Set impedance

In the audio frequency range, the dynamic impedance is
mainly determined by the RCC resistor. The equivalent
impedance of the circuit is illustrated in Fig.7.

Microphone amplifier (pins MIC+ and MIC−)

The TEA1110A has symmetrical microphone inputs.
The input impedance between pins MIC+ and MIC− is
64 kΩ (2 × 32 kΩ). The voltage gain from pins MIC+/MIC−
to pin LN is set at 43.7 dB (typ).

Automatic gain control is provided on this amplifier for line
loss compensation.

Receiving amplifier (pins IR, GAR and QR)

The receiving amplifier has one input (IR) and one output
(QR). The input impedance between pin IR and pin V
20 kΩ. The voltage gain from pin IR to pin QR is set at
33 dB (typ). The gain can be decreased by connecting an
external resistor R

between pins GAR and QR; the

GAR

adjustment range is 14 dB. Two external capacitors C
(connected between GAR and QR) and C
between GAR and VEE) ensure stability. The C

The output voltage of the receiving amplifier is specified for

continuous wave drive. The maximum output swing

consumption of the peripheral circuits and the load
impedance.

when pin AGC is left open-circuit.

Mute function (pin

The mute function performs the switching between the
speech mode and the dialling mode. WhenMUTE is LOW,
the DTMF input is enabled and the microphone and
receiving amplifiers inputs are disabled. When MUTE is
HIGH, the microphone and receiving amplifiers inputs are
enabled while the DTMF input is disabled. A pull-up
resistor is included at the input.

DTMF amplifier (pin DTMF)

When the DTMF amplifier is enabled, dialling tones may
be sent on line. These tones can be heard in the earpiece
at a low level (confidence tone).

The TEA1110A has an asymmetrical DTMF input.

Automatic gain control (pin AGC)

The TEA1110A performs automatic line loss
compensation. The automatic gain control varies the gain
of the microphone amplifier and the gain of the receiving
amplifier in accordance with the DC line current.
The control range is 5.9 dB (which corresponds
approximately to a line length of 5 km for a 0.5 mm
diameter twisted-pair copper cable with a DC resistance of
176 Ω/km and an average attenuation of 1.2 dB/km).
The IC can be used with different configurations of feeding

connecting an external resistor R
