ATTENUATORS
The transmit and receive attenutors are complementary in function, i.e., when one is at maximum gain the other
is at maximum attenuator, and vice versa. They are never both on or both off. Their main purpose is to control the
transmit and receive paths to provide the half- duplx operation required of a speaker-phone. The attenuators are
controlled solely by the voltage at the ACF pin(pin 25).The ACF voltage is provided by the attenuator control block,
