VS1003
8. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
SM STREAM activates VS1003’s stream mode. In this mode, data should be sent with as even intervals
as possible (and preferable with data blocks of less than 512 bytes), and VS1003 makes every attempt
to keep its input buffer half full by changing its playback speed upto 5%. For best quality sound, the
average speed error should be within 0.5%, the bitrate should not exceed 160 kbit/s and VBR should not
be used. For details, see Application Notes for VS10XX. This mode does not work with WMA files.
SM DACT defines the active edge of data clock for SDI. When ’0’, data is read at the rising edge, when
’1’, data is read at the falling edge.
When SM SDIORD is clear, bytes on SDI are sent as a default MSb first. By setting SM SDIORD, the
user may reverse the bit order for SDI, i.e. bit 0 is received first and bit 7 last. Bytes are, however, still
sent in the default order. This register bit has no effect on the SCI bus.
Setting SM SDISHARE makes SCI and SDI share the same chip select, as explained in Chapter 7.2, if
also SM SDINEW is set.
Setting SM SDINEW will activate VS1002 native serial modes as described in Chapters 7.2.1 and 7.4.2.
Note, that this bit is set as a default when VS1003 is started up.

If SM ADPCM HP is set at the same time as SM ADPCM and SM RESET, ADPCM mode will start
with a high-pass filter. This may help intelligibility of speech when there is lots of background noise.
The difference created to the ADPCM encoder frequency response is as shown in Figure 13.

SM LINE IN is used to select the input for ADPCM recording. If ’0’, microphone input pins MICP and
MICN are used; if ’1’, LINEIN is used.
