VCFG (Validity Config.): Determines S/PDIF 
transmitter behavior when data is not being 
transmitted. When asserted, this bit forces the 
de-assertion of the S/PDIF “Validity” flag, which 
is bit 28 transmitted in each S/PDIF subframe. 
This bit is only defined for Output Converters and 
is defined as Reserved, with a Read Only value 
of 0 for Input Converters.
 If “V” = 0 and “VCFG”=0, then for each 
S/PDIF subframe (Left and Right) bit[28] 
“Validity” flag reflects whether or not an 
internal codec error has occurred (specifically 
whether the S/PDIF interface received and 
transmitted a valid sample from the High 
Definition Audio Link). If a valid sample (Left 
or Right) was received and successfully 
transmitted, the “Validity” flag should be 0 for 
that subframe. Otherwise, the “Validity” flag 
for that subframe should be transmitted as 
“1.”
 If “V” = 0 and “VCFG” = 1, then for each 
S/PDIF subframe (Left and Right), bit[28] 
“Validity” flag reflects whether or not an 
internal codec transmission error has 
occurred. Specifically, an internal codec error 
should result in the “Validity” flag being set to 
1. In the case where the S/PDIF transmitter is 
not receiving a sample or does not receive a 
valid sample from the High Definition Audio 
Controller (Left or Right), the S/PDIF 
transmitter should set the S/PDIF “Validity” 
flag to 0 and pad each of the S/PDIF “Audio 
Sample Word” in question with 0’s for the 
subframe in question. If a valid sample (Left 
or Right) was received and successfully 
transmitted, the “Validity” flag should be 0 for 
that subframe.
 If “V” = 1 and “VCFG” = 0, then each S/PDIF 
subframe (Left and Right) should have bit[28] 
“Validity” flag = 1. This tags all S/PDIF 
subframes as invalid. 
 “V” = 1 and “VCFG” = 1 state is reserved for 
future use.
 Default state, coming out of reset, for “V” and 
“VCFG” should be 0 and 0 respectively.

V (Validity): This bit affects the “Validity flag,” 
bit[28] transmitted in each subframe, and 
enables the S/PDIF transmitter to maintain con-
nection during error or mute conditions. The 
behavior of the S/PDIF transmitter with respect 
to this bit depends on the value of the “VCFG” 
bit.
0 Read/Write 0b
DigEn (Digital Enable): Enables or disables digi-
tal transmission. A 1 indicates that the digital 
data can pass through the node. A 0 indicates 
that the digital data is blocked from passing 
through the node, regardless of the state.
