Product details
Overview
MC145483FC from Freescale Semiconductor is a 13-bit linear PCM codec-filter IC performing voice digitization and reconstruction with on-chip transmit band-pass (200 Hz–3.4 kHz) and receive low-pass (≤3.4 kHz) filtering, 2's complement data format, and integrated precision 0.886 V reference for –5 dBm TLP at 600 Ω. It operates from a single 3 V supply and supports both synchronous and asynchronous clocking in telephony and digital communication systems.
For engineers reviewing the MC145483FC datasheet, MC145483FC pinout, MC145483FC application, or MC145483FC equivalent, key selection considerations include its differential analog architecture for >75 dB dynamic range, programmable receive gain control (0 to –21 dB in 3 dB steps), high-impedance VAG reference for noise-sensitive analog grounding, and QFN-32 package compatibility with space-constrained voice front-end designs.
Technical Context
The MC145483FC implements fully-differential analog signal processing from TI+/TI– through switched-capacitor filters and 13-bit ADC/DAC, enabling 2× input amplitude headroom and common-mode power supply noise rejection. Its transmit path includes active R-C pre-filtering, 3-pole anti-aliasing LPF, differential converter, 5-pole SC band-pass filter, and autozeroed sample-and-hold; receive path uses 13-bit DAC, 5-pole sinX/X-corrected SC LPF, active R-C post-filter, and push-pull 300 Ω drivers.
It supports four digital interface modes: Long/Short Frame Sync, sign-bit extended (16-bit), and receive gain-adjust (16-bit with 3-bit attenuation control). Master clock (MCLK) accepts 256 kHz–4.096 MHz with automatic prescaling to generate internal 256 kHz sequencing; frame sync (FST/FSR) runs at 8 kHz, and bit clocks (BCLKT/BCLKR) support 256–4096 kHz rates.

Pinout & Package
MC145483FC is housed in a 32-pin QFN package (Case 1311), thermally enhanced with exposed thermal pad, footprint-compatible with standard QFN reflow profiles and suitable for high-density PCB layouts in voice gateway and modem applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 15) | Positive power supply | 3 V supply input; requires 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling to VSS for stable analog/digital operation. |
| VSS (Pin 24) | Negative power supply | Ground reference for digital logic and power supply return; serves as common reference for bypass capacitors. |
| VAG (Pin 32) | Analog ground output | Mid-supply (1.5 V) reference for all analog circuitry; high-impedance in power-down mode to isolate analog section. |
| VAG Ref (Pin 1) | Analog ground reference bypass | Bypass node for internal VAG generator; must be decoupled to VSS with 0.1 µF capacitor using short, low-inductance trace. |
| TI+ / TI– (Pins 19/18) | Transmit analog input (differential) | FET-input op-amp terminals supporting inverting gain configuration; common-mode range = 1.2 V to VDD–1.2 V. |
| TG (Pin 17) | Transmit gain amplifier output | Drives transmit filter; becomes high-impedance when TI+ tied to VDD, enabling direct analog input to filter stage. |
| RO– (Pin 2) | Receive analog output (inverting) | Output of smoothing filter; drives 2 kΩ load to 0.886 V peak referenced to VAG; high-impedance in power-down. |
| PO– / PO+ (Pins 4/5) | Push-pull power amplifier outputs | Differential 300 Ω drivers delivering 3.544 Vpp; gain adjustable via external resistors at PI (Pin 3); powered down when PI = VDD. |
| HB (Pin 16) | Transmit high-pass filter bypass | Logic-low enables 3rd-order 200 Hz HPF for 50/60 Hz rejection; logic-high bypasses for DC-coupled input support. |
| PDI (Pin 10) | Power-down input | Active-low control; places DT, RO–, PO–, PO+, TG, and VAG in high-impedance state and gates internal clocks. |
| MCLK (Pin 11) | Master clock input | Accepts 256 kHz–4.096 MHz; internally prescaled to generate 256 kHz timing for ADC, DAC, and SC filters. |
| FST / FSR (Pins 14/7) | Transmit/receive frame sync | 8 kHz inputs synchronizing PCM data transfers; holding both low for multiple frames initiates power-down. |
| BCLKT / BCLKR (Pins 12/9) | Transmit/receive bit clock | 256–4096 kHz bit-rate control; BCLKR doubles as mode select (logic 0 = sign-extended, logic 1 = receive gain adjust). |
| DT / DR (Pins 13/8) | Transmit/receive serial data | PCM data I/O; DT is 3-state output; DR is input accepting 13-bit or 16-bit words depending on BCLKR state. |

FAQ
What is the function of the VAG and VAG Ref pins on the MC145483FC?
The VAG pin (Pin 32) provides a mid-supply analog ground (1.5 V) that serves as the reference for all internal analog circuitry in the MC145483FC. The VAG Ref pin (Pin 1) is used to bypass the internal VAG generator with a 0.1 µF capacitor to VSS. This decoupling stabilizes the reference voltage and minimizes clock feedthrough noise. During power-down, VAG becomes high-impedance and VAG Ref is pulled to VDD via a high-impedance path - both behaviors are intrinsic to the MC145483FC's power management architecture.
Does the MC145483FC support μ-law or A-law companding?
The MC145483FC is a 13-bit linear PCM codec-filter and does not perform on-chip μ-law or A-law companding. Its 13-bit linear output aligns with μ-law bit weighting for 0 dBm0 calibration (–5 dBm at 600 Ω), enabling seamless interface with external μ-law encoders or DSPs that handle companding. The MC145483FC's linear architecture preserves full dynamic range before compression, making it ideal as an analog front-end preceding software or hardware-based G.711 implementation.
How is the receive gain controlled on the MC145483FC?
Receive gain on the MC145483FC is controlled in the "receive gain adjust" mode, activated by setting BCLKR (Pin 9) to logic high. In this mode, three additional bits (bits 14–16) are clocked into the DR pin alongside the 13-bit voice data, selecting attenuation from 0 dB to –21 dB in 3 dB steps. This digital control eliminates the need for external analog attenuators or voltage-controlled amplifiers, and the gain setting is applied directly within the MC145483FC's receive signal path prior to the smoothing filter output.
Can the transmit high-pass filter be disabled on the MC145483FC?
Yes, the transmit high-pass filter on the MC145483FC can be disabled using the HB pin (Pin 16). Applying a logic high to HB bypasses the 3rd-order 200 Hz high-pass filter, extending the transmit frequency response down to DC. This feature supports applications such as audio monitoring, DC-coupled sensor interfaces, or non-telephony voice systems where 50/60 Hz rejection is unnecessary - a capability confirmed in the MC145483FC's functional description and pin documentation.
What package type does the MC145483FC use, and what are its thermal characteristics?
The MC145483FC uses a 32-pin QFN package (Case 1311) with an exposed thermal pad, optimized for low thermal resistance in compact voice interface designs. Its thermal performance supports continuous operation at ambient temperatures up to +85°C with appropriate PCB copper area under the thermal pad. The QFN footprint enables high-density routing and improved high-frequency noise immunity compared to SOG or SSOP variants - a mechanical specification explicitly assigned to the "FC" suffix in Freescale's ordering information.
