DESCRIPTION
Texas Instrument’s analog front-end chip, the AFE1230, is
designed to greatly reduce the size and cost of G.SHDSL
and HDSL2 application designs. It provides a transceiver as
the line interface between the Digital Signal Processor
(DSP) and the local loop. The AFE1230 is designed to
handle upstream and downstream data transmission over a
wide range of data rates from 64kbps to 2.5Mbps. Functionally, this unit consists of a transmitter and receiver section.
The transmitter section consists of a digital interpolation
filter, a 16-bit, delta-sigma Digital-to-Analog (D/A) converter, a digitally programmable fifth-order or seventh-order

SC (Switched Capacitor) low-pass filter, and a differential
output line driver. The receiver section includes an input
Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA), a 16-bit, delta-sigma
Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter, and a programmable
decimation filter.
The AFE1230 receives a 16-bit data word plus an 8-bit control
byte via the serial interface to facilitate the D/A conversion
and control functions. The subsequent analog signal is sent to
the on-chip line driver that provides 14.5dBm power into a
135Ω line for G.SHDSL operation. In addition, the on-chip
line driver can be used as an output buffer with an external line
driver, such as the OPA2677, to generate over 17dBm power
into a 135Ω line for HDSL2 operation. With an appropriate
DSP, the transmitted Power Spectral Density (PSD) complies
with either the G.SHDSL standard or with the HDSL2 standard (via an OPA2677 used as an external driver).
In the receive path, the input amplifier sums the signals from
the line and hybrid path to perform first-order analog echo
cancellation. The resultant signal is then digitized by the rest
of the receive section into a 16-bit digital word that is sent to
the external DSP.
This IC operates on a single 5V supply, while the digital supply
can be from 3.3V to 5V. It is housed in a SSOP-28 package.
The typical power consumption is 750mW at E1 rates with
G.SHDSL (560mW for HDSL2 operation) and an operation
temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and
installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to
complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be
more susceptible to damage because very small parametric
changes could cause the device not to meet its published
specifications.

NOTES: (1) With a balanced differential signal, the positive input is 180° out-of-phase with the negative input, therefore, the actual voltage swing about the commonmode voltage on each pin is ±1.55V to achieve a total input range of ±3.1V or 6.2Vp-p. (2) The A/D converter oversamples the receive signal and outputs data words
at twice the symbol rate; the A/D converter conversion rate is called the Output Word Rate (OWR). (3) The digital low-pass filter that is part of the A/D converter can
be programmed by the user for a 3dB frequency of 1/2 of the OWR or 1/4 of the OWR. (4) The internal line driver is designed for G.SHDSL. (5) An external driver
(OPA2677) should be used for HDSL2 application. (6) The cutoff frequencies are user programmable. (7) Uncancelled echo is the sum of all noise and distortion
errors for both the transmit and receive channels. (8) For a random sequence of the symbol, using an internal driver providing 14.5dBm power to the line for G.SHDSL.
(9) For a random sequence while driving an external line driver (OPA2677) for HDSL2. (10) Functionality only guaranteed over temperature range.

signal is processed by a sinc5 filter as well as a programmable
IIR filter for droop compensation and additional quantization
noise reduction. The resulting digital signal is sent to the serial
interface for processing by the DSP.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AFE1230 consists of a transmitter and receiver section, as
shown in Figure 1; the transmitter section consists of a digital
interpolation filter, a 16-bit, delta-sigma D/A converter, a
programmable fifth-order or seventh-order SC low-pass filter,
and a differential output line driver. The receiver section
includes a digitally programmable gain amplifier, a 16-bit,
delta-sigma A/D converter, and a decimation filter. The
AFE1230 receives a 16-bit word plus an 8-bit control byte via
the serial interface to facilitate the D/A conversion and control
functions. The received 16-bit word is up sampled by two
through the digital interpolation filter, then oversampled by
the delta-sigma modulator by a factor of 12x where it is then
processed by the multilevel D/A converter section before being
filtered by the fifth-order or seventh-order Butterworth lowpass SC filter section.
Transmit Filter
The transmit filter consists of two sections, a digital interpolation filter and a programmable SC low-pass filter (SCLPF).
The interpolation filter is an anti-imaging low-pass filter.
The SCLPF serves two important functions. First it is
designed to remove quantization noise from the delta-sigma
D/A converter in the front end of the transmit path. Secondly, the filter is used to help shape the received digital
signal’s spectral density in conjunction with pre-spectral
shaping within the DSP. Depending on the particular response desired, the transmit filter section can be programmed
for three different breakpoints, as shown in Table 1, as well
as two filter order (fifth or seventh) configurations. The 3dB
frequency listed in Table I is in relation to the designed
breakpoint for the SC filter only. However, because the
digital signal is sampled and held for 24 more samples (the
AFE1230 increases the sample rate by 24x in relation to the
input data rate), the actual transmit spectral curves contain a
small amount of droop due to the sinc function performed by
the sample and hold function of the delta-sigma modulator
section of the transmit path. See Figures 2 and 3 for the
overall spectral templates.
The subsequent analog signal is sent to the on-chip line driver
where the analog signal can be driven into an appropriate
transformer to provide up to 14.5dBm power into a 135Ω line
for G.SHDSL. In addition, the on-chip line driver can be used
as an output buffer to generate 17dBm into a 135Ω line via an
external line driver (such as the OPA2677) for HDSL2. With an
appropriate DSP, the transmitted PSD complies with either the
G.SHDSL standard or, with an OPA2677 used as an external
driver, the HDSL2 standard.
In the receive path, the input amplifier sums the signals from the
line and hybrid paths to perform first-order analog echo cancellation. The resultant signal is then digitized by a fourth-order
cascaded delta-sigma A/D converter with an OSR
(OverSampling Ratio) of 24x. The subsequent oversampled

Receive Filter
The receive filter consists of three independent sections used
for both the removal of quantization noise as well as the
reduction of data rate (otherwise known as downsampling).
The first section is comprised of a sinc5 filter with a
downsampling ratio of 12x. The resulting digital signal is then
passed to a droop compensation filter before being sent
through the final IIR filter section, while being downsampled
by two. Two filter cutoff configurations are available, as seen
in Table II. The corresponding cutoff frequencies relate to the
full-rate low-pass filter spectral template of the filter, as seen
from the inputs of Table II.

Transmit Power
The on-chip differential line driver is designed to drive G.SHDSL
power levels directly, or it can be used as a low-power buffer for
driving a higher power external driver (for example the OPA2677)
for applications such as HDSL2. The AFE1230 driver will
generate an output swing of 6.2V peak-to-peak differential.
When used with a suitable transformer (see Figures 8 and 10),
the AFE1230 can generate up to 14.5dBm of power into a 135Ω
line load. When used as a buffer with an OPA2677 driver,
17dBm of power can be generated. Relative transmit power can
be controlled digitally through control bits sent to the transmit
section by the serial interface. Relative transmit power reduction
can be set to 0, –6, –12, or –18dB, depending on the control bits
presented to the AFE1230, as shown in Table III.

Receive Amplifier
The AFE1230 receive channel includes an input amplifier
with a differential summer junction on-chip for echo cancellation, as shown in Figure 4. Four external resistors are
needed with 10kΩ as the required value for each receiverinput pair as well as 20kΩ for each hybrid-input pair. The
common-mode voltage of the receive amplifier is AVDD/2
(typical value is 2.5V).
Serial Digital Interface Operation
The AFE1230 digital interface uses a five-line serial interface,
signal names are: Master Clock (MCLK), Transmit Baud
Clock (txBaud), Transmit Data (txData), Receive Baud Clock
(rxBaud), and Receive Data (rxData). MCLK, txBaud, rxBaud,
and txData must come from the external DSP where data is
transmitted in synchronization with MCLK. MCLK is used as
the internal master clock to the AFE1230 and can run up to
40.8MHz. txBaud and rxBaud must be the same frequency
and synchronous with MCLK, however, the phase of these
signals may be different. Each baud period contains 48
MCLK cycles. During each baud cycle, txData will contain
two 16-bit transmit words with two control bytes. Each bit is
latched internally to the AFE at the rising edge of MCLK.
Figures 5, 6, and 7 illustrate the bit designations as well as the
proper timings required to operate the AFE1230.
MCLK: The master clock of AFE1230 for both transmit
and receive sections, generated by the DSP. It runs at 48x the
symbol rate and can be varied from 1.28MHz to 40.8MHz
(37.12MHz for E1). MCLK must use a 50/50 duty cycle.
txBaud: The transmit data baud clock, generated by the
DSP. txBaud is 517.33kHz for T1 and 773.33kHz for E1
(2.3Mbps). It may vary from 26.7kHz to 850kHz. A txBaud
period consists of 48 periods of the MCLK. The time (tW) of
the txBaud should not be smaller than one MCLK period.
Within the period of 48 MCLK clocks, the rising edge of the
txBaud can occur any time except in the period of tF, and the
falling edge of txBaud can occur at any time of the tF period.
txData: The input digital data of AFE1230. This signal comes
from an external DSP with 48 bits per baud period. The 48 bits
include two 16-bit words of D/A converter input data and two
8-bit control bytes (see Tables IV and V). The D/A converter
is updated two times per symbol period and data is latched by
the AFE1230 on the rising edge of MCLK. txData must be
stable at least 2.5ns before the rising edge of MCLK and it must
remain stable at least 2.5ns after the rising edge of MCLK.
rxBaud: The receive data baud clock, generated by the DSP.
rxBaud is 517.33kHz for T1 and 773.33kHz for E1 (2.3Mbps).
It may vary from 26.7kHz to 850kHz. One rxBaud period
consists of 48 periods of the MCLK. Within the period of 48
MCLK clocks, the rising edge of the rxBaud can occur at any
time except in tF period, and the falling edge of rxBaud can
occur at any time during tF. The width of the rxBaud pulse
should be no shorter than one period of MCLK.
rxData: The output digital data of AFE1230, sent to the
external DSP with 48 bits per baud period. The 48 bits include
two 16-bit words of receive data and two 8-bit control words
(Reserved) (see Tables VI and VII). The A/D converter is
updated two times per symbol period and rxData is changed
by AFE1230 at the falling edge of MCLK. rxData is stable at
least 2.5ns before the rising edge of MCLK and it remains
stable at least 2.5ns after the rising edge of MCLK.

APPLICATIONS
AFE1230 BASIC APPLICATION CIRCUITS
There are two basic circuits for AFE1230 evaluation and
applications in this section. Figure 8 is a basic setting of a
135Ω line interface circuit, used to test the basic transmit and
receive functions as well as uncancelled echo of the AFE1230.
In the circuit, R1 and R2 are used to control far-end reflection
and maximize the energy exchange between the transmitter
and loop. The value of R1 and R2, (see Figure 8), is designed
to match a 135Ω line with turns ratio of 1:3.7 (device:line)
transformer from Midcom (51185 Rev6A). R4 and R6 are line
input resistors; 10kΩ is a suggested value. R3 and R5 are
hybrid input resistors that control the echo cancellation. The
two 53nF capacitors are used for external transmit low-pass
filters with a cutoff frequency about 600kHz.
When Figure 8 is used for uncancelled echo test, it provides
total noise measurement of AFE1230 transmit and receive
paths (this includes linearity error, distortion, and noise). The
measurement of uncancelled echo is made as follows: the
AFE1230 is connected to the external circuit (see Figure 8)
and the hybrid resistors can be different values. The line is
simulated by a 135Ω resistor. A symbol sequence is generated
by the tester and sent to both the AFE1230 and an external
adaptive filter. The symbol sequence through the transmit
path is then loopbacked to the hybrid input and line input.
Different loopback conditions are applied in the test, such as
line input disconnected, hybrid input disconnected, or 135Ω
resistor shorted. The output of the adaptive filter is subtracted
from the AFE1230 output to form the uncancelled echo
signal. Since there is no far-end signal source, or additive line
noise, the uncancelled echo contains only noise and linearity
errors generated in transmit and receive channels of the
AFE1230. The uncancelled echo is defined as a ratio of the
rms uncancelled echo to the rms voltage of the nominal
transmitted signal (for example 14.5dBm).
Figure 8 also shows a basic setting for G.SHDSL applications that can provide 14.5dBm power directly to a 135Ω
line. The typical performance is listed in Table X. A power
spectrum density of a random sequence through this circuit
with 30M bit rate is shown in Figure 9.

Figure 10 is a basic application circuit with an external driver
(OPA2677) to provide 17.3dBm power on a 135Ω loop for
HDSL2 transmission. The analog signal from the AFE1230
has 6.2V peak-to-peak voltage and is loaded by a 1kΩ resistor.
The OPA2677 is configured as a wideband power amplifier
with a constant AC gain of 2.8V and 17.3V peak-to-peak
output voltage. The output signal from the OPA2677 is filtered
to minimize noise by a tx RC low-pass filter with a cutoff
frequency of 600kHz. A 1:2.3 transformer from Midcom
(51440R Rev00) is used. The receive amplifier receives farend signals from the line through the line transformer with 2.3
times of step down. The line input resistors of the AFE1230
are set to 10kΩ. The basic resistor network hybrid circuit is
used to isolate transmit signals from receivers. The receive
low-pass filter (optional) performs bandlimit to the receive
signal to minimize aliasing. Table XI gives the line interface
basic performance for HDSL2.

In practice, the line impedance is changed with frequency
under the different loop conditions. An RC or RLC compromise network is generally inserted in the external hybrid path
to track the impedance over the frequency band interested. The
components of the compromise networks are adjustable for
minimizing far-end, near-end, and trans-hybrid reflections.
The coupling capacitance (0.1µF) on the tx and rx paths is
used for AFE evaluation only. With the DSL external hybrid
circuit, this capacitance should be adjusted.
AFE1230 Power Dissipation
When using the on-chip driver at E1 rates, 3.3V digital power
supply (5V analog power supply) for G.SHDSL operation,
with 14.5dBm power to the line, the AFE1230 power dissipation including both analog and digital circuitry is about
750mW. Most power dissipation on the chip is in the on-chip
driver and other analog circuitry (about 120mW power dissipation is from digital circuitry). Digital power dissipation is
reduced when the operating frequency decreases, but the
analog power dissipation stays the same with the frequency
changing. When an external driver (OPA2677) is used, the
power dissipation of the AFE1230 is about 560mW.

LAYOUT
The AFE1230 has two conflicting requirements: it must
accept and deliver high-speed digital signals and it must
generate, drive, and convert precision analog signals. To
achieve optimal system performance with the AFE1230,
both the digital and the analog sections must be treated
carefully in board layout design. The power supply for the
digital section of AFE1230 can range from 3.3V to 5V. This
supply should be decoupled to digital grounds with ceramic
0.1µF capacitors placed as close to the GNDD and DVDD
pins as possible. DVDD may be supplied by a wide-printed
circuit board trace. A digital ground plane underneath all
digital pins is strongly recommended. All GNDA pins should
be connected directly to a common analog ground plane and
12
all the AVDD pins should be connected to an analog 5V
power plane. Both of these planes should have a low impedance path to power supply. The analog power-supply pins
should be decoupled to analog grounds with ceramic 0.1µF
capacitors placed as close to the AFE1230 as possible. One
10µF tantalum capacitor should be used between the analog
supply and analog ground. Ideally, all ground planes and
traces and all power planes and traces should return to the
power connector before being connected together (if necessary). Each ground and power pair should be routed over
each other, and should not overlay any portion of another
pair, and the pairs should be separated by a distance of 0.25
inches (6mm) at least. One exception is that the digital and
analog ground planes should be connected together underneath the AFE1230 by a small trace.
