ZL50211 Data Sheet

Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.

The following description applies to a single EVP (Echo Voice Processor). Note that the ZL50211 contains eight

EVP’s.

1.0 Single Echo Voice Processor (EVP) Description

Each single Echo Voice Processor (EVP) contains 32 echo cancellers divided into 16 groups. Each group has two

echo cancellers, Echo Canceller A (ECA) and Echo Canceller B (ECB). Each group can be configured in Normal,

Extended Delay or Back-to-Back configurations. In Normal configuration, a group of echo cancellers provides two

channels of 64 ms echo cancellation, which run independently on different channels. In Extended Delay

configuration, a group of echo cancellers achieves 128 ms of echo cancellation by cascading the two echo

cancellers (A & B). In Back-to-Back configuration, the two echo cancellers from the same group are positioned to

cancel echo coming from both directions in a single channel, providing full-duplex 64 ms echo cancellation.

Each Echo Voice Processor contains the following main elements (see Figure 4).

• Adaptive Filter for estimating the echo channel

• Subtractor for cancelling the echo

• Double-Talk detector for disabling the filter adaptation during periods of double-talk

• Path Change detector for fast reconvergence on major echo path changes

• Instability Detector to combat instability in very low ERL environments

• Patented Advanced Non-Linear Processor for suppression of residual echo, with comfort noise injection

• Disable Tone Detectors for detecting valid disable tones at send and receive path inputs

• Narrow-Band Detector for preventing Adaptive Filter divergence from narrow-band signals

• Offset Null filters for removing the DC component in PCM channels

• 0 to -12 dB level adjusters at all signal ports

• Parallel controller interface compatible with Motorola microcontrollers

• PCM encoder/decoder compatible with µ/A-Law ITU-T G.711 or Sign-Magnitude coding

Type BGA Ball # Signal Description

ZL50211 Data Sheet

Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.

• Each echo canceller in the EVP has four functional states: Mute, Bypass, Disable Adaptation and Enable

Adaptation. These are explained in the section entitled Echo Canceller Functional States.

Figure 4 - Functional Block Diagram of an Echo Canceller

1.1 Adaptive Filter

The adaptive filter adapts to the echo path and generates an estimate of the echo signal. This echo estimate is then

subtracted from Sin. For each group of echo cancellers, the Adaptive Filter is a 1024 tap FIR adaptive filter which is

divided into two sections. Each section contains 512 taps providing 64 ms of echo estimation. In Normal

configuration, the first section is dedicated to channel A and the second section to channel B. In Extended Delay

configuration, both sections are cascaded to provide 128 ms of echo estimation in channel A. In Back-to-Back

configuration, the first section is used in the receive direction and the second section is used in the transmit

direction for the same channel.

1.2 Double-Talk Detector

Double-Talk is defined as those periods of time when signal energy is present in both directions simultaneously.

When this happens, it is necessary to disable the filter adaptation to prevent divergence of the Adaptive Filter

coefficients. Note that when double-talk is detected, the adaptation process is halted but the echo canceller

continues to cancel echo using the previous converged echo profile. A double-talk condition exists whenever the

relative signal levels of Rin (Lrin) and Sin (Lsin) meet the following condition:

Lsin > Lrin + 20log10(DTDT)

where DTDT is the Double-Talk Detection Threshold. Lsin and Lrin are signal levels expressed in dBm0.

A different method is used when it is uncertain whether Sin consists of a low level double-talk signal or an echo

return. During these periods, the adaptation process is slowed down but it is not halted. The slow convergence

speed is set using the Slow sub-register in Control Register 4. During slow convergence, the adaptation speed is

reduced by a factor of 2Slow relative to normal convergence for non-zero values of Slow. If Slow equals zero,

adaptation is halted completely.

ZL50211 Data Sheet

Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.

In the G.168 standard, the echo return loss is expected to be at least 6 dB. This implies that the Double-Talk

Detector Threshold (DTDT) should be set to 0.5 (-6 dB). However, in order to achieve additional guardband, the

DTDT is set internally to 0.5625 (-5 dB).

In some applications the return loss can be higher or lower than 6 dB. The EVP allows the user to change the

detection threshold to suit each application’s need. This threshold can be set by writing the desired threshold value

into the DTDT register.

The DTDT register is 16 bits wide. The register value in hexadecimal can be calculated with the following equation:

DTDT(hex) = hex(DTDT(dec) * 32768)

where 0 < DTDT(dec) < 1

Example:For DTDT = 0.5625 (-5 dB), the hexadecimal value becomes hex(0.5625 * 32768) = 4800hex

1.3 Path Change Detector

Integrated into the EVP is a Path Change Detector. This permits fast reconvergence when a major change occurs

in the echo channel. Subtle changes in the echo channel are also tracked automatically once convergence is

achieved, but at a much slower speed.

The Path Change Detector is activated by setting the PathDet bit in Control Register 3 to “1”. An optional path

clearing feature can be enabled by setting the PathClr bit in Control Register 3 to “1”. With path clearing turned on,

the existing echo channel estimate will also be cleared (i.e., the adaptive filter will be filled with zeroes) upon

detection of a major path change.

1.4 Non-Linear Processor (NLP)

After echo cancellation, there is always a small amount of residual echo which may still be audible. The EVP uses

Zarlink’s patented Advanced NLP to remove residual echo signals which have a level lower than the Adaptive

Suppression Threshold (TSUP in G.168). This threshold depends upon the level of the Rin (Lrin) reference signal

as well as the programmed value of the Non-Linear Processor Threshold register (NLPTHR). TSUP can be

calculated by the following equation:

TSUP = Lrin + 20log10(NLPTHR)

where NLPTHR is the Non-Linear Processor Threshold register value and Lrin is the relative power level expressed

in dBm0. The NLPTHR register is 16 bits wide. The register value in hexadecimal can be calculated with the

following equation:

NLPTHR(hex) = hex(NLPTHR(dec) * 32768)

where 0 < NLPTHR(dec) < 1

When the level of residual error signal falls below TSUP, the NLP is activated further attenuating the residual signal

by an additional 30 dB. To prevent a perceived decrease in background noise due to the activation of the NLP, a

spectrally-shaped comfort noise, equivalent in power level to the background noise, is injected. This keeps the

perceived noise level constant. Consequently, the user does not hear the activation and de-activation of the NLP.

The NLP processor can be disabled by setting the NLPDis bit to “1” in Control Register 2.

The comfort noise injector can be disabled by setting the INJDis bit to “1” in Control Register 1. It should be noted

that the NLPTHR is valid and the comfort noise injection is active only when the NLP is enabled.

The patented Advanced NLP provides a number of new and improved features over the original NLP found in

previous generation devices. The differences between the Advanced NLP and the original NLP are summarized in

Table 1.

The NLPSel bit in Control Register 3 selects which NLP is used. A “1” will select the Advanced NLP, “0” selects the

original NLP.

The Advanced NLP uses a new noise ramping scheme to quickly and more accurately estimate the background

noise level. The noise ramping method of the original NLP can also be used. The InjCtrl bit in Control Register 3

selects the ramping scheme.

The NLInc sub-register in Noise Control is used to set the ramping speed. When InjCtrl = 1 (such as with the

Advanced NLP), a lower value will give faster ramping. When InjCtrl = 0 (such as with the original NLP), a higher

value will give faster ramping. NLInc is a 4-bit value, so only values from 0 to F(hex) are valid.

The Noise Scaling register can be used to adjust the relative volume of the comfort noise. Lowering this value will

scale the injected noise level down, conversely, raising the value will scale the comfort noise up. Due to differences

in the noise estimator operation, the Advanced NLP requires a different scaling value than the original NLP.

Important Note: NLInc and the Noise Scaling register have been pre-programmed with G.168 compliant values.

Changing these values may result in undesirable comfort noise performance!

The Advanced NLP also contains safeguards to prevent double-talk and uncancelled echo from being mistaken for

background noise. These features were not present in the original NLP. They can be disabled by setting the

NLRun1 and NLRun2 bits in Control Register 3 to “0”.

1.5 Disable Tone Detector

The G.165 recommendation defines the disable tone as having the following characteristics: 2100 Hz (±21 Hz) sine

wave, a power level between -6 to -31 dBm0, and a phase reversal of 180 degrees (± 25 degrees) every

450 ms (±25 ms). If the disable tone is present for a minimum of one second with at least one phase reversal, the

Tone Detector will trigger.

The G.164 recommendation defines the disable tone as a 2100 Hz (+21 Hz) sine wave with a power level between

0 to -31 dBm0. If the disable tone is present for a minimum of 400 ms, with or without phase reversal, the Tone

Detector will trigger.

Each EVP has two Tone Detectors per channels (for a total of 64) in order to monitor the occurrence of a valid

disable tone on both Rin and Sin. Upon detection of a disable tone, TD bit of the Status Register will indicate logic

high and an interrupt is generated (i.e., IRQ pin low). Refer to Figure 5 and to the Interrupts section.

Figure 5 - Disable Tone Detection

Once a Tone Detector has been triggered, there is no longer a need for a valid disable tone (G.164 or G.165) to

maintain Tone Detector status (i.e., TD bit high). The Tone Detector status will only release (i.e. TD bit low) if the

signals Rin and Sin fall below -30 dBm0, in the frequency range of 390 Hz to 700 Hz, and below -34 dBm0, in the

frequency range of 700 Hz to 3400 Hz, for at least 400 ms. Whenever a Tone Detector releases, an interrupt is

generated (i.e., IRQ pin low).

The selection between G.165 and G.164 tone disable is controlled by the PHDis bit in Control Register 2 on a per

channel basis. When the PHDis bit is set to “1”, G.164 tone disable requirements are selected.

In response to a valid disable tone, the echo canceller must be switched from the Enable Adaptation state to the

Bypass state. This can be done in two ways, automatically or externally. In automatic mode, the Tone Detectors

internally control the switching between Enable Adaptation and Bypass states. The automatic mode is activated by

setting the AutoTD bit in Control Register 2 to high. In external mode, an external controller is needed to service the

interrupts and poll the TD bits in the Status Registers. Following the detection of a disable tone (TD bit high) on a

given channel, the external controller must switch the echo canceller from Enable Adaptation to Bypass state.

1.6 Instability Detector

In systems with very low echo channel return loss (ERL), there may be enough feedback in the loop to cause

stability problems in the Adaptive Filter. This instability can result in variable pitched ringing or oscillation. Should

this ringing occur, the Instability Detector will activate and suppress the oscillations.

The Instability Detector is activated by setting the RingClr bit in Control Register 3 to “1”.

1.7 Narrow Band Signal Detector (NBSD)

Single or dual frequency tones (i.e. DTMF tones) present in the receive input (Rin) of the echo canceller for a

prolonged period of time may cause the Adaptive Filter to diverge. The Narrow Band Signal Detector (NBSD) is

designed to prevent this by detecting single or dual tones of arbitrary frequency, phase, and amplitude. When

narrow band signals are detected, adaptation is halted but the echo canceller continues to cancel echo.

The NBSD will be active regardless of the EVP functional state. However the NBSD can be disabled by setting the

NBDis bit to “1” in Control Register 2.

1.8 Offset Null Filter

Adaptive filters in general do not operate properly when a DC offset is present at any input. To remove the DC

component, each EVP incorporates Offset Null filters in both Rin and Sin inputs.

The offset null filters can be disabled by setting the HPFDis bit to “1” in Control Register 2.

1.9 Adjustable Level Pads

Each EVP provides adjustable level pads at Rin, Rout, Sin and Sout. This setup allows signal strength to be

adjusted both inside and outside the echo path. Each signal level may be independently scaled with anywhere from

0 to -12 dB level, in 3 dB steps. Level values are set using the Gains register.

CAUTION: Gain adjustment can help interface the ZL50211 to a particular system in order to provide optimum echo

cancellation, but it can also degrade performance if not done carefully. Excessive loss may cause low signal levels

and slow convergence. Exercise great care when adjusting these values.

The -12 dB PAD bit in Control Register 1 is still supported as a legacy feature. Setting this bit will provide 12 dB of

attenuation at Rin, and override the values in the Gains register.

1.10 ITU-T G.168 Compliance

The ZL50211 has been certified G.168 (1997), (2000) and (2002) compliant in all 64 ms cancellation modes

(i.e. Normal and Back-to-Back configurations) by in-house testing with the DSPG ECT-1 echo canceller tester.

The ZL50211 has also been tested for G.168 compliance and all voice quality tests at AT&T Labs. The ZL50211

was classified as “carrier grade” echo canceller.

2.0 EVP Configuration

The EVP architecture contains 32 echo cancellers divided into 16 groups. Each group has two echo cancellers

which can be individually controlled (Echo Canceller A (ECA) and Echo Canceller B (ECB). They can be set in

three distinct configurations: Normal, Back-to-Back, and Extended Delay. See Figures 6, 7, and 8.

2.1 Normal Configuration

In Normal configuration, the two echo cancellers (Echo Canceller A and B) are positioned in parallel, as shown in

Figure 6, providing 64 milliseconds of echo cancellation in two channels simultaneously.

ZL50211 Data Sheet

Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.

Figure 6 - Normal Device Configuration (64 ms)

2.2 Back-to-Back Configuration

In Back-to-Back configuration, the two echo cancellers from the same group are positioned to cancel echo coming

from both directions in a single channel providing full-duplex 64ms echo cancellation. See Figure 7. This

configuration uses only one timeslot on PORT1 and PORT2 and the second timeslot normally associated with ECB

contains zero code. Back-to-Back configuration allows a no-glue interface for applications where bidirectional echo

cancellation is required.

Figure 7 - Back-to-Back Device Configuration (64 ms)

Back-to-Back configuration is selected by writing a “1” into the BBM bit of Control Register 1 for both Echo

Canceller A and Echo Canceller B for a given group of echo canceller. Table 4 shows the 16 groups of 2 cancellers

that can be configured into Back-to-Back.

Examples of Back-to-Back configuration include positioning one group of echo cancellers between a codec and a

transmission device or between two codecs for echo control on analog trunks.

2.3 Extended Delay Configuration

In this configuration, the two echo cancellers from the same group are internally cascaded into one 128

milliseconds echo canceller. See Figure 8. This configuration uses only one timeslot on PORT1 and PORT2 and

the second timeslot normally associated with ECB contains quiet code.

Figure 8 - Extended Delay Configuration (128 ms)

Extended Delay configuration is selected by writing a “1” into the ExtDl bit in Echo Canceller A, Control Register 1.

For a given group, only Echo Canceller A, Control Register 1, has the ExtDl bit. For Echo Canceller B Control

Table 4 shows the 16 groups of 2 cancellers that can each be configured into 64 ms or 128 ms echo tail capacity.

3.0 Echo Canceller Functional States

Each echo canceller has four functional states: Mute, Bypass, Disable Adaptation and Enable Adaptation.

3.1 Mute

In Normal and in Extended Delay configurations, writing a “1” into the MuteR bit replaces Rin with quiet code which

is applied to both the Adaptive Filter and Rout. Writing a “1” into the MuteS bit replaces the Sout PCM data with

quiet code.

In Back-to-Back configuration, writing a “1” into the MuteR bit of Echo Canceller A, Control Register 2, causes

quiet code to be transmitted on Rout. Writing a “1” into the MuteS bit of Echo Canceller A, Control Register 2,

causes quiet code to be transmitted on Sout.

In Extended Delay and in Back-to-Back configurations, MuteR and MuteS bits of Echo Canceller B must always be

“0”. Refer to Figure 4 and to Control Register 2 for bit description.

3.2 Bypass

The Bypass state directly transfers PCM codes from Rin to Rout and from Sin to Sout. When Bypass state is

selected, the Adaptive Filter coefficients are reset to zero. Bypass state must be selected for at least one frame

(125 µs) in order to properly clear the filter.

3.3 Disable Adaptation

When the Disable Adaptation state is selected, the Adaptive Filter coefficients are frozen at their current value. The

adaptation process is halted, however, the echo canceller continues to cancel echo.

3.4 Enable Adaptation

In Enable Adaptation state, the Adaptive Filter coefficients are continually updated. This allows the echo canceller

to model the echo return path characteristics in order to cancel echo. This is the normal operating state.

The echo canceller functions are selected in Control Register 1 and Control Register 2 through four control bits:

MuteS, MuteR, Bypass and AdaptDis. Refer to the EVP Registers Description for details.

4.0 Echo Voice Processor (EVP) Throughput Delay

The throughput delay of the EVP varies according to the device configuration. For all device configurations, Rin to

Rout has a delay of two frames and Sin to Sout has a delay of three frames. In Bypass state, the Rin to Rout and

Sin to Sout paths have a delay of two frames.

5.0 Serial PCM I/O Channels

There are four TDM I/O streams, each with channels numbered from 0 to 31. One input stream is for Receive (Rin)

channels, and the other input stream is for Send (Sin) channels. Likewise, two output streams is for Rout PCM

channels, and Sout PCM channels. See Figure 9 for channel allocation.

5.1 Serial Data Interface Timing

The ZL50211 provides ST-BUS and GCI interface timing. The Serial Interface clock frequency, C4i, is 4.096 MHz.

The input and output data rate of the ST-BUS and GCI bus is 2.048 Mb/s.

The 8 KHz input frame pulse can be in either ST-BUS or GCI format. The EVP automatically detects the presence

of an input frame pulse and identifies it as either ST-BUS or GCI. In ST-BUS format, every second falling edge of

the C4i clock marks a bit boundary, and the data is clocked in on the rising edge of C4i, three quarters of the way

into the bit cell (See Figure 11). In GCI format, every second rising edge of the C4i clock marks the bit boundary,

and data is clocked in on the second falling edge of C4i, half the way into the bit cell (see Figure 12).

6.0 Memory Mapped Control and Status Registers

Internal memory and registers are memory mapped into the address space of the HOST interface. The internal dual

ported memory is mapped into segments on a “per channel” basis to monitor and control each individual echo

canceller and associated PCM channels. For example, in Normal configuration, echo canceller #5 makes use of

Echo Canceller B from group 2. It occupies the internal address space from 0A0hex to 0BFhex and interfaces to

PCM channel #5 on all serial PCM I/O streams.

As illustrated in Table 3, the “per channel” registers provide independent control and status bits for each echo

canceller. Figure 10 shows the memory map of the control/status register blocks for all echo cancellers of the EVP.

Table 4 is a list of the channels used for the 16 groups of echo cancellers when they are configured as Extended

Delay or Back-to-Back.

7.0 Normal Configuration

For a given group (group 0 to 15), 2 PCM I/O channels are used. For example, group 1 Echo Cancellers A and B,

channels 2 and 3 are active.

7.1 Extended Delay Configuration

For a given group (group 0 to 15), only one PCM I/O channel is active (Echo Canceller A) and the other channel

carries quiet code. For example, group 2, Echo Canceller A (Channel 4) will be active and Echo Canceller B

(Channel 5) will carry quiet code.

7.2 Back-to-Back Configuration

For a given group (group 0 to 15), only one PCM I/O channel is active (Echo Canceller A) and the other channel

carries quiet code. For example, group 5, Echo Canceller A (Channel 10) will be active and Echo Canceller B

(Channel 11) will carry quiet code.

Figure 10 - Memory Mapping

7.3 Power Up Sequence

On power up, the RESET pin must be held low for 100 µs. Forcing the RESET pin low will put each EVP in power

down state. In this state, all internal clocks are halted, D<7:0>, Sout, Rout, DTA and IRQ pins are tristated. The 16

Main Control Registers, the Interrupt FIFO Register and the Test Register are reset to zero.

When the RESET pin returns to logic high and a valid MCLK is applied, the user must wait 500 µs for the PLL to

lock. C4i and F0i can be active during this period. Once the PLL has locked, the user must power up the 16 groups

of echo cancellers individually, by writing a “1” into the PWUP bit in each group of echo canceller’s Main Control

For each group of echo cancellers, when the PWUP bit toggles from zero to one, echo cancellers A and B execute

their initialization routine. The initialization routine sets their registers, Base Address+00hex to Base Address+3Fhex,

to the default power-up value and clears the Adaptive Filter coefficients. Two frames are necessary for the

initialization routine to execute properly.

Once the initialization routine is executed, the user can set the per channel Control Registers, Base Address+00hex

to Base Address+3Fhex, for the specific application.

7.4 Power Management

Each group of echo cancellers can be placed in Power Down mode by writing a “0” into the PWUP bit in their

respective Main Control Register. When a given group is in Power Down mode, the corresponding PCM data are

bypassed from Rin to Rout and from Sin to Sout with two frames delay. Refer to the Main Control Register section

for description.

The typical power consumption can be calculated with the following equation:

PC = 9 * Nb_of_groups + 3.6, in mW

where 0 ≤ Nb_of_groups ≤ 16.

7.5 Call Initialization

To ensure fast initial convergence on a new call, it is important to clear the Adaptive Filter. This is done by putting

the echo canceller in bypass mode for at least one frame (125 µs) and then enabling adaptation.

Since the Narrow Band Detector is “ON” regardless of the functional state of the Echo Canceller it is recommended

that the Echo Cancellers are reset before any call progress tones are applied.

7.6 Interrupts

The EVP provides an interrupt pin (IRQ) to indicate to the HOST processor when a G.164 or G.165 Tone Disable is

detected and released.

Although each EVP may be configured to react automatically to tone disable status on any input PCM voice

channels, the user may want for the external HOST processor to respond to Tone Disable information in an

appropriate application-specific manner.

Each echo canceller will generate an interrupt when a Tone Disable occurs and will generate another interrupt

when a Tone Disable releases.

Upon receiving an IRQ, the HOST CPU should read the Interrupt FIFO Register. This register is a FIFO memory

containing the channel number of the echo canceller that has generated the interrupt.

All pending interrupts from any of the echo cancellers and their associated input channel number are stored in this

FIFO memory. The IRQ always returns high after a read access to the Interrupt FIFO Register. The IRQ pin will

toggle low for each pending interrupt.

After the HOST CPU has received the channel number of the interrupt source, the corresponding per channel

Status Register can be read from internal memory to determine the cause of the interrupt (see Table 3 for address

mapping of Status register). The TD bit indicates the presence of a Tone Disable.

The MIRQ bit 5 in the Main Control Register 0 masks interrupts from the EVP. To provide more flexibility, the MTDBI

(bit-4) and MTDAI (bit-3) bits in the Main Control Register<15:0> allow Tone Disable to be masked or unmasked

from generating an interrupt on a per channel basis. Refer to the Registers Description section.

8.0 JTAG Support

The EVP JTAG interface conforms to the Boundary-Scan standard IEEE1149.1. This standard specifies a design-

for-testability technique called Boundary-Scan test (BST). The operation of the Boundary Scan circuitry is

controlled by an Test Access Port (TAP) controller. JTAG inputs are 3.3 Volts compliant only.

8.1 Test Access Port (TAP)

The TAP provides access to many test functions of the EVP. It consists of four input pins and one output pin. The

following pins are found on the TAP.

• Test Clock Input (TCK)

The TCK provides the clock for the test logic. The TCK does not interfere with any on-chip clock and thus

remains independent. The TCK permits shifting of test data into or out of the Boundary-Scan register cells

concurrent with the operation of the device and without interfering with the on-chip logic.

• Test Mode Select Input (TMS)

The logic signals received at the TMS input are interpreted by the TAP Controller to control the test

operations. The TMS signals are sampled at the rising edge of the TCK pulse. This pin is internally pulled to

VDD1 when it is not driven from an external source.

• Test Data Input (TDI)

Serial input data applied to this port is fed either into the instruction register or into a test data register,

depending on the sequence previously applied to the TMS input. Both registers are described in a

ZL50211 Data Sheet

Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.

subsequent section. The received input data is sampled at the rising edge of TCK pulses. This pin is

internally pulled to VDD1 when it is not driven from an external source.

• Test Data Output (TDO)

Depending on the sequence previously applied to the TMS input, the contents of either the instruction

falling edge of the TCK pulses. When no data is shifted through the Boundary Scan cells, the TDO driver is

set to a high impedance state.

• Test Reset (TRST)

This pin is used to reset the JTAG scan structure. This pin is internally pulled to VSS.

8.2 Instruction Register

In accordance with the IEEE 1149.1 standard, the EVP uses public instructions. The JTAG Interface contains a 3-bit

instruction register. Instructions are serially loaded into the instruction register from the TDI when the TAP

Controller is in its shifted-IR state. Subsequently, the instructions are decoded to achieve two basic functions: to

select the test data register that will operate while the instruction is current, and to define the serial test data register

path, which is used to shift data between TDI and TDO during data register scanning.

8.3 Test Data Registers

As specified in IEEE 1149.1, each of the Echo Voice Processor’s JTAG Interface contains three test data registers:

• Boundary-Scan register

The Boundary-Scan register consists of a series of Boundary-Scan cells arranged to form a scan path

around the boundary of each EVP core logic.

• Bypass Register

The Bypass register is a single stage shift register that provides a one-bit path from TDI to TDO.

• Device Identification register

The Device Identification register provides access to the following encoded information:

device version number, part number and manufacturer's name.

Figure 16 - The MU Profile

Functional Description of Register Bits

The Exponential Decay registers (Decay Step Number and Decay Step Size) and Flat Delay register allow the LMS

adaptation step-size (MU) to be programmed over the length of the FIR filter. A programmable MU profile allows the

performance of the echo canceller to be optimized for specific applications. For example, if the characteristic of the

echo response is known to have a flat delay of several milliseconds and a roughly exponential decay of the echo

impulse response, then the MU profile can be programmed to approximate this expected impulse response thereby

improving the convergence characteristics of the Adaptive Filter. Note that in the following register descriptions, one

tap is equivalent to 125 µs (64 ms/512 taps).

FD7-0 Flat Delay: This register defines the flat delay of the MU profile, (i.e., where the MU value is 2-16). The

delay is defined as FD7-0 x 8 taps. For example; If FD7-0 = 5, then MU=2-16 for the first 40 taps of the

echo canceller FIR filter. The valid range of FD7-0 is: 0 ≤ FD7-0 ≤ 64 in normal mode and 0 ≤ FD7-0 ≤ 128

in extended-delay mode. The default value of FD7-0 is zero.

SSC2-0 Decay Step Size Control: This register controls the step size (SS) to be used during the exponential

decay of MU. The decay rate is defined as a decrease of MU by a factor of 2 every SS taps of the FIR

filter, where SS = 4 x2SSC2-0. For example; If SSC2-0 = 4, then MU is reduced by a factor of 2 every 64

taps of the FIR filter. The default value of SSC2-0 is 04hex.

NS7-0 Decay Step Number: This register defines the number of steps to be used for the decay of MU where

each step has a period of SS taps (see SSC2-0). The start of the exponential decay is defined as: Filter

Length (512 or 1024) - [Decay Step Number (NS7-0) x Step Size (SS)] where SS = 4 x2SSC2-0.

For example; If NS7-0=4 and SSC2-0=4, then the exponential decay start value is 512 - [NS7-0 x SS] =

512 - [4 x (4x24)] = 256 taps for a filter length of 512 taps.

Control Register 0 has the ODE bit.

MIRQ

Mask Interrupt: When high, all the interrupts from the Tone Detectors output are masked. The

Tone Detectors operate as specified in their Echo Canceller B, Control Register 2.

When low, the Tone Detectors Interrupts are active.

Note: Only the Main Control Register 0 has the MIRQ bit.

MTDBI

Mask Tone Detector B Interrupt: When high, the Tone Detector interrupt output from Echo

Canceller B is masked. The Tone Detector operates as specified in Echo Canceller B, Control

Canceller A is masked. The Tone Detector operates as specified in Echo Canceller A, Control

Format

ITU-T/Sign Mag: When high, both Echo Cancellers A and B for a given group, accept ITU-T

(G.711) PCM code. When low, both Echo Cancellers A and B for a given group, accept sign-

magnitude PCM code.

Law

A/µ Law: When high, both Echo Cancellers A and B for a given group, accept A-Law companded

PCM code. When low, both Echo Cancellers A and B for a given group, accept µ-Law companded

PCM code.

PWUP

Power-UP: When high, both Echo Cancellers A and B and Tone Detectors for a given group, are

active. When low, both Echo Cancellers A and B and Tone Detectors for a given group, are placed

in Power Down mode. In this mode, the corresponding PCM data are bypassed from Rin to Rout

and from Sin to Sout with two frames delay. When the PWUP bit toggles from zero to one, the

echo canceller A and B execute their initialization routine which presets their registers, Base

Address+00hex to Base Address+3Fhex, to the default power up value and clears the Adaptive

Filter coefficients. Two frames are necessary for the initialization routine to execute properly. Once

the initialization routine is executed, the user can set the per channel Control Registers for their

specific application.
