Geode™ CS5536 Audio Codec 97 (AC’97) Controller

The AC’97 specification v2.3 compliant controller on the chipset is interfaced to a 20-bit

DAC and 18-bit ADC full-duplex AC'97 2.3 stereo RealTek ALC203 codec. The ALC203 is

then connected to a 10-pin audio connector to which an audio kit can easily be connected.

The codec meets performance requirements for audio on PC99/2001 systems. Some of

the codec features are listed below.
