What does LRCK stand for?
The acronym LRCK appears in this documentation:

Re: What does LRCK stand for?
Oh thanks this makes more sense now:
DATA changes on falling CLK and is valid on raising CLK, falling LRCK indicates that the most recent 16 bits were LEFT data, raising LRCK indicates RIGHT data. Each 16bit sample is preceeded by 8 dummy bits (which are always zero). The 16bit values are signed without BIAS offset (0000h=silence).

Re: What does LRCK stand for?
What about those 3 MX pins (DSP.Pin3,4,5)? That sounds like the MX pin on the 65816, for accuMulator and indeX. According to the superfamicom wiki, they are not connected:

The DSP isn't anything like the Ricoh CPU, so idk.

The DSP-n chips are mask-programmed µPD7725 DSP chips. The datasheet for the programmable version of the same should be mostly accurate.

Oh, sorry, I meant the S-DSP chip that's connected to the SPC700 and ARAM, not the enchantment chip. Those MX signals in fullsnes appear right below the LRCK.

Re: What does LRCK stand for?
My guess is X for "access?"
Re: What does LRCK stand for?
Not Multiple-X. Multiplex.

Re: What does LRCK stand for?
Ok.
You know, I think "Stereo Clock" is a much better name than "Left Right Clock."

Re: What does LRCK stand for?
LRCLK is an established term from the time when CDs became a thing in 80s. The name comes from the fact that each signal edge tells when one channel starts and another ends (and things don't have to be symmetric either and there are hardware where it isn't such as Gravis Ultrasound's GF1 chip and several Roland synth chips). Stereo Clock wouldn't be bad but SCLK is already used up by System Clock in many things but LRCLK has remained available

Re: What does LRCK stand for?
Well, I was thinking more like STECLK.
