This is most easily achieved by double buffering the signal through two D-type latches clocked by CODEC_PCMCLK. 3.4 DPL port The DPL port is a three-wire asynchronous serial port. It carries 8-bit, no parity data at 115,200 baud.

Iridium Communications, Inc. Iridium 9523 Product Developers’ Guide Information Contained in this Guide is Subject to Change Without Notice Revision 2.6 5 AT Interface 5.1 Command Types The Iridium 9523 employs two principal types of AT commands: basic and extended. The two types have differing syntax used to query and adjust their settings. They also have unique reference standards. A specific basic AT command is used to reference S-registers and query and adjust their settings.
PAGE 33
Iridium Communications, Inc. Iridium 9523 Product Developers’ Guide Information Contained in this Guide is Subject to Change Without Notice Revision 2.6 Some extended commands incorporate set, read, and test modes. For example, AT–MSVTR is entered as AT–MSVTR=n in set mode to enable/disable receipt of DTMF messages. It is entered as AT– MSVTR? in read mode to query its current setting and is entered as AT–MSVTR=? in test mode to query its range of valid settings.

Iridium Communications, Inc. Iridium 9523 Product Developers’ Guide Information Contained in this Guide is Subject to Change Without Notice Revision 2.6 5.5 Command Entry An AT command is a string of characters sent by the FA to the Iridium 9523 while it is in command mode. A command string has a prefix, a body, and a terminator. The prefix consists of the ASCII characters AT or at. The body is a string of commands restricted to printable ASCII characters. The default terminator is the character.
