ORDERING NUMBER:
ST70134 (TQFP64)
ST70134A (TQFP64)
The ST70134 analog front end handles 2 transmission channels on a balanced 2 wire interconnection; a 16 to 640Kbit/s upstream transmit
channel and a 1.536Mbit/s to 8.192Mbit/s downstream receive channel.
This asymmetrical data transmission system uses
high resolution, high speed analog to digital and
digital to analog conversion and high order analog
filtering to reduce the echo and noise in both
receivers and transmitters.
External low noise driver and input stage used
with ST70134 guarantee low noise performances.
The filters, with a program m able cuto ff frequency,
use automatic C ontinuous Time Tuning to avoid
time varying phase characteristic which can be of
dramatic consequence for DMT modem.
It requires few ex ternal compon ents, uses a 3.3V
supply. It is packaged in a 64-pin TQFP in order to
reduce PCB area.

The Receiver (RX) Part
The DMT signal coming from the line to the
ST70134 is first filtered by two external filters,
Pots HP and channel filters.
An analog multiplexer allows the selection
between two input ports which can be used to
select an attenuated (0, 10dB for ex.) version of
the signal in case of short loop or large echo.
The signal is am plified by a low nois e gain stage
(0-31dB) then low-pass filtered to avoid aliasing
and to ease further digital processing by removing
unwanted high frequency out-of-band noise.A
13-bit A/D converter samples the data at
8.832MS/s (or 4.416MS/s in alternative mode),
transforms the signal into a digital representation
and sends it to the DMT signal processor via the
digital interface.
The Transmitter (TX) part
The 12-bit data words at 8.832MS/ s (or 4.41 6MS/
s) coming from the DMT signal processor through
the digital interface are transformed by D/A converter into a analog signal.
This signal is then filtered to dec rease DMT sidelobes level and meet the ANSI transmitter spectral
response but also to reduce the out-of-band noise
(which can be echoed to the RX path) to an
acceptable level. The pre-driver buffers the signa l

for the external line driver and in case of short
loop provide attenuation (-15...0dB).
The VCXO Part
The VCXO is divided in a XTAL driver and a auxiliary 8 bits DAC for timing recovery.The XTAL
driver is able to operate at 35.328MHz.
The DAC which is driven by the CTRLIN pin provides a current output with 8-bit resolution and
can be used to tune the XTAL frequency with the
help of external components.
A time constant between DAC input and VCXO
output can be introduced (via the CTLIN interface)
and programmed with the help of an external
capacitor (on VCOC pin).See chapte r ’VCXO’ for
the external circuit related to the VCXO.
The Digital Interface Part
The digital part of the ST70134 can be divided in 2
sections:
– The data interface converts the multiplexed data
from/to the DMT signal processor into valid
representation for the TX DAC and RX ADC.
– The control interface allows the board processor
to configure the STL70134 paths (RX/TX gains,
filter band, ...) or settings (OSR, vcodac enable,
digital / analog loopback,...).

DMT Signal (Done by the DMT companion
chip)
A DMT signal is basically the sum of N independently QAM m odulated signals, each c arried over
a distinct carrier. The frequency separation of
each carrier is 4.3125kHz with a total number of
256 carriers (ANSI). For N large, the signal can be
modelled by a gaussian process with a certain
amplitude probability density function. Since the
maximum amplitude is expected to arise very
rarely, we decide to clip the signal and to trade-off
the resulting SNR loss against AD/DA dynamic. A
clipping factor (Vpeak/Vrms = "crest factor") of 5.3
will be used resulting in a maximum SNR of 75dB.
ADSL DMT signals are no minally sent at an average of -38dBmHz (-1.65dBm /carrier) with a maximal power of 15.7mW for the transmitter
(upstream for ADSL over Pots, DMT carriers are

from 7 to 31, for ADSL over ISDN DMT carriers
are from 31 to 64).
Maximum / Minimum Sign al Levels
The following table gives the transmitted and
received signal levels for CPE (ATU-R) and, for
reference, at ATU-C. All the levels are referred to
the line voltages (i.e. after hybrid and trans formers in TX direction, before hybrid and transformer
in RX direction).
Note that signal amplitudes shown below are for
illustration purpose and depending on the transmit
power and line i mpedance signal amplitudes can
differ from these values.
The reference line imped ance for all power calculations is 100Ω.

BLOCK DIAGRAM
Application principle is described in Figure 4.
A LP filter may be used on the TX path to reduce
DMT sidelobes and out of band noise influence on
the receiver. On the RX path, a HP filter must be
used in order to reduce the echo signal le vel and
to avoid saturation of the input stage of the
receiver. The POTS filter i s used in both directions
to reduce crosstalk between ADSL signals and
POTS speech an d signalling. Low p ass POTS filter can be very simple for Lite - ADSL applic ation
(see Figure 4).
RX Path
Speech Filter
An external bi-directional LC filter for up and
downstream POTS service splits the speech s ignal from the ADSL signal to the POTS circuits.
The ADSL analog front end integrated circuit does
not contain any circuitry for the POTS service but
it guarantees that bandwidth is not disturbed by
spurious signals from the ADSL-spectrum.

LP POTSFILTER
Channel Filters
The external analog circuits provide partial echo
cancellation by an analo g filtering of the transmit
upstream signal. This is feasible because the
upstream and the downstream data are modulated on separate carriers (FDM) (see Figure 4).

RX- PATH SENSITIVITY AT MAXIMUM GAIN
The RX path sensitivity at the maximal RX-AGC of
the receiver is defined at -140dB m/Hz (for 100Ω
