'''AC'97' (Audio Codec '97; also 'MC'97' for Modem Codec '97'') is an audio codec standard developed by Intel Architecture Labs and various codec manufacturers in 1997. The standard was used in motherboards, modems, and sound cards.
The specification covers two types of components, and the AC-Link digital interface between them: an AC'97 digital controller (DC97), which is typically built into the southbridge of the chipset, and an AC'97 audio and/or modem codec, available from several vendors, which contains the analog components of the architecture.
