Overview
The 3 V Multi-featured Codec (MFC) features complete Analog/Digital and Digital/Analog conversion of audio signals
(Filter/Codec) and an analog interface to a standard handset transmitter and receiver (Transducer Interface). The receiver
amplifier is capable of driving a 300 ohm load.
Each of the programmable parameters within the functional blocks is accessed through a serial microcontroller port
compatible with Intel MCS-51
®
, Motorola SPI
®
and National Semiconductor Microwire
®
specifications. These
parameters include: gain control, power down, mute, B-Channel select (ST-BUS mode), C&D channel
control/access, law control, digital interface programming and loopback. Optionally the device may be used in a
controllerless mode utilizing the power-on default settings.

Functional Description
Filter/Codec
Data Sheet
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 or true-sign/Inverted
Magnitude coding, respectively. Optionally, sign-magnitude coding may also be selected for proprietary
applications.
The Filter/Codec block also implements transmit and receive audio path gains in the analog domain. A
programmable gain, voice side-tone path is also included to provide proportional transmit speech feedback to the
handset receiver. This side tone path feature is disabled by default. Figure 3 depicts the nominal half-channel and
side-tone gains for the MT91L60/61.
In the event of PWRST, the MT91L60/61 defaults such that the side-tone path is off, all programmable gains are set
to 0dB and ITU-T
µ-Law
is selected. Further, the digital port is set to SSI mode operation at 2048 kb/s and the FDI
and driver sections are powered up. (See Microport section.)
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 Transducer
Interface section to provide full chip realization of these capabilities for the handset 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 0.1µF capacitor must be connected from V
Bias
to analog
ground at all times. Although V
Ref
may only be used internally, a 0.1µF capacitor must be connected from V
Ref
to
ground. 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. The nominal gain for this filter is 0 dB (gain
control = 0 dB). Gain control allows the output signal to be increased up to 7 dB. 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. The nominal gain for this filter is 0 dB (gain control
= 0 dB). Gain control allows the output signal to be attenuated up to 7 dB. Filter response is peaked to compensate
for the sinx/x attenuation caused by the 8 kHz sampling rate.
Side-tone is derived from the input of the Tx filter and is not subject to the gain control of the Tx filter section. Side-
tone is summed into the receive handset transducer driver path after the Rx filter gain control section so that Rx
gain adjustment will not affect side-tone levels. The side-tone path may be enabled/disabled with the gain control
bits located in Gain Control Register 2 (address 01h).
Transmit and receive filter gains are controlled by the TxFG
0
-TxFG
2
and RxFG
0
-RxFG
2
control bits, respectively.
These are located in Gain Control Register 1 (address 00h). Transmit filter gain is adjustable from 0dB to +7dB and
receive filter gain from 0dB to -7dB, both in 1dB increments.
Side-tone filter gain is controlled by the STG
0
-STG
2
control bits located in Gain Control Register 2 (address 01h).
Side-tone gain is adjustable from
-9.96 dB to +9.96 dB in 3.32 dB increments.
Companding law selection for the Filter/Codec is provided by the A/µ companding control bit while the coding
scheme is controlled by the Smag/ITU-T control bit. The A/µ control bit is logically OR’ed with the A/µ pin providing
access in both controller and controllerless modes. Both A/µ and Smag/ITU-T reside in Control Register 2 (address
04h). Table 1 illustrates these choices.
