Product details
Overview
MC145484DW from Freescale Semiconductor is a 5 V single-supply PCM codec-filter IC performing voice digitization and reconstruction with pin-selectable μ-law or A-law companding, on-chip 200 Hz–3.4 kHz band-pass (transmit) and 3.4 kHz low-pass (receive) filters, and integrated 1.575 V precision reference voltage. It serves as the analog front-end in telephony line interface circuits, supporting SLIC interfacing and ISDN U-interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the MC145484DW datasheet, MC145484DW pinout, MC145484DW application, or MC145484DW equivalent, key selection criteria include its differential analog architecture for noise immunity, 8 kHz frame sync compatibility across Long/Short Frame Sync, IDL, and GCI modes, power-down capability (<0.01 mW), and push-pull 300 Ω driver outputs for telephone line driving.
Technical Context
The MC145484DW implements a fully-differential analog signal path: transmit input passes through an active R-C pre-filter, single-ended-to-differential converter, 5-pole switched-capacitor band-pass filter (200 Hz–3.4 kHz), and differential compressing ADC; receive path uses differential DAC, sinX/X-compensated 5-pole switched-capacitor low-pass filter (3.4 kHz), active R-C post-filter, and buffered RO– output.
Digital interface supports four timing modes-Long Frame Sync, Short Frame Sync, IDL (BCLKR = 1), and GCI (BCLKR = 0)-with automatic MCLK prescaling for 256 kHz–4.096 MHz inputs, and independent FST/FSR frame sync handling. Power-down is triggered either by logic-low PDI or simultaneous low assertion of FST and FSR.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | Single 5 V rail; enables direct integration into legacy telephony power domains without dual supplies. |
| Power Dissipation | 15 mW typical active; 0.01 mW in power-down - reduces thermal load in dense line-card designs. |
| Companding Law | PIN-selectable μ-law (TI+ = VDD) or A-law (TI+ = VSS); eliminates firmware configuration overhead. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.575 V internal precision reference - sets –0 dBm TLP at 600 Ω, enabling calibrated audio level alignment. |
| Transmit Filter BW | 200 Hz to 3.4 kHz band-pass - meets ITU-T G.712 amplitude response requirements for voiceband transmission. |
| Receive Filter BW | 3.4 kHz low-pass with sinX/X compensation - suppresses aliasing images while preserving voice fidelity. |
| Driver Output | Push-pull PO+/PO– capable of 3.15 V peak into 300 Ω - delivers +12 dBm line drive compliant with SLIC interface specs. |
Pinout & Package
MC145484DW is housed in a 20-pin SOG (Small Outline Gull-wing) package per Case 751D, optimized for surface-mount assembly and thermal performance in telecom line cards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (6) | Positive supply | 5 V main power rail; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling to VSS for analog stability. |
| VSS (15) | Negative supply / digital ground | 0 V reference for digital logic and bias networks; separate from analog ground (VAG). |
| VAG (20) | Analog ground output | Mid-supply (2.5 V) reference for all analog circuitry; high-impedance in power-down mode. |
| VAG Ref (1) | VAG generation bypass | Bypass node for internal VAG generator; must be decoupled to VSS with 0.1 µF capacitor using low-inductance layout. |
| Mu/A (16) | Companding law select | Logic-high → μ-law; logic-low → A-law; determines encoder compression and decoder expansion algorithm. |
| PDI (10) | Power-down control | Active-low enable; gates clocks and bias currents, placing RO–, PO+, PO–, TG, DT, and VAG in high-impedance state. |
| TI+ (19), TI– (18) | Transmit input differential pair | FET-input op-amp terminals; support level-shifting for VSS-referenced signals and multiplexer selection of TG or TI– as filter input. |
| TG (17) | Transmit gain amplifier output | Drives 2 kΩ load; connects to anti-aliasing pre-filter; high-impedance when TI+ tied to VDD. |
| RO– (2) | Receive analog output (inverting) | Differential output of smoothing filter; drives 2 kΩ load to VAG; high-impedance in power-down. |
| PI (3), PO– (4), PO+ (5) | Power amplifier interface | Inverting op-amp input (PI) and push-pull outputs (PO–/PO+) form adjustable-gain line driver; PI = VDD disables driver. |
| MCLK (11), FST (14), BCLKT (12), DT (13) | Transmit digital interface | Supports 256 kHz–4.096 MHz MCLK; 8 kHz FST; 64 kHz–4.096 MHz BCLKT; serial PCM output on DT. |
| FSR (7), BCLKR (9), DR (8) | Receive digital interface | FSR accepts 8 kHz sync; BCLKR configures IDL/GCI mode; DR latches serial PCM data under BCLKR/FSR control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully-differential analog design | Doubles allowable input amplitude vs. single-ended, rejects common-mode supply noise, and improves PSRR by >60 dB. |
| On-chip transmit/receive filters | Eliminates external passive LC or ceramic filters - reduces BOM count and board area in line interface units. |
| Active R-C pre- and post-filtering | Suppresses out-of-band energy before and after switched-capacitor filtering, minimizing harmonic distortion and clock feedthrough. |
| Pin-selectable μ-law/A-law | Enables global deployment without PCB revision - North America/Japan (μ-law) and Europe (A-law) variants use identical hardware. |
| High-impedance VAG reference | Allows clean separation of analog ground from noisy digital VSS, critical when external analog signals are VSS-referenced. |
| SLIC-optimized interface | RO–, PO+/PO–, and TI+/TI– pin assignments match standard electronic SLIC signal routing, simplifying interconnect design. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PCM codec-filter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC145572DW | U-interface transceiver (not codec); lacks ADC/DAC, filters, and companding - requires external codec. | Designed for direct U-interface physical layer connection only; cannot replace MC145484DW's voiceband signal processing function. | Select MC145572DW only when pairing with a discrete codec; not a functional substitute for MC145484DW. |
| TP3067CP | Pin-compatible 20-pin DIP codec; supports μ-law only; no A-law selection; higher 30 mW active power; no VAG Ref pin. | Legacy replacement in through-hole designs; lacks VAG decoupling flexibility and dual-law support needed for multi-region deployments. | Choose TP3067CP only for cost-sensitive, μ-law-only, non-SLIC applications where VAG noise isolation is not critical. |
Compared with MC145484DW, MC145572DW provides physical-layer U-interface signaling but no voiceband conversion, while TP3067CP offers μ-law-only operation with higher power and reduced analog grounding control - making MC145484DW uniquely suited for SLIC-coupled, globally deployable, low-noise telephony designs.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the MC145484DW in a telephony system?
The MC145484DW performs end-to-end voiceband signal conversion: it digitizes analog voice signals using a differential compressing ADC with μ-law or A-law companding, applies transmit band-pass (200 Hz–3.4 kHz) and receive low-pass (3.4 kHz) filtering, and reconstructs analog voice from PCM data via a differential DAC. Its role is to serve as the analog front-end in SLIC-coupled line cards and ISDN terminal equipment, ensuring ITU-T G.712-compliant voice transmission.
How does the MC145484DW handle analog ground referencing for mixed-signal layouts?
The MC145484DW uses a dedicated high-impedance VAG (Pin 20) output referenced to mid-supply (2.5 V), decoupled via VAG Ref (Pin 1) to VSS. This separates analog signal processing from noisy digital ground (VSS), reducing clock feedthrough when external analog signals are VSS-referenced. All internal analog circuitry - including TI+, TI–, RO–, and PO+/PO– - is referenced to VAG, not VSS.
Which digital interface modes does the MC145484DW support, and how are they selected?
The MC145484DW supports four PCM timing modes: Long Frame Sync, Short Frame Sync, IDL (BCLKR = 1), and GCI (BCLKR = 0). Mode selection is automatic based on FST/FSR pulse width and BCLKR logic state - no register writes required. Long/Short Frame Sync are detected by counting falling edges of BCLKT relative to FST; IDL/GCI are selected by holding BCLKR high or low, respectively.
Can the MC145484DW drive a standard 600 Ω telephone line directly?
No - the MC145484DW's PO+/PO– outputs are specified for 300 Ω loads at +12 dBm (3.15 V peak), optimized for SLIC interface rather than direct 600 Ω termination. To drive a 600 Ω line, an external line transformer or impedance-matching network is required. The device's 300 Ω drive capability matches industry-standard SLIC analog port specifications, not legacy POTS line impedances.
What is the significance of the 1.575 V on-chip reference voltage in the MC145484DW?
The 1.575 V precision reference sets the –0 dBm transmission level point (TLP) at 600 Ω, enabling accurate calibration of voice signal levels without external components. It stabilizes ADC/DAC full-scale ranges and filter cutoffs against temperature and supply variation, ensuring consistent voice quality and compliance with ITU-T G.711 companding standards across operating conditions.
