DESCRIPTION
The Teridian 73M1903 Analog Front End (AFE)
IC includes fully differential hybrid driver outputs,
which connect to the telephone line interface
through a transformer-based DAA. The receive
pins are also fully differential for maximum
flexibility and performance. This arrangement
allows for the design of a high performance
hybrid circuit to improve signal to noise
performance under low receive level conditions,
and compatibility with any standard transformer
intended for PSTN communications applications.
The device incorporates a programmable
sample rate circuit to support soft modem and
DSP based implementations of all speeds up to
V.92 (56 kbps). The sampling rates supported
are from 7.2 kHz to 14.4 kHz by programming
pre-scaler NCO and PLL NCO.
The 73M1903 device incorporates a digital host
interface that is compatible with the serial ports
found on most commercially available DSPs and
processors and exchanges both payload and
control information with the host.
Cost-saving features of the device include an
input reference frequency circuit, which accepts
a range of crystals from 9-27 MHz. It also
accepts external reference clock values between
9-40 MHz generated by the host processor. In
most applications, this eliminates the need for a
dedicated crystal oscillator and reduces the bill
of material (BOM).
The 73M1903 also supports two analog loop
back and one digital loop back test modes.

1 Signal Description
The Teridian 73M1903 modem AFE IC is available in a 20-pin TSSOP or 32-pin QFN package with the
same pin out. The following table describes the function of each pin. There are two pairs of power
supply pins, VPA (analog) and VPD (digital). They should be separately decoupled from the supply
source in order to isolate digital noise from the analog circuits internal to the chip. Failure to adequately
isolate and decouple these supplies will compromise device performance.

1.1
Serial Interface
The serial data port is a bi-directional port that can be supported by most DSPs. Although the 73M1903
is a peripheral to the DSP (host controller), the 73M1903 is the master of the serial port. It generates a
serial bit clock, Sclk, from a system clock, Sysclk, which is normally an output from an on-chip PLL that
can be programmed by the user. The serial bit clock is always derived by dividing the system clock by
18. The sclk rate, Fsclk, is related to the frame synchronization rate, Fs, by the relationship Fsclk = 256 x
Fs or Fs = Fsclk / 256 = Fsys / 18 / 256 = Fsys / 4608, where Fsys is the frequency of Sysclk. Fs is also
the rate at which both the transmit and receive data bytes are sent (received) to (by) the Host.
Throughout this document two pairs of sample rate, Fs, and crystal frequency, Fxtal, will be often cited to
facilitate discussions. They are:
1. Fxtal
1
= 27 MHz, Fs
1
= 7.2 kHz
2. Fxtal
2
= 18.432 MHz, Fs
2
= 8 kHz.
3. Fxtal
3
= 24.576 MHz, Fs
3
= 9.6 kHz – chip default.
Upon reset, until a switch to the PLL based clock, Pllclk, occurs, the system clock will be at the crystal
frequency, Fxtal, and therefore the serial bit clock will be Sclk = Fsys/18 = Fxtal/18.
Examples:
1. If Fxtal
1
= 27.000 MHz, then sclk=1.500 MHz and Fs=sclk/256 = 5.859375 kHz.
2. If Fxtal
2
= 18.432 MHz, then sclk=1.024 MHz and Fs=sclk/256 = 4.00 kHz.
3. If Fxtal
3
= 24.576 MHz, then sclk=1.3653 MHz and Fs=sclk/256 = 5.33 kHz.
When 73M1903 is programmed through the serial port to a desired Fs and the PLL has settled out, the
system clock will transition to the PLL-based clock in a glitch-less manner.
Examples:
1. If Fs
1
= 7.2 kHz, Fsys = 4608 * Fs = 33.1776 MHz and sclk = Fsys / 18 = 1.8432 MHz.
2. If Fs
2
= 8.0 kHz, Fsys = 4608 * Fs = 36.8640 MHz and sclk = Fsys / 18 = 2.048 MHz.
3. If Fs
3
= 9.6 kHz, Fsys = 4608 * Fs = 44.2368 MHz and sclk = Fsys / 18 = 2.4576 MHz.
This transition is entirely controlled by the host. Upon reset or power down of PLL and/or analog front
end, the chip will automatically run off the crystal until the host forces the transition by setting a bit in a
designated serial port register – location bit 7, 0Eh. The transition should be forced on or after the
second Frame Synch period following the write to a designated PLL programming register (0Dh).
When reprogramming the PLL the host should first transition the system clock to the crystal before
reprogramming the PLL so that any transients associated with it will not adversely impact the serial port
communication.
Power saving is accomplished by disabling the analog front end by clearing bit 7 of CTRL1 (address 00h),
ENFE=0.
During the normal operation, a data
FS
is generated by the 73M1903 at the rate of Fs. For every data
FS
there are 16 bits transmitted and 16 bits received. The frame synchronization (FS) signal is pin
programmable for type.
FS
can either be early or late determined by the state of the TYPE input pin.
When the TYPE pin is left open, an early
FS
is generated in the bit clock prior to the first data bit
transmitted or received. When held low, a late FS operates as a chip select; the
FS
signal is active for all
bits that are transmitted or received. The TYPE input pin is sampled when the reset pin is active and
ignored at all other times. The final state of the TYPE pin as the reset pin is de-asserted determines the
frame synchronization mode used.
