Early Versus Late Frame Syncs

Frame sync signals can be early or late. Frame sync signals can occur dur-
ing the first bit of each data word or during the serial clock cycle
immediately preceding the first bit. The
register configures this option.
When is cleared (=0), early frame syncs are configured. This is the
LAFS
normal mode of operation. In this mode, the first bit of the transmit data
word is available (and the first bit of the receive data word is latched) in
the serial clock cycle after the frame sync is asserted. The frame sync is not
checked again until the entire word has been transmitted (or received). In
multichannel operation, this is the case when the frame delay is one.
If data transmission is continuous in early framing mode (for example, the
last bit of each word is immediately followed by the first bit of the next
word), the frame sync signal occurs during the last bit of each word. Inter-
nally-generated frame syncs are asserted for one clock cycle in early
framing mode.
