The MSM7603/7603B is an improved version of the MSM7602 with basically the same
configuration, and offers twice the cancelable echo delay time of the MSM7602.
The MSM7603B I/O interface allows switching between m-law PCM and A-law PCM.
The MSM7603/7603B is a low-power CMOS IC device for canceling echo (in an acoustic system
or telephone line) generated in a speech path.
Echo is canceled, in digital signal processing, by estimating the echo path and generating a
pseudo echo signal.
When used as an acoustic echo canceler, the device can cancel the acoustic echo, between the loud
speaker and the microphone, which occur during hands free communication such as on a cellular
phone or a conference system phone.
When used as a line echo canceler, the device can cancel the line echo which returns due to
impedance mismatching in a hybrid.
In addition, a quality conversation is made possible by controlling the level and by preventing
howling through a howling detector, double talk detector, attenuation function and a gain
control function, and by controlling the low level noise by means of a center clipping function.
The use of a single chip codec, such as the MSM7704 (3 V) and MSM7533 (5 V), allows an economic
and efficient echo canceler to be configured.

This is the control pin for the center clipping function to force
the SOUT output to a minimum value when the SOUT signal is
below –57 dBm0. Effective for reducing low-level noise.
"H": Center clip ON
"L": Center clip OFF
This is the through mode control pin.
When this pin is in the through mode the RIN and SIN data are
output to ROUT and SOUT. At the same time, the coefficient of
the adaptive FIR filter is cleared.
"H": Through mode
"L": Normal mode (echo canceler operates)
This is the AFF coefficient control pin which stops updating the
adaptive FIR filter (AFF) coefficient and sets it to a fixed value,
when the pin is configured to be the coefficient fix mode.
Used when holding the AFF coefficient which has been once
converged.
"H": Coefficient fix mode
"L": Normal mode (coefficient update)

This is the pin for the input signal by which the gain controller
for the RIN input is controlled. The pin also controls RIN input
level and prevents howling.
The gain controller adjusts the RIN input level when it is –20
dBm0 or above. RIN input levels from –20 to –11.5 dBm0 will be
suppressed to –20 dBm0 in the attenuation range from 0 to 8.5 dB.
RIN input levels above –11.5 dBm0 will always be attenuated by
8.5 dB.
"H": Gain control ON
"L": Gain control OFF
"H" is recommended for performing echo cancellation.
This is the output pin for the transmit clock signal (256 kHz) for
the PCM codec.
Connect to the SCK pin and the PCM codec transmit/receive clock
pin.
Leave open when using an external SCK.
This is the control pin for the ATT function which prevents howling
by attenuators (ATT) for the RIN input and SOUT output.
If there is input only to RIN, then the ATT for the SOUT output is
activated.
If there is no input to SIN or there is input to both SIN and RIN,
then the ATT for the RIN input is activated.
Either the ATT for the RIN output or the ATT for the SOUT is
always activated in all cases, and the attenuation of ATT is 6 dB.
"H": ATT OFF
"L": ATT ON
"L" is recommended for performing echo cancellation.

Note:Above characteristics are for the MSM7533 (VDD 5 V, m-law CODEC interface). For the
MSM7704 (VDD 3 V, m-law interface) the characteristics are basically the same except
for input and output levels. Refer to the PCM CODEC data sheet.
1. Set echo return loss (ERL) to be attenuated. If the echo return loss is set to be
amplified, the echo cannot be eliminated.
Refer to the characteristics diagram for E. R. L. vs. echo attenuation quantity.
2. Set the level of the analog input so that the PCM codec does not overflow.
3. The recommended input level is –10 to –20 dBm0. Refer to the characteristics
diagram for the RIN input level vs. echo attenuation quantity.
4. Applying the tone signal to this echo canceler for long duration may decrease echo
attenuation.
When used with the HD pin "L" (howling detector ON), this echo canceler may
operate faultily if, while a signal is input to the RIN pin, a tone signal with a higher
level than the signal being input to RIN is input to the SIN pin.
A signal should therefore be input either to the RIN pin or to the SIN pin. If,
however, the tone signal is input to the SIN pin while a signal is input to the RIN pin,
the ADP, HD, or HCL pin must be set to "H".
5. For changes in the echo path (retransmit, circuit switching during transmission,
and so on), convergence may be difficult.
Perform a reset to make it converge.
If the state of the echo path changes after a reset, convergence may again be difficult.
In cases such as a change in the echo path, perform a reset each time.
6. When turning the power ON, set the PWDWN pin to "1" and input the basic clock
simultaneously with power ON.
If the device is put into power down mode immediately after power ON, be sure
to input 10 or more clocks of the basic clock before setting to the power down mode.
7. After power ON, be sure to reset the device.
8. After the power down mode is released (when PWDWN pin is changed to a "1" from
a "0"), be sure to reset the device.
9. If this canceler is used to cancel acoustic echoes, an echo attenuation may be less
than 30 dB.

the attenuator for the RIN input and SOUT output. Refer to the
explanation of pins (ATT pin).
Echo Attenuation :If there is talking (input only to RIN) in the path of a rising echo
arises, the echo attenuation refers to the difference in the echo
return loss (canceled amount) when the echo canceler is not used
and when it is used.
Echo attenuation = (SOUT level during through mode operation)
– (SOUT level during echo canceler operation) [dB]
Echo Delay Time :This is the time from when the signal is output from ROUT until it
returns to SIN as an echo.
Acoustic Echo :When using a hands-free phone, for example, the signal output
from the speaker echoes and is input again to the microphone. The
return signal is referred to as acoustic echo.
Telephone Line Echo :This is a signal which is delayed midway in a telephone line and
returns as an echo, due to reasons such as a hybrid impedance
mismatch.
Gain Control Function :This function prevents howling and controls the sound level by
with a gain controller for the RIN input. Refer to the explanation
of pins (GC pin).
Center Clipping Function :This function forces the SOUT output to a minimum value when
the signal is below –57 dBm0. Refer to the explanation of pins (NLP
pin).
Double Talk Detection :Double talk refers to a state in which the SIN and RIN signals are
input simultaneously. In a double talk state, a signal other than the
echo signal which is to be canceled can be input to the SIN input,
resulting in malfunction.
The double talk detector prevents such malfunction of the canceler.
Howling Detection :This is the oscillating state caused by the acoustic coupling between
the loud speaker and the microphone during hands-free talking.
Howling not only interferes with talking, but can also cause
malfunction of the echo canceler.
The howling detector prevents such malfunction and howling.
Echo Return Loss (ERL) :When the signal output from ROUT returns to SIN as an echo, ERL
refers to how much loss there is in the signal level during ROUT.
ERL = (ROUT level) – (SIN level of the ROUT signal which returns
as an echo) [dB]
If ERL is positive (ROUT > SIN), acts as an attenuator.
If ERL is negative (ROUT < SIN), acts as an amplifier.

Notes for Mounting the Surface Mount Type Package
The SOP, QFP, TSOP, SOJ, QFJ (PLCC), SHP and BGA are surface mount type packages, which
are very susceptible to heat in reflow mounting and humidity absorbed in storage.
Therefore, before you perform reflow mounting, contact Oki’s responsible sales person for the
product name, package name, pin number, package code and desired mounting conditions
(reflow method, temperature and times).
