AS2520/21/20B/21B
The handset speech circuit consists of a transmit and
a receive path with mute, dual soft clipping and line
regulation (pin option). A volume control is provided
with squelch and loop gain compensation to improve
signal-to-noise ratio and to assure acoustic stability.
Functional Description
The AS252x contains all the voice circuits needed in
a high feature telephone instrument, i .e.:
• line adaptation (ac impedance, dc characteristics,
2/4-wire conversion, power extraction)
Loudhearing and handsfree functions are also
provided. The loudhearing function includes an antiLarsen circuit to prevent acoustic howling.
• handset speech circuit
• loudhearing with enhanced anti-Larsen
• switching converter
The handsfree circuit has a novel voice control
system which is virtually independent of any
background noise and works in a dynamic half
duplex mode as close to full duplex as the acoustic
loop gain allows.
The line adaptation includes line driver, ac
impedance (return loss), 2 to 4 wire converter, dc
mask and power extraction circuit for extracting the
maximum dc power from the line to supply the whole
device and peripheral circuits.
The switching converter is used to extract the
available power from the ring signal and provides a
4V supply voltage. This allows the same loudspeaker
to be used for loudhearing/handsfree and tone
ringing.

(see application notes). The dc resistance of R1
should be kept at 30 ohm to ensure correct dc
condition.
DC Conditions
The normal operating range (off-hook) is from 13 mA
to 100 mA. Operating range with reduced
performance is from 5 mA to 13 mA (parallel
operation). In the normal operating range all
functions are operational.
Return loss and sidetone cancellation can be
determined independent of each other (see figure 4).
Speech Circuit
In the line hold range from 0 to 5 mA the device is in
a power down mode and the voltage at LI is reduced
to maximum 3.5V.
The speech circuit consists of a transmit and a
receive path with soft clipping, mute, line loss
compensation and sidetone cancellation.
Transmit
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:
The gain of the transmit path is 36.5 dB in handset
mode (from M1/M2 to LS) and 46.5 dB in handsfree
mode (from M3/M4 to LS). The microphone inputs
have an input impedance of 15 kohm.
VLS = VLI + ILINE ž R1
The voltage at LI is 4.5V.
The unique dual soft clipping control circuit limits the
output voltage at LI to 2VPEAK. Dual means that the soft
clipping incorporates both a very fast control circuit to
eliminate harsh sidetone distortion and a slower
regulation circuit to limit the output voltage at 2VPEAK
independent of the line impedance. The attack time
is 30 µs/6 dB. The overdrive range is 30 dB. When
mute is active, pin MT high, the gain is reduced by >
60 dB.
Below 13 mA the AS252x provides an additional
slope in order to allow parallel operation (see figure
3).

The gain of the receive path is 3 dB (test circuit

differential signal of RI and STB. Also the receive
channel provides soft clipping to avoid acoustic
shock and harsh distortion.

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 -30 dB
relative to the line signal.
When the PD pin is high (during pulse dialling) the
speech circuit and other part of the device not
operating are 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 keep a low voltage
drop at the LS pin during make periods.
Volume Control
The synthesised ac impedance of the circuit is set on
chip and by an external resistor and an external
capacitor (for complex impedance).
On the AS2520 the receive gain can be changed by
pressing the volume keys. The + key increases the
gain by 10 dB in 5 steps and the – key decreases the
gain by 10 dB in 5 steps. The gain is reset by next
off-hook. The volume can also be controlled via a
microcontroller.
When R1 is set to 30 ohm, the ac impedance is 1000
ohm real, and the complex part can be set by a
capacitor connected to pin 2 (CI).
The AS2521 uses a potentiometer to control the
receive gain. The volume is an indirect dc control to
avoid that noise is introduced from the potentiometer.
For 600 ohm telephones it is recommended to
connect a resistor and a capacitor from pin LS to VSS
The volume control is common for both the earpiece
and the loudspeaker. Any increase will be
compensated to ensure acoustic stability.

20 to 50 mA or 45 to 75 mA depending on selected
range.
The acoustic stability is provided as follows:
When the volume is increased, e.g. by 10 dB, the
receive gain maintains the same as long as no
receive signal is applied. Applying a receive signal
will cause a 10 dB increase of the receive gain and a
corresponding decrease of the transmit gain. This
squelch function improves the signal-to-noise ratio.
Loudhearing
The loudhearing mode is enabled when HS and LE
are high. In order to prevent acoustic coupling
between the handset microphone and the
loudspeaker, the AS252x incorporate an anti-Larsen
circuit.
In other words, a certain increase of the volume
introduces a similar amount of dynamic voice
switching, controlled by the receive signal, also in the
handset mode.
The anti-Larsen circuit decreases the gain of the
loudspeaker amplifier when a microphone signal is
applied. If no signal is applied from the microphone,
the loudspeaker amplifier is at its full gain.
Sidetone
Anti-Clipping (not AS2520B/21B)
A good sidetone cancellation is achieved by using
the following equation:
The anti-clipping circuit is activated in loudhearing
and handsfree mode. The circuit prevents harsh
distortion at very high signal levels.
ZBAL/ZLINE = R5/R1
The sidetone cancellation signal is applied to the
STB input.
Furthermore, the circuit assures that the integrity of
the whole telephone circuit is maintained under
extreme load conditions, since it prevents that the
supply voltage drops below a certain minimum level.
By using two separate Wheatstone Bridges for return
loss and sidetone cancellation it is very easy to
calculate the sidetone balance network (see figure 4).
This unique configuration provides a sidetone
cancellation less sensitive to tolerances on the
external balance network and totally independent of
the ac impedance and its tolerances.
The attack time is fast (120 µs/6 dB) for preventing
harsh distortion when the amplitude rapidly
increases. For avoiding chopper effects and to
assure low distortion, the decay time is longer,
approx. 128 ms/6 dB.
A good and stable sidetone cancellation improves the
handsfree function considerably and ensures a safe
margin against acoustic instability under all
circumstances.
When the anti-clipping circuit has been activated by a
large receive signal, the channel control will increase
the Tx gain corresponding to the reduction in Rx gain
caused by the anti-clipping.
Handsfree

The handsfree function allows voice communication
without using the handset (full 2-way speaker phone).
Two voice controlled attenuators prevent acoustic
coupling between the loudspeaker and the
microphone.

Figure 4: Sidetone Bridge
A conventional voice switching circuit has a channel
control with three states, namely idle, transmit or
receive. In idle state, when no signal is applied, both
the transmit and the receive channels are attenuated
by approx. 20 dB to keep the total loop gain below 0
dB.
Furthermore, the dual Wheatstone bridge makes it
very simple to adapt the circuit to different PTT
requirements as these two parameters (return loss
and sidetone balance) are independent of each
other.
Line Loss Compensation
When a signal is applied to the microphone, the
circuit switches to transmit state, i.e. the gain in the
transmit channel is increased and the gain in the
receive channel is decreased accordingly. And vice
versa when a receive signal is applied.
The line loss compensation (Rx and Tx AGC
controlled by the line current) is a pin option. When it
is activated, the transmit and receive gains are
changed by -6 dB in 1 dB steps at line currents from
Rev. 5.1

Preliminary
AS2520/21/20B/21B
This approach has some disadvantages. It requires a
high degree of discipline, since the three state
channel control gives a very distinct half duplex with
a relative high switching time constant to avoid
chopper effects. Furthermore, the system is very
sensitive to the environment,- noise, line conditions
and acoustics (echo).
The advantages of using the transmit state as the
static (idle) state are that the B subscriber hears an
open line (the line is not dead), does not miss the
initial word of a sentence when the A subscriber
starts talking, and hears the level of the background
noise at A´s end which will actuate her/him to speak
up accordingly.
Apart from keeping a distinct discipline, the user can
not do anything to minimise the effect of these
constraints, since the parameters of the voice
switching (thresholds, time constants, noise
discrimination, etc.) can not be changed or adapted
to the actual conditions by the user.
When the A subscriber starts talking, the circuit
remains in the static state.
The dynamic state of the voice switching can only be
activated by the receive signal. Applying a receive
signal above a certain level will cause the circuit to
enter the dynamic state.
The dynamic voice control system of the AS252x
have been designed to overcome the above
constraints. The basic philosophy behind the AS252x
is that telephone circuits should not have any
automatic regulations preventing the user from
having all information about the actual conditions
which should enable her/him to act accordingly, i.e.
to comply with the given constraints.

Now, assuming subscriber A has a handsfree
telephone and is calling subscriber B, who has a
normal telephone. The B subscriber does not
necessarily know that A is using a handsfree
telephone and will therefore not automatically comply
to the discipline of a half duplex conversation. Hence,
the disadvantages by using half duplex should apply
to the A subscriber only.

Figure 5: Channel Control System
The signal for controlling the channel attenuation is
taken after the sidetone amplifier. With the volume at
0 dB (neutral) the threshold for entering the dynamic
state (VTH) is 15 mV assuming that VRX > VTX (see
figure 5).
Secondly, if A is in a noisy environment, the B
subscriber should hear it, so that he speaks up to
increase the signal-to-noise ratio at the A subscriber.
The traditional 3-state switching system has two
major drawbacks: first of all, when no one is talking,
the circuit is in idle state and the B subscriber gets
the feeling that the line is dead, since the background
noise does not activate the voice switching.
Secondly, the B subscriber does not speak up, since
she/he does not hear the background noise.
In the dynamic state the channel attenuation is
controlled by a voltage controlled amplifier. The
attack time is 4 ms/6 dB and the hold time is 200 ms.
A speech compression is activated when a transmit
signal with a high amplitude reaches a level
corresponding to approximately 460 mV on the line.
The concept of the AS252x, however, does not
exclude the human factor, but provides the
information about the actual conditions to the user
and allows her/him to act accordingly, i.e. to speak
up, to change the volume, etc.

The smoothing capacitor should be in the range of 10
to 68 nF. The choke coil must have an inductance of
>1mH and a dc resistance of < 15 ohm.
The speech compression allows a higher gain in the
transmit channel, i.e. the microphone gets more
sensitive at low sound pressure levels on the
microphone, which enables the user to move further
away from the telephone. This means that a constant
signal is provided on the line practical independent of
the microphone signal level. Any reduction of gain by
the compressor in the transmit channel will
automatically be given to the receive channel.

the melodies during programming with the same
sound pressure level as during ringing.
Figure 7: Switching Converter
Tone Input
The tone input is a digital input in ringing mode and
during melody feedback. The digital melody signal
(PDM = pulse density modulation) is directly applied
to the TI input (see also application notes for further
details).
When a ringing signal is applied, PD is pulled high
and the oscillator is enabled. The switching converter
is controlled by the output CM, which is turned high
and low with a duty cycle controlled by the voltage at
VPP.
During DTMF dialling the DTMF signal is applied
through a capacitor to the TI input and will be fed to
the line (pin LI) and to the receive output (RO) as
confidence tone.
When off-hook the switching converter has a high
impedance (CM low) to avoid any influence on the
transmission and on pulse dialling.

Applications Hints
Interface to Microcontroller
In off-hook condition the microcontroller can be supplied from VDD of AS252x. The digital inputs (HS, LE, PD, and
MT) must be kept low until VDD has reached its minimum operating voltage (>2.5V).
Radio Frequency Interference
The RFI sensitivity has been minimised by the consequent use of CMOS technology and one overall ground and
by having differential inputs with a relative low input impedance.
For further application information see application notes for the AS2520 series.
