ACE9040 provides all the speech signal processing and
data/SAT tone filtering needed for AMPS or TACS analog
cellular telephones.
Transmit voice channel functions comprise a microphone
amplifier, soft limiter, bandpass filter, compressor, hard
limiter, lowpass filter and a gain controlled amplifier to set
deviation level. Additional transmit circuits include a DTMF
generator, data and SAT filters, deviation setting amplifiers for
data/ST and SAT and a modulation combiner.
ACE9040’s receive path comprises a bandpass filter,
expander, volume control and power amplifiers to directly
drive an earpiece or handsfree transducer.
Gain settings, mute switches and filter characteristics are
programmed via a three wire serial interface.
To implement a handsfree function, both transmit and
receive paths have rectifiers for signal amplitude monitoring
via an external pin and signal path attenuators controlled via
the serial interface.
ACE9040 combines minimum power consumption with
low external component count. Standby modes greatly reduce
supply current and extend battery charge intervals.
Note: Pin 1 is identified by moulded spot and
by coding orientation. (* 7 x 7 mm package and
10 x10 mm package pinouts on page 3)

ACE9040
Description
ACE9040 combines all the voice, data and signalling
processing circuits for analog cellular telephones operating
with the AMPS or TACS systems.
Transmit channel functions comprise a microphone
amplifier, soft limiter, bandpass speech filter, compressor,
pre-emphasis filter, hard limiter, lowpass transmit filter and a
gain control stage to set the deviation. Additional transmit
circuits include a DTMF generator, a lowpass filter for either
control data or signalling tone (ST), filters for supervisory
audio tone (SAT), either transponded or locally re-generated,
and deviation setting amplifiers for Data, ST and SAT. The
outputs from the transmit functions feed a modulation
combiner whose gain can be adjusted before driving a
modulator and external power amplifier.
ACE9040’s receive path consists of a bandpass filter,
expander, volume control and power amplifier to directly drive
the earpiece, either differentially or in single ended modes.
Sidetone and DTMF tones can be introduced into the receive
path.
Gain settings, filter characteristics and system control is
programmed via a three wire serial interface to give optimum
operation with either the AMPS or TACS analog cellular
systems.
To implement a handsfree function, both transmit and
receive paths have rectifiers which enable signal amplitude
monitoring via an external pin and signal path attenuators
controlled via the serial interface.
All filter characteristics are set by ratioed on-chip
components and by a fixed externally input clock rate of
1·008 MHz and do not need trimming, filter response options
are selected via the serial interface.
Gain adjustments for different system specifications and
component tolerancing are set via the serial interface using
gain control blocks in the transmit and receive signal paths.
These eliminate the need for any mechanically adjusted
potentiometers. Some gain levels change automatically when
the control bits for one of the standards are set, others are
under user control.
Power saving operates when an individual block is deselected and for the whole circuit when in Standby. The circuit
combines high performance with minimum power
consumption and uses as few external components as
possible.
Serial Control Bus
All functions are controlled via a three wire serial
interface. Input is via pins SD for serial data, SCLK for the clock
input and LEN for the control message latch signal.
Incoming data bits are clocked in on the rising edges of
SCLK clock input. At the end of each control message
comprising three 8-bit data bytes, the rising edge of the LEN
pulse latches in the data. A system controller should clock
data out on clock falling edges to ensure the maximum timing
margins.
The SCLK clock input must be at 1·008 MHz and
continuous whenever the ACE9040 is active because
ACE9040’s switched capacitor filters use clocks derived from
SCLK to set frequency responses.
ACE9040 expects a minimum of 30 clock cycles between
LEN latch pulses, including the clock cycle containing the latch
pulse. A minimum of 8 clock cycles before the beginning of an
Operate command or after a Standby command are expected.
Three data bytes DATA1, DATA2, and DATA3 contain
bits for system selection, control and mute switches, gain
control and filter response settings, as shown in figure 10. The
last two bits of DATA3, DATA3[1] and [0], determine the
message type, either “Operation”, “Initializing mode 0”,
“Initializing mode 1” or “Handsfree”. The details of these four
modes are described in tables 2 to 19.

ACE9040
Advance Information
Circuit Operating Modes
ACE9040 has three operating modes: Operate, Standby
and Sleep. In Operate mode all parts of the circuit are active,
except for any explicitly powered down and the DTMF generator which only powers up when tones are generated. The pin
STBY is pulled high in Operate mode to supply V DD to external
audio circuits, such as a compander.
Power on Reset
At power up ACE9040 is put into Standby mode.
ACE9040 is set up by the controlling processor via the serial
interface using four control messages: “Operation”, “Initializing mode 0”, “Initializing mode 1” and “Handsfree”. Usually
the “Operation” control message would be sent last as it
contains the power down/up bit PD.
Standby Mode
Standby mode is used when the cellular terminal is
waiting for a call and is selected by an “Operation mode”
control message with bit PD at “1”. In this mode all analog
circuits, data paths, filters and their clock drivers are powered
down giving a greatly reduced supply current. In standby
mode all switch and level controls retain their previous state,
the pin STBY is not driven removing the V DD supply from
external circuits. To leave Standby mode an operate command should be given by using an “Operation mode” control
message with bit PD at “0”.
CELLULAR SYSTEM SELECTION
Two control bits are used to set the filter responses and
gain levels for the AMPS or TACS cellular systems. These bits
are TACS in control message “Initializing mode 1” and AMPS
in control message “Handsfree mode” and select the system
as shown in table 19.

Sleep Mode
Sleep mode is the same as Standby but without a clock
input. To enter sleep mode the standby command should be
given and after a delay of at least 20 µs the SCLK clock
stopped. To wake-up from sleep mode, the the SCLK clock
must be started and after a delay of at least 100 µs an operate
command given.

Transmit Input Signal Preconditioning
Microphone Amplifier (MIG)
Handsfree Functional Blocks
Microphone signals input at MI via switch MLI are
amplified by a gain selectable amplifier of either 22 dB or
32 dB, controlled by the MIG bit in the “Handsfree mode”
control message. The microphone amplifier’s input can also
be connected to the line input LI via the MLI switch. The
microphone amplifier’s output drives the soft limiter via switch
MIS which also allows higher level signals from the line input
LI to bypass the microphone amplifier to drive the soft limiter
directly. These two switches are controlled by the MIS and MIL
bits in the “Operation mode” control message.
Between the transmit bandpass filter and the compressor
two extra functions are included for use with handsfree
operation. Firstly an attenuator HFGAIN is provided to give
progressive signal reduction in handsfree mode with a range
of 0 to - 49 dB in 7 dB steps, set by bits THF[2:0] in the
“Handsfree mode” control message. The HFGAIN
attenuator’s output drives pin TBPO which is externally
capacitively coupled to the compressor input at pin CIN and
internally drives both the soft limiter and sidetone circuits.
The second function provided for handsfree operation is
a signal rectifier whose output, filtered by an external capacitor
at pin TXC, drives output pin HF via switch HFS with a d.c.
transmit level. Switch HFS is controlled by bit HFS in the
“Handsfree mode” control message. Under control of bit HFS
both receive and transmit levels are available at HF output pin
for external comparison to implement the handsfree function.
The handsfree system is further described in the section
Handsfree Operation.
Soft Limiter
Signal amplitude is restricted without clipping to the
correct level for maximum F.M. deviation by the soft limiter.
This operates as an AGC system, controlled by the signal
amplitude at the compressor input and the hard limiter output
later in the signal processing path. If the signal is too large at
either of these points the soft limiter forward gain is reduced.
The nominal soft limiter gain range of 0 to - 30 dB in 64 steps
of 0·5 dB covers all normal volume changes occuring during
a conversation. Soft limiter attack and decay times are set by
internal clocks derived from SCLK and ramp the gain steps at
nominal rates of one step down every 40 µs when the signal
is too large and one step up every 1·68 ms when the signal is
too small.
The soft limiter output at pin SLO is externally coupled
with a capacitor to the input pin IPS of the following gain adjust
stage, INPSENSE. When the speech channel is used to send
DTMF signalling tones a switch, controlled by bit DTMFM in
the “Operation mode” control message, selects the internal
DTMF signal rather than the speech signal at input IPS.
For test purposes TEST[1:0] bits in the “Initializing Mode
1” control message can configure switches to give access to
the softlimiter comparator inputs. When TEST[1:0] bits are
high the 3 & 97 % window comparator is switched from the
hard limiter output to PREIN input and the 92 % comparator is
switched to IPS input.
Inpsense Amplifier and TXBPF Filter
Both microphone and transmit voice path tolerances are
trimmed in the INPSENSE gain adjustment block following the
soft limiter and DTMF switch. INPSENSE has a nominal gain
of 8·0 dB with a trim range of - 12·0 to + 12·4 dB relative to the
nominal gain set by bits INPS[4:0] in the “Initializing mode”
control message.
Transmit signal preconditioning is completed by a bandpass filter TXBPF to limit the audio signal to a speech
bandwidth of 300 Hz to 3·4 kHz. This filter uses switched
capacitor techniques and is preceded by an anti-alias filter and
followed by a smoothing filter to remove the clock from its
output. The typical frequency response is shown in figure 4
which also shows the mask defined by type approval limits.

Compressor
ACE9040 provides a 2:1 compressor to halve the transmit
dynamic range as required by analog cellular systems. Within
the operating signal range each 2 dB change in input level
gives a 1 dB change in output level. A transmit signal is input
through pin CIN and output on pin COUT, the signal is
referenced to a mid-supply voltage. CRCIN and CRCOUT are
connections for the external attack and delay time constant
setting components.
The compressor’s nominal unity gain level is 707 mV.
Above this level the signal at CIN is attenuated and below this
level the signal is amplified to achieve the 2:1 dB compression.
Table 20 gives the nominal, Vmax and Vmin levels at CIN and
nominal levels at COUT corresponding with the TACS and
AMPS systems for 0 dB, maximum and minimum deviation.
The gain of the INPSENSE amplifier should be set so that
the compressor operates within these signal levels for a given
input signal at the MIC or LI input.
For the usual attack time of 3·0 ms and decay time of
13·5 ms a 180 kΩ resistor is connected between CRCIN and
CRCOUT pins and a 100 nF capacitor between CRCIN and
GND pins. An 82 nF capacitor should be connected between
the VMIDTX and GND pins. Attack and decay time is
measured with a 12 dB step, - 8 dB to - 20 dB relative to the
unaffected level. Attack and decay times are respectively
defined at points on the output envelope where it reaches
x 1·5 and x 0·75 of the final steady state level.
External compressor connections allow the use of
external coupling capacitors to remove d.c. offsets and
optionally an external compander. The compressor can be
internally bypassed allowing use of ACE9040 without
companding in non-cellular applications, or for test purposes.
Bits COMP[2:1] in the “Initializing mode 0” control message
control the operation of the internal compander and are used
to switch both the transmit compressor and receive expander
into or out of the signal path. When not in use the internal
compressor and expander are both powered down.

Final Modulation Preparation
Pre-emphasis
“V485”. For the nominal supply voltages of 4.85 V and 3.75 V
gain is respectively 16 dB (V485 pin at “1”) and 13.5 dB (V485
pin at “0”). An 8 dB attenuator follows the limiter to prevent any
further clipping of the signal in the following transmit lowpass
filter.
A pre-emphasis filter follows the compressor to boost
the amplitude of higher audio frequencies by tilting the frequency response by 6 dB per octave across the whole speech
band as shown in figures 5 and 8. To prevent overload in the
pre-emphasis filter the signal first passes through an
attenuator set to suit the system in use. If an external
compander is used or the companding function is bypassed
the gain is set to 0 dB. When using the internal compander the
gain is set to – 7 dB for TACS or – 11·0 dB for AMPS.
Compander bypass is determined by control bits COMP[2:1].
The pre-emphasis filter and attenuator input is pin PREIN and
the output is an internal connection to the hard limiter. The preemphasis filter, but not the attenuator, can be bypassed if the
PREEMPH bit in the “Operation mode” control message is set
to “1”.
A TXLPF lowpass filter with an optimised stop band
response limits the signal bandwidth to a cut-off frequency of
3·0 kHz, the frequency response is shown in figure 6. The
combined frequency response of the pre-emphasis and
lowpass filter stages is shown in figure 8. It is possible for test
purposes to bypass this lowpass filter by setting bit TEST[0] in
the “Initializing mode 1” control message to a “1”.
Hard Limiter
Speech Deviation Level Setting
To ensure compliance with the peak deviation specification for cellular telephone systems, a hard limiter follows the
pre-emphasis filter to remove any transient level changes that
have passed through the soft limiter. This limiter will handle
large signals and has symmetrical clipping levels close to the
supply rails VDD & VSS (GND). To ensure clipping at the same
hard limiter input signal level with both the nominal power
supply voltages, hard limiter gain is adjusted by an external pin
A controlled gain stage AUDIODEV sets the output level
to give the required FM deviation for speech. The gain is set
by bits AUDEV[3:0] in the “Initializing mode 1” control message. AUDIODEV is followed by a transmit audio mute switch
enabled by bit TXM in the “Operation mode” control message.
A buffer drives output pin TLPO with the transmit speech
signal (and DTMF when in use) which is added with DATA/ST
and SAT tones in the modulation combiner.

Transmit Data
Data communication from mobile terminals to base
stations in the AMPS and TACS cellular phone systems takes
place over the Reverse Control Channel (RECC) during call
set-up and in short bursts over the Reverse Voice Channel
(RVC) during a call.
RECC or RVC data is transmitted for AMPS or TACS as
a 10 kHz or 8 kHz Manchester Coded FSK signal
22
respectively. The data signal is generated by the ACE9050
“System Controller and Data Modem” or similar digital circuit
to drive ACE9040’s DATI input pin. The DATI input data signal
is filtered using a 4th order Butterworth lowpass filter with
nominal - 3 dB points of 16 kHz for TACS, or 20 kHz for
AMPS. This filter is implemented using switched capacitor
techniques and is preceded by a continuous time anti-alias
Advance Information
filter, the output buffer includes a clock rejection filter. The cutoff frequencies are programmed by bits DATAF[1:0] in the
“Initializing mode 1” control message. Filtered data passes
through the mute switch DATM and a variable gain stage
DATADEV with a range of – 2·8 to + 3·2 dB to set the required
level of deviation. The mute switch is controlled by bit DATM
in the “Operation mode” control message. DATADEV is
controlled by bits DATD[3:0] in the “Initialising Mode 1” control
message. The data signal is buffered out to pin DATO to drive
the modulation combiner.
DTMF
DTMF tones are generated when commanded via the
serial interface and conform to the standard CCITT
frequencies. All 16 standard tone pairs or any individual tone
can be generated. To select DTMF tones data bits for
transmission DTMFEN, DTMFMODE[1:0] and DTMF[3:0]
need to be set using an “Operation mode” control message.
Data bits DTMFMODE[1:0] select low, high or both tones of
the pair as shown in table 6. Bits DTMF[3:0] select the tone
pair as shown in table 7. DTMFEN set to “1” enables DTMF
ACE9040
operation. To change DTMF tones, an “Operation mode”
control message with DTMFEN set to “0” must be sent to
cancel the previous selection as the DTMF tone can only be
changed when DTMFEN=0. This prevents any spurious
tones being generated.
An optional pre-emphasis of 2 dB of the high frequency
tone group above the level of the low frequency group is
enabled by bit DTWIST in the “Initializing mode 0” control
message.
DTMF tones can be selected to replace the speech in
either or both the transmit and receive paths. In the transmit
path setting bit DTMFM to “1” as in the “Operation mode”
control message will connect the DTMF signal to INPSENSE
gain adjustment block’s input in place of the speech signal. In
the receive path setting bit TONEM to “1” in the “Operation
mode” control message will connect the DTMF signal to the
input to RXSENSE gain adjustment block in place of the
speech input at pin RXI. In each case the DTMFEN bit must
also be “1”.
DTMF signals are generated as sinewaves by an internal
digital to analog converter and are smoothed by the transmit
and receive filters. DTMF waveforms start and stop at a zero
crossing to avoid transients in the filters and to limit their
bandwidth. The DTMF signal is brought out directly on pin
DTMF without further buffering.
The DTMF generator is powered down whenever a tone
is not being generated, by setting DTMFMODE[1:0] to “00”.

Re-transmitted SAT
ACE9040 provides two alternative paths for Supervisory
Audio Tones (SAT). The first of these re-transmits the
received SAT tone to the base station after narrow band
filtering and providing signal level adjustment. This path is
selected by setting SATS bit to “0” in the “Initializing mode 1”
control message. The baseband signal from the receiver FM
discriminator drives the ACE9040 through the RSI pin into the
RXSAT 6 kHz bandpass filter required for AMPS or TACS.
The recovered SAT signal then passes through a 10 dB
amplifier and the SATS selector switch to the deviation setting
amplifier SATDEV. This is controlled by bits SATD[4:0] in the
“Initializing mode 0” control message. SAT then passes
through the SATM mute switch, controlled by bit SATM in the
“Operation mode” control message, to output pin TSO for
input to the modulation combiner.
Regenerated SAT
The alternative SAT path externally measures the SAT
frequency and generates a local tone to match. This route is
23
ACE9040
Advance Information
selected by setting the SATS bit to “1” in the “Initializing
mode 1” control message. The ACE9040 connects the receive
filter RXSAT output through a Schmitt trigger to drive pin RSO
with a logic level version of the received SAT. A system
controller, such as an ACE9050, detects the frequency and
generates a digital signal to drive back into the ACE9040 on
pin TSI. After the signal level is reduced by -12 dB a 6 kHz
bandpass filter TXSAT converts this square-wave into a
sinewave. This is followed by a - 15 dB attenuator to reduce
the near logic level signal to a normal modulation level. This
signal drives the same SATDEV deviation setting stage and
mute switch SATM as the returned signal to give an output at
TSO.
Base Station Originated SAT
ACE9050, System Controller, can be used to generate a
squarewave SAT at 6 kHz which is input to pin TSI and filtered
by the TXSAT filter and output at TSO. The RXSAT filter path
with its output at RSO, can be used to filter the received SAT
from a mobile for verification by an external frequency detector
that the mobile is transponding the correct tone. This is the

Figure 14 - Transmit Signal Combining Network and Modulation Driver
Used to modulate the transmitted r.f. output, the speech
and optional DTMF signals at TLPO, SAT at TSO, and data
and ST at DATO, are combined using an internal op-amp. This
op-amp has an inverting input at pin SUMI and output at pin
SUMO, the non-inverting input is internally biased to VMID.
With an external feedback resistor between SUMI and SUMO,
external resistors sum the inputs into pin SUMI and are chosen
for each different cellular system to select the relative and
absolute gains to give the correct deviation for each component of the modulation. Individual fine adjustments to take out
24
component value tolerances can be made by setting:
AUDIODEV, SATDEV and DATADEV gains, described in
more detail in the sections TRANSMIT VOICE PATH,
TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE SAT PATHS, and TRANSMIT
DATA AND DTMF PATHS. A fine adjustment is made to the
combined signal level by TXSENSE which drives the modulator through pin MOD. The gain of TXSENSE is set by bits
TXSEN[3:0] in the “Initializing mode 1” control message over
the range – 2·8 to + 3·2 dB.

Figure 15 - Receive Voice Path
De-emphasis and Receive Signal Input
Demodulated FM signals drive the RXI input pin via an
external de-emphasis lowpass R-C filter of typically 180 kΩ
and 10 nF. With TONEM switch set to RXI the input signal is
amplified in the block RXSENSE with a gain of + 8 dB.
RXSENSE also provides fine adjustment over a range of
- 6·0 dB to + 6·4 dB to take up signal level tolerances in the
receiver output. Fine gain adjustment is controlled by
RXSEN[4:0] bits in the “Initializing mode 0” control message.
When the DTMF generator in the transmit section is in use
its output can be switched into the receive path to replace the
RXI signal by setting bit TONEM in the “Operation mode”
control message to “1”. This does not affect the transmitted
signal but allows the user to hear DTMF tones to confirm key
press operation.
ACE9040’s companion device “ACE9030: Radio Interface
and Twin Synthesiser” are bandlimited by its output filter and
ACE9040’s internal DTMF tones are generated as sinewaves
without the need for a further anti-aliasing filiter.
RXBPF filter output passes through the receive mute
switch controlled by bit RXM in the “Operation mode” control
message and is buffered to drive pin RBPO by amplifier
EXPGAIN. During mute the RBPO pin is driven to the signal
ground voltage at mid supply (as found on pin BIAS).
EXPGAIN gain is nominally 12.3 dB when using the internal
expander and 0 dB when using an external expander. The
output circuit driving RBPO includes a smoothing filter to
remove clock noise.
Expander
RX Bandpass Filter
The RXSENSE amplifier’s output is bandpass filtered to
the speech bandwidth of 300 to 3400 Hz by receive bandpass
filter RXBPF, as shown in figure 7. RXBPF uses switched
capacitor filter techniques but does not include an anti-alias
input filter as signals at RXI from the external receiver’s output
and the internal DTMF generator’s output are already
bandlimited. The F.M. discriminator output signals from
Input to the expander at pin EIN is coupled by an external
capacitor from RBPO to remove any d.c. voltage offsets.
Using external coupling also allows the option of using an
external compander or bypassing the expander if a linear
system is required. In either case the signal should feed back
into ACE9040 at pin HFGIN. ACE9040’s compander can be
bypassed by setting bits COMP[2:1] in the “Initializing mode 0”
control message to “00”.
A ring tone from the BAR (Beep, Alarm, Ring) generator
of ACE9050 “System Controller” can be added to the

expander input EIN by using an external summing network
and internally open circuiting the drive to pin RBPO during the
tone (not just muting the speech). This is achieved with bits
COMP[2:1] in the “Initializing mode 0” control message set to
“01”.
Signal dynamic range at input pin EIN is doubled in the 1:2
expander to restore the original signal. Within the operating
signal range each 1 dB change in input level gives a 2 dB
change in output level. The expander output drives pin EOUT
which is coupled by an external capacitor to the input pin
HFGIN. The external connection allows use of an external
compander and removes any d.c. voltage offsets. Bits
COMP[2:1] in the “Initializing mode 0” control message can be
used to select external companding mode and power down
the internal compressor and expander.
The expander’s unity gain level EIN to EOUT is 1V. Above
this level gain is applied to the signal at EIN and below this
level the signal is attenuated to achieve 1:2 dB expansion.
Table 21 gives nominal, Vmax and Vmin levels at EIN and
nominal levels at EOUT corresponding with the TACS and
AMPS systems for 0 dB, maximum and minimum deviation.
The gain of the RXSENSE amplifier should be set so that
the expander operates within these signal levels for a given
demodulated signal range at the RXI input.
Expander pins ERCIN and ERCOUT are used to set the
attack and decay times for the expansion process. For the
usual attack time of 3.0 ms and decay time of 13.5 ms, a
resistor of 180 k Ω is connected between ERCIN and
ERCOUT pins and a capacitor of 100 nF from ERCIN to GND.
An 82 nF capacitor should be connected between VMIDRX
and GND. Attack and decay time is measured with a 6 dB
step, - 4 dB to - 10 dB relative to the unaffected level. Attack
and decay times are defined respectively at points on the
output envelope where it reaches x 0.57 and x 1.5 of the final
steady state level.
Volume Control and Handsfree Attenuator
Two variable gain stages follow the expander, RXLEVEL
for the volume control and HFATTEN for use with handsfree
mode. Both blocks provide attenuation, expressed as gain to
assist system level design, RXLEVEL from 0 to - 21 dB and
HFATTEN from 0 to - 49 dB. RXLEVEL is controlled by bits
RXV[2:0] in the “Operation mode” control message and
HFATTEN is controlled by bits RHF[2:0] in the “Handsfree
mode” control message.
2·8 to + 3·2 dB. A sidetone signal from the output of the
handsfree attenuator HFGAIN at pin TBPO is added at
EARSENSE's input if bit SD in the “Initializing mode 0” control
message is set to “1”. The output of this block is at pin EAMPI.
The signal at pin EAMPI is amplified by an opamp whose
gain is set by external resistors, allowing overall gain setting
for different models of cellular terminal. A resistor is connected
from EAMPI to the amplifier input pin EAMPFB and a feedback
resistor is connected from the amplifier output EAMPO to
EAMPFB. The ratio of these two resistors sets the gain and the
opamp’s output including feedback resistors should not be
loaded with less than 15 kΩ. Additional filtering can also be
added to the receive path using the EAMP opamp.
Earpiece
The earpiece drivers have outputs at pins EPOP and
EPON. One of three modes of output drive or a muted output
condition is selected by bits EPH1 and EPH0, see table 5.
A dynamic earpiece, typically of 150 Ω resistance in
series with 800 µH, can be driven when connected between
pin EPON and EPOP. The drive mode can be either differential (EPH1 = 1, EPH0 = 1) or single ended (EPH1 = 1,
EPH0 = 0). The differential output, drives a minimum of 4 Vpp
into the load. The single ended output appears at EPON and
drives a minimum of 2 Vpp into a load referenced to pin EPOP,
which provides an output voltage at mid-supply.
Output drive is setup for an external handsfree earpiece
with EPH1 = 0 and EPH0 = 1. This load, typically of 64 Ω
resistance in series with 3.3 µF, is driven from pin EPON to
ground and the EPOP output is put into a high impedance
state. The minimum drive into this load is 1.1 Vpp.
The input for the EPOP and EPON output drivers is driven
by the signal at the EAMPO pin for single ended and differential outputs or from EAMPI directly for a handsfree earpiece,
bypassing the EAMP opamp. The gain from the earpiece
drivers’ common input, to both EPON's inverting and and
EPOP's non-inverting outputs, is nominally + 6 dB.
Line Output
Line output amplifier LODRIVE with its output at pin LO
has a gain of + 5 dB and is used to drive an external audio
power amplifier. LODRIVE can drive a 1 kΩ load with a
minimum of 1 Vrms. The LO output can be put into a high
impedance state by setting bit HIZ in the “Operation mode”
control message to “0”. During power down EPON and EPOP
and LO are tied to mid-supply voltage.
RX Audio Output: Line Output and Earpiece
Following the handfree attenuator the signal path splits
into two parallel paths: a line output for loudspeaking phones
and drivers for a dynamic earpiece or external handsfree
earpiece. Bits EPH1 and EPH0 in the “Operation Mode” and
“Initializing Mode 0” control messages respectively control the
operation of these outputs, see table 5.
The earpiece output path begins with a variable gain
stage EARSENSE which is controlled by bits EARS[3:0] in the
“Initializing mode 1” control message to give a gain range of -

Handsfree Operation
In a handsfree telephone the simplest method of preventing ‘howl round’ caused by acoustic feedback is to attenuate
either the forward or return path until the loop gain is too low
for sustained oscillation. The least active path is attenuated so
the signal level in each path must be detected and compared
so that the quieter can be attenuated.
In the ACE9040 the signal level in both the transmit and
the receive paths are rectified, with smoothing capacitors at

pins TXC and RXC respectively, to give d.c. voltages corresponding to the signal levels.
A switch HFS with its output at pin HF can be internally
toggled between TXC and RXC to allow measurement of the
two levels at these pins by an external level sensing circuit
such as an analog to digital converter input of ACE9030. The
HFS switch is controlled by bit HFS in the “Handsfree mode”
control message.
The system controller after comparison of the voltage
levels at TXC and RXC pins can attenuate the weaker signal
path by up to 49 dB, in 7 dB steps using blocks HFGAIN for
transmit and HFATTEN for receive. Bits THF[2:0] and
RHF[2:0] in the “Handsfree mode” control message are used
to set the gains of HFGAIN and HFATTEN respectively. The
rate of change of gain should be limited in the system controller to allow normal conversation.
Attack and decay time constants are set by the resistance
and capacitance on the TXC and RXC pins. With the internal
resistor to ground of approximately 500 kΩ and an external
capacitor to ground of 68 nF the normal attack time of 1 ms
and decay time of 35 ms is achieved. By adding a parallel
resistor the ratio of attack to decay time can be altered.
To save power in a hand portable when handsfree operation is not needed, the transmit and receive signal rectifiers
can be switched off by setting bit HFP in the “Handsfree mode”
control message to “0”.
BIAS
RREF
100kΩ/
68kΩ*
MICBIAS
BGAP
Reference currents for all the internal op-amps are set by
an external resistor connected from pin RREF to ground (V SS).
Nominal values are 100 kΩ for VDD = 4·85 V and 68 kΩ for
VDD = 3·75 V. A stable discrete resistor should be used to
ensure consistent operation over a wide temperature range.
Power Supply Comparator - Reset Output
A power supply comparator is provided to give a reset at
power-on and enable the system controller to initiate a clean
shut-down sequence if the battery voltage falls too low. When
VDD is below a band-gap derived threshold the open-drain
outut pin LVN drives to a logic low. This occurs for V DD
exceeding 1 V but less than a typical threshold of 3·35 V. An
external resistor at LVN provides a pull-up to VDD with a
capacitor to ground (V SS) to give a power-on reset delay.
Typical values for RC are 220 kΩ and 150 nF. This RC
combination also removes short transients or noise pulses
from the signal at LVN during power up. If this comparator is
not required the bandgap and comparator can be powered
down by setting bit PDLVC in the “Initializing mode 0” control
message to a “1”.

BIAS, VMID and MICBIAS
Within ACE9040 most signals are single ended and swing
either side of a mid-supply reference voltage. These internal
references are all labelled VMIDxx in this data sheet.
A low impedance voltage source at mid-supply for use as
an external signal ground is available on pin BIAS. This is a
buffered copy of the voltage at pin DEC which is from an
internal high impedance potential divider between V DD and
VSS. The DEC pin should be decoupled to ground with a
capacitor of greater than 3.3 µF. Two additional buffers provide copies of DEC’s voltage at pins VMIDTX and VMIDRX,
these are used as internal signal grounds for the transmit and
receive paths respectively. VMIDTX and VMIDRX pins should
be decoupled to GND with 82 nF capacitors. By using
separate mid-supply signal grounds crosstalk due to the
compander time constant circuits and the speech and tone
signals are kept to a minimum.
Pin MICBIAS gives the bias needed for an electret microphone nominally 0·8 times VDD, e.g. when V DD is 3·75 V
MICBIAS = 3 V
