The overall latency of a signal through an encoder/decoder pair is shown diagrammatically in Figure 14.

Vocoder Data Format and Bit Order
Packets of both raw and FEC protected Vocoder data are transferred between the device and the host
microprocessor over the byte-wide streaming C-BUS registers. The following sections describe how the
data is organised for the various configurations.
5.5.1.
Packets of Raw Vocoder Frames
The device can produce encoded voice at three different bit rates: 2050bps, 2400bps and 2750bps. The
higher the bit rate, the more bits per 20ms are produced. These bits are packed into bytes for transfer
over the C-BUS. For each bit rate, some of the bits produced are more sensitive to corruption and some
are less sensitive. For applications where the in-built FEC protection is not going to be used, perhaps
because the user already has an existing FEC system, the bits should be encapsulated in such a way that
those which are more sensitive to corruption have the greatest protection. The bits in a frame are named
B0, B1, B2 … etc.
