RECEIVE VOICE PATH
Fig. 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 k
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.
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
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
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
