AC’97 Controller Unit
13.8.3.5 PCM-Out Status Register (POSR)
This is a read/wri te register. Ignore reads from reserved bit s. Write zeros to res erved bits.
13.8.3.6 PCM_In Status Register (PISR)
This is a read/wri te register. Ignore reads from reserved bit s. Write zeros to res erved bits.

4FIFOE
FIFO error (FIFOE)
0 = No transmit FIFO errors have occurred
1 = A transmit FIFO error occurred. This bit is set if a transmit FIFO underrun occurs. In
this case, the last valid sample is repetitively sent out and the pointers are not
incremented.This could happen due to:
a. No more valid buffer data available for transmits.
b. Buffer data available but DMA controller has excessive bandwidth requirements.
Bit is cleared by writing a 1 to this bit position.
3:0 — reserve d

4FIFOE
FIFO error (FIFOE)
0 = No Receive FIFO error has occurred.
1 = A receive FIFO error occurred. This bit is set if a receive FIFO overrun occurs. In this
case, the FIFO pointers don't increment, the incoming data from the AC-link is not
written into the FIFO and will be lost. This could happen due to DMA controller having
excessive bandwidth requirements and hence not being able to flush out the receive
FIFO in time.
Bit is cleared by writing a 1 to this bit position.
3:0 — reserve d
