| mb | 37:32 | 4 to 46 | Number of parity bits as a multiple of Z (Z*mb), thereby controlling code rate |
| id | 31:24 | 0 to 255 | External block identifier supplied through input |
| 23:15 | - | Reserved | |
| hard_op | 14 | 1 | Hard output (fixed value) |
| op | 13 | 1 | Encode operation (fixed value) |
| 12:9 | - | Reserved | |
| bg | 8:6 | 0 to 4 | Base graph |
| z_set | 5:3 | 0 to 7 | Base graph cyclic shift set |
