Overview
The 3V Single-Rail Codec features complete Analog/
Digital and Digital/Analog conversion of audio
signals (Filter/Codec) and an analog interface to a
standard analog transmitter and receiver (analog
Interface). The receiver amplifier is capable of
driving a 20k ohm load.
MT91L62
Companding law selection for the Filter/Codec is
provided by the A/µ companding control pin. Table
1 illustrates these choices.

Functional Description
Filter/Codec
The Filter/Codec block implements conversion of the
analog 0-3.3 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 programmable. These are ITU-T
G.711 A-law or
µ-Law,
with true-sign/Alternate Digit
Inversion.
The Filter/Codec block also implements a transmit
audio path gain in the analog domain. Figure 3
depicts the nominal half-channel for the MT91L62.
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 3 volt supply
design. This fully differential architecture is
continued into the Analog Interface section to
provide full chip realization of these capabilities for
the external 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 setting amplifiers. A 0.1µF
capacitor must be connected from V
Bias
to analog
ground at all times. Likewise, although V
Ref
may only
be used internally, a 0.1µF 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.
The transmit filter is designed to meet ITU-T G.714
specifications. An anti-aliasing filter is included. This
is a second order lowpass implementation with a
corner frequency at 25 kHz.
The receive filter is designed to meet ITU-T G.714
specifications. Filter response is peaked to
compensate for the sinx/x attenuation caused by the
8 kHz sampling rate.

Analog Interfaces
Standard interfaces are provided by the MT91L62.
These are:
• The analog inputs (transmitter), pins AIN+/AIN-.
The maximum peak to peak input is 2.123Vpp
µ−law
across AIN+/AIN-
and 2.2Vpp A-law
across these pins.
• The analog outputs (receiver), pins AOUT+/
AOUT-. This
internally
compensated
fully
differential output driver is capable of driving a
load of 20k ohms.
PCM Serial Interface
A serial link is required to transport data between the
MT91L62 and an external digital transmission
device. The MT91L62 utilizes the strobed data
interface found on many standard Codec devices.
This interface is commonly referred to as Simple
Serial Interface (SSI).
The bit clock rate is selected by setting the CSL2-0
control pins as shown in Figure 2.
Quiet Code
The PCM serial port can be made to send quiet code
to the decoder and receive filter path by setting the
RxMute pin high. Likewise, the PCM serial port will
send quiet code in the transmit path when the

Advance Information
In SSI mode the MT91L62 supports only B-Channel
operation. Hence, in SSI mode transmit and receive
B-Channel data are always in the channel defined by
the STB input.
The data strobe input STB determines the 8-bit
timeslot used by the device for both transmit and
receive data. This is an active high signal with an 8
kHz repetition rate.
SSI operation is separated into two categories based
upon the data rate of the available bit clock. If the bit
clock is 512 kHz or greater then it is used directly by
the
internal
MT91L62
functions
allowing
synchronous operation. If the available bit clock is
128 kHz or 256 kHz, then a 4096 kHz master clock is
required to derive clocks for the internal MT91L62
functions.
Applications where Bit Clock (BCL) is below 512 kHz
are designated as asynchronous. The MT91L62 will
re-align its internal clocks to allow operation when
the external master and bit clocks are asynchronous.
Control pins CSL2, CSL1 and CSL0 are used to
program the bit rates.
For synchronous operation, data is sampled from
Din, on the falling edge of BCL during the time slot
defined by the STB input. Data is made available, on

their respective paths function normally. The -Zero
entry of Table 1 is used for the quiet code definition.
SSI Mode
The SSI BUS consists of input and output serial data
streams named Din and Dout respectively, a Clock
input signal (CLOCKin), and a framing strobe input
(STB). A 4.096 MHz master clock is also required for
SSI operation if the bit clock is less than 512 kHz.
The timing requirements for SSI are shown in
Figures 5 & 6.

Advance Information
Dout, on the rising edge of BCL during the time slot
defined by the STB input. Dout is tri-stated at all
times when STB is not true. If STB is valid, then quiet
code will be transmitted on Dout during the valid
strobe period. There is no frame delay through the
PCM serial circuit for synchronous operation.
For asynchronous operation Dout and Din are as
defined for synchronous operation except that the
allowed output jitter on Dout is larger. This is due to
the resynchronization circuitry activity and will not
affect operation since the bit cell period at 128 kb/s
and 256 kb/s is relatively large. There is a one frame
delay through the PCM serial circuit for
asynchronous operation. Refer to the specifications
of Figures 5 & 6 for both synchronous and
asynchronous SSI timing.
PWRST
While the MT91L62 is held in PWRST no device
