Overview
The functional block diagram of Figure 1 depicts the main operations performed by the MT9196 IDPC. Each of
these functional blocks will be described individually in the sections to follow. This overview will describe some of
the end-user features which may be implemented as a direct result of the level of integration found within the IDPC.
The main feature required of a digital telephone is to convert the digital Pulse Code Modulated (PCM) information,
being received by the telephone set, into an analog electrical signal. This signal is then applied to an appropriate
audio transducer such that the information is finally converted into intelligible acoustic energy. The same is true of
the reverse direction where acoustic energy is converted first into an electrical analog and then digitized (into PCM)
before being transmitted from the set. Along the way if the signals can be manipulated, either in the analog or the
digital domains, other features such as gain control and signal generation may be added. Finally, most electro-
acoustic transducers (loudspeakers) require a large amount of power if they are to develop an acoustic signal. The
inclusion of audio amplifiers to provide this power is required.

Data Sheet
The IDPC features complete Analog/Digital and Digital/Analog conversion of audio signals (Filter/CODEC) and an
analog interface to electro-acoustic devices (Transducer Interface). Full programmability of the receive path and
side-tone gains is available to set comfortable listening levels for the user. Transmit path gain control is available for
setting nominal transmit levels into the network. A digital, anti-feedback circuit permits both the handset microphone
and the speaker-phone speaker to be enabled at the same time for group listening applications. This anti-feedback
circuit limits the total loop gain there by preventing a singing condition from developing.
Signalling in digital telephone systems, behind the PBX or standard ISDN applications, is handled on the D-channel
and generally does not require DTMF tones. Locally generated tones, in the set, however, can be used to provided
“comfort tones” or “key confirmation” to the user, similar to the familiar DTMF tones generated by conventional
phones during initial call set-up. Also, as the network slowly evolves from the dial pulse/DTMF methods to the D-
Channel protocols it is essential that the older methods be available for backward compatibility. As an example,
once a call has been established (i.e., from your office to your home) using the D-Channel signalling protocol it may
be necessary to use in-band DTMF signalling to manipulate your personal answering machine in order to retrieve
messages. Thus the locally generated tones must be of network quality. The IDPC can generate the required tone
pairs as well as single tones to accommodate any in-band signalling requirement.
Each of the programmable parameters within the functional blocks is accessed through a serial microcontroller
port compatible with Intel MCS-51
®
, Motorola SPI
®
and National Semiconductor Microwire
®
specifications.
Functional Description
In this section each of the functional blocks within IDPC is described along with all of the associated control/status
bits. Each time a control/status bit(s) is described it is followed by the address register where it will be found. The
reader is referred to the section titled 'Register Summary' for a complete listing of all address registers, the
control/status bits associated with each register and a definition of the function of each control/status bit. The
Register Summary is useful for future reference of control/status bits without the need to locate them in the text of
the functional descriptions.
Filter/CODEC
The Filter/CODEC block implements conversion of the analog 3.3 kHz speech signals to/from the digital domain
compatible with 64 kb/s PCM B-Channels. Selection of companding curves and digital code assignment are
register programmable. These are CCITT G.711 A-law or
µ-Law,
with true-sign/ Alternate Digit Inversion or true-
sign/Inverted Magnitude coding, respectively. Optionally, sign- magnitude coding may also be selected for
proprietary applications.
The Filter/CODEC block also implements transmit and receive audio path gains in the analog domain. These gains
are in addition to the digital gain pad section and provide an overall path gain resolution of 1.0 dB. A programmable
gain, voice side-tone path is also included to provide proportional transmit speech feedback to the handset receiver.
Figure 3 depicts the nominal half-channel and side-tone gains for the IDPC.
On PWRST (pin 5) the Filter/CODEC defaults such that the side-tone path, dial tone filter and 400 Hz transmit filter
are off, all programmable gains are set to 0 dB and CCITT
µ-Law
is selected. Further, the Filter/CODEC is powered
down due to the control bits of the Path Control Registers (addresses 12h and 13h) being reset.
The internal architecture is fully differential to provide the best possible noise rejection as well as to allow a wide
dynamic range from a single 5 volt supply design. This fully differential architecture is continued into the Transducer
Interface section to provide full chip realization of these capabilities for the handset and loudspeaker functions.
A reference voltage (V
Ref
), for the conversion requirements of the CODEC section, and a bias voltage (V
Bias
), for
biasing the internal analog sections, are both generated on-chip. V
Bias
is also brought to an external pin so that it
may be used for biasing external gain plan setting amplifiers. A 0.1
µF
capacitor must be connected from V
Bias
to
analog ground at all times. Likewise, although V
Ref
may only be used internally, a 0.1
µF
capacitor from the V
Ref
pin
to ground is required at all times. The analog ground reference point for these two capacitors must be physically the
same point. To facilitate this the V
Ref
and V
Bias
pins are situated on adjacent pins.

Data Sheet
The transmit filter is designed to meet CCITT G.714 specifications. The nominal gain for this filter path is 0 dB (gain
control = 0 dB). Gain control allows the output signal to be increased up to 7 dB. An anti-aliasing filter is included.
This is a second order lowpass implementation with a corner frequency at 25 kHz. Attenuation is better than 32 dB
at 256 kHz and less than 0.01 dB within the passband.
An optional 400 Hz high-pass function may be included into the transmit path by enabling the Tfhp bit in the Control
Register 1 (address 0Eh). This option allows the reduction of transmitted background noise such as motor and fan
noise.

Figure 3 - Audio Gain Partitioning
The receive filter is designed to meet CCITT G.714 specifications. The nominal gain for this filter path is 0 dB (gain
control = 0dB). Gain control allows the output signal to be attenuated up to 7 dB. Filter response is peaked to
compensate for the sinx/x attenuation caused by the 8 kHz sampling rate.
The Rx filter function can be altered by enabling the Dial EN control bit in Control Register 1 (address 0Eh). This
causes another low-pass function to be added with a 3 dB point at 1200 Hz. This function is intended to improve the
sound quality of digitally generated dial tone received as PCM.
Side-tone is derived from the Tx filter before the LP/HP filter section and is not subject to the gain control of the Tx
filter section. Side-tone is summed into the receive handset transducer driver path after the Rx filter gain control
