PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The MX93000 Special Codec integrates key functions
of the analog-front-end of Digital Answering Machine
(DAM) into a single integrated circuit. The MX93000 is
intended to provide a complete, low cost, and single
chip solution for telephone applications requiring a
single +5V power supply.
The MX93000 Special Codec is especially powerful
when applied to some DAM models which are intended
to meet different countries' specifications in the same
system hardware. User can achieve this goal by
simply setting control firmware. This benifit will help
DAM system makers to save developing time and R/D
resources.
The A/D D/A converters are implemented with 2ndorder sigma-Delta modulators. The on-chip digital
filters, which are carried out with 16-bit and 2's
complement format, are used to get the required
frequency response of a PCM Codec. The Codec can
support 8-bit u/A law and linear format. For the latter,
it is 16-bit format with 14-bit resolution .
Before the A/D digitizing the voice-band analog signal
into digital format, the analog signal can be processed
by a built-in Automatic Level Control (ALC) and programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA). The ALC circuit
controls the input level of A/D converter to about 1.5
Volt, so as to get a better signal to noise ratio during a
low-level input. The PGA circuit is used to control the
gain of different sources : microphone, aux or line
input.
After the digital data is converted into analog signal by
the D/A converter, a fully differential line driver is
supported to drive the telephone line directly without
the need of external amplifier. On the other hand, the
analog signal can be monitored by passing the analog
signal to the on-chip volume control circuit, which can
drive an external driver like LM386.
In addition, the MX93000 supports switches and
control registers so that users can program the Special
Codec to be under line operations and all other specific
operations of DAM. To enhance an easy read/write of
control registers by microprocessors, the control data
is clocked by the 8 kHz sampling clock and synchronized by SDEN\, where SDEN\ is coming from the
output port of microprocessor by detecting one of the
rising edge of 8 kHz clock.

SPECIAL CODEC BLOCK
DIAGRAM

PCM CODEC :
This block includes A/D & D/A converters and all of the digital filters.
A/D & D/A converters:
which are implemented with 2nd-order sigma-delta modulation. Output formats are A-Law/u-Law/16-bit linear,
where u/A laws are of CCITT specifications and the 16-bit linear data can get 14-bit resolution and higher linearity
than that of u/A law.
Digital filters :
For the purpose of A/D out-of-band noise filtering and D/A image attenuation, digital filters are implemented on
the same chip.
The digital input applied to D/A converter can not be a dc signal other than idle (bits all zero), as limit cycles in
the digital modulator at a level of -70 dBm will present at the analog output.
POWER MANAGEMENT :
The MX93000 supports the automatic power-down control and power supply detection. This function will work well
even under 3V power supply.
Regarding the power_down procedure please refer to register 4 description for details.
POWER_LOW/BATTERY_LOW detectors : active low
2 comparators and references are used to check whether POWER_LOW/BATTERY_LOW or not. The
relationship between POWER_ON_RESET and POWER_LOW/BATTERY_LOW is as the following table:
(I) POWER_LOW (PDN\) 0 0 1 1
(I) BATTERY_LOW (BAT\) 0 1 0 1
(0)POWER_ON_RESET (PRST) 0 1 1 1
LINE DRIVER :
Not only support the programmable gain from 0 to 22.5 dB with 16 steps and 1.5 dB/step, but also fully differentially
drive -5 dBm power over 300 ohms. If switches SWE , SWJ , and SWK are opened, then the line driver will be
muted to -70dB automatically. In addition, when SWJ or SWK are turned on, there are loss at the line driver output
due to single-ended to fully-differential transform.
LINE_IN BUFFER :
Buffer stage with selection of echo cancellation path or not. For the echo cancellation path, 3-6 dB cancellation
can get it.
PROGRAMABLE GAIN CONTROL (PGA) :
It supports 0 to 22.5 dB gain with 16 steps and 1.5dB/step. The gain value is controlled separately by 3 registers,
where different input signal paths will have a different gain value, and when the input path is changed, the
respective register value will keep no change.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
4
AUTOMATIC LEVEL CONTROL (ALC) :
The ALC can support 36 dB gain with the attack time and release time controlled by C6 and R3 * C6, respectively.
SPK ATTENUATOR :
Speaker output signal can be attenuated either by internal register or external resister. For the former, the
attenuation is from 0 to -45 dB with 16 steps and -3.0dB/step. For the later, 10K ohms variable resistor is
suggested. If switches SWF and SWH are open, then attenuator will be muted to -70dB automatically.
SERIAL_CONTROL_INTERFACE :
To read/write the internal registers.
SDEN\ (serial data enable) is used to start receiving control signal.
8kHz frame sync.is used to transmit/receive the serial data (SDATA).
CODEC_SERIAL_PORT :
4-pin signal will complete the data trasmitting/receiving.
MCLK is not only the data rate but also the chip master clock. Currently, it is fixed at 1.536 MHz and the frame
synchronization clock, Fs, is 8 kHz. For simplicity, the A/D and D/A are synchronous so that MCLK and Fs are
enough.
Data transfer of DX/DR are MSB first in both 8-bit and 16-bit formats.
VOLTAGE REFERENCE :
Two 2.25V voltage references are on-chip generated . VREF is for external and AG is for internal uses. Both two
pins need the decoupling capacitors AGND at all times. VREF can be used to bias the microphone, the level shift
circuits, or others.
SWITCHES :
There are 2 registers which are used to control all of the switches so that user can direct many different signal
paths, of which 3 of them are :
a) Path of normal operation
MIC input --> SWA --> PGA/ALC --> SWC --> SWD --> PCM Codec Ain
LOUT1/LOUT2 <-- LINE DRIVER <-- SWE <-- PCM Codec Aout
b) Path of room monitor
MIC input --> SWA --> PGA/ALC --> SWC --> SWJ --> Line Driver
LINE IN --> Line Buffer --> SWI --> PCM Codec Ain
c) Path of line play
LINE IN --> SWA --> PGA/ALC --> SWC --> SWD --> PCM Codec Ain
LOUT1/LOUT2 <-- Line Driver <-- SWE <-- PCM Codec Aout
SPK <-- Attenuator <-- SWF <-- PCM Codec Aout
