Product details
Overview
MC145483SD from Freescale Semiconductor is a 13-bit linear PCM codec-filter IC designed for voice digitization and reconstruction in digital telephony systems. It integrates differential analog signal processing, on-chip transmit band-pass (200–3400 Hz) and receive low-pass (3400 Hz) filters, 2's complement data interface, and a precision 0.886 V reference voltage. It operates from a single 3 V supply with 8 mW typical power dissipation and supports both synchronous and asynchronous clocking modes.
For engineers reviewing the MC145483SD datasheet, MC145483SD pinout, MC145483SD application, or MC145483SD equivalent, key selection considerations include its fully-differential analog architecture for >75 dB dynamic range, programmable receive gain control (0 to –21 dB), high-impedance VAG reference for noise-sensitive analog grounding, and compatibility with Long/Short Frame Sync PCM timing formats.
Technical Context
The MC145483SD implements a dual-path, fully-differential analog signal chain: the transmit path includes an input op amp (TI+/TI–), active R-C pre-filter, differential switched-capacitor band-pass filter (200–3400 Hz), and 13-bit linear ADC; the receive path uses a 13-bit linear DAC, sinX/X-compensated switched-capacitor low-pass filter, active R-C post-filter, and push-pull 300 Ω power drivers (PO+/PO–). All analog circuitry references the internal VAG mid-supply ground.
Its digital interface supports four operational modes-Long Frame Sync, Short Frame Sync, sign-bit extended, and receive gain-adjust-controlled via FST/FSR/BCLKT/BCLKR pins. The MCLK input (256 kHz–4.096 MHz) drives internal prescaling to generate a 256 kHz sequencing clock for ADC/DAC and filter operation, independent of data transfer mode.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PCM codec applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC145504DW | 12-bit linear codec; no integrated VAG reference; requires external 2.5 V reference | Lacks differential analog path and onboard 0.886 V reference; lower dynamic range (~70 dB) | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs need for highest voice fidelity and simplified analog layout |
| TP3067CP | 12-bit µ-law/A-law codec; fixed 2.048 MHz MCLK requirement; no receive gain adjust | Optimized for legacy T1/E1 framing; lacks programmable gain and DC-coupled transmit capability | Prefer for standard telecom line cards requiring µ-law compliance and minimal firmware overhead |
Compared with MC145483SD, MC145504DW offers lower integration and reduced noise immunity, while TP3067CP trades flexibility in clocking and gain control for strict µ-law interoperability - making MC145483SD optimal for custom voice systems demanding 13-bit linearity, DC-coupled operation, and adaptive gain.

FAQ
What is the function of the VAG and VAG Ref pins on the MC145483SD?
The VAG pin (Pin 20) outputs a mid-supply analog ground (1.5 V) that serves as the reference for all internal analog circuitry in the MC145483SD. The VAG Ref pin (Pin 1) is a dedicated bypass node for the internal VAG generator circuit and must be decoupled to VSS with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor using short, low-inductance traces. When the MC145483SD enters power-down mode, the VAG pin becomes high-impedance, and the VAG Ref pin is pulled to VDD via a high-impedance path.
Does the MC145483SD support DC-coupled analog input?
Yes, the MC145483SD supports DC-coupled analog input via the HB (high-pass bypass) pin (Pin 16). When HB is driven high, the internal 200 Hz third-order high-pass filter is disabled, allowing baseband signals including DC to pass through the transmit path. This capability makes the MC145483SD suitable for non-telephony applications such as voice logging or sensor signal conditioning where sub-200 Hz content must be preserved.
How does the receive gain adjustment feature work on the MC145483SD?
The MC145483SD implements receive gain adjustment by asserting a logic high on the BCLKR pin (Pin 9), which activates a 16-bit receive data mode. In this mode, bits 14–16 clocked into the DR pin control attenuation of the RO– output in 3 dB steps from 0 dB to –21 dB. The corresponding digital codes (000 to 111) map directly to attenuation values per Table 1 in the Freescale datasheet. This feature is exclusive to the MC145483SD and related variants - not available in earlier 12-bit codecs like the TP3067CP.
What are the power supply decoupling requirements for stable operation of the MC145483SD?
Stable operation of the MC145483SD requires three dedicated decoupling capacitors: a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between VDD (Pin 6) and VSS (Pin 15); a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between VAG Ref (Pin 1) and VSS; and a 0.01 µF ceramic capacitor between VAG (Pin 20) and VSS. All capacitors must be placed with minimal trace length and low inductance. Failure to properly decouple VAG Ref degrades PSRR and introduces clock feedthrough into the analog signal path of the MC145483SD.
Can the MC145483SD operate with asynchronous transmit and receive clocks?
Yes, the MC145483SD supports fully asynchronous operation between transmit and receive paths. The FST (Pin 14) and FSR (Pin 7) frame sync inputs may run at independent 8 kHz phases, and BCLKT (Pin 12) and BCLKR (Pin 9) may operate at different frequencies within the 256–4096 kHz range. This capability is explicitly confirmed in the "Digital I/O" section of the MC145483/D datasheet and enables flexible system-level clock domain bridging without requiring clock synchronization hardware for the MC145483SD.
