The TS34118 Voice Switched Speakerphone Circuit incorporates the necessary amplifiers, attenuators, level detectors, and control algorithm to form the heart of a high quality hands-free speakerphone system. Included are a microphone amplifier with adjustable gain and MUTE control, Transmit and Receive attenuators which operate in a complementary manner, level detectors at both input and output of both attenuators, and background noise monitors for both the transmit and receive channels. A Dial Tone Detector prevents the dial being attenuated by the Receive background noise monitor circuit. Also included are two line drive amplifiers which can be used to form a hybrid network in conjunction with an external coupling transformer. A high-pass filter can be used to filter out 60Hz noise in the receive channel, or for other filtering functions .A Chip Disable pin permits powering down the entire circuit to conserve power on long loops where loop current is at a minimum. |
