10.1.5 EARAMP
EARAMP is an amplifier, capable of driving a standard
earpiece with a minimum impedance of 8 Ω in
single-ended mode or 16 Ω in differential mode.
10.1.6 AUXAMP
AUXAMP is an amplifier for connection to an external
loudspeaker amplifier of minimum 8 Ω (hands-free car kit).
An ‘auxiliary speaker external amplifier control’ output
pin (AMPCTRL) can be used to switch on/off an external
amplifier (hands-free car kit). The status of AMPCTRL is
programmable via the Control Serial Interface; its default
value is on.
10.1.7 BUZAMP
BUZAMP is an amplifier for connection to an external
buzzer of minimum 8 Ω. It has the same output
characteristics as the AUXAMP and can hence be used as
a second auxiliary output amplifier. It is switched on/off by
a dedicated control bit in the Control register block.
10.2 Voice band transmit path
The voice band transmit path consists of the following
parts:
• MICMUX: microphone input multiplexer
• MICADC: Σ∆ analog-to-digital converter
• DECIMATOR: decimates the incoming bit stream from
1 MHz to 40 kHz
• TXFILTER: band-pass filter for the digital transmit signal
and down-sampling
• TXPGA/LIM: fine-programmable gain for calibration,
limiter
• SidePGA: voice band sidetone programmable gain
amplifier.
Linearity of transmitter equipment, signal-to-total harmonic
distortion ratio according to “GSM recommendation
II.11.10 V.4.16.1”.
10.2.1 MICMUX
MICMUX is used to select between a differential signal at
pins MICP/MICN and a differential signal at pins
AUXMICP/AUXMICN.
Values are specified for a standard electret microphone
with a sensitivity of −64 ±3 dB for high gain or for an
external microphone with an amplifier sensitivity of
−26 ±3 dB (0 dB ≡ 1 V/0.1 Pa = 1 V/µbar; at 1 kHz).
10.2.2 MICADC
MICADC is a Σ∆ A/D converter which generates a 1 MHz
bitstream.
10.2.3 DECIMATOR AND TXFILTER
The DECIMATOR is a digital filter, which performs a signal
processing to a lower sampling rate at the output
compared to the input.
The bitstream with a sampling frequency of 1 MHz is
low-pass filtered and down-sampled to 40 kHz by a FIR
filter.
A digital high-pass filter and a digital low-pass filter (both
IIR filters) process the 14-bit input samples to achieve a
band-pass with a pass band from 300 to 3400 Hz. These
filters run on the on-chip voice band signal processor (see
Fig.7). It’s program is down-loaded into the instruction
memory (IRAM) via the CSI (see Table 26).
The output of the TXFILTER is down-sampled to a
sampling frequency of 8 kHz with a word length of 16 bits.
10.2.4 TXPGA
TXPGA adapts the analog signals coming from MICMUX
within a range of −30 to +6 dB. It is designed for calibration
purposes.
10.2.5 SIDEPGA
SidePGA loops part of the voice band transmit signal back
into the receive path. There are 64 gain steps from mute to
+6 dB.
10.3 Voice band digital circuitry
The voice band digital circuitry is responsible for
converting a 16-bit PCM signal at 8 kHz sample rate to and
from a 1-bit 1 MHz signal. It also contains a band-pass
filter for 300 to 3400 Hz and a sidetone engine. Various
volume settings are calculated inside this block. Figure 7
shows the block diagram of the voice band signal
processor.
