 DSA specifications

DSA communication protocol
 

 
DSA bus

The DSA-bus is an asynchronous, bi-directional internal bus designed for communication between two microprocessors in one application. It consists of three bi-directional lines:
 
DSA Data - for starting synchronization and data transfer
STB Strobe - for data strobe (DATA is valid while STB is low)
ACK Acknowledge - for starting synchronization, data transfer-acknowledge and communication-acknowledge
 
 
DSA protocol

For implementation of the DSA-interface in a CD application, it is practical to use a 16-bit structure. The 16 bits contain a command and a data bytes which are transmitted in one string, first the command-byte, then the data-byte. The meaning of the data-byte is determined by the command-byte. If the command does not need a data-byte, a dummy value will be transmitted.
The command and data bytes will be sent with MSB first, in HEX format.

Both processors can send commands to the other without asking for request. This means for example, that the CD-module sends the new values to the user-processor every time CD-time information has changed.
 
 
DSA specifications

The CDM12 Industrial was among the first modules to take advantage of the DSA-interface in 1994. Since that time, different modules have been designed, and most of them have brought great improvements in audio performances.

DSA specifications are similar whatever CD-module is used. However, small improvements have been gradually added with the introduction of a specific module. Hence, you can download the DSA specifications related to the module you are interested in, although the latest CD-module
should still run with a user software developed for the old CDM12 Industrial...
