385mW POWER DISSIPATION
PROGRAMMABLE POWER
DESCRIPTION
Burr-Brown’s Analog Front End greatly reduces the size and
cost of a single pair HDSL (High bit rate Digital Subscriber
Line) system by providing all of the active analog circuitry
needed to connect an HDSL digital signal processor to an
external compromise hybrid and an HDSL line transformer.
The transmit and receive filter responses automatically change
with clock frequency, allowing the AFE1205 to operate over a
wide range of data rates. The power dissipation of the device
can be reduced under digital control for operation at lower
speeds. The AFE1205 will operate at bit rates from 160kbps to
2.3Mbps. It meets ETSI PSD specifications for single pair E1,
as well as ETSI and ANSI PSD specifications for two pair E1
and T1.
Functionally, this unit consists of a transmit and a receive
section. The transmit section generates, filters, and buffers
outgoing 2B1Q data. The receive section filters and digitizes
the symbol data received on the telephone line. This IC operates

on a single 5V supply. The digital circuitry in the unit can be
connected to a supply from 3.3V to 5V. The chip uses only
385mW for full-speed operation. It is housed in a small 48-lead
SSOP package.
The receive channel is designed around a fourth-order deltasigma analog-to-digital converter. It includes a difference amplifier designed to be used with an external compromise hybrid
for first-order analog echo cancellation. A programmable gain
amplifier with gains 0dB to +9dB is also included. The deltasigma modulator, operating at a 24X oversampling ratio, produces a 14-bit output at symbol rates up to 1168kHz (for
2.3Mbps operation).
The transmit channel consists of a digital-to-analog converter and
switched-capacitor pulse forming network followed by a differential line driver. The pulse forming network receives symbol
data and generates a standard 2B1Q output waveform. The
differential line driver uses a composite output stage combining
class B operation (for high efficiency driving large signals) with
class AB operation (to minimize crossover distortion).

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 common
mode voltage on each pin is ±1.5V to achieve a differential input range of ±3.0V or 6Vp-p. (2) FSR is Full-Scale Range. (3) The output data is available at twice the
symbol rate with interpolated values. (4) With a pseudo-random equiprobable sequence of HDSL pulses; 13.5dBm applied to the transformer (27dBm output from
txLINEP and txLINEN). (5) Guaranteed by design and characterization. (6) Uncancelled Echo is a measure of the total analog errors in the transmitter and receiver
sections including the effect of non-linearity and noise. See the Discussion of Specifications section of this data sheet for more information. (7) Power dissipation
includes only the power dissipated within the component and does not include power dissipated in the external loads. The AFE1205 is tested with a 1:2 line

ELECTROSTATIC
DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Burr-Brown
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.

THEORY OF OPERATION
rxLOOP INPUT
rxLOOP is the loopback control signal. When enabled, the
rxLINEP and rxLINEN inputs are disconnected from the
AFE. The rxHYBP and rxHYBN inputs remain connected.
Loopback is enabled by applying a positive signal (Logic 1)
to rxLOOP.
The transmit channel consists of a D/A converter and a
switched-capacitor pulse forming network followed by a
differential line driver. The pulse forming network receives
symbol data from the DSP and generates a 2B1Q output
waveform. The output meets the pulse mask and power
spectral density requirements defined in European Telecommunications Standards Institute document RTR/TM-03036
for E1 mode and in sections 6.2.1 and 6.2.2.1 of Bellcore
technical advisory TA-NWT-001210 for T1 mode. The
differential line driver uses a composite output stage combining class B operation (for high efficiency driving large
signals) with class AB operation (to minimize crossover
distortion).
The receive channel is designed around a fourth-order delta
sigma A/D converter. It includes a difference amplifier
designed to be used with an external compromise hybrid for
first-order analog crosstalk reduction. A programmable gain
amplifier with gains of 0dB to +9dB is also included. The
delta sigma modulator operating at a 24X oversampling ratio
produces 14 bits of resolution at output rates up to 584kHz.
The basic functionality of the AFE1205 is illustrated in
Figure 1.
The receive channel operates by summing the two differential inputs, one from the line (rxLINE) and the other from the
compromise hybrid (rxHYB). The connection of these two
inputs so that the hybrid signal is subtracted from the line
signal is described in the paragraph titled “Echo Cancellation in the AFE”. The equivalent gain for each input in the
difference amp is 1. The resulting signal then passes to a
programmable gain amplifier which can be set for gains of
0dB through 9dB. The ADC converts the signal to a
14-bit digital word, rxD13-rxD0.
ECHO CANCELLATION IN THE AFE
The rxHYB input is designed to be subtracted from the
rxLINE input for first-order echo cancellation. To accomplish this, note that the rxLINE input is connected to the
same polarity signal at the transformer (positive to positive
and negative to negative) while the rxHYB input is connected to opposite polarity through the compromise hybrid
(negative to positive and positive to negative) as shown in
Figure 2.

The gain of the amplifier at the input of the Receive Channel
is set by two gain control pins, rxGAIN1 and rxGAIN0. The
resulting gain between 0dB and +9dB is shown below.

SCALEABLE TIMING
The AFE1205 scales operation with the clock frequency. All
internal filters, the A/D converter, the D/A converter, and
the pulse former change frequency with the clock speed so
that the unit can be used at different frequencies by changing
the clock speed.

rxHYB AND rxLINE INPUT ANTI-ALIASING FILTERS
The –3dB frequency of the input anti-aliasing filter for the
rxLINE and rxHYB differential inputs should be approximately 2MHz for operation at 2.3Mbps. Suggested values
for the filter are 375Ω for each of the two input resistors and
100pF for the capacitor. Together the two 375Ω resistors
and the 100pF capacitor result in –3dB frequency of just
over 2MHz. The 375Ω input resistors will result in a minimal voltage divider loss with the input impedance of the
AFE1205.
This circuit applies at rates of 1Mbps to 2Mbps. For slower
rates, the anti-aliasing filters will give best performance with
their –3dB frequency approximately equal to the bit rate. For
example, a –3dB frequency of 500kHz should be used for a
single pair bit rate of 500kbps.
rxHYB AND rxLINE INPUT BIAS VOLTAGE
The transmitter output on the txLINE pins and the rxLINE
inputs are centered at midscale, 2.5V.
Inside the AFE1205, the rxHYB and rxLINE signals are
subtracted as described in the paragraph on echo cancellation above. This means that the rxHYB inputs need to be
centered at 2.5V just as the rxLINE signal is centered at
2.5V. The external compromise hybrid must be designed so
that the signal into the rxHYB inputs remains centered at
2.5V.

symbol period, the initial txDAT transition occurs on the falling edge of txCLK. (5) The maximum allowable timing error for the initial
txDAT transition is ±ttx1/10 (±86ns for single pair E1 rates). The maximum allowable timing error for the two subsequent txDAT
transitions is ±ttx1/12 (±72ns for single pair E1 rates). (6) The txDAT input is read by the AFE1205 at 1/8, 3/8, and 5/8 of a symbol

recommended that rxD13 - rxD0 be read on the rising edge of rxSYNC.

RECEIVE TIMING
The rxSYNC signal controls portions of the A/D converter’s
decimation filter and the data output timing of the A/D
converter. It is generated at the symbol rate by the user and
must be synchronized with txCLK. The rising edge of
rxSYNC can occur at the falling edge of txCLK or it can be
shifted by the user in increments of 1/48 of a symbol period
to one of 47 discrete delay times after the falling edge of
txCLK.
rate of 24X the symbol rate. The A/D converter’s decimation
filter downsamples the modulator output by a factor of 12.
The bandwidth of the decimation filter is equal to one-half
the symbol rate. This yields two output words per symbol
period. These two output words are shown as Data 1 and
Data 1a in Figure 3. The specifications of the AFE1205
assume that one A/D converter output is used per symbol
period and the other output is ignored. The Receive Timing
diagram above suggests using the rising edge of the rxSYNC
pulse to read the first data output in a symbol period. Either
data output may be used. Both data outputs may be used for
more flexible post-processing.

levels, the maximum bit rate is lower and in addition, the
minimum bit rate is lower. The power control pin (pin 22)
has three input levels: Logic 1, Logic 0, and high impedance.
In the high impedance state, up to 20µA leakage current can
be tolerated out of the power control pin. The AFE1205
requires six baud periods to settle after a change in the power
control pin status.
UNCANCELLED ECHO
The key measure of transceiver performance is uncancelled
echo. This measurement is made as shown in the diagram of
Figure 4. The AFE is connected to an output circuit including a typical 1:2 line transformer. The line is simulated by a
135Ω resistor. Symbol sequences are generated by the tester
and applied both to the AFE and to the input of an adaptive
filter. The output of the adaptive filter is subtracted from the
AFE output to form the uncancelled echo signal. Once the
filter taps have converged, the rms value of the uncancelled
echo is calculated. Since there is no far-end signal source or
additive line noise, the uncancelled echo contains only noise
and linearity errors generated in the transmitter and receiver.
Typical power dissipation specifications, shown in Table I,
assume a 5V analog supply, a 3.3V digital supply, standard
13.5dBm delivered to the line, a pseudo random equiprobable sequence of HDSL output pulses, and a 1:2 turns ratio
line transformer. The power dissipation specifications includes all power dissipated in the AFE1205—it does not
include power dissipated in the external load. The external
power is 16.5dBm, 13.5dBm to the line and 13.5dBm to the
impedance matching resistors. The external power of
16.5dBm is 45mW. If a 5V digital supply is used rather than
a 3.3V supply, the power dissipation increases by approximately 3mW.
The data sheet value for uncancelled echo is the ratio of the
rms uncancelled echo (referred to the receiver input through
the receiver gain) to the nominal transmitted signal (13.5dBm
into 135Ω, or 1.74Vrms). This echo value is measured under
a variety of conditions: with loopback enabled (line input
disconnected); with loopback disabled under all receiver
gain ranges; and with the line shorted (S1 closed in Figure 4).

AFE1205
The PLL section of the AFE1205 should be decoupled with
both a 10µF tantalum capacitor and a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor. Both capacitors should be placed between pins 1 and 2.
The ceramic capacitor should be placed as close to the
AFE1205 as possible. The placement of the tantalum capacitor is not as critical, but should be close. A 5Ω to 10Ω
resistor should be used to connect the PLL supply (pin 2) to
the analog supply. This resistor, in combination with the
10µF tantalum capacitor, form a low pass filter to keep
glitches that occur on the general analog supply, AVDD,
from affecting the PLL supply. The PLL ground (pin 1)
should connect directly to the grond plane.
LAYOUT
The analog front end of an HDSL system has a number of
conflicting requirements. It must accept and deliver digital
outputs at fairly high rates of speed, phase-lock to a highspeed digital clock, and convert the line input to a highprecision (14-bit) digital output. Thus, there are really three
sections of the AFE1205: the digital section, the phaselocked loop, and the analog section. A combined analog and
digital ground plane is recommended. The ground plane
should pass under all of the AFE1205 and its pins.
The power supply for the digital section of the AFE1205 can
range from 3.3V to 5V. This supply should be decoupled to
digital ground with a ceramic 0.1µF capacitor placed as
close to DGND (pin 12) and DVDD (pin 13) as possible.
Ideally, both a digital power supply plane and a ground
plane should run up to and underneath the digital pins of the
AFE1205 (pins 3 through 26). However, DVDD may be
supplied by a wide printed circuit board (PCB) trace. A
ground plane underneath all digital pins is strongly recommended.
The remaining portion of the AFE1205 should be considered
analog. All AGND pins should be connected directly to a
common analog ground plane and all AVDD pins should be
connected to an analog 5V power plane. Both of these planes
should have a low impedance path to the power supply.
Ideally, all ground planes and traces and all power planes
and traces should return to the power supply connector
before being connected together (if necessary). Each ground
and power pair should be routed over each other, should not
overlap any portion of another pair, and the pairs should be
separated by a distance of at least 0.25 inch (6mm). One
exception is that the digital and analog ground planes should
be connected together underneath the AFE1205 by a small
trace.
The Phase Locked Loop (PLL) analog supply, pin 2, must be
derived from AVDD, the general analog supply. The power
supply to the PLL must be in the range of 4.75V to 5.25V.
