U4091B
Programmable Telephone Audio Processor
Description
The programmable telephone audio processor U4091B is
a linear integrated circuit for use in feature phones, an-
swering machines and fax machines. It contains the
speech circuit, tone ringer interface with dc/dc converter,
sidetone equivalent and ear protection rectifiers. The cir-
cuit is line powered and contains all components
necessary for amplification of signals and adaptation to
the line.
An integrated voice switch with loudspeaker amplifier al-
lows handsfree or loudhearing operation. With an
anti-feedback function, acoustical feedback during loud-
hearing can be reduced significantly. The generated
supply voltage is suitable for a wide range of peripheral
circuits.
