14 Number Repertory Dialler
SA2531AB
Key Features
VDPHV
Description
The SA2531AB is a CMOS integrated circuit
that contains all the functions needed to form
a high performance electronic telephone.
The device incorporates LD/MF repertory
dialling, melody generation, ring frequency
discrimination and a high quality line/speech
circuit.
A RAM is on chip for a 31 digit last number
redial and 14 memories each containing up to
21 digits/data.
The sliding cursor procedure makes the LNR
function easy to use under various PABX
systems.
The SAS2531AB incorporates a volume
control for the earpiece. The volume can be
controlled by the VOL key (+ 4 dB) or by the
+/– keys (+6 dB/-4 dB in 5 steps).
The versatility of the circuit is provided by on
chip programmability and a few external
components allowing easy adaptation to
different PTT requirements.

Power On Reset
The on chip power on reset circuit monitors the
supply voltage (VDD) during off-hook. When VDD
rises above approx. 1.2V, a power on reset occurs
which clears the RAM.
keep a low voltage drop at the LS pin during make
periods.
AC Impedance
The ac impedance of the circuit is set by mask
options and an external capacitor. The impedance
can be real or complex. Return loss and side tone
cancellation can be determined independent of
each other (see figure 1).
DC Conditions
The normal operating range is from 13 mA to 100
mA. Operating range with reduced performance is
from 5 mA to 13 mA (parallel operation). In the
operating range all functions are operational. At line
currents below 13 mA the SA2531 provides an
additional slope below 4.5V in order to allow
parallel operation (see figure 7). The dc
characteristic
(excluding
diode
bridge)
is
determined by the voltage at LI and the resistor R1
at line currents above 13 mA as follows:
Speech Circuit
The speech circuit consists of a transmit and a
receive path with dual soft clipping, mute, line loss
compensation and sidetone cancellation.
Transmit
The gain of the transmit path is 35 dB for 600 Ohm
and 37 dB for 1000 Ohm from M1/M2 to LS (see
test circuit figure 2). The microphone input is
differential with an input impedance of 25 kOhm.
The soft clip circuit limits the output voltage at LI to
2V
PEAK
(see figure 5 and 6). The attack time is 30
ms/6 dB and the decay time is 20ms/6dB

The voltage at LI is 4.5V.
During pulse dialling the speech circuit and other
part of the device not operating is in a power down
mode to save current. The CS pin is pulled to VSS
in order to turn the external shunt transistor on to

Receive
The gain of the receive path is 2 dB for 600 Ohm
and 0 dB for 1000 Ohm (see test circuit figure 2)
with differential outputs, RO1/RO2. The receive
input is the differential signal of RI and STB. When
mute is active during dialling the gain is reduced by
> 60 dB. During DTMF dialling a MF comfort tone is
applied to the receiver. The comfort tone is the
DTMF signal with a level that is approximately -30
dB relative to the line signal.
The receive gain can be changed by pressing the
volume keys. The
VOL
key gives a +4 dB boost
and has a toggle function, i.e. repressing the key
resets the gain to default. Alternatively the
+/–
keys
can be used. The
+
key increases the gain by 6 dB
in 3 steps and the
–
key decreases the gain by 4
dB in 2 steps. The gain is reset by next off-hook.

mA when LLC = low and 45 to 75 mA when LLC =
high (@ R1 = 30 Ohm).
The line loss compensation is disabled when LLC =
open (see figure 3 and 4).
Dialling Functions
Valid Keys
The key scanning is enabled when HS/DPN is
pulled high and VDD is above VREF. A valid key is
detected from the keyboard by connecting the
appropriate row to the column (RON 1 kOhm). This
can be done using an n x m keyboard matrix with
single contacts. Four diodes are used to extend the
number of rows (see keyboard arrangement 1 and
2). It is also possible to connect a µ-controller to the
rows and columns.
Sidetone
A good sidetone cancellation is achieved by using
the following equation:
Mute Key
The
MUTE
key is enabled in speech mode only.
Depressing the
MUTE
key mutes the microphone
amplifier. Repressing the
MUTE
key deactivates
the mute (toggle function). Any key entry overwrites
a mute activated by the
MUTE
key and mute will be
deactivated. When privacy mute is activated, a
reminder tone is applied to the earpiece.
Z
BAL

LINE
=R5/R1
The sidetone cancellation signal is applied to the
STB input.
Dial Mode Selection
The default mode (LD or MF) can be selected by
the mode pin. When default LD mode is selected, a
temporary change to MF can be invoked by
pressing the
*
key (a metal mask option is available
whereby the MF tone generated is generated on
the first
*
key).
The circuit will revert to LD by pressing the
R
(or
R2)
key or by next onhook.
When MF mode is selected by the mode pin, the
circuit can not be changed temporary to LD but will
remain in MF.
Last Number Redial
LNR is a facility that allows re-signalling of the last
manually dialled number without keying in all the
digits again. The LNR is repeatable.
The current contents of the RAM are overwritten by
new entries.
A manually entered number is automatically stored
in the LNR RAM. The capacity of the RAM is 31
digits. If a number greater than 31 digits is entered,
the LNR facility will be inhibited (until new entries <
32 digits) and further entries will be buffered in
FIFO. Pauses can be inserted by pressing the
PAUSE
key. Post dialled digits, i.e. digits manually
entered after LNR has been invoked, are not stored
in RAM but buffered in FIFO.

Double Balance Bridge as shown in figure 1.
Line Loss Compensation
The line loss compensation is a pin option. When it
is activated, the transmit and receive gains are
decreased by 6 dB at line currents from 20 to 50
