Product details
Overview
LE78D110BVC from Zarlink Semiconductor is a dual-channel Voice-over-Broadband SLAC (Subscriber Line Audio Codec) IC designed for BORSCHT functions in VoIP/DSL, cable telephony, and FTTH gateways. It performs A-law/µ-law/ADPCM codec conversion, real-time line supervision (off-hook/ring-trip/fault), DTMF/FSK/caller ID tone generation & detection, and adaptive transhybrid echo cancellation - all at 3.3 V operation in a 44-pin TQFP package.
For engineers reviewing the LE78D110BVC datasheet, LE78D110BVC pinout, LE78D110BVC application, or LE78D110BVC equivalent, this device serves as the digital signal processing core in integrated access devices requiring GR-909-compliant loop testing, programmable impedance matching, and software-configurable voice line circuits with VoicePath™ API support.
Technical Context
The LE78D110BVC implements fixed-function DSP resources for modem/fax tone (1100 Hz/2100 Hz) detection, DTMF decoding, ADPCM compression, and adaptive transhybrid balance - dynamically adjusting filter coefficients to minimize echo under varying line conditions. It interfaces exclusively with Zarlink VoSLIC devices (e.g., LE77D11) via SLI control signals (C1–C3), analog inputs (VIN/IMT/F), and outputs (VDC/VOUT).
It supports two mutually exclusive digital interface modes: PCM/MPI (separate voice and control paths using PCLK/FS/DXA/DRA) and GCI (combined voice/control on DD/DU bus with 8-channel framing). Clocking derives from internal PLL locked to 512 kHz reference, sourced either from PCLK, MCLK, or DCL depending on mode - with automatic 2.048 MHz/4.096 MHz DCL detection in GCI mode.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the LE78D110BVC in a VoIP gateway design?
The LE78D110BVC serves as the digital signal processing core for dual-line BORSCHT functions - performing A-law/µ-law/ADPCM codec conversion, real-time line supervision (off-hook/ring-trip/fault), DTMF/FSK detection, and adaptive echo cancellation. It interfaces directly with Zarlink VoSLIC devices like LE77D11 to form a complete voice line circuit, eliminating need for discrete tone generators or external test circuitry in LE78D110BVC-based designs.
Does the LE78D110BVC require an external microcontroller to operate?
Yes, the LE78D110BVC requires an external microcontroller for initialization, configuration, and runtime control via its Microprocessor Interface (MPI) or General Circuit Interface (GCI). It does not contain embedded firmware or boot ROM; all programmable parameters (e.g., ringing waveform, impedance, gain) are loaded at startup using VoicePath™ API commands sent over MPI or GCI - making the microcontroller essential for LE78D110BVC operation.
How does the LE78D110BVC support GR-909 compliance?
The LE78D110BVC implements hardware-accelerated GR-909 drop testing including Hazardous Potential, Foreign Electromotive Force, Resistive Faults, Ringers Test, and Loop Length measurement - with automatic pass/fail reporting. These tests execute autonomously using internal ADCs and comparators, requiring no external test equipment. Results are accessible via MPI/GCI registers, enabling LE78D110BVC-based systems to meet Telcordia GR-909 certification requirements without additional test hardware.
What are the supported digital interface modes for the LE78D110BVC?
The LE78D110BVC supports two mutually exclusive digital interface modes: PCM/MPI (separate voice and control paths using PCLK/FS/DXA/DRA pins) and GCI (combined voice/control on DD/DU bus with 8-channel framing). Mode selection is automatic at power-up based on clock detection - 48+ DCL cycles between FSC edges triggers GCI entry; MPI command sequence forces reversion to PCM/MPI. Both modes are fully supported in LE78D110BVC operation.
Is the LE78D110BVC pin-compatible with other devices in the LE78D11 family?
Yes, the LE78D110BVC is pin-compatible with LE78D110VC - sharing identical 44-pin TQFP footprint, pin assignments, and electrical characteristics. The sole difference is RoHS-compliant green packaging in LE78D110BVC per Directive 2002/95/EC, while LE78D110VC documentation does not specify RoHS status. No PCB layout changes are needed when migrating from LE78D110VC to LE78D110BVC.
