GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TEA1085 and TEA1085A are bipolar ICs which have
been designed for use in line-powered telephone sets and
provide a listening-in facility for the received line signal via
a loudspeaker. Nearly all the line current can be used for
powering the loudspeaker.
The circuits incorporate a supply circuit, loudspeaker
amplifier dynamic limiter, MUTE circuit, power-down
facility and logic inputs for gain setting. The devices also
incorporate a Larsen Level Limiter to reduce howling
effects.
The ICs are intended for use in conjunction with a
transmission circuit of the TEA1060 family.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Figure 1 illustrates a block diagram of the
TEA1085/TEA1085A with external components and
connections to the transmission IC.
The TEA1085/TEA1085A are bipolar ICs which have been
designed for use in line-powered telephone sets and
provide a listening-in facility for the received line signal via
a loudspeaker. Nearly all the line current can be used for
powering the loudspeaker.
The loudspeaker amplifier consists of a preamplifier, to
amplify the earpiece signal from the transmission circuit
and, a double push-pull output stage to drive the
loudspeaker in the BTL (bridge tied load) or SE (single
ended) configuration. The gain of the preamplifier is
controlled by a dynamic limiter which prevents high
distortion of the loudspeaker signal. This is achieved by
preventing clipping of the loudspeaker signal, with respect
to the supply voltage, and at too low supply current. Two
logic inputs can be used to reduce the gain in 3 steps.
Because of acoustic feedback from the loudspeaker to the
microphone, howling signals (Larsen effect) can occur on
the telephone line and in the loudspeaker. When the
Larsen signal exceeds a voltage and time duration
threshold the Larsen level limiter (LLL) will reduce the
TEA1085; TEA1085A
Larsen signal to a low level within a short period of time by
reducing the gain of the receiving preamplifier. This is
achieved by using the microphone signal as an input signal
which is processed in the LLL via a preamplifier and
3rd-order filter.
The MUTE input can be used to enable or disable the
loudspeaker amplifier.
The MUTE function of the TEA1085 has a toggle input to
permit the use of a simple push-button switch.
The MUTE function of the TEA1085A has a logic input to
operate with a microcontroller.
By activating the power-down input the current
consumption of the circuit will be reduced, this enables
pulse dialling or flash (register recall).
An internal start circuit ensures normal start-up of the
transmission IC and start-up of the listening-in IC in the
standby mode.
The TEA1085/TEA1085A are intended for use in
conjunction with a member of the TEA1060 family and
should be connected between LINE and SLPE of the
transmission IC. The transmission characteristics
(impedance, gain settings, for example) are not affected.
The interconnection between the two ICs is illustrated in

The TEA1085/TEA1085A stabilizes its own supply voltage

distortion on the line by momentarily diverting the input
current to VSS whenever the instantaneous value of the

restricted to 3.0 V; the level of the VBB limiter is also

Supply amplifier stability (SDC) pin 3
To ensure stability of the TEA1085/TEA1085A, in
combination with a transmission IC of the TEA1060 family,
a 47 pF capacitor connected between SDC and SUP and
a 150 µH coil connected between SUP and the positive
line terminal (Fig.16) is required.
Loudspeaker amplifier (LSI1/LSI2 and QLS1/QLS2)
pins 5/6, 21/22
The TEA1085/TEA1085A have symmetrical inputs at LSI1
and LSI2. The input signal is normally taken from the
earpiece output of the transmission circuit via a resistive
attenuator (see Fig.3). The amount of attenuation must be
chosen in accordance with the receive gain of the
transmission IC (which depends on the sensitivity of the
earpiece transducer). The maximum input signal level is
450 mV(RMS) at T
= +25 °C.
amb
The outputs QLS1 and QLS2 can be used for single ended
drive (SE) or bridge tied load drive (BTL). The output
stages have been optimized for use with a 50 Ω
loudspeaker (e.g. Philips type AD2071).
The gain of the amplifier is fixed to ≈ 35 dB for the SE drive
and ≈ 41 dB for the BTL drive (when the inputs for logic
control are left open-circuit or are connected to VSS).
The volume control can be obtained by using a
potentiometer at the input and/or by the logic control
function.

Philips SemiconductorsPreliminary specification
Listening-in circuit for line-powered

Dynamic limiter (DLC) pin 23
To prevent distortion of the signal at the loudspeaker
outputs the gain of the amplifier is reduced rapidly when:
• the peaks of the signal at the loudspeaker outputs
exceed an internally determined threshold (voltage
limiter)
• the DC current into SUP is insufficient (current limiter)
• the voltage at VBB decreases below an internally
determined threshold, typically 2.9 V (VBB limiter)
The time in which the gain reduction is effected is the
'attack time'; this is very short in the first and third instance
and relatively long in the second instance. The circuit will
remain in the gain-reduced condition until the peaks of the
output signal remain below the threshold level. The gain
will then return to a nominal level after a time determined
by the capacitor connected to DLC (release time).

MUTE input (MUTE) pin 20; TEA1085A
This MUTE is provided with a logic input to operate with a
microcontroller for instance.
The loudspeaker amplifier is disabled when the MUTE
input is LOW (connected to VSS or open input). A HIGH
level at the MUTE input enables the amplifier in the
listening-in mode.
MUTE input (MUTE) pin 20; TEA1085
The MUTE function is provided with a toggle input and is
designed to switch between the standby condition and the
listening-in condition on the rising edge of the input MUTE
signal (see Fig.6).
In the basic application the MUTE input must be LOW

realized by means of a small capacitor connected between
MUTE and VSS.

starts up in the standby condition.

Listening-in circuit for line-powered

Power down input (PD) pin 19
During pulse dialling or register recall (timed loop break)
the telephone line is interrupted, thereby breaking the
supply to the transmission and listening-in circuits. The
capacitor connected to VBB provides the supply for the
listening-in circuit during the supply breaks.
By making the PD input HIGH during the loop break the
requirement on the capacitor is eased and, consequently,
the internal (standby) current consumption I
VBB is reduced from 3.8 mA to 400 µA typical. So that the
transmission circuit is not affected transistors TR1 and
TR2 are inhibited and the bias current is reduced from
≈ 0.4 mA to ≈ 55 µA with V

This circuit amplifies the microphone signal to a level
suitable for the Larsen limiter detector. The gain is set by
external components (see Fig.8).
Normally the gain is set to the same level as the
microphone amplifier of the transmission circuit, this
ensures that the output signal level at output QLA is equal
to the line signal level.
