Three modes of operation may be effected by applying to this input a logic high (V

Functional Description
Figure 1 shows the functional block diagram of the
MT8960-67. These devices provide the conversion
interface between the voiceband analog signals of a
telephone subscriber loop and the digital signals
required in a digital PCM (pulse code modulation)
switching system. Analog (voiceband) signals in the
transmit path enter the chip at V
X
, are sampled at
8kHz, and the samples quantized and assigned 8-bit
digital values defined by logarithmic PCM encoding
laws. Analog signals in the receive path leave the
chip at V
R
after reconstruction from digital 8-bit
words.
Separate switched capacitor filter sections are used
for bandlimiting prior to digital encoding in the
transmit path and after digital decoding in the receive
path. All filter clocks are derived from the 2.048 MHz
master clock input, C2i. Chip size is minimized by
the use of common circuitry performing the A to D
and D to A conversion. A successive approximation
technique is used with capacitor arrays to define the
16 steps and 8 chords in the signal conversion
process. Eight-bit PCM encoded digital data enters
and leaves the chip serially on DSTi and DSTo pins,
respectively.
Transmit Path
Analog signals at the input (Vx) are firstly
bandlimited to 508 kHz by an RC lowpass filter
section. This performs the necessary anti-aliasing
for the following first-order sampled data lowpass
pre-filter which is clocked at 512 kHz. This further
bandlimits the signal to 124 kHz before a fifth-order
elliptic lowpass filter, clocked at 128 kHz, provides
the 3.4 kHz bandwidth required by the encoder
section. A 50/60 Hz third-order highpass notch filter
clocked at 8 kHz completes the transmit filter path.
Accumulated DC offset is cancelled in this last
section by a switched-capacitor auto-zero loop which
integrates the sign bit of the encoded PCM word, fed
back from the codec and injects this voltage level
into the non-inverting input of the comparator. An
integrating capacitor (of value between 0.1 and 1
F)
must be externally connected from this point (ANUL)
to the Analog Ground (GNDA).
The absolute gain of the transmit filter (nominally 0
dB at 1 kHz) can be adjusted from 0 dB to 7 dB in 1
dB steps by means of three binary controlled gain
pads.
The resulting bandpass characteristics with the limits
shown in Figure 10 meet the CCITT and AT&T
recommended specifications. Typical atttenuations
are 30 dB for 0-60 Hz and 35 dB for 4.6 kHz and
above.
The filter output signal is an 8 kHz staircase
waveform which is fed into the codec capacitor array,
or alternatively, into an external capacitive load of
250 pF when the chip is in the test mode. The digital
encoder generates an eight-bit digital word
representation of the 8 kHz sampled analog signal.
The first bit of serial data stream is bit 7 (MSB) and
represents the sign of the analog signal. Bits 4-6
represent the chord which contains the analog
sample value. Bits 0-3 represent the step value of
the analog sample within the selected chord. The
MT8960-63 provide a sign plus magnitude PCM
output code format. The MT8964/66 PCM output
code conforms to the AT &T D3 specification, i.e.,
true sign bit and inverted magnitude bits. The
MT8965/67 PCM output code conforms to the CCITT
specifications with alternate digit inversion (even bits
inverted). See Figs. 3 and 4 for the digital output
code corresponding to the analog voltage, V
IN
, at V
X
input.
The eight-bit digital word is output at DSTo at a
nominal rate of 2.048 MHz, via the output buffer as
the first 8-bits of the 125
s sampling frame.
Receive Path
An eight-bit PCM encoded digital word is received on
DSTi input once during the 125
s period and is
loaded into the input register. A charge proportional
to the received PCM word appears on the capacitor
array and an 8 kHz sample and hold circuit
integrates this charge and holds it for the rest of the
sampling period.
The receive (D/A) filter provides interpolation filtering
on the 8 kHz sample and hold signal from the codec.
The filter consists of a 3.4 kHz lowpass fifth-order
elliptic section clocked at 128 kHz and performs
bandlimiting and smoothing of the 8 kHz "staircase"
waveform. In addition, sinx/x gain correction is
applied to the signal to compensate for the
attenuation of higher frequencies caused by the
capacitive sample and hold circuit. The absolute
gain of the receive filter can be adjusted from 0 dB to
-7 dB in 1 dB steps by means of three binary
controlled gain pads. The resulting lowpass
characteristics, with the limits shown in Figure 11,
meet the CCITT and AT & T recommended
specifications.
Typical attenuation at 4.6 kHz and above is 30 dB.
The filter is followed by a buffer amplifier which
will drive 5V peak/peak into a 10k ohm load, suitable
for driving electronic 2-4 wire circuits.

a signal level of 3.17 dBm0 or 3.14 dBm0

is a high impedance input with a varying
capacitive load of up to 40 pF.
The recommended reference voltage for the MT8960
series of codecs is 2.5V
0.5%. The output voltage
from the reference source should have a maximum
temperature coefficient of 100 ppm/C
. This voltage
should have a total regulation tolerance of
0.5%
both for changes in the input voltage and output
loading of the voltage reference source. A voltage
reference circuit capable of meeting these
specifications is shown in Figure 5. Analog Devices
'AD1403A voltage reference circuit is capable of
driving a large number of codecs due to the high
input impedance of the V
Ref
input. Normal
precautions should be taken in PCB layout design to
minimize noise coupling to this pin. A 0.1
F
capacitor connected from V
Ref
to ground and located
as close as possible to the codec is recommended to
minimize noise entering through V
Ref
. This capacitor
should have good high frequency characteristics.
Timing
The codec operates in a synchronous manner (see
Figure 9a). The codec is activated on the first
positive
edge of C2i after F1i has gone low. The
digital output at DSTo (which is a three-state output
driver) will then change from a high impedance state
to the sign bit of the encoded PCM word to be
output. This will remain valid until the next positive
edge, when the next most significant bit will be
output.
On the first negative clock edge (after F1i signal has
been internally synchronized and CA is at GNDD or
V
EE
) the logic signal present at DSTi will be clocked
into the input shift register as the sign bit of the
incoming PCM word.
The eight-bit word is thus input at DSTi on negative
edges of C2i and output at DSTo on positive edges
of C2i.
F1i must return to a high level after the eighth
clock pulse causing DSTo to enter high impedance
and
preventing further input data to DSTi. F1i will
continue to be sampled on every positive edge of
C2i. (Note: F1i may subsequently be taken low
during the same sampling frame to enable entry of
serial data into CSTi. This occurs usually mid-frame,
in conjunction with CA=V
DD
, in order to enter an 8-bit
control word into Register B. In this case, PCM input
and output are inhibited by CA at V
DD
.)
