Overview
The 3 V Single-Rail Codec features complete Analog/Digital and Digital/Analog conversion of audio signals
(Filter/Codec) and an analog interface to a standard analog transmitter and receiver (analog Interface). The
receiver amplifier is capable of driving a 20 k ohm load.
Functional Description
Filter/Codec
The Filter/Codec block implements conversion of the analog 0-3.3 kHz speech signals to/from the digital domain
compatible with 64 kb/s PCM B-Channels. Selection of companding curves and digital code assignment are
programmable. These are ITU-T G.711 A-law or
µ-Law,
with true-sign/Alternate Digit Inversion.
The Filter/Codec block also implements a transmit audio path gain in the analog domain. Figure 3 depicts the
nominal half-channel for the MT91L62.
The internal architecture is fully differential to provide the best possible noise rejection as well as to allow a wide
dynamic range from a single 3 volt supply design. This fully differential architecture is continued into the Analog
Interface section to provide full chip realization of these capabilities for the external functions.
A reference voltage (V
Ref
), for the conversion requirements of the Codec section, and a bias voltage (V
Bias
), for
biasing the internal analog sections, are both generated on-chip. V
Bias
is also brought to an external pin so that it
may be used for biasing external gain setting amplifiers. A 0.1
µF
capacitor must be connected from V
Bias
to analog
ground at all times. Likewise, although V
Ref
may only be used internally, a 0.1
µF
capacitor from the V
Ref
pin to
ground is required at all times. The analog ground reference point for these two capacitors must be physically the
same point. To facilitate this the V
Ref
and V
Bias
pins are situated on adjacent pins.
The transmit filter is designed to meet ITU-T G.714 specifications. An anti-aliasing filter is included. This is a
second order lowpass implementation with a corner frequency at 25 kHz.
The receive filter is designed to meet ITU-T G.714 specifications. Filter response is peaked to compensate for the
sinx/x attenuation caused by the 8 kHz sampling rate.
Companding law selection for the Filter/Codec is provided by the A/µ companding control pin. Table 1
illustrates these choices.

Analog Interfaces
Standard interfaces are provided by the MT91L62. These are:
•
•
Data Sheet
The analog inputs (transmitter), pins AIN+/AIN-. The maximum peak to peak input is 2.123 Vpp
µ−law
across AIN+/AIN- and 2.2 Vpp A-law across these pins.
The analog outputs (receiver), pins AOUT+/AOUT-. This internally compensated fully differential output
driver is capable of driving a load of 20 k ohms.
PCM Serial Interface
A serial link is required to transport data between the MT91L62 and an external digital transmission device. The
MT91L62 utilizes the strobed data interface found on many standard Codec devices. This interface is commonly
referred to as Simple Serial Interface (SSI).
The bit clock rate is selected by setting the CSL2-0 control pins as shown in Figure 2.
Quiet Code
The PCM serial port can be made to send quiet code to the decoder and receive filter path by setting the RxMute
pin high. Likewise, the PCM serial port will send quiet code in the transmit path when the TxMute pin is high. When
either of these pins are low their respective paths function normally. The -Zero entry of Table 1 is used for the quiet
code definition.

Table 2 - Bit Clock Rate Selection
SSI Mode
The SSI BUS consists of input and output serial data streams named Din and Dout respectively, a Clock input
signal (CLOCKin), and a framing strobe input (STB). A 4.096 MHz master clock is also required for SSI operation if
the bit clock is less than 512 kHz. The timing requirements for SSI are shown in Figures 5 & 6.
In SSI mode the MT91L62 supports only B-Channel operation. Hence, in SSI mode transmit and receive B-Channel
data are always in the channel defined by the STB input.
The data strobe input STB determines the 8-bit timeslot used by the device for both transmit and receive data. This
is an active high signal with an 8 kHz repetition rate.
SSI operation is separated into two categories based upon the data rate of the available bit clock. If the bit clock is
512 kHz or greater then it is used directly by the internal MT91L62 functions allowing synchronous operation. If the
available bit clock is 128 kHz or 256 kHz, then a 4096 kHz master clock is required to derive clocks for the internal
MT91L62 functions.

MT91L62
Data Sheet
Applications where Bit Clock (BCL) is below 512 kHz are designated as asynchronous. The MT91L62 will re-align
its internal clocks to allow operation when the external master and bit clocks are asynchronous. Control pins CSL2,
CSL1 and CSL0 are used to program the bit rates.
For synchronous operation, data is sampled from Din, on the falling edge of BCL during the time slot defined by the
STB input. Data is made available, on Dout, on the rising edge of BCL during the time slot defined by the STB input.
Dout is tri-stated at all times when STB is not true. If STB is valid, then quiet code will be transmitted on Dout during
the valid strobe period. There is no frame delay through the PCM serial circuit for synchronous operation.
For asynchronous operation Dout and Din are as defined for synchronous operation except that the allowed
output jitter on Dout is larger. This is due to the resynchronization circuitry activity and will not affect operation
since the bit cell period at 128 kb/s and 256 kb/s is relatively large. There is a one frame delay through the PCM
serial circuit for asynchronous operation. Refer to the specifications of Figures 5 & 6 for both synchronous and
asynchronous SSI timing.
