5.3 Framed Output
The format for Framed output data is shown in Figure 5-B. Only the bits in the Channel Data Bits are transmitted along with
framing information (data used to locate the start of each frame for proper reconstruction at the decoder) over the channel. The
first 192 bits provide overhead information, which is sometimes useful to the host but is generally not transmitted over the
channel.

5.3.1 Framed Output: Word 0 : Header
The header is a 16-bit word that begins each valid frame corresponding to 20 milliseconds of speech. This field will always be
0x13EC.
5.3.2 Framed Output: Word 1 : Power Control ID
The encoder will always use 0x00 in the 8-bit field of an output frame.
5.3.3 Framed Output: Word 1 : Control Word 1
This 8-bit control word indicates the activity of various functions.

Decoder Frame Repeat: When the Decoder Frame Repeat flag is set to 1, the decoder is reporting that the last frame decoded
was a repeat of the previous frame.
