Austria Mikro Systeme International AG
Single Chip 2-Wire Intercom
CMOS Integrated Circuit
General Description
The AS2507 is a CMOS integrated circuit that
contains all the functions needed to build a 2-
wire intercom network.
The device incorporates 2/4-wire conversion
(hybrid), soft clipping for high speech quality,
FSK modem and a simple interface to a
microcontroller.
The signalling mode is selectable between
FSK modulation and burst mode.
The low standby current (typ. 2 mA) allows
several devices to listen to the 2-wire line.
The speech circuit is designed for compatibility
with commonly used handset (150Ω earpiece
and electret microphone) with receive gain of
-6 dB and transmit gain of 32 dB (relative to
line).

Functional Description
The AS2507 is a CMOS integrated circuit that
incorporates a speech circuit and a FSK
modem. It is intended to be used as line-
powered interface on a 2-wire intercom bus.
FSK Modulator
Two signalling modes are provided, namely
FSK and burst mode. The signalling mode and
the signalling can be controlled by a
microcontroller using the TE and TXD inputs
as follows:
TE
0
0
1
1
TXD
0

MODE
IDLE, no transmission
TEST, for testing only
SPACE ("0") 18.645 kHz
MARK ("1") 22.375 kHz
Standby Condition
During standby operation (PD=High) only the
FSK demodulator is active to provide the
companion microcontroller with all signalling
information on the 2-wire bus. The low power
consumption (typical 2mA) and a high input
and output impedance in standby mode allow
the parallel operation of many terminals on
each bus pair.
2/4-Wire Conversion
The AS2507 has a built-in side tone
cancellation circuit. The transmit signal is
attenuated by 6 dB over the 600Ω resistor (ac
impedance) and subtracted from the receive
signal at the receive input (RI). This
configuration allows the selection of the
required ac impedance and yet maintaining a
good side tone cancellation.
AC Impedance
The ac impedance is determined by an
external resistor at the TO output (typical
600Ω).
Transmit Path
The gain of the transmit path from the
microphone inputs (M1/M2) to the transmit
output (TO) is set to 32 dB. The soft clip level
is set to 0.5V
PEAK
at TO. In standby the output
impedance is 60kΩ.
Receive Path
The gain of the receive path from the receive
input (RI) to the receive output (RO) is set to
-6dB. The receive input is internally biased to
A
GND
with a 500kΩ resistor.
FSK Demodulator
Also the demodulator provides two modes for
detection as follows:
Signal on line
IDLE, no transmission
SPACE ("0") 18.645 kHz
MARK ("1") 22.375 kHz
RXD
1
0
1
The demodulator consists out of a bandpass
filter to attenuate interfering speech signals
and a period counter. The RxD output is
updated after each valid period or a counter
overflow.
Transmission Protocol
In order to assure a safe data transmission,
data framing is recommended. Each frame
should consist out of a preamble (e.g. FF
hex
),
a header (e.g. AA
hex
), data bytes and
checksum.
Independence of bus polarity
Centrally supplied terminals can be connected
to the 2-wire bus independent from polarity. In
this case a rectifier bridge, known from
telephony, is recommended since the DC-
supply current will bias the diodes.
