The TX baseband
This section covers the TX audio path from pins MICI to
TXO.
The microphone amplifier is an inverting operational
amplifier whose gain can be set by external resistors. The
input signal at pin MICI and the output signal at pin MOCO
are both AC-coupled. The non-inverting input is connected
to the internal reference voltage VB. External resistors are
used to set the gain and frequency response.
The TX baseband has a compressor with the
characteristic shown in Fig.9. The Automatic Level Control
(ALC) provides a ‘soft’ limit to the output signal swing as
the input voltage increases slowly (i.e. a sine wave is
maintained at the output). A hard limiter clamps the
compressor output voltage at 1.26 V (p-p). The ALC and
the hard limiter can be disabled via the microcontroller
interface. The hard limiter is followed by a mute circuit.
The TX gain is digitally programmable in 32 steps of
0.5 dB.
