FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

General

The values given in the functional description are typical values unless otherwise specified.

A principle diagram of the TEA106X is shown on the left side of Fig.4. The TEA106X is a transmission circuit of the TEA1060 family intended for hand-set operation.

It incorporates a receiving amplifier for the earpiece, a transmit amplifier for the microphone and a hybrid.

For more details on the TEA1060 family, please refer to “data Handbook IC03”. The right side of Fig.4 shows a principle diagram of the TEA1094 and TEA1094A, hands-free add-on circuits with a microphone amplifier, a loudspeaker amplifier and a duplex controller.

As can be seen from Fig.4, a loop is formed via the sidetone network in the transmission circuit and the acoustic coupling between loudspeaker and microphone of the hands-free circuit. When this loop gain is greater than 1, howling is introduced. In a full duplex application, this would be the case.

The loop-gain has to be much lower than 1 and therefore

has to be decreased to avoid howling. This is achieved by the duplex controller. The duplex controller of the TEA1094 and TEA1094A detects which channel has the ‘largest’ signal and then controls the gain of the microphone amplifier and the loudspeaker amplifier so that the sum of the gains remains constant.

As a result, the circuit can be in three stable modes:

1.Transmit mode (Tx mode).

The gain of the microphone amplifier is at its maximum and the gain of the loudspeaker amplifier is at its minimum.

2.Receive mode (Rx mode).

The gain of the loudspeaker amplifier is at its maximum and the gain of the microphone amplifier is at its minimum.

3.Idle mode.

The gain of the amplifiers is halfway between their maximum and minimum value.

The difference between the maximum gain and minimum gain is called the switching range.

Fig.4 Hands-free telephone set principles.

Supply: pins VBB, GND and PD

The TEA1094 and TEA1094A must be supplied with an external stabilized voltage source between pins VBB and GND. In the idle mode, without any signal, the internal supply current is 3.1 mA at VBB = 5 V.

To reduce the current consumption during pulse dialling or register recall (flash), the TEA1094A is provided with a power-down (PD) input. When the voltage on PD is HIGH the current consumption from VBB is 180 μA.

Microphone channel: pins MIC, GAT, MOUT, MICGND and MUTET (see Fig.5)

The TEA1094 and TEA1094A have an asymmetrical microphone input MIC with an input resistance of 20 kΩ. The gain of the input stage varies according to the mode of the TEA1094 and TEA1094A. In the transmit mode, the gain is at its maximum; in the receive mode, it is at its minimum and in the idle mode, it is halfway between maximum and minimum.

Switch-over from one mode to the other is smooth and click-free. The output capability at pin MOUT is

20 μA (RMS).

In the transmit mode, the overall gain of the microphone amplifier (from pins MIC to MOUT) can be adjusted from 0 dB up to 31 dB to suit specific application requirements. The gain is proportional to the value of RGAT and equals 15.5 dB with RGAT = 30.1 kΩ.

A capacitor must be connected in parallel with RGAT to ensure stability of the microphone amplifier. Together with RGAT, it also provides a first-order low-pass filter.

By applying a HIGH level on pin MUTET, the microphone amplifier is muted and the TEA1094 and TEA1094A are automatically forced into the receive mode.

LOUDSPEAKER AMPLIFIER: PINS RIN1, RIN2, GAR AND LSP

The TEA1094 and TEA1094A have symmetrical inputs for the loudspeaker amplifier with an input resistance of 40 kΩ between RIN1 and RIN2 (2 × 20 kΩ). The input stage can accommodate signals up to 390 mV (RMS) at room temperature for 2% of total harmonic distortion (THD). The gain of the input stage varies according to the mode of the TEA1094 and TEA1094A. In the receive mode, the gain is at its maximum; in the transmit mode, it is at its minimum and in the idle mode, it is halfway between maximum and minimum. Switch-over from one mode to the other is smooth and click-free. The rail-to-rail output stage is designed to power a loudspeaker connected as a single-ended load (between LSP and GND).

In the receive mode, the overall gain of the loudspeaker amplifier can be adjusted from 0 dB up to 33 dB to suit specific application requirements. The gain from

RIN1 and RIN2 to LSP is proportional to the value of RGAR and equals 18.5 dB with RGAR = 66.5 kΩ. A capacitor connected in parallel with RGAR can be used to provide a first-order low-pass filter.

VOLUME CONTROL: PIN VOL

The loudspeaker amplifier gain can be adjusted with the potentiometer RVOL. A linear potentiometer can be used to obtain logarithmic control of the gain at the loudspeaker amplifier. Each 950 Ω increase of RVOL results in a gain loss of 3 dB. The maximum gain reduction with the volume control is internally limited to the switching range.

DYNAMIC LIMITER: PIN DLC/MUTER

The dynamic limiter of the TEA1094 and TEA1094A prevents clipping of the loudspeaker output stage and protects the operation of the circuit when the supply voltage at VBB falls below 2.9 V.

Hard clipping of the loudspeaker output stage is prevented by rapidly reducing the gain when the output stage starts to saturate. The time in which gain reduction is effected (clipping attack time) is approximately a few milliseconds. The circuit stays in the reduced gain mode until the peaks of the loudspeaker signals no longer cause saturation. The gain of the loudspeaker amplifier then returns to its normal value within the clipping release time (typically 250 ms). Both attack and release times are proportional to the value of the capacitor CDLC. The total harmonic distortion of the loudspeaker output stage, in reduced gain mode, stays below 5% up to 10 dB (minimum) of input voltage overdrive [providing VRIN is below 390 mV (RMS)].

When the supply voltage drops below an internal threshold voltage of 2.9 V, the gain of the loudspeaker amplifier is rapidly reduced (approximately 1 ms). When the supply voltage exceeds 2.9 V, the gain of the loudspeaker amplifier is increased again.

By forcing a level lower than 0.2 V on pin DLC/MUTER, the loudspeaker amplifier is muted and the TEA1094 (TEA1094A) is automatically forced into the transmit mode.

SIGNAL AND NOISE ENVELOPE DETECTORS: PINS TSEN,

TENV, TNOI, RSEN, RENV AND RNOI

The signal envelopes are used to monitor the signal level strength in both channels. The noise envelopes are used to monitor background noise in both channels. The signal and noise envelopes provide inputs for the decision logic. The signal and noise envelope detectors are shown in Fig.7.

For the transmit channel, the input signal at MIC is 40 dB amplified to TSEN. For the receive channel, the differential signal between RIN1 and RIN2 is 0 dB amplified to RSEN. The signals from TSEN and RSEN are logarithmically compressed and buffered to TENV and RENV respectively. The sensitivity of the envelope detectors is

set with RTSEN and RRSEN. The capacitors connected in series with the two resistors block any DC component and

form a first-order high-pass filter. In the basic application,

see Fig.13, it is assumed that VMIC = 1 mV (RMS) and VRIN = 100 mV (RMS) nominal and both RTSEN and RRSEN have a value of 10 kΩ. With the value of CTSEN and CRSEN at 100 nF, the cut-off frequency is at 160 Hz.

The buffer amplifiers leading the compressed signals to TENV and RENV have a maximum source current of 120 μA and a maximum sink current of 1 μA. Together with

the capacitor CTENV and CRENV, the timing of the signal envelope monitors can be set. In the basic application, the

value of both capacitors is 470 nF. Because of the logarithmic compression, each 6 dB signal increase means 18 mV increase of the voltage on the envelopes TENV or RENV at room temperature. Thus, timings can be expressed in dB/ms. At room temperature, the 120 μA sourced current corresponds to a maximum rise-slope of the signal envelope of 85 dB/ms. This is sufficient to track normal speech signals. The 1 μA current sunk by TENV or RENV corresponds to a maximum fall-slope of 0.7 dB/ms. This is sufficient for a smooth envelope and also eliminates the effect of echoes on switching behaviour.
