GENLINX™II GS9023A
Embedded Audio CODEC
DATA SHEET
KEY FEATURES
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
• single chip embedded audio solution
The GS9023A is a highly integrated, single chip solution for
the multiplexing/demultiplexing of digital audio channels
into and out of digital video signals. The GS9023A supports
the multiplexing/demultiplexing of 20 or 24-bit synchronous
audio data with a 48kHz sample rate.
• operates as an embedded audio multiplexer or
demultiplexer
• full support for 48kHz synchronous 20/24 bit audio
• 4 channels of audio per GS9023A
Audio signals with different sample rates may be sample
rate converted to 48kHz before and after the GS9023A
using audio sample rate converters.
• cascadable architecture supports additional audio
channels
• multiplexes and demultiplexes arbitrary ANC data
packets
Each GS9023A supports all the processing required to
handle the multiplexing/demultiplexing of four digital audio
channels. To simplify system design, the GS9023A
seamlessly integrates with common AES/EBU digital audio
receivers and transmitters. The cascadable architecture
allows for the multiplexing/demultiplexing of additional
audio channels with no external glue logic.
• support for 143, 177, 270, 360 and 540 Mb/s video
standards
• full processing of audio parity, channel status and
user data
• multiplexes and demultiplexes audio control packets
• EDH generation and insertion when in Multiplex Mode
• 3.3V core with 3.3V or 5V I/O (requires 5V supply)
• complies with SMPTE 272M A, B, and C
The GS9023A supports video standards with rates from
143Mb/s to 540Mb/s. When in Multiplex Mode, the
GS9023A supports the generation and insertion of EDH
information according to SMPTE RP165. In combination with
Gennum’s GS9032, the GS9023A provides a low power,
highly integrated two chip solution for SDI transmit
applications. In combination with Gennum’s GS7005, the
GS9023A provides a low power, highly integrated two chip
solution for SDI receive applications.
