10 VOICE BAND CODEC
The voice band CODEC is a complete analog front-end
circuit. It consists of three parts:
• The receive path, which converts a digital linear PCM
signal to an analog signal for an earpiece, an external
loudspeaker or a buzzer
• The transmit path, which receives an analog signal
from a microphone or an auxiliary input and converts it
into a digital linear PCM signal
• The digital Audio Serial Interface (ASI), which
connects the digital linear PCM signals of the receive
and transmit paths to a digital signal processor.
Various functions and characteristics of the voice band
CODEC can be selected by programming the
corresponding control registers in the Control register
block (see also Tables 11, 22, 23, 24 and 25).
10.1 Voice band receive path
The voice band receive path consists of the following
parts:
• The receive part of the voice band signal processor
• NOISE SHAPER: 3rd order digital Σ∆ modulator,
generates a bit stream at 1 MHz to drive the EARDAC
• EARDAC: digital-to-analog converter including
low-pass filter for high frequency noise content of noise
shaper
• EARAMP: amplifier for an earpiece
• AUXAMP: amplifier for an auxiliary loudspeaker
• BUZAMP: amplifier for a buzzer output.
Linearity of receiver equipment (to earpiece) at
EARPGA = 0 dB and a volume control (VOLPGA and
EARAMP or AUXAMP) of −12 dB, signal-to-total harmonic
distortion ratio according to “GSM recommendation
II.11.10 V.4.16.1”.
10.1.1 RXVOL
RXVOL controls the volume of the voice band receive
path. In conjunction with EARAMP, AUXAMP and
BUZAMP it allows a gain variation from +6 to −30 dB in
64 steps; see Table 25. RXVOL also provides a mute
selection of the three outputs EARP/EARN, AUXSP and
BUZ respectively. At RESET the volume is automatically
set to −12 dB.
10.1.2 RXPGA
RXPGA controls the gain of the voice band receive path
within a range of −24 to +12 dB in 64 steps for calibration
purposes.
10.1.3 RXFILTER
RXFILTER is a digital band-pass filter with a pass band
from 300 to 3400 Hz. It is realized by a programmable
structure (voice band signal processor).
10.1.4 EARDAC
EARDAC is a DAC operating at a sampling frequency of
1 MHz. It converts the bitstream input to a sampled
differential analog signal and low-pass filters the output
signal at the same time.
