDO stream.

7.2. Frame Composition  
7.2.1. Outbound Frame – Single SDO  
An outbound frame is composed of one 32-bit command stream and multiple data streams. There are one  
or multiple sample blocks in a data stream. Only one sample block exists in a stream if the HDA  
controller delivers a 48kHz rate of samples to the codec. Multiple sample blocks in a stream means the  
sample rate is a multiple of 48kHz. This means there should be two blocks in the same stream to carry  
96kHz samples (Figure 7).  
For outbound frames, the stream tag is not in SDO, but in the SYNC signal. A new data stream is started  
at the end of the stream tag. The stream tag includes a 4-bit preamble and 4-bit stream ID (Figure 8).  
To keep the cadence of converters bound to the same stream, samples for these converters must be placed  
in the same block.

7.2.2. Outbound Frame – Multiple SDOs  
The HDA controller allows two SDO signals to be used to stripe outbound data, completing transmission  
in less time to get more bandwidth. If software determines the target codec supports multiple SDO  
capability, it enables the ‘Stripe Control’ bit in the controller’s Output Stream Control Register to initiate  
a specific stream (Stream ‘A’ in Figure 9) to be transmitted on multiple SDOs. In this case, the MSB of  
the data stream is always carried on SDO0, the second bit on SDO1 and so forth.  
SDO1 is for transmitting a striped stream. The codec does not support multiple SDOs connected to  
SDO0.  
To guarantee all codecs can determine their corresponding stream, the command stream is not striped. It  
is always transmitted on SDO0, and copied on SDO1.

7.2.3. Inbound Frame – Single SDI  
An Inbound Frame – A single SDI is composed of one 36-bit response stream and multiple data streams.  
Except for the initialization sequence (turnaround and address frame), the SDI is driven by the codec at  
each rising edge of BCLK. The controller also samples data at the rising edge of BCLK.  
The SDI stream tag is not carried by SYNC, but included in the SDI. A complete SDI data stream  
includes one 4-bit stream tag, one 6-bit data length, and n-bit sample blocks. Zeros will be padded if the  
total length of the contiguous sample blocks within a given stream is not of integral byte length (Figure  
11).

7.2.4. Inbound Frame – Multiple SDIs  
A codec can deliver data to the controller on multiple SDIs to achieve higher bandwidth. If an inbound  
stream exceeds the data transfer limits of a single SDI, the codec can divide the data into separate SDI  
signals, each of which operate independently, with different stream numbers at the same frame time. This  
is similar to having multiple codecs connected to the controller. The controller samples the divided stream  
into separate memory with multiple DMA descriptors, then software re-combines the divided data into a  
meaningful stream.

7.2.5. Variable Sample Rates  
The HDA link is designed for sample rates of 48kHz. Variable rates of sample are delivered in multiple or  
sub-multiple rates of 48kHz. Two sample blocks per frame result in a 96kHz delivery rate, one sample  
block over two frames results in a 24kHz delivery rate. The HDA specification states that the sample rate  
of the outbound stream be synchronized by the controller, not by the codec. Each stream has its own  
sample rate, independent of any other stream.  
The HDA controller supports 48kHz and 44.1kHz base rates. Table 5, page 18, shows the recommended  
sample rates based on multiples or sub-multiples of one of the two base rates.  
Rates in sub-multiples (1/n) of 48kHz are interleaving n frames containing no sample blocks. Rates in  
multiples (n) of 48kHz contain n sample blocks in a frame. Table 6, page 18, shows the delivery cadence  
of variable rates based on 48kHz.  
The HDA link is defined to operate at a fixed 48kHz frame rate. To deliver samples in (sub) multiple  
rates of 44.1kHz, an appropriate ratio between 44.1kHz and 48kHz must be maintained to avoid  
frequency drift. The appropriate ratio between 44.1kHz and 48kHz is 147/160. Meaning 147 sample  
blocks are transmitted every 160 frames.

The cadence ‘12-11-11-12-11-11-12-11-11-12-11-11-11- (repeat)’ interleaves 13 frames containing no  
sample blocks in every 160 frames. It provides a low long-term frequency drift for 44.1kHz of delivery  
rate. Rates in sub-multiples (1/n) of 44.1kHz also follow this cadence AND interleave n empty frames.  
Rates in multiples (n) of 44.1kHz applying this cadence contain n sample blocks in the non-empty frame  
AND interleave an empty frame between non-empty frames (Table 7, page 19).

7.3. Reset and Initialization  
There are two types of reset within an HDA link:  
Link Reset. Generated by assertion of the RST# signal, all codecs return to their power on state  
Codec Reset. Generated by software directing a command to reset a specific codec back to its default  
state  
An initialization sequence is requested after any of the following three events:  
Link Reset  
Codec Reset  
Codec changes its power state (for example, hot docking a codec to an HDA system)  
7.3.1. Link Reset  
A link reset may be caused by 3 events:  
1. The HDA controller asserts RST# for any reason (power up, or PCI reset)  
2. Software initiates a link reset via the ‘CRST’ bit in the Global Control Register (GCR) of the HDA  
controller  
3. Software initiates power management sequences. Figure 13, shows the ‘Link Reset’ timing including  
the ‘Enter’ sequence (n~r) and ‘Exit’ sequence (s~v)  
Enter ‘Link Reset’:  
n Software writes a 0 to the ‘CRST’ bit in the Global Control Register of the HDA controller to initiate a  
link reset  
o When the controller completes the current frame, it does not signal the normal 8-bit frame SYNC at  
the end of the frame  
p The controller drives SYNC and all SDOs to low. Codecs also drive SDIs to low  
q The controller asserts the RST# signal to low, and enters the ‘Link Reset’ state  
r All link signals driven by controller and codecs should be tri-state by internal pull low resistors

Exit from ‘Link Reset’:  
s If BCLK is re-started for any reason (codec wake-up event, power management, etc.)  
t Software is responsible for de-asserting RST# after a minimum of 100µs BCLK running time (the  
100µsec provides time for the codec PLL to stabilize)  
u Minimum of 4 BCLK after RST# is de-asserted, the controller starts to signal normal frame SYNC  
v When the codec drives its SDI to request an initialization sequence (when the SDI is driven high at the  
last bit of frame SYNC, it means the codec requests an initialization sequence)

Datasheet  
7.4.2. Response Format  
There are two types of response from the codec to the controller. Solicited Responses are returned by the  
codec in response to a current command verb. The codec will send Solicited Response data in the next  
frame, without regard to the Set (Write) or Get (Read) command. The 32-bit Response is interpreted by  
software, opaque to the controller.  
Unsolicited Responses are sent by the codec independently of software requests. Jack Detection or GPI  
status information can be actively delivered to the controller and interpreted by software. The ‘Tag’ in  
Bit[31:28] is used to identify unsolicited events. This tag is undefined in the HDA specifications.

Note: The response stream in the link protocol is 36-bit wide. The response is placed in the lower 32-bit field. Bit 35 is a  
Validbit to indicate the response is ‘Ready’. Bit 34 is set to indicate that an unsolicited response was sent.  
7.5. Power Management  
All power management state changes in widgets are driven by software. Table 14 shows the System  
Power State Definitions. To simplify power management in the ALC888S-VD, only the Audio Function  
(NID=01h) supports power control. Output converters (DACs) and input converters (ADCs) have no  
individual power control. Software can configure whole codec power states through the audio function  
(NID=01h). Software may have various power states depending on system configuration.  
Table 15 indicates those nodes that support power management.

Frequency Divider, F[7:0].  
The internal BEEP frequency is the result of dividing the 48kHz clock by 4 times the number specified in  
F[7:0].  
The lowest tone is 48kHz/(255×4)=47Hz.  
The highest tone is 48kHz/(1×4)=12kHz.  
A value of 00h in F[7:0] disables the internal BEEP generator and allows external PCBEEP input.

11. Application Supplements  
11.1. Standby Mode  
In standby mode the ALC888S-VD turns on DC bias on all analog input and output ports  
(NID=14h~1Bh). This is a special application to avoid ‘Pop’ noise while the system is in power on and  
power off transition stages.  
Table 89 shows the DC bias state when Standby mode is enabled.

Datasheet  
11.2. Digital Microphone Implementation  
This section describes the ALC888S-VD digital microphone implementation. There is one Clock output  
pin and 1 Data input pin in the ALC888S-VD. The ALC888S-VD provides the clock signal to the digital  
microphone. When the digital microphone receives the external sound input, it converts the analog signals  
to digital in a 1-bit format. The 1-bit data is delivered to the codec though the data input pin. The Digital  
Filter in the audio codec converts the 1-bit data stream into Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) data. The  
PCM data is sent to the HDA controller through the HDA link.  
Figure 22. Digital Microphone Implementation  
The ALC888S-VD supports a two-wire interface for the digital microphone and operates in  
single-channel (mono type) or stereo-channel mode. One pin is clock output to the digital microphone,  
and the other is a serial pin. The default clock output is 2.048MHz.  
The ALC888S-VD uses one data pin to support stereo inputs from various digital microphones and  
microphone module. Popular digital microphones provided from Fortemedia, Akustica, Knowles, and  
Hosiden are supported. Please contact Realtek and your digital microphone vendor to get the best  
compatibility between the ALC888S-VD and various digital microphones.
