Burr-Brown’s Analog Front End greatly reduces the size and
cost of a single pair HDSL (High bit rate Digital Subscriber
Line) system by providing all of the active analog circuitry
needed to connect an HDSL digital signal processor to an
external compromise hybrid and an HDSL line transformer.
The transmit and receive filter responses automatically change
with clock frequency, allowing the AFE1203 to operate over a
wide range of data rates. The power dissipation of the device
can be reduced under digital control for operation at lower
speeds. The AFE1203 will operate at bit rates from 160kbps to
2.3Mbps. It meets ETSI PSD specifications for single pair E1,
as well as ETSI and ANSI PSD specifications for two pair E1
and T1.
Functionally, this unit consists of a transmit and a receive
section. The transmit section generates, filters, and buffers
outgoing 2B1Q data. The receive section filters and digitizes
the symbol data received on the telephone line. This IC operates
on a single 5V supply. The digital circuitry in the unit can be
connected to a supply from 3.3V to 5V. The chip uses only
385mW for full-speed operation. It is housed in a small 48-lead
SSOP package.
The receive channel is designed around a fourth-order delta-
sigma analog-to-digital converter. It includes a difference am-
plifier designed to be used with an external compromise hybrid
for first-order analog echo cancellation. A programmable gain
amplifier with gains 0dB to +9dB is also included. The delta-
sigma modulator, operating at a 24X oversampling ratio, pro-
duces a 14-bit output at symbol rates up to 1168kHz (for
2.3Mbps operation).
The transmit channel consists of a digital-to-analog converter and
switched-capacitor pulse forming network followed by a differ-
ential line driver. The pulse forming network receives symbol
data and generates a standard 2B1Q output waveform. The
differential line driver uses a composite output stage combining
class B operation (for high efficiency driving large signals) with
class AB operation (to minimize crossover distortion).

NOTES: (1) With a balanced differential signal, the positive input is 180° out of phase with the negative input, therefore the actual voltage swing about the common
mode voltage on each pin is
±1.5V
to achieve a differential input range of
±3.0V
or 6Vp-p. (2) FSR is Full-Scale Range. (3) The output data is available at twice the
symbol rate with interpolated values. (4) With a pseudo-random equiprobable sequence of HDSL pulses; 13.5dBm applied to the transformer (27dBm output from
txLINE
P
and txLINE
N
). (5) Guaranteed by design and characterization. (6) Uncancelled Echo is a measure of the total analog errors in the transmitter and receiver
sections including the effect of non-linearity and noise. See the Discussion of Specifications section of this data sheet for more information. (7) Power dissipation
includes only the power dissipated within the component and does not include power dissipated in the external loads. The AFE1203 is tested with a 1:2 line
transformer. (8) This is the settling time required for any gain change, change of rxSYNC or any change of power mode.
