Product details
Overview
TP3057N/NOPB from Texas Instruments (formerly National Semiconductor) is an A-law PCM codec/filter combo IC designed for telephony line interface cards. It integrates analog front-end amplification, switched-capacitor bandpass filtering (200–3400 Hz), 8-bit A-law companding ADC/DAC, sin x/x-corrected low-pass reconstruction, and a 600 Ω drive-capable power amplifier - all operating from ±5 V supplies with typical active power of 50 mW. It supports D3/D4 and CCITT G.711 applications in TDM voice systems.
For engineers reviewing the TP3057N/NOPB datasheet, TP3057N/NOPB pinout, TP3057N/NOPB application, or TP3057N/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include A-law compliance, 290 ms transmit/180 ms receive group delay, ±2.5 VPK overload level per G.711, synchronous/asynchronous dual-clock operation, and compatibility with 64 kHz–2.048 MHz bit clocks and 1.536/1.544/2.048 MHz master clocks.
Technical Context
The TP3057N/NOPB implements a complete µ/A-law PCM codec chain: its transmit path uses an external-gain-adjustable op-amp input stage followed by active RC pre-filtering and an eighth-order switched-capacitor bandpass filter clocked at 256 kHz, feeding an A-law successive-approximation ADC. The receive path employs an A-law DAC, fifth-order switched-capacitor low-pass filter with sin x/x correction, and a unity-gain 2nd-order RC post-filter/power amplifier delivering 7.2 dBm into 600 Ω.
Timing supports both short-frame (1-bit-wide FSX/FSR) and long-frame (≥3-bit-wide) sync modes, with frame sync edge-triggered sampling and TRI-STATE DX output enabled on FSX rising edge. Synchronous mode selects MCLKX for both directions via BCLKR/CLKSEL logic; asynchronous mode permits independent MCLKX/MCLKR (1.536/1.544 MHz for TP3054, 2.048 MHz for TP3057), with automatic 193rd-pulse compensation for 1.544 MHz operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| A-law encoding | Complies with CCITT G.711 A-law standard; enables interoperability with PSTN and digital switching systems using A-law PCM framing. |
| Transmit delay | 290 ms total (165 ms filter + 125 ms encoding); impacts echo cancellation design and real-time voice latency budgets. |
| Receive delay | 180 ms total (10 ms DAC + 110 ms filter + 62.5 ms half-frame); determines end-to-end talker echo round-trip time. |
| Overload level | 2.492 VPK (3.14 dBm0); matches G.711 A-law reference level for full-scale signal handling without clipping. |
| Power consumption | 50 mW active, 3 mW standby; enables high-density line card designs with thermal management under 1 W per 20 channels. |
| Output drive | ±2.5 V into 600 Ω (7.2 dBm); directly interfaces legacy analog telephone hybrids and SLICs without external buffering. |

Pinout & Package
Molded Dual-In-Line Package (N16A), 16-pin through-hole, 0.300-inch wide body, 0.100-inch lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Positive supply rail | +5 V ±5% analog/digital supply; requires local 0.1 µF decoupling to GNDA. |
| VBB | Negative supply rail | −5 V ±5% analog supply; separate ground return path required for noise isolation. |
| GNDA | Analog ground reference | Star-point ground for all analog signals; must be isolated from digital ground except at single point. |
| VFRO | Receive analog output | Single-ended 600 Ω drive output; delivers ±2.5 V peak into terminated load; connects to hybrid transformer or SLIC. |
| GSX | Transmit gain-set output | Analog output of transmit input amplifier; used with external resistors to set gain (e.g., 0–20 dB). |
| VFXIa / VFXIb | Transmit input differential pair | Non-inverting and inverting inputs of programmable-gain op-amp; accepts balanced/unbalanced audio sources. |
| DR | Receive serial data input | PCM data input latched on falling edge of BCLKR/FSR; compatible with industry-standard TDM frame formats. |
| DX | Transmit serial data output | TRI-STATE 8-bit A-law PCM output enabled by FSX; driven synchronously with BCLKX rising edges. |
| FSX / FSR | Transmit/receive frame sync | 8 kHz pulse trains initiating encode/decode cycles; support short (1-bit) or long (≥3-bit) frame sync timing per G.704. |
| BCLKX / BCLKR | Transmit/receive bit clock | 64 kHz–2.048 MHz clocks; BCLKR/CLKSEL pin selects internal divider for master clock (1.536/1.544/2.048 MHz). |
| MCLKX / MCLKR | Transmit/receive master clock | 1.536/1.544 MHz (TP3054) or 2.048 MHz (TP3057); MCLKR/PDN high forces power-down; low enables operation. |
| TSX | Encoder time-slot indicator | Open-drain pulse low during encoder sampling window; used for external timing synchronization or status monitoring. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar A-law PCM codec applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TP3054N/NOPB | m-law encoding (not A-law); identical pinout, package, and analog performance; different companding table. | Required for North American T1/D4 systems; incompatible with European E1/G.711 A-law infrastructure. | Select TP3054N/NOPB only for m-law deployments; TP3057N/NOPB is mandatory for A-law compliance. |
| MC145506P | Monolithic A-law codec with integrated SLIC driver; higher supply current (120 mW); no internal power amplifier. | Designed for direct line-driving applications; lacks VFRO 600 Ω output stage; requires external amplifier for hybrid interface. | Choose MC145506P when integrating SLIC functions; TP3057N/NOPB preferred for discrete hybrid-based line cards. |
Compared with TP3054N/NOPB, TP3057N/NOPB ensures strict A-law compliance for E1 systems, while MC145506P trades lower integration density for SLIC co-location - making TP3057N/NOPB optimal for high-channel-count, low-power, standards-conforming telephony interface cards.

FAQ
What is the primary encoding standard supported by the TP3057N/NOPB?
The TP3057N/NOPB implements strict A-law companding per ITU-T Recommendation G.711. Its encoding table, overload level (2.492 VPK), and noise performance (−79 dBm0p receive noise) are fully aligned with European and international E1 digital telephony standards. This distinguishes it from the m-law TP3054N/NOPB variant and ensures interoperability with global A-law infrastructure.
Does the TP3057N/NOPB require external filtering components for telephony-band operation?
No - the TP3057N/NOPB integrates all required analog filtering: an active RC pre-filter eliminates out-of-band noise, an eighth-order switched-capacitor bandpass filter enforces 200–3400 Hz transmit response, and a fifth-order switched-capacitor low-pass filter with sin x/x correction reconstructs the receive signal. External components are limited to gain-setting resistors (GSX) and supply decoupling capacitors.
How does the TP3057N/NOPB handle power management in multi-channel systems?
The TP3057N/NOPB supports two power-down modes: asserting high logic on MCLKR/PDN disables internal clocks and reduces current to 3 mW, or holding FSX/FSR continuously low achieves the same state within 1 ms. This allows per-channel sleep control in dense line cards, enabling dynamic power scaling without affecting adjacent channels' operation.
Can the TP3057N/NOPB operate with asynchronous transmit and receive clocks?
Yes - the TP3057N/NOPB supports true asynchronous operation: MCLKX (2.048 MHz) and MCLKR (2.048 MHz) may run independently, with FSR synchronized to BCLKR and FSX to BCLKX. However, best performance (lowest jitter, minimal inter-channel crosstalk) is achieved when MCLKX and MCLKR are phase-locked, which the device facilitates by connecting MCLKR/PDN low to route MCLKX internally to both domains.
What is the maximum output drive capability of the TP3057N/NOPB's VFRO pin?
The VFRO pin delivers ±2.5 V into a 600 Ω load (7.2 dBm), meeting ITU-T P.51 line driving requirements. It features a 2nd-order RC active post-filter and power amplifier optimized for hybrid transformer interfacing. Load capacitance must remain ≤500 pF; for longer traces or heavier loads, external buffering is recommended to maintain THD <0.5%.
