These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam
during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of
Texas Instruments semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.

PRODUCTION DATA information is current as of publication date.
Products conform to specifications per the terms of Texas Instruments
standard warranty. Production processing does not necessarily include
testing of all parameters.
The TCM320AC36 and TCM320AC37 voice-band audio processor (VBAP) integrated circuits are designed to
perform the transmit encoding (A/D conversion) and receive decoding (D/A conversion) together with transmit
and receive filtering for voice-band communications systems. Cellular telephone systems are targeted in
particular; however, these integrated circuits can function in other systems including digital audio,
telecommunications, and data acquisition.
These devices are pin-selectable for either of two modes, companded and linear, providing data in two formats.
In the companded mode, data is transmitted and received in 8-bit words. In the linear mode, 13 bits of data, and
either three bits of gain-setting control data, or three zero bits of padding to create a 16-bit word, are sent and
received.
The transmit section is designed to interface directly with an electret microphone element. The microphone input
signal (MICIN) is buffered and amplified, with provision for setting the amplifier gain to accommodate a range
of signal input levels. The amplified signal is passed through antialiasing and band-pass filters. The filtered
signal is then applied to the input of a compressing analog-to-digital converter (COADC) when companded
mode is selected. Otherwise, the analog-to-digital converter performs a linear conversion. The resulting data
is then clocked out of DOUT as a serial data stream.
The receive section takes a frame of serial data on DIN and converts it to analog through an expanding
digital-to-analog converter (EXDAC) when the companded mode is selected; otherwise, a linear conversion is
performed. The analog signal then passes through switched capacitor filters, which provide out-of-band
rejection, (sin x)/x correction functions, and smoothing. The filtered signal is sent to the earphone amplifier. The
earphone amplifier has a differential output with adjustable gain and is designed to minimize static power
dissipation.
A single on-chip high-precision band-gap circuit generates all voltage references, eliminating the need for
external reference voltages. An internal reference voltage equal to V
virtual ground for all the amplifier circuits and the microphone bias circuit. Another reference voltage, MICBIAS,
can supply bias current for the microphone.
The TCM320AC3xC devices are characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C. The TCM320AC3xI devices are
characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
general
system reliability features
The device should be powered up and initialized as follows:
1. Apply GND.
2. Apply V
3. Connect all clocks.
4. Apply TTL high to PDN
5. Apply synchronizing pulses to FSX and/or FSR.
Even though the VBAP is heavily protected against latch-up, it is still possible to cause it to latch up under certain
improper power conditions. T o help ensure that latch-up does not occur , a reverse-biased Schottky diode (with
a forward voltage drop of less than or equal to 0.4 V — 1N5711 or equivalent) should be connected between

power-down and standby operations
To minimize power consumption, a power-down mode and three standby modes are provided.
For power down, an external low signal is applied to PDN
up to a high logic level and the device remains active. In the power-down mode, the average power consumption
is reduced to 3 mW.
Three standby modes give the user the option of placing the entire device on standby , placing only the transmit
channel on standby , or placing only the receive channel on standby . T o place the entire device on standby , both
FSX and FSR are held low. For transmit-only operation (receive channel on standby), FSX is pulsing and FSR
is held low. For receive-only operation (transmit section on standby), FSR is pulsing and FSX is held low . When
the entire device is in standby mode, power consumption is reduced to 5 mW. See Table 1 for power-down and
standby procedures.

frequency . Data is transmitted on DOUT on the positive transitions of CLK following the rising edge of FSX. Data
is received on DIN on the falling edges of CLK following FSR. A D/A conversion is performed on the received
digital word, and the resulting analog sample is held on an internal sample-and-hold capacitor until transferred
to the receive filter. The data word is eight bits long in the companded mode and 16 bits long in the linear mode.
variable-data-rate timing
V ariable-data-rate timing is selected by connecting DCLKR to the receive data clock. In this mode, the master
clock (CLK) controls the switched-capacitor filters, while data transfer into DIN and out of DOUT is controlled
by DCLKR and DCLKX respectively. This allows the data to be transferred in and out of the device at any rate
up to the frequency of the master clock. DCLKR and DCLKX must be synchronous with CLK.
While the FSX input is high, data is transmitted from DOUT on consecutive positive transitions of DCLKX.
Similarly, while the FSR input is high, the data word is received at DIN on consecutive negative transitions of
DCLKR. The transmitted data word at DOUT is repeated in all remaining time slots in the frame as long as
DCLKX is pulsed and FSX is held high. This feature, which allows the data word to be transmitted more than
once per frame, is available only with variable-data-rate timing.
asynchronous operations
T o avoid crosstalk problems associated with special interrupt circuits, the design includes separate converters,
filters, and voltage references on the transmit and receive sides. This allows completely independent operation
of the two channels. In either timing mode, the master clock, data clock, and time-slot strobe must be
synchronized at the beginning of each frame.
precision voltage references
A precision band-gap reference voltage is generated internally and is used to supply all the references required
for operation of both the transmit and receive channels. The gain in each channel is trimmed during the
manufacturing process. This ensures very accurate, stable gain performance over variations in supply voltage
and device temperature.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
conversion laws
The TCM320AC36 provides µ-law companding operation that approximates the CCITT G.711
recommendation. The TCM320AC37 provides A-law companding operation that approximates the CCITT
G.71 1 recommendation. The linear mode of operation uses a 13-bit two’s-complement format and is the same
for both the TCM320AC36 and the TCM320AC37.
transmit operation
microphone input
The microphone input amplifier is designed specifically to interface to electret-type microphone elements, as
shown in Figure 5. The VMID buffer circuit provides a voltage (MICBIAS) equal to 1/2 V
the microphone amplifier and a bias voltage to the electret microphone. The microphone amplifier output
(MICGS) is used in conjunction with a feedback network and applied to the amplifier inverting input (MICIN) to
set the amplifier gain. In the companded mode, when the MICIN signal level decreases to a level near the noise
floor, the VBAP mutes the signal and outputs zero bits while continuing to monitor the signal level. When the
input level once again exceeds the noise threshold, the mute is released and normal operation resumes. Input
hysteresis is provided to ensure noiseless transitions into and out of the muted condition. VMID appears at a
terminal to provide a place to filter the VMID voltage.

To Transmit Filters
The MICMUTE
input causes the digital circuitry to transmit all zero code on DOUT.
transmit filter
A low-pass antialiasing section is included on the device and achieves a 35-dB attenuation at the sampling
frequency. No external components are required to provide the necessary antialiasing function for the
switched-capacitor section of the transmit filter.
The encoder internally samples the output of the transmit filter and holds each sample on an internal
sample-and-hold capacitor. The encoder performs an A/D conversion on a switched-capacitor array. Digital
data representing the sample is transmitted on the first 8 or 16 data clock cycles of the next frame.
The autozero circuit corrects for dc offset on the input signal to the encoder using the sign-bit averaging
technique. The sign bit from the encoder output is long-term averaged and subtracted from the input to the
encoder.
data word structure
The data word is eight bits long in the companded mode and all eight bits represent one audio data sample.
The sign bit is the first bit transmitted.
The data word is 16 bits long in the linear mode. The first 13 bits comprise the audio data sample, and the last
three bits form the volume control word in the receive direction (DIN) and are zero pad bits in the transmit
direction (DOUT). The sign bit is transmitted first.
receive operation
decoding
In the companded mode, the serial data word is received at DIN on the first eight clock cycles in fixed-data rate
and on the last eight clock cycles in variable-data rate. In the linear mode, the serial data word is received at
DIN on the first 13 clock cycles. D/A conversion is performed, and the corresponding analog sample is held on
an internal sample-and-hold capacitor. This sample is transferred to the receive filter.
receive filter
The receive section of the filter provides pass-band flatness and stop-band rejection that approximates both
the AT&T D3/D4 specification and CCITT recommendation G.712 when operated at the recommended
frequencies. The filter contains the required compensation for the (sin x)/x response of such decoders.
receive buffer
The receive buffer contains the volume control.
earphone amplifier
The earphone audio-output amplifier has a balanced output, as shown in Figure 6, to allow maximum flexibility
in output configuration. The output amplifier is designed to directly drive a piezo earphone in the differential
configuration without any additional external components. The output can also be used to drive a single-ended
load with the output signal voltage centered around V
The receive-channel output level can be adjusted between specified limits by connecting an external resistor
network to EARGS.

receive data format
In the companded mode, eight bits of data are received. The sign bit is the first bit received (see Table 2).
In the linear mode, 16 bits of data are received. The first 13 bits are the D/A code, and the remaining three bits
form the volume control word (see Table 2). The volume control function is actually an attenuation control in
which the first bit received is the most significant. The maximum volume occurs when all three volume control
bits are zero. Eight levels of attenuation are selectable in 3-dB steps, giving a maximum attenuation of 21 dB
when all bits are 1s. The volume control bits are not latched into the VBAP and must be present in each received
data word.
