The FAA20 nibble signaling requirements are identical the VC20 nibble
signaling requirements. Figure 8 provides signal timing information.
Figure 8: NIB Interface Timing Diagram
The NIB clock rate can be changed “on-the-fly” to support switching
between normal and truncated timing modes; however, the transition
should be glitch-free.
The FAA20 supports a special nibble framing mode for a frame size of 230
clocks. This special mode may enable some host systems that have a
fixed nibble clock rate to support truncated timing mode. As already
presented, the PCM interface provides a rate adapter to perform the
required sample rate adjustment. For the nibble interface, the clock rate
can remain at 9600 Hz and the frame size can be changed to reflect the
truncated timing frame rate. Although the actual frame size required for
truncated timing is not an integral frame size, i.e. 230.4 clocks at 9600 Hz,
the FAA20 supports alternating frame sizes of 230 and 231 clocks to
support an average frame size of 230.4 clocks. Thus, the truncated timing
mode can be supported and compressed packets are not accumulated or
depleted.
When the FAA20 nibble timing source is set to internal, the frame size is set
to 230 for truncated timing mode, and the truncated timing rate is 9600 Hz,
then the FAA20 will generate a special set of framing pulses that average
the 230.4 frame size. Specifically, the following five frame sizes are
repeated sequenced: 230, 231, 230, 230, and 231. Externally timed
interfaces can use the same framing sequence. Audio quality is not
affected since the vocoder is not affected by data transmission methods.
