FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
SWITCHEDATTENUATORS Fig.A represents a block diagram of a handsfree subset with attenuators in signal mode. To pre­vent the system from howling, the total loop gain, including acoustic feedback through the housing and sidetone coupling, must be less than 0dB. For this purpose, two switchedattenuatorsare in­serted in each mode (emission and reception). The attenuation is shifted from one mode to the other, resulting from the speech level comparison between each way. To prevent the circuit to switch continuously in one way, the operation of the IC must be fully symetrical in both ways. This involves signal com­parison, attenuationvalue.
GAIN COMPRESSOR In TEA7540, two signal compressors are inserted in each mode before the signal comparison, so
the signal coming from each end has the same level (100mV peak), the losses in each way (for instance losses resulting from the line length in receiving mode) are compensatedand the signal comparison is fully symetrical. The time constant of each signal compressor decreases 80 times more quickly than it increases to prevent from noise increasing between words. The compress­ing depth is 38dB.
BACKGROUND NOISEDISCRIMINATION An additional feature provided in TEA7540 is background noise level discrimination in each way. The IC stores the background sound level with a long time constant (3 to 5 seconds depend­ing on an external RC) and compares it with the incoming signal in order to distinguish a useful signal (speech) from the background noise. This background noise memorization is also used to compensatethe noise in each mode before signal comparison: the noise level in each mode is sub-

stracted from the incoming signal before the com­parison. So very high noise level in one mode cannot troublethe comparisonbetween the useful signals. The result of the comparisonmanages the attenu­ators in the following way:
- The maximum attenuation is switched on the mode where the speech signal is the lowest. The maximum attenuation is fixed by two external resistor (maximum 52dB).
Figure A
The time constant of the switch is fixed by the timer via an externalcapacitor.
- When neither party is talking both attenu­ators are set to a medium attenuation. Thus each mode is in idle mode. The time constant of the switch from active mode to idle mode must be long enough to prevent from switching to idle mode between two words (see fig.B). This time constant is fixed by an externalRC.
