FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
True Hardware Acceleration
The ThunderBird PCI
TM
products are true hardware accelerators. Positional 3D, music synthesis and SoundBlaster
TM
functions are performed on the ActiMedia
TM
DSP which frees the host CPU to perform other tasks, boosting graphic
frame rates and raising system benchmark performance.
High Concurrency
Today's multimedia applications demand concurrent, independent audio processing of many diverse audio streams.
Mainstream applications may require 32 or more wavetable synthesis voices and 24 or more sound effects positioned
in 3D space concurrently with other audio stream processing. The ThunderBird Q3D
TM
can simultaneously process 64
combined audio and wavetable voice streams in H/W plus an additional 64 audio streams using QSound's efficient
MMX host engine for a total of 128 audio and wavetable streams. For greater concurrency and higher music polyphony
a professional quality 256 voice soft-synth is available. This can be used for all music synthesis reserving all 128
streams for other audio sources bringing the total concurrency to 384 streams.
Immersive 3D Audio
The ThunderBird Q3D
TM
is armed with the most advanced arsenal of 3D technology available. The listener is immersed
in a realistic 3 dimensional soundscape. QSound's technology renders 3D applications using stereo speakers,
headphones or quad speakers; and transforms ordinary stereo applications from games to CD players into 3D and
quad applications.
QInteractive3D
TM
(QI3D
TM
) utilizes the ActiMedia DSP to interactively position DirectSound streams in 3D space
around the listener. Three different 3D engines based on HRTF and patented QSound Technology are used to render
over 2 speakers, headphones or quad speakers. Since the unique 2 speaker engine requires no signal cross
cancellation, QI3D provides a more robust 3D imaging than ordinary HRTF processing with minimal sensitivity to
speaker placement, speaker quality and listener location. QI3D utilizes the industry standard DirectSound3D API and
is compatible with DirectSound3D and A3D
TM
applications.
QSound Environmental Modeling
TM
(QEM
TM
) adds further realism by using reverb as an additional positional que. With
QEM enabled each DirectSound3D sound source receives reverb simulating acoustic reflections based on the regions
reverb preset and the sources current position relative to the listener. Reverb presets can also me manually enabled by
the listener for DirectSound3D applications that do not support EAX. QEM is EAX
TM
1.0 compatible.
QSound Multi-Speaker System
TM
(QMSS
TM
) utilizes a proprietary stereo-to-quad remapping algorithm to transform
ordinary stereo applications into more immersive quad applications. Unlike some other implementations that simply
mirror the front speaker content in the rear speakers QMSS creates 4 individual channels. For musical applications
different instruments or sounds will seem to emanate from one or more speakers. For 1st person gaming applications
and movie playback, QMSS will estimate approximate placement of each sound based on the stereo mix and adjust it's
amplitude and timing in each speaker accordingly.
QMSS can be used to dramatically enhance numerous stereo applications. DirectSound games become more realistic
with action all around the listener. Music CD, MP3, and MIDI playback become more immersive. Stereo and Dolby
ProLogic
TM
film clips become the theatre-like in presentation without a decoder required. QMSS can also be used to
enhance Dolby Digital DVD playback using only the stereo or Dolby ProLogic audio tracks. Many viewers prefer this
alternative to standard Dolby digital playback because of the additional audio content in the rear speakers. QI3D can
also be used for more traditional quad playback of Dolby Digital DVD's when combined with a soft-DVD player using the
DirectSound3D API.
QXpander enhances 2 speaker playback by broadening the sound field and mapping stereo positions to 3D positions.

CD Quality Wavetable Synthesis with 320 Total Voices
ThunderBird Q3D
TM
includes two wavetable synthesis engines. When configured for wavetable synthesis only the
ActiMedia DSP can produce up to 64 wavetable 44KHz, 16 bit voices. Using the ActiMedia engine minimizes CPU
consumption and is ideal for games with MIDI music tracks. Also available is a professional quality soft-synth that can
produce up to 256 voices including special effects. The soft-synth is highly configurable and can be optimized for
highest quality with pure music applications or for minimum CPU consumption in gaming applications.
Both engines maximize quality and minimize cost by using system memory for wavetable sample sets and the
ActiMedia engine can be used to accelerate DirectMusic and DLS (Down Loadable Sound) sample sets using WDM
drivers.
ActiMedia DSP Architecture
The ActiMedia architecture combines the strengths of both programmable and fixed function DSP architectures. A
programmable DSP processor enables custom features, field up-grade and ease of development. An array of gate-
efficient fixed function DSP processors (accelerators) operate in parallel with the programmable DSP, providing an
extremely high performance-to-cost ratio. Unlike fixed-point DSP's that must use a single resolution for all audio
processing, each accelerator is designed with the optimum resolution for its function. This preserves the audio integrity
without the cost of a high-resolution or floating point programmable DSP implementation. The result is a performance,
quality and concurrency that requires 10 times the MIPS on a classical DSP architecture.
Digital Mode Dual Game Port
The S/W polling used by analog game ports can consume up to 10% of the host CPU. ThunderBird PCI products utilize
a digital operating mode that can eliminate S/W polling and accelerate the game port function resulting in significantly
improved system performance. Joystick buttons can be polled or interrupt driven to further enhance performance. A
default analog mode assures compatiblitiy with DOS and other non-DirectInput
TM
applications.
PCI Interface
The ThunderBird Q3D
TM
is a PCI 2.1 compliant multifunction device including audio, game port and 16650 UART
functions capable of bursting at 132 MB data rates. The high bandwidth and low latency of the PCI bus reduces the
need for host based processing and local memory. The PCI bus consumption of each audio stream is reduced by a
factor of 10 compared to ISA solutions. The PCI and CPU busses are no longer locked during slow ISA DMA
transactions and system performance is improved as much as 20%.
To maximize performance, the PCI interface includes dual 32 bit bus masters: DMA, DirectSound and wavetable
synthesis acceleration. A 16 bit DSP Master Device is used to transfer data directly between the host and DSP or AC97
interface. Additional slave devices support legacy and MIDI interfaces. All I/O is re-mappable creating a true "Plug and
Play" device.
Comprehensive Legacy Audio Support
SoundBlaster Pro compatibility in both Real Mode DOS and DOS windows is achieved through H/W SoundBlaster and
OPL 3 (FM) emulation registers. Legacy DMA over the PCI bus is supported on all major platforms utilizing PC/PCI,
DDMA, or VLSI's proprietary Legacy Accommodation Mode
TM
(LAM
TM
). DOS music synthesis includes stereo MIDI
playback, quad MIDI playback, and FM emulation.
Integrated I/O and Peripherals
ThunderBird Q3D products include all the required features to implement a PCI audio solution with minimal chip count.
I/O includes an AC97 link for a AC97 1.0 codec, stereo DAC serial port for multi-channel or low cost playback

Architectural Overview
The ThunderBird Q3D - SAA7780 is a multi-functional device that provides full duplex sound processing, DirectSound
acceleration, 3D audio acceleration, SoundBlaster emulation, FM emulation, wavetable synthesis, and other audio
effects utilizing its ActiMedia DSP processor. The ActiMedia processor consists of a number of fixed function DSP
accelerator blocks and a programmable Pine DSP core. Included within the SAA7780 are interfaces for an AC97
codec, serial DAC, MIDI port, and standard analog and digital joysticks as well as optional external code RAM.

Systems that provide DDMA or have the ISA bridge on the primary PCI bus are able to perform SoundBlaster emulation
enabling the operation of legacy DOS based games. The SAA7780 chip provides two 8237 style DMA channels to
perform legacy DMA cycles on selected systems. The same two 8237 channels provide Distributed DMA support as
well. PC/PCI is also supported to provide legacy DMA support on chipsets that support said protocol.
DirectSound acceleration, both for 2D and 3D audio along with wavetable sample fetching, is accomplished using the
SAA7780 chip PCI 2.1 bus master. This bus master provides the means for the SAA7780 chip to accelerate
DirectSound audio streams as well as fetch wavetable samples for the 64 voice wavetable synthesis and effects
algorithms. Wavetable sample fetching is always retrieved from system memory saving the cost of an external
wavetable ROM. Downloadable sample sets, with software, are also supported using the bus master hardware.
Additionally, the SAA7780 chip follows the AC97 Architecture to provide high quality audio by the use of a separate
codec. Serial DACs, as well as an AC97 CODEC can be selected to provide audio into the analog world. A serial DAC
is used in case the system designer wishes to use an inexpensive playback converter and does not require a record
function. A codec and a DAC can be used if multi-channel audio is required.
The SAA7780 chip supports additional interfaces to sustain both required and optional features. These interfaces
include a standard 4-axis/4 button joystick, external MIDI port, an SRAM interface for external DSP code or enhanced
reverb, and a 16650 UART for an external modem.
The ActiMedia DSP runs the audio algorithms for wavetable synthesis, FM synthesis, special effects such as reverb
and chorus, along with sample rate conversion and data management. The imbedded DSP core and its peripherals are
managed solely by the DSP and require no intervention from the host. The DSP can pass messages to and from each
domain to provide a host software interface into the DSP domain.
Structural and Functional Overview
The SAA7780 contains components to implement the sound generation with accessories to add value to a gaming type
environment. In short, there are three basic types of blocks to implement all of the advanced features present in this
chip. The three types of blocks are PCI domain, DSP domain and mailbox. The PCI domain type of blocks refer to the
blocks that connect only to the internal and external PCI interfaces. The DSP domain blocks connected only to the DSP
code or data busses. The mailbox type interfaces between both worlds providing both functional and test operations
between the two domains. The following sections will give more details on the function and operation of each block.
PCI Interface, Configuration and Interrupt Serializer
The SAA7780 chip PCI interface is composed of master and slave state machines, an address/data/byte enable
datapath, a bus arbiter for the two on chip masters, control logic for the master and slave internal busses, an interrupt
serializer, and the standard PCI configuration register header.
The standard PCI configuration header is also supported. Since the SAA7780 is a multi-function device, there are three
PCI configuration spaces allocated for each function. The three functions are the audio device, the joystick and the
16650 UART. The purpose of the multiple configuration headers is to ensure PCI compliance and enable the operating
system to select the correct software driver for each individual device. The Serial CFG Port is used to shift in subvendor
specific data for each of the PCI configuration headers. The Serial CFG port is an industry standard I
2
C
TM
format. The
configuration headers are included in the PCI interface to reduce inter-block routing. All other PCI configuration space
registers are included in the blocks that utilize these registers.
16650 UART
In order to support an external hardware modem chip set, a 16650 UART is included in the SAA7780 chip. The 16650
UART excludes the need for an additional ISA based UART thereby reducing system costs. The 16650 UART resides
in I/O space and is re-mappable.

Clocks and the PLL Subsystem
Clocks for operation of the SAA7780 are derived from two sources; an external crystal and bit clock from the AC97
CODEC. The SAA7780 PLL Subsystem derives its reference from the external crystal.
FIGURE 4
The SAA7780 substem consists of a fixed layout PLL cell and a digital interface to the 8 bit PS bus. The PLL is
designed to drive the clocks for the DSP subsystem. The implementation calls for the PLL to be utilized with complete
programmable register interface to enable the tuning of the frequencies as necessary.
Multimedia Timer
The SAA7780 chip supplies a 20-bit, 1
u
S resolution timer for game synchronization. The timer data can be accessed as
an I/O device. This timer can be used by game developers to keep track of time elapsed to synchronize the video to the
audio stream. The timer can be polled or interrupt driven and is selectable by the user application.
DMA is for the Sound Blaster registers, the DSP Mastering Device (DMD), and the Audio codec. To cover as many
systems as possible, the DMA interface supports three modes for legacy support: Mobile PC/PCI DMA Arbitration
(PC/PCI), Distributed DMA (DDMA), and Legacy Accommodation Mode (LAM).
Legacy Accommodation Mode allows the SAA7780, in an architecturally compatible system, to snoop and snarf
selected DMA cycles on the PCI bus that were intended to the ISA Bridge. If a chip set supports Distributed DMA, the
SAA7780 will use this method since it is more efficient than LAM. Additionally, PC/PCI can be utilized as well if neither
DDMA nor LAM are supported on the selected chip set.
AC Link and the DSP Master Device Interface
The SAA7780 chip provides support for the AC97 specification by supplying an AC Link interface to communicate with
an industry standard AC97 CODEC. The AC Link interface is set up to allow the PCI, DMA and DSP busses to interface
with the AC97 codec via the AC Link. The AC Link is compliant with the release 1.03 of the AC97 specification.
Sound Blaster Registers
The other device that requires DMA is the SoundBlaster registers. DMA is used to transfer SoundBlaster digital audio
files from the host to a codec for playback in addition to providing a mailbox for other commands. In order for the DSP
to emulate the Sound Blaster sound effects, a legacy register set must be implemented to capture these commands.
These sixteen, 16-bit registers are used primarily to emulate SoundBlaster Pro register set as well as the SoundBlaster

Pro mixer registers. These registers are used as a mailbox to the DSP data bus to deliver data to the SoundBlaster
Emulation code. The SAA7780 chip supports DMA to the Sound Blaster that legacy code requires. All data transmitted
over the SoundBlaster Registers is processed by the DSP to emulate the Sound Blaster Pro hardware.
OPL3 Registers and the FM Accelerator
The OPL3 register interface is a subset of the complete SoundBlaster register set. The OPL3 registers are separate to
point out that the FM legacy is supported at the register level. The OPL3 registers simply pass FM synthesis commands
to the SoundBlaster Emulation code and receive status from the same code.
Virtual Registers
The Virtual Registers interfaces the PCI bus and two substantial wavetable synthesis accelerators: the Sample Fetch
and Address Generation accelerators. The Virtual Registers is responsible for setting up the PCI interface for master
cycles data fetches and retrieving those fetches into a sample buffer. The Virtual Registers get commands from the
Address Generation accelerator and turns them into PCI master requests. Once the data has been retrieved, the Virtual
Register then instructs the Sample Fetch accelerator to process a block of data. Once the processing is complete, the
Sample Fetch Accelerator notifies the Virtual Registers that all is clear and that new data can be processed.
Address Generation Accelerator
The Address Generation accelerator is a preprocessing unit for the sample fetching mechanism inside the Virtual
Registers. The Address Generator will get a set of parameters from the DSP code on a per voice basis for either
DirectSound processing or wavetable synthesis. Once these voice parameters are set, the hardware is instructed to
translate the addresses and fetch the audio samples from system memory. The Address Generator is also capable of
looping with intervention from the DSP code. The DSP kills voices by instructing the Address Generator to stop fetching
data. Once the samples are fetched, they are stored in the Virtual Register's input sample buffer for processing by the
Sample Fetch Accelerator.
Sample Fetch Accelerator
The Sample Fetch accelerator is used to process audio samples fetched by the Virtual Registers and deliver them to
the DSP code for further processing. This processing can include pitch shifting or rate conversion. The degree of pitch
shifting is under direction of DSP code indicating the Sample Fetch accelerator is programmable. The input samples
are taken from the Virtual Register's input sample buffer and stored in DSP memory space.
MIDI Registers and UART
An MPU401 compatible UART is supplied to enable external MIDI devices to use the SAA7780 chip synthesizers as
well as its external device's own synthesizer. The MIDI register interface is used to pass the MIDI command stream
from the host to the DSP firmware for parsing into synthesizer commands. The MPU401 UART always operates in
"dumb" mode. Both the PCI and DSP can access the MIDI UART directly. Data is presented from/to the MPU401
Registers in a mailbox fashion to the MPU401 UART.
Music DAC Interface
The music DAC interface allows for an inexpensive, high quality, playback of the final stereo mix or for providing the
unique QUAD feature when used in conjunction with the standard AC97 V1.03 CODEC. The interface is a standard
EIAJ format supporting many brands of inexpensive 16 bit DACs. The Music DAC interface is capable of playback
sample rates from 22.05 - 48.0 KHz.

General Purpose Input/Output
There are five general purpose I/O pins that are controlled by the DSP. These pins can be used for power management
of external devices or for test and debug of DSP code. All are full time available under DSP code control. These GPIOs
are not controllable from the PCI bus and are generally not available to users.
PINE DSP Core
The Pine DSP core is a programmable 16-bit integer DSP with separate code and data busses (Harvard architecture).
Main features of the DSP core include 2K x 16 data RAM, 64K word code and data space, 16 x 16 bit two's complement
parallel multiplier with 32-bit product, single cycle multiply/accumulate instructions, 36-bit ALU, two 36-bit accumulators,
six-general purpose 16-bit pointer registers, option for up to eight user-defined 16-bit registers, zero overhead looping,
repeat and block-repeat instructions with one nesting level, shifting capability, automatic saturation mode on overflow
while reading content of accumulators, divide and normalize step support.
As noted on Figure 1, the DSP subsystem is supported by two dedicated Pine internal busses called the DSP code bus
and the DSP data bus. All DSP peripherals are connected to the DSP data bus while the code bus is used for just that,
DSP code ROM and RAM. Both the DSP code and data busses are 16-bit for the address and data lines on each bus.
DSP code also enables the DSP core to act as a PCI bus master making it a powerful and flexible audio processing
unit.
DSP Interrupt Controller
The DSP Interrupt Controller is a programmable, priority encoded device that encodes two interrupt signals to the Pine
core. The DSP Interrupt Controller resides on the DSP data bus and is programmed by DSP code. Both sets of
interrupt vectors feature an enable and status bit for each interrupt based device.
DSP Memory Controller
The DSP memory controller provides controls and decodes for the regular DSP data and code RAMs as well as the
code ROMs. The Memory Controller also includes a patch mechanism to allow ROM code to be updated or fixed using
a trapping device.
Game Port
The SAA7780 Game Port interface is designed to emulate the PC-AT based legacy joystick operation as well as
support of a digital joystick mode. The legacy or analog, type of operation is designed to support all legacy software that
uses the original joystick address and the method for resolving the joystick axes positions. The Digital Mode is
designed to reduce the joystick overhead by resolving the joystick position directly and to support applications that use
DirectInput.
The legacy joystick used a one shot multi-vibrator on each of the four joystick potentiometers. These one shots were
set up to deliver a pulse that was proportional to the resistor value of the joystick potentiometers. Software would them
poll the one shots to see if they had been set to the original value. The time it took for each axes to return to the original
value was resolved into a position by the legacy software. The SAA7780 emulates the 558 based one shot circuit to
support legacy games that use the PC-AT joystick. The joystick button values were routed directly to the system bus
where only a decode was required to read the value of the button. Software would poll the buttons as well. All button
and joystick axes data is returned in a single byte wide register.
Game Port Legacy I/O Register
This register is the legacy mode register for the 558 based joystick. Typically, this register is located at legacy address
of 201h. Reads from this register will poll the status of the joystick buttons and are used to resolve the position. Writes

to this register will discharge the external capacitors to emulate the 558 one shots. Software can then poll the joystick
register bit to resolve each of the joystick axes positions by timing. The joystick button register bits have meaning in
both the digital and analog modes. The axes bits are only valid for analog mode.

IO-STS
PCI Bus Device Select
When the SAA7780 is a PCI bus master the SAA7780 uses
DEVSEL# to determine whether a master abort should occur if
DEVSEL# is not sampled active by clock 5 of the transaction, or to
determine whether a cycle is to be aborted or retried when a target-
initiated termination occurs.
When the SAA7780 is a PCI bus slave, DEVSEL# is an output
which the SAA7780 drives LOW during the second PCLK after
FRAME# assertion to the end of a transaction if the SAA7780 is
selected.
FRAME#

While FRAME# is asserted data transfers continue. When FRAME#
is deasserted the transaction is in the final data phase.
When the SAA7780 is a PCI slave, FRAME# is an input that initiates
an I/O, memory or configuration register access if the SAA7780 is
selected for the transaction. The SAA7780 latches the C/BE#[3:0]

SAA7780 Functional Block Descriptions
Register Table Document Description and Example
The next table gives an example of how registers are documented in this specification.
Example Register - Regex (RW/RO)
In the above table example, the EXAMPLE REGISTER text would be a descriptive title for the register that we wish to
detail. Following the register description would be a register mnemonic used in register summary tables and the like. In
this example the mnemonic is REGEX. Following the mnemonic is the read/write access allowed into this register. If the
entire register is readable and writable, then the RW key is assigned. If some bits are read/write while others are read
only, then the key will indicate this fact. In the example, this register has both read/write and read only bits. The register
memory map location is marked in the table cell marked SPACE. SPACE could be substituted with PCI CFG n (for PCI
configuration register space for function n), IOBASE (for an I/O space register with an IOBASE specified in a
configuration register), DSP DATA (for DSP data memory mapped registers), MEM MSTR (indicating a PCI master in
memory space), and DSP CODE (indicating a DSP code memory mapped register. Just below the SPACE marker is
the offset from the base address specified in the SPACE field. The rest of the table should be obvious.
SAA7780 PCI Interface
Overview
The SAA7780 chip PCI interface is designed to interface the external PCI bus interface to all of the selected devices in
the SAA7780 chip. The PCI interface composed of master and slave state machines, an address/data/byte enable
datapath, a bus arbiter for the two on chip masters, control logic for the master and slave internal busses, and standard
PCI configuration register headers. The Interrupt Serializer will be discussed in a later chapter. This section of the
specification will describe the PCI interface in more detail along with design considerations for both the slave, master,
and datapath. The configuration header will be discussed in the SAA7780 PCI Configuration Registers section of this
specification.
The discussion will begin with the PCI master and target systems. The PCI bus master has the capability to burst
double words to/from the two internal bus masters, the Distributed DMA and the Virtual Registers. The full address
range is supported for these master devices. Since there are two masters, an arbiter is required to determine priority
between the two devices. Details on the arbiter can be found in the PCI master section.

The PCI datapath block contains the multiplexors and registers to steer the data to and from the PCI interfaces. The
data is de-multiplexed from the external PCI interface to the internal master and slave busses. Control logic from the
master and slave devices control the datapath.
The SAA7780 is considered a multi-function device since the operating system may wish to load different drivers for
certain functions. These functions are the audio subsystem, the joystick and the 16650 UART. Each of these major
functions must have a separate PCI configuration space. The standard PCI configuration header for these three
functions are supported in the PCI interface.
The SAA7780 PCI interface responds to and initiates PCI cycles with positive decoding according to the PCI 2.1
specification. The interface asserts DEVSEL# after the first clock following FRAME# making it a medium responder. For
specific LAM cycles, the SAA7780 will be a fast responder. The following table indicates which cycles the PCI interface
responds to or initiates.
PCI Bus Command Definitions and SAA7780 Responses
The SAA7780 will respond to byte, word, tri-byte or double word access for configuration read and configuration write
cycles provided PCI addressing rules are followed. Byte and word width accesses allowed for I/O cycles depend largely
on the target I/O device. In general, 24-bit and 32-bit accesses are not allowed to I/O devices and will result in a target
abort. The SAA7780 performs double word accesses when initiating master cycles. Note that the SAA7780 cannot
initiate a master cycle to itself. The next table summarizes the access rules for configuration and I/O cycles.

BIT Width Device Access Rules
The PCI interface consists of three major blocks, the PCI master interface, the PCI slave interface and the PCI
datapath. The PCI master interface contains the master state machine, the master control logic, and the PM bus
arbiter. The PCI slave interface contains the target state machine, the target control logic and configuration register
headers. The PCI datapath is the de-multiplexing logic for the address, data and byte enable data paths for the PS and
PM busses. The PM and PS busses are described in detail in the SAA7780 Internal Busses section. Partitioning of
these PCI blocks is done in this manner to reduce block inter-connectivity and to provide an interface between the three
major sections of the PCI interface.
PCI Master Interface
The SAA7780 PCI master interface performs the memory read and write cycles initiated by the DMA or Virtual
Registers blocks. The major components of the PCI master interface are the master state machine, the PM bus arbiter
and the master control logic. Each of the functional blocks will be discussed in detail.

bursting in a linear incrementing type fashion. The PCI master state machine may also wish to provide a target lockout
signal. This signal prevents the PCI target interface from responding to any master signals.
PC/PCI Legacy Support
The PCI block supports the PC/PCI sideband signals for legacy support of the soundblaster. The PC/PCI can be
enabled by a configuration register bit and one channel selected. The PCI slave block will provide the serial encoded
request signal (PCREQ#) in response to a request from the soundblaster and decode the serial encoded PCGNT# line.
The PCI slave will then claim I/O writes to address 0000h or 0004h with the PCGNT# line asserted as writes to the
SoundBlaster and pass the data to the SoundBlaster.
PCI Target State Machine A
The PCI target state machine controls all SAA7780 target responses on the PCI bus in addition to handling the PS
internal bus.
PCI Target Control Logic
The target control logic handles the address decoding for the ps_NNNcs# signals, bus command decoding for the
ps_XXXrd# and ps_XXXwr# signals, determination of target abort conditions, and data path/pad control logic from the
target interface. Also included in this logic are the controls for the PCI datapath and I/O pads. These controls are sent to
the datapath logic where they are combined with the master controls and then sent to the datapath and pad devices.
The control logic also includes an interface to the PCI configuration headers.
Serial Configuration Port
The Subsystem Vendor ID and Subsystem ID for each of the configuration headers presents a special case. These
three 32 bit registers must be programmed by the Subsystem Vendor. It is impractical to hard wire the Subsystem ID
registers since each Subsystem Vendor will have a unique ID. Therefore an external serial EEROM device is used to
download the proper values into the ID registers after reset and before begin read by the BIOS or other configuration
software. The PCI interface should force a retry if any of the subsystem registers have not completed a loading. The
Serial Configuration Port is a standard two pin I
2
C interface. The SAA7780 will supply the 400 KHz clock to the external
serial EEPROM on the CFGCLK pin. The serial data stream will arrive on the CFGDAT input pin. Please refer to a
24LC00 128 bit I
2
C Bus Serial EEPROM data sheet for interface protocols and timings.
Serial Configuration Port Programming
The SAA7780 uses an inexpensive external EEPROM, programmed before installation, to download the Subsystem
Vendor ID and Subsystem ID registers for each function for a total of 96 bits (six 16 bit registers). The recommended
device, a Microchip 24LC01B 1K Bit (128 Byte) Serial EEPROM, can be programmed using a conventional DATA I/O
programmer.

FIGURE 5
In each of the three SAA7780 functions PCI configuration space there is a Subsystem Vendor ID register at an offset of
2Ch and a Subsystem ID register at an offset of 2Eh. Each register is 16 bits in length and is write-only by the serial
EEPROM and read-only from the PCI interface. The data from the EEPROM is loaded into the registers immediately
after PCI reset. If no EEPROM is detected, the default values are loaded as shown and reflect the default values for the
System ID and Vendor ID for that function.
Subsystem Register Default Values
The EEPROM contains bits 000h through 3FFh. Only bits 000h through 05Fh are utilized to program the Subsystem ID

These bits correspond to Function 0, Subsystem ID (offset 2Eh) bits 2, 1, and 0, respectively. The Vendor should
choose and ID that corresponds to the peripherals present and program the EEPROM accordingly.
PCI Data Path
The PCI datapath provides the flip flop and multiplexers required to convert the external PCI interface address, data,
command and byte enables busses to the internal PM and PS busses.
PCI Configuration Registers
Since the SAA7780 is a multi-function device, there are three configuration headers. They are defined as the audio
configuration header as function 0, the joystick configuration header as function 1, and the UART configuration header
defined as function 2. Each configuration space is divided up into two groups, the registers that stay with the PCI
interface and the registers that do not. This section will describe the PCI configuration registers that bunk with the PCI
interface. These registers include the PCI standard configuration header registers and the base address registers for
various blocks in the SAA7780 chip.
To be more specific, the registers in the offset config space from 00h - 3Fh are the predefined PCI configuration
header. All three PCI configuration header registers will reside with the PCI interface. The remainder of the registers
are function specific and can be found in the block section itself.
The following sections will detail each of the configuration header spaces for each of the SAA7780 functions: audio,
joystick and UART.

Subsystem Vendor ID. The Subsystem Vendor ID register allows the
manufacturer to uniquely identify their board since more than one board OEM
may use the SAA7780 chip. The Subsystem Vendor ID register is loaded by
an external EEPROM via the Serial Configuration Port after reset and before
any access to the PCI configuration header. The PCI target logic should force
a retry if the Subsystem Vendor ID register has not completed loading. The
Subsystem Vendor ID is read only to the PCI interface. If no external
EEPROM is present, then the default Subsystem Vendor ID is 1004h, that of
Philips Semiconductors (VLSI Technology).

configuration header. The PCI target logic should force a retry if the
Subsystem ID register has not completed loading. The Subsystem ID is read
only to the PCI interface. If no external EEPROM is present, then the default
Subsystem ID is 0304h, identical to the SAA7780 function 0 Device ID.

Interrupt Line. The Interrupt Line register is an eight bit register used to
communicate interrupt line routing information. The value in this register tells
which input of the system interrupt controller(s) the SAA7780 Device's
interrupt pin is connected to. If serial interrupts are enabled (COMARCH0
Register IRQSER=1) then the INT_LINE register will be read only and will
have the value of all 1's. If Serial Interrupts are disabled (IRQSER=0) then
the INT_LINE register will be readable/writable.

implying that the SAA7780 device does not use any of the PCI Interrupt pins.
If Serial Interrupts are disabled (IRQSER=0) then the INT_PIN register will
have the read only value of 01h implying that the SAA7780 device uses INT

MAX_LAT Register - MAXLAT (RO)
Multimedia Timer
Overview
The Multimedia Timer is a 20 bit, 1 microsecond resolution timer that is used for game audio/video synchronization. The
timer subsystem consists of the actual 20-bit timer and I/O space registers to report the status and count.
In a hypothetical operation, the multimedia timer is started at the end of a set of audio commands. The timer then starts
counting while the game control will play its video frames. If the system interrupts the video while the audio is playing,
the game application can read to multimedia timer to see which video frame should be displayed and make corrections
as necessary. The counter value must be read in three PS bus cycles.
The 1-uS resolution timer will get its time base from dividing down the OSC clock. An interrupt and flag is provided to
determine if the timer count has rolled over. The timer can either start from zero or be preloaded with a start value. Only
8 bit accesses are allowed to this device.

Power Supply Operating Requirements
SAA7780 Minimum VDD Operating Requirement
IMPORTANT: The SAA7780 requires VDD >= 3.0V. If VDD < 3.0V, excessive damage from hot electrons might occur.
SAA7780 Power Supply Sequencing Requirement
0 <= (NWELL - VDD) < 4.0V
IMPORTANT: The 5.0V (NWELL) supply must power up ahead of the 3.3V (VDD, not VDDIC) supply. Likewise, the
3.0V supply must power down before the 5.0V supply. More specifically, the voltage level of the 5.0V supply must
always exceed, or at least equal, the voltage level of the 3.3V supply during power up or down, but not by more than
4.0V. This is due the biasing of the P+ source junctions and that some pad gate oxides see the (NWELL-VDD) voltage
level. If this level exceeds 4.0V or becomes less than 0V, damage will occur.
Device Maximum Ratings
The following table notes both the operating and non-operating conditions for both the 3.0V and 5.0V tolerant pads.
Remember that the ranges imply an operating range unless otherwise noted. The 5.0V tolerant pads signal at 3.0V
levels and are CMOS and TTL compatible.
