Maxim Integrated 73M1903-IVTR/F

Description
The Teridian 73M1903 Analog Front End (AFE) IC includes fully differential hybrid driver outputs that connect to the telephone line interface through a transformer-based DAA. The receive pins are also fully differential for maximum flexibility and performance. This arrangement allows for the design of a high-performance hybrid circuit to improve signal-to-noise performance under low receive level conditions and compatibility with any standard transformer intended for PSTN communications applications.
The device incorporates a programmable sample rate circuit to support soft modem and DSP-based implementations of all speeds up to V.92 (56 kbps). The sampling rates supported are from 7.2 kHz to 14.4 kHz by programming pre-scaler NCO and PLL NCO.
The 73M1903 device incorporates a digital host interface that is compatible with the serial ports found on most commercially available DSPs and processors and exchanges both payload and control information with the host.
Cost-saving features of the device include an input reference frequency circuit, which accepts a range of crystals from 9-27 MHz. It also accepts external reference clock values between 9-40 MHz generated by the host processor. In most applications, this eliminates the need for a dedicated crystal oscillator and reduces the bill of material (BOM).
The 73M1903 also supports two analog loop back and one digital loop back test modes.
