Philips Semiconductors
Preliminary specification
Listening-in circuit for line-powered
telephone sets
TEA1085; TEA1085A
Dynamic limiter (DLC) pin 23
To prevent distortion of the signal at the loudspeaker
outputs the gain of the amplifier is reduced rapidly when:
the peaks of the signal at the loudspeaker outputs
exceed an internally determined threshold (voltage
limiter)
the DC current into SUP is insufficient (current limiter)
the voltage at V
BB
decreases below an internally
determined threshold, typically 2.9 V (V
BB
limiter)
The time in which the gain reduction is effected is the
'attack time'; this is very short in the first and third instance
and relatively long in the second instance. The circuit will
remain in the gain-reduced condition until the peaks of the
output signal remain below the threshold level. The gain
will then return to a nominal level after a time determined
by the capacitor connected to DLC (release time).
MUTE input (MUTE) pin 20; TEA1085A
This MUTE is provided with a logic input to operate with a
microcontroller for instance.
The loudspeaker amplifier is disabled when the MUTE
input is LOW (connected to V
SS
or open input). A HIGH
level at the MUTE input enables the amplifier in the
listening-in mode.
MUTE input (MUTE) pin 20; TEA1085
The MUTE function is provided with a toggle input and is
designed to switch between the standby condition and the
listening-in condition on the rising edge of the input MUTE
signal (see Fig.6).
In the basic application the MUTE input must be LOW
(connected to V
SS
). A simple push-button can be used to
operate the MUTE toggle (see Fig.7). Debouncing can be
realized by means of a small capacitor connected between
MUTE and V
SS
.
An internal start circuit ensures that the circuit always
starts up in the standby condition.
