Product details
Overview
MC14LC5480DWR2 from Freescale Semiconductor is a single-supply, 20-pin SOG-packaged 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 (Tx) and 3.4 kHz low-pass (Rx) filters, and integrated 1.575 V precision reference voltage - used in telephony line interface cards and ISDN terminal adapters.
For engineers reviewing the MC14LC5480DWR2 datasheet, MC14LC5480DWR2 pinout, MC14LC5480DWR2 application, or MC14LC5480DWR2 equivalent, key selection criteria include differential analog signal processing, 5 V single-supply operation, 15 mW typical power dissipation, μ/A-law selectability via Pin 16, and compatibility with IDL/GCI/Long/Short Frame Sync digital interfaces.
Technical Context
The MC14LC5480DWR2 implements fully-differential analog signal paths from TI+/TI– through TG to switched-capacitor filtering and compression ADC, enabling 42 dB dynamic range with 6-bit effective resolution across seven chords. Its transmit path includes active R-C pre-filtering and a 5-pole differential switched-capacitor band-pass filter centered at 200–3400 Hz.
The receive path uses a differential D/A converter followed by sinX/X-compensated 3400 Hz low-pass filtering, active R-C post-filtering, and push-pull 300 Ω power drivers (PO+/PO–) with external gain adjustment via PI. Power-down is supported via PDI (Pin 10) or dual-frame-sync hold (FST+FSR low), placing RO+/RO–, PO+/PO–, DT, TG, and VAG in high-impedance state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | Single 5 V (VDD = +5 V, VSS = 0 V); enables simplified power design without dual supplies |
| Power Dissipation | 15 mW typical active; 0.01 mW in power-down mode - supports energy-sensitive telecom line cards |
| Companding Law | Pin-selectable μ-law (Pin 16 = VDD) or A-law (Pin 16 = VSS); ensures regional compliance (North America/Japan vs. Europe) |
| Analog Bandwidth | Transmit: 200 Hz–3.4 kHz band-pass; Receive: 3.4 kHz low-pass - meets ITU-T G.711 voiceband requirements |
| Reference Voltage | On-chip 1.575 V precision bandgap reference - eliminates need for external voltage reference component |
| Digital Interface Modes | Supports Long Frame Sync, Short Frame Sync, IDL (BCLKR = 1), and GCI (BCLKR = 0) - interoperates with Motorola telecom transceivers (e.g., MC145474, MC145422) |
| Output Drive | PO+/PO– push-pull outputs drive 300 Ω load to ±1.575 V (6.3 VPP) referenced to VAG - directly interfaces with telephone hybrid circuits |
Pinout & Package
MC14LC5480DWR2 is housed in a 20-pin SOG (Small Outline Gull-wing) package per Case 751D, with gull-wing leads, 0.025" pitch, and surface-mount compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TI+, TI– (Pins 19, 18) | Transmit analog input differential pair | Accept single-ended or differential voice signals; referenced to VAG (2.4 V); enable level-shifting from VSS-referenced sources |
| TG (Pin 17) | Transmit gain amplifier output | Drives 2 kΩ load; becomes high-impedance when TI+/TI– tied to VDD - allows direct injection into transmit filter |
| RO+, RO– (Pins 1, 2) | Receive analog output differential pair | Deliver filtered DAC output; drive 2 kΩ to VAG or 4 kΩ differentially; high-impedance in power-down |
| PO+, PO– (Pins 5, 4) | Push-pull power amplifier outputs | Drive 300 Ω load to ±1.575 V (6.3 VPP); gain adjustable via PI (Pin 3) and external resistors |
| MCLK (Pin 11) | Master clock input | Accepts 256 kHz–4.096 MHz; auto-prescales to generate internal 256 kHz sequencing clock - independent of data interface mode |
| FST, FSR (Pins 14, 7) | Frame sync inputs (Tx/Rx) | Control PCM word timing; dual-low condition triggers automatic power-down - eliminates need for external control logic |
| BCLKT, BCLKR (Pins 12, 9) | Bit clock inputs (Tx/Rx) | BCLKR logic level selects IDL (high) or GCI (low); BCLKT controls Tx data rate and Rx rate in ISDN modes |
| DT, DR (Pins 13, 8) | PCM data I/O (Tx/Rx) | High-impedance except during active data transfer; DT remains tri-stated ≥2 FST cycles after power-up |
| PDI (Pin 10) | Power-down input | Logic 0 forces full chip shutdown - all analog outputs, VAG, and DT go high-Z; restores function on logic 1 with FST present |
| Mu/A (Pin 16) | Companding law select | Direct hardware configuration: VDD = μ-law, VSS = A-law - no firmware or register programming required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully-differential analog signal path | Doubles allowable input amplitude vs. single-ended designs and rejects common-mode supply noise - improves PSRR by >60 dB |
| Integrated transmit/receive filters | On-chip 200 Hz–3.4 kHz band-pass (Tx) and 3.4 kHz low-pass (Rx) eliminate 6–8 external passive components per channel |
| Pin-selectable μ-law/A-law | No software configuration needed; hardware-selectable companding satisfies regional telephony standards without re-spinning PCB |
| On-chip 1.575 V precision reference | Bandgap-based, temperature- and supply-stable reference shared by ADC/DAC - removes external reference IC and associated decoupling |
| 300 Ω push-pull power drivers | PO+/PO– deliver ±1.575 V into 300 Ω load (6.3 VPP) - directly drives telephone line hybrids without external amplifiers |
| Multi-mode digital interface | Hardware-compatible with Long/Short Frame Sync, IDL, and GCI - enables reuse across legacy TDM switches and ISDN terminal equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PCM codec-filter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC145480P | Predecessor in DIP package; lacks differential analog design, higher noise floor, no on-chip reference - requires external 1.575 V reference | Same μ/A-law functionality and timing modes but limited to legacy through-hole assembly; not suitable for new SMT designs | Select MC14LC5480DWR2 for new designs requiring lower noise, reduced component count, and SOG packaging. |
| TP3067CP | CMOS PCM codec with μ-law only; no A-law support; uses external reference; no integrated power drivers - requires external op-amps for line driving | Compatible with Long/Short Frame Sync only; no IDL/GCI support - unsuitable for ISDN applications | Choose MC14LC5480DWR2 when A-law compliance, ISDN interface support, or integrated 300 Ω drivers are required. |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the MC14LC5480DWR2 in a telephony system?
The MC14LC5480DWR2 serves as a complete PCM codec-filter IC that digitizes analog voice signals (via μ-law or A-law companding ADC) and reconstructs them (via DAC), while integrating transmit band-pass (200 Hz–3.4 kHz) and receive low-pass (3.4 kHz) filters, on-chip 1.575 V reference, and 300 Ω push-pull line drivers - eliminating the need for 10+ discrete analog components in traditional LIC designs.
Does the MC14LC5480DWR2 require an external voltage reference?
No. The MC14LC5480DWR2 integrates a precision 1.575 V bandgap voltage reference shared by both its ADC and DAC sections. This eliminates the need for an external reference IC, reduces PCB area, and improves temperature stability - a key differentiator from alternatives like TP3067CP which require external reference circuitry.
How does the MC14LC5480DWR2 support both μ-law and A-law companding?
The MC14LC5480DWR2 supports μ-law and A-law companding via hardware pin selection: connecting Pin 16 (Mu/A) to VDD selects μ-law (used in North America and Japan), while connecting it to VSS selects A-law (used in Europe). This eliminates firmware configuration and ensures deterministic, glitch-free mode switching - critical for carrier-grade telephony equipment certification.
What digital interface modes does the MC14LC5480DWR2 support, and how are they selected?
The MC14LC5480DWR2 supports four digital interface modes: Long Frame Sync, Short Frame Sync, IDL (Interchip Digital Link), and GCI. IDL mode is selected by holding BCLKR (Pin 9) high for ≥2 FST rising edges; GCI mode is selected by holding BCLKR low. Frame sync polarity and bit clock alignment are automatically detected - no register writes or initialization sequence required.
Can the MC14LC5480DWR2 be used as a direct replacement for the MC145480?
Yes - the MC14LC5480DWR2 is explicitly documented as a pin-for-pin replacement for the MC145480. It retains identical pinout, electrical timing, and functional behavior while adding improvements including fully-differential analog design, integrated 1.575 V reference, and lower power dissipation (15 mW vs. ~25 mW), making it suitable for drop-in upgrades in legacy designs.
