The frame counter on the die seems to be a 15-bit linear feedback shift register (with taps at the 14th and 15th bits); when the LFSR is initialized with all 1s and clocked every other CPU cycle, a decoder appears to generate signals at 7456, 14912 (+7456), 22370 (+7458), 29828 (+7458), and 37280 (+7452) cycles. I have not yet determined how these relate to the 2 different sequence modes. --Quietust 17:09, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
