Digital equalization for the tape
drive processing of the DCC system
Product specification
SAA2032
Mode Settings Load (LTCNT = 11) (See Fig.10)
The 8-bits transmitted under ’mode settings load’ control
both the ’operation mode’ and the ’data exchange type’.

Address Information Load (LTCNT = 10) (See Fig.11)
A channel/tap combination can be selected through this
type of data exchange.
Co-efficient Data Load (LTCNT = 00) (See Fig.12)
This type of data exchange will overwrite the equalizer tap
coefficient of the current selected channel/tap
combination.
The coefficient data for tap <0000> of the auxiliary channel
should always be zero.
Data Read (LTCNT = 01) (See Fig.13)
This type of data exchange will send information from the
LTDATA register in the SAA2032 to the microcontroller.
Data in the LTDATA register depends upon the current
data exchange type.
LTDATA interpretation:
• coefficient data: two’s complement coefficient data
• tape speed data
– d7 = SVF flag
– d6 to d2 = SC4 to SC0
– d1, d0 = SR1, SR0.
Tape speed data format is shown in Fig.14.
