Description
The ZL50235 Voice Echo Canceller implements a cost effective solution for telephony voice-band echo cancellation
conforming to ITU-T G.168 requirements. The ZL50235 architecture contains eight groups of two echo cancellers
(ECA and ECB) which can be configured to provide two channels of 64 milliseconds or one channel of 128
milliseconds echo cancellation. This provides 16 channels of 64 milliseconds to 8 channels of 128 milliseconds
echo cancellation or any combination of the two configurations. The ZL50235 supports ITU-T G.165 and G.164 tone
disable requirements.

2.0 Device Overview
The ZL50235 architecture contains 16 echo cancellers divided into 8 groups. Each group has two echo cancellers,
Echo Canceller A and Echo Canceller B. Each group can be configured in Normal, Extended Delay or Back-to-
Back configurations. In Normal configuration, a group of echo cancellers provides two channels of 64 ms echo
cancellation, which run independently on different channels. In Extended Delay configuration, a group of echo
cancellers achieves 128 ms of echo cancellation by cascading the two echo cancellers (A & B). In Back-to-Back
configuration, the two echo cancellers from the same group are positioned to cancel echo coming from both
directions in a single channel, providing full-duplex 64 ms echo cancellation.
Each echo canceller contains the following main elements (see Figure 4).
Adaptive Filter for estimating the echo channel
Subtractor for cancelling the echo
Double-Talk detector for disabling the filter adaptation during periods of double-talk
Path Change detector for fast reconvergence on major echo path changes
Instability Detector to combat instability in very low ERL environments
Patented Advanced Non-Linear Processor for suppression of residual echo, with comfort noise injection
Disable Tone Detectors for detecting valid disable tones at send and receive path inputs
Narrow-Band Detector for preventing Adaptive Filter divergence from narrow-band signals
Offset Null filters for removing the DC component in PCM channels
+9 to -12 dB level adjusters at all signal ports
Parallel controller interface compatible with Motorola microcontrollers
PCM encoder/decoder compatible with µ/A-Law ITU-T G.711 or Sign-Magnitude coding
Each echo canceller in the ZL50235 has four functional states: Mute, Bypass, Disable Adaptation and Enable
Adaptation. These are explained in the section entitled Echo Canceller Functional States.

2.1 Adaptive Filter
The adaptive filter adapts to the echo path and generates an estimate of the echo signal. This echo estimate is then
subtracted from Sin. For each group of echo cancellers, the adaptive filter is a 1024 tap FIR adaptive filter which is
divided into two sections. Each section contains 512 taps providing 64 ms of echo estimation. In Normal
configuration, the first section is dedicated to channel A and the second section to channel B. In Extended Delay
configuration, both sections are cascaded to provide 128 ms of echo estimation in channel A. In Back-to Back
configuration, the first section is used in the receive direction and the second section is used in the transmit
direction for the same channel.
2.2 Double-Talk Detector
Double-Talk is defined as those periods of time when signal energy is present in both directions simultaneously.
When this happens, it is necessary to disable the filter adaptation to prevent divergence of the Adaptive Filter
coefficients. Note that when double-talk is detected, the adaptation process is halted but the echo canceller
continues to cancel echo using the previous converged echo profile. A double-talk condition exists whenever the
relative signal levels of Rin (Lrin) and Sin (Lsin) meet the following condition:
Lsin > Lrin + 20log10(DTDT)
where DTDT is the Double-Talk Detection Threshold. Lsin and Lrin are signal levels expressed in dBm0.
A different method is used when it is uncertain whether Sin consists of a low level double-talk signal or an echo
return. During these periods, the adaptation process is slowed down but it is not halted. The slow convergence
speed is set using the Slow sub-register in Control Register 4. During slow convergence, the adaptation speed is
reduced by a factor of 2Slow relative to normal convergence for non-zero values of Slow. If Slow equals zero,
adaptation is halted completely.
In the G.168 standard, the echo return loss is expected to be at least 6 dB. This implies that the Double-Talk
Detector Threshold (DTDT) should be set to 0.5 (-6 dB). However, in order to achieve additional guardband, the
DTDT is set internally to 0.5625 (-5 dB).
In some applications the return loss can be higher or lower than 6 dB. The ZL50235 allows the user to change the
detection threshold to suit each application’s need. This threshold can be set by writing the desired threshold value
into the DTDT register.
The DTDT register is 16 bits wide. The register value in hexadecimal can be calculated with the following equation:
DTDT(hex) = hex(DTDT(dec) * 32768)
where 0 < DTDT(dec) < 1
Example:For DTDT = 0.5625 (-5 dB), the
hexadecimal value becomes
hex(0.5625 * 32768) = 4800hex
2.3 Path Change Detector
Integrated into the ZL50235 is a Path Change Detector. This permits fast reconvergence when a major change
occurs in the echo channel. Subtle changes in the echo channel are also tracked automatically once convergence
is achieved, but at a much slower speed.
ZL50235 Data Sheet
12
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.
The Path Change Detector is activated by setting the PathDet bit in Control Register 3 to “1”. An optional path
clearing feature can be enabled by setting the PathClr bit in Control Register 3 to “1”. With path clearing turned on,
the existing echo channel estimate will also be cleared (i.e. the adaptive filter will be filled with zeroes) upon
detection of a major path change.
2.4 Non-Linear Processor (NLP)
After echo cancellation, there is always a small amount of residual echo which may still be audible. The ZL50235
uses Zarlink’s patented Advanced NLP to remove residual echo signals which have a level lower than the
Adaptive Suppression Threshold (TSUP in G.168). This threshold depends upon the level of the Rin (Lrin)
reference signal as well as the programmed value of the Non-Linear Processor Threshold register (NLPTHR).
TSUP can be calculated by the following equation:
TSUP = Lrin + 20log10(NLPTHR)
where NLPTHR is the Non-Linear Processor Threshold register value and Lrin is the relative power level expressed
in dBm0. The NLPTHR register is 16 bits wide. The register value in hexadecimal can be calculated with the
following equation:
NLPTHR(hex) = hex(NLPTHR(dec) * 32768)
where 0 < NLPTHR(dec) < 1
When the level of residual error signal falls below TSUP, the NLP is activated further attenuating the residual signal
by an additional 30 dB. To prevent a perceived decrease in background noise due to the activation of the NLP, a
spectrally-shaped comfort noise, equivalent in power level to the background noise, is injected. This keeps the
perceived noise level constant. Consequently, the user does not hear the activation and de-activation of the NLP.
The NLP processor can be disabled by setting the NLPDis bit to “1” in Control Register 2.
The comfort noise injector can be disabled by setting the INJDis bit to “1” in Control Register 1. It should be noted
that the NLPTHR is valid and the comfort noise injection is active only when the NLP is enabled.
The patented Advanced NLP provides a number of new and improved features over the original NLP found in
previous generation devices. Differences between the Advanced NLP and the original NLP are summarized in
Table 1.

Table 1 - Comparison of NLP Types
ZL50235 Data Sheet
13
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.
The NLPSel bit in Control Register 3 selects which NLP is used. A “1” will select the Advanced NLP, “0” selects the
original NLP. (See page 29 - Control Register 3 bit description)
The Advanced NLP uses a new noise ramping scheme to quickly and more accurately estimate the background
noise level. The noise ramping method of the original NLP can also be used. The InjCtrl bit in Control Register 3
selects the ramping scheme.
The NLInc sub-register in Noise Control is used to set the ramping speed. When InjCtrl = 1 (such as with the
Advanced NLP), a lower value will give faster ramping. When InjCtrl = 0 (such as with the original NLP), a higher
value will give faster ramping. NLInc is a 4-bit value, so only values from 0 to F(hex) are valid.
The Noise Scaling register can be used to adjust the relative volume of the comfort noise. Lowering this value will
scale the injected noise level down, conversely, raising the value will scale the comfort noise up. Due to differences
in the noise estimator operation, the Advanced NLP requires a different scaling value than the original NLP.
IMPORTANT NOTE: NLInc and the Noise Scaling register have been pre-programmed with G.168 compliant
values. Changing these values may result in undesirable comfort noise performance!
The Advanced NLP also contains safeguards to prevent double-talk and uncanceled echo from being mistaken for
background noise. These features were not present in the original NLP. They can be disabled by setting the
NLRun1 and NLRun2 bits in Control Register 3 to “0”.
2.5 Disable Tone Detector
The G.165 recommendation defines the disable tone as having the following characteristics: 2100 Hz (±21 Hz) sine
wave, a power level between -6 to -31 dBm0, and a phase reversal of 180 degrees (± 25 degrees) every
450 ms (±25 ms). If the disable tone is present for a minimum of one second with at least one phase reversal, the
Tone Detector will trigger.
The G.164 recommendation defines the disable tone as a 2100 Hz (+21 Hz) sine wave with a power level between
0 to -31 dBm0. If the disable tone is present for a minimum of 400 ms, with or without phase reversal, the Tone
Detector will trigger.
The ZL50235 has two Tone Detectors per channels (for a total of 32) in order to monitor the occurrence of a valid
disable tone on both Rin and Sin. Upon detection of a disable tone, TD bit of the Status Register will indicate logic
high and an interrupt is generated (i.e., IRQ pin low). Refer to Figure 5 and to the Interrupts section.
Figure 5 - Disable Tone Detection
Once a Tone Detector has been triggered, there is no longer a need for a valid disable tone (G.164 or G.165) to
maintain Tone Detector status (i.e., TD bit high). The Tone Detector status will only release (i.e., TD bit low) if the
signals Rin and Sin fall below -30 dBm0, in the frequency range of 390 Hz to 700 Hz, and below -34 dBm0, in the
frequency range of 700 Hz to 3400 Hz, for at least 400 ms. Whenever a Tone Detector releases, an interrupt is
generated (i.e., IRQ pin low).

The selection between G.165 and G.164 tone disable is controlled by the PHDis bit in Control Register 2 on a per
channel basis. When the PHDis bit is set to “1”, G.164 tone disable requirements are selected.
In response to a valid disable tone, the echo canceller must be switched from the Enable Adaptation state to the
Bypass state. This can be done in two ways, automatically or externally. In automatic mode, the Tone Detectors
internally control the switching between Enable Adaptation and Bypass states. The automatic mode is activated by
setting the AutoTD bit in Control Register 2 to high. In external mode, an external controller is needed to service the
interrupts and poll the TD bits in the Status Registers. Following the detection of a disable tone (TD bit high) on a
given channel, the external controller must switch the echo canceller from Enable Adaptation to Bypass state.
2.6 Instability Detector
In systems with very low echo channel return loss (ERL), there may be enough feedback in the loop to cause
stability problems in the adaptive filter. This instability can result in variable pitched ringing or oscillation. Should this
ringing occur, the Instability Detector will activate and suppress the oscillations.
The Instability Detector is activated by setting the RingClr bit in Control Register 3 to “1”.
2.7 Narrow Band Signal Detector (NBSD)
Single or dual frequency tones (i.e., DTMF tones) present in the receive input (Rin) of the echo canceller for a
prolonged period of time may cause the Adaptive Filter to diverge. The Narrow Band Signal Detector (NBSD) is
designed to prevent this by detecting single or dual tones of arbitrary frequency, phase, and amplitude. When
narrow band signals are detected, adaptation is halted but the echo canceller continues to cancel echo.
The NBSD will be active regardless of the Echo Canceller functional state. However the NBSD can be disabled by
setting the NBDis bit to “1” in Control Register 2.
2.8 Offset Null Filter
Adaptive filters in general do not operate properly when a DC offset is present at any input. To remove the DC
component, the ZL50235 incorporates Offset Null filters in both Rin and Sin inputs.
The offset null filters can be disabled by setting the HPFDis bit to “1” in Control Register 2.
2.9 Adjustable Level Pads
The ZL50235 provides adjustable level pads at Rin, Rout, Sin and Sout. This setup allows signal strength to be
adjusted both inside and outside the echo path. Each signal level may be independently scaled with anywhere from
+9 dB to -12 dB level, in 3 dB steps. Level values are set using the Gains register.
CAUTION: Gain adjustment can help interface the ZL50235 to a particular system in order to provide optimum echo
cancellation, but it can also degrade performance if not done carefully. Excessive loss may cause low signal levels
and slow convergence. Exercise great care when adjusting these values. Also, due to internal signal routings in Back
to Back mode, it is not recommended that gain adjustments be used on Rin or Sout in this mode.
The -12 dB PAD bit in Control Register 1 is still supported as a legacy feature. Setting this bit will provide 12 dB of
attenuation at Rin, and override the values in the Gains register.
2.10 ITU-T G.168 Compliance
The ZL50235 has been certified G.168 (1997), (2000) and (2002) compliant in all 64 ms cancellation modes
(i.e. Normal and Back-to-Back configurations) by in-house testing with the DSPG ECT-1 echo canceller tester.
The ZL50235 has also been tested for G.168 compliance and all voice quality tests at AT&T Labs. The ZL50235
was classified as “carrier grade” echo canceller.

3.0 Device Configuration
The ZL50235 architecture contains 16 echo cancellers divided into 8 groups. Each group has two echo cancellers
which can be individually controlled (Echo Canceller A (ECA) and Echo Canceller B (ECB)). They can be set in
three distinct configurations: Normal, Back-to-Back, and Extended Delay. See Figures 6, 7, and 8.
3.1 Normal Configuration
In Normal configuration, the two echo cancellers (Echo Canceller A and B) are positioned in parallel, as shown in
Figure 6, providing 64 milliseconds of echo cancellation in two channels simultaneously.
Figure 6 - Normal Device Configuration (64 ms)
3.2 Back-to-Back Configuration
In Back-to-Back configuration, the two echo cancellers from the same group are positioned to cancel echo coming
from both directions in a single channel providing full-duplex 64 ms echo cancellation. See Figure 7. This
configuration uses only one timeslot on PORT1 and PORT2 and the second timeslot normally associated with ECB
contains zero code. Back-to-Back configuration allows a no-glue interface for applications where bidirectional echo
cancellation is required.

Back-to-Back configuration is selected by writing a “1” into the BBM bit of Control Register 1 for both Echo
Canceller A and Echo Canceller B for a given group of echo canceller. Table 4 shows the 8 groups of 2 cancellers
that can be configured into Back-to-Back.
Examples of Back-to-Back configuration include positioning one group of echo cancellers between a codec and a
transmission device or between two codecs for echo control on analog trunks.
3.3 Extended Delay configuration
In this configuration, the two echo cancellers from the same group are internally cascaded into one 128
milliseconds echo canceller. See Figure 8. This configuration uses only one timeslot on PORT1 and PORT2 and
the second timeslot normally associated with ECB contains quiet code.
Figure 8 - Extended Delay Configuration (128 ms)
Extended Delay configuration is selected by writing a “1” into the ExtDl bit in Echo Canceller A, Control Register 1.
For a given group, only Echo Canceller A, Control Register 1, has the ExtDl bit. For Echo Canceller B Control
Register 1, Bit 0 must always be set to zero.
Table 4 shows the 8 groups of 2 cancellers that can each be configured into 64 ms or 128 ms echo tail capacity.
4.0 Echo Canceller Functional States
Each echo canceller has four functional states: Mute, Bypass, Disable Adaptation and Enable Adaptation.
4.1 Mute
In Normal and in Extended Delay configurations, writing a “1” into the MuteR bit replaces Rin with quiet code which
is applied to both the Adaptive Filter and Rout. Writing a “1” into the MuteS bit replaces the Sout PCM data with
quiet code.
In Back-to-Back configuration, writing a 1” into the MuteR bit of Echo Canceller A, Control Register 2, causes
quiet code to be transmitted on Rout. Writing a “1 into the MuteS bit of Echo Canceller A, Control Register 2,
causes quiet code to be transmitted on Sout.

In Extended Delay and in Back-to-Back configurations, MuteR and MuteS bits of Echo Canceller B must always be
0”. Refer to Figure 4 and to Control Register 2 for bit description.
4.2 Bypass
The Bypass state directly transfers PCM codes from Rin to Rout and from Sin to Sout. When Bypass state is
selected, the Adaptive Filter coefficients are reset to zero. Bypass state must be selected for at least one frame
(125 µs) in order to properly clear the filter.
4.3 Disable Adaptation
When the Disable Adaptation state is selected, the Adaptive Filter coefficients are frozen at their current value. The
adaptation process is halted, however, the echo canceller continues to cancel echo.
4.4 Enable Adaptation
In Enable Adaptation state, the Adaptive Filter coefficients are continually updated. This allows the echo canceller
to model the echo return path characteristics in order to cancel echo. This is the normal operating state.
The echo canceller functions are selected in Control Register 1 and Control Register 2 through four control bits:
MuteS, MuteR, Bypass and AdaptDis. Refer to the Registers Description for details.
5.0 ZL50235 Throughput Delay
The throughput delay of the ZL50235 varies according to the device configuration. For all device configurations, Rin
to Rout has a delay of two frames and Sin to Sout has a delay of three frames. In Bypass state, the Rin to Rout and
Sin to Sout paths have a delay of two frames.
6.0 Serial PCM I/O channels
There are two sets of TDM I/O streams, each with channels numbered from 0 to 31. One set of input streams is for
Receive (Rin) channels, and the other set of input streams is for Send (Sin) channels. Likewise, one set of output
streams is for Rout PCM channels, and the other set is for Sout channels. See Figure 9 for channel allocation.
The arrangement and connection of PCM channels to each echo canceller is a 2 port I/O configuration for each set
of PCM Send and Receive channels, as illustrated in Figure 9.
6.1 Serial Data Interface Timing
The ZL50235 provides ST-BUS and GCI interface timing. The Serial Interface clock frequency, C4i, is 4.096 MHz.
The input and output data rate of the ST-BUS and GCI bus is 2.048 Mbps.
The 8 KHz input frame pulse can be in either ST-BUS or GCI format. The ZL50235 automatically detects the
presence of an input frame pulse and identifies it as either ST-BUS or GCI. In ST-BUS format, every second falling
edge of the C4i clock marks a bit boundary, and the data is clocked in on the rising edge of C4i, three quarters of
the way into the bit cell (See Figure 13). In GCI format, every second rising edge of the C4i clock marks the bit
boundary, and data is clocked in on the second falling edge of C4i, half the way into the bit cell (see Figure 14).

7.0 Memory Mapped Control and Status registers
Internal memory and registers are memory mapped into the address space of the HOST interface. The internal dual
ported memory is mapped into segments on a “per channel” basis to monitor and control each individual echo
canceller and associated PCM channels. For example, in Normal configuration, echo canceller #5 makes use of
Echo Canceller B from group 2. It occupies the internal address space from 0A0hex to 0BFhex and interfaces to
PCM channel #5 on all serial PCM I/O streams.
As illustrated in Table 3, the “per channel” registers provide independent control and status bits for each echo
canceller. Figure 10 shows the memory map of the control/status register blocks for all echo cancellers.
When Extended Delay or Back-to-Back configuration is selected, Control Register 1 of ECA and ECB and Control
Register 2 of the selected group of echo cancellers require special care. Refer to the Register description section.
Table 4 is a list of the channels used for the 16 groups of echo cancellers when they are configured as Extended
Delay or Back-to-Back.
7.1 Normal Configuration
For a given group (group 0 to 7), 2 PCM I/O channels are used. For example, group 1 Echo Cancellers A and B,
channels 2 and 3 are active.
7.2 Extended Delay Configuration
For a given group (group 0 to 7), only one PCM I/O channel is active (Echo Canceller A) and the other channel
carries quiet code. For example, group 2, Echo Canceller A (Channel 4) will be active and Echo Canceller B
(Channel 5) will carry quiet code.
7.3 Back-to-Back Configuration
For a given group (group 0 to 7), only one PCM I/O channel is active (Echo Canceller A) and the other channel
carries quiet code. For example, group 5, Echo Canceller A (Channel 10) will be active and Echo Canceller B
(Channel 11) will carry quiet code.

7.4 Power Up Sequence
On power up, the RESET pin must be held low for 100 µs. Forcing the RESET pin low will put the ZL50235 in
power down state. In this state, all internal clocks are halted, D<7:0>, Sout, Rout, DTA and IRQ pins are tristated.
The 8 Main Control Registers, the Interrupt FIFO Register and the Test Register are reset to zero.
When the RESET pin returns to logic high and a valid MCLK is applied, the user must wait 500 µs for the PLL to
lock. C4i and F0i can be active during this period. At this point, the echo canceller must have the internal registers
reset to an initial state. This is accomplished by one of two methods. The user can either issue a second hardware
reset or perform a software reset. A second hardware reset is performed by driving the RESET pin low for at least
500 ns and no more than 1500 ns before being released. A software reset is accomplished by programming a “1” to
each of the PWUP bits in the Main Control Registers, waiting 250 µs (2 frames) and then programming a “0” to
each of the PWUP bits.
The user must then wait 500 µs for the PLL to relock. Once the PLL has locked, the user can power up the 16
groups of echo cancellers individually by writing a “1” into the PWUP bit in Main Control Register of each echo
canceller group.
For each group of echo cancellers, when the PWUP bit toggles from zero to one, echo cancellers A and B execute
their initialization routine. The initialization routine sets their registers, Base Address+00hex to Base Address+3Fhex,
to the default Reset Value and clears the Adaptive Filter coefficients. Two frames are necessary for the initialization
routine to execute properly.
Once the initialization routine is executed, the user can set the per channel Control Registers, Base Address+00hex
to Base Address+3Fhex, for the specific application.

7.5 Power Management
Each group of echo cancellers can be placed in Power Down mode by writing a “0” into the PWUP bit in their
respective Main Control Register. When a given group is in Power Down mode, the corresponding PCM data are
bypassed from Rin to Rout and from Sin to Sout with two frames delay. Refer to the Main Control Register section
for description.
The typical power consumption can be calculated with the following equation:
PC = 9 * Nb_of_groups + 3.6, in mW
where 0 Nb_of_groups 8.

7.6 Call Initialization
To ensure fast initial convergence on a new call, it is important to clear the Adaptive Filter. This is done by putting
the echo canceller in bypass mode for at least one frame (125 µs) and then enabling adaptation.
Since the Narrow Band Detector is “ON” regardless of the functional state of Echo Canceller it is recommended that
the Echo cancellers are reset before any call progress tones are applied.
7.7 Interrupts
The ZL50235 provides an interrupt pin (IRQ) to indicate to the HOST processor when a G.164 or G.165 Tone
Disable is detected and released.
Although the ZL50235 may be configured to react automatically to tone disable status on any input PCM voice
channels, the user may want for the external HOST processor to respond to Tone Disable information in an
appropriate application-specific manner.
Each echo canceller will generate an interrupt when a Tone Disable occurs and will generate another interrupt
when a Tone Disable releases.
Upon receiving an IRQ, the HOST CPU should read the Interrupt FIFO Register. This register is a FIFO memory
containing the channel number of the echo canceller that has generated the interrupt.
All pending interrupts from any of the echo cancellers and their associated input channel number are stored in this
FIFO memory. The IRQ always returns high after a read access to the Interrupt FIFO Register. The IRQ pin will
toggle low for each pending interrupt.
After the HOST CPU has received the channel number of the interrupt source, the corresponding per channel
Status Register can be read from internal memory to determine the cause of the interrupt (see Table 3 for address
mapping of Status register). The TD bit indicates the presence of a Tone Disable.
The MIRQ bit 5 in the Main Control Register 0 masks interrupts from the ZL50235. To provide more flexibility, the
MTDBI (bit-4) and MTDAI (bit-3) bits in the Main Control Register<7:0> allow Tone Disable to be masked or
unmasked from generating an interrupt on a per channel basis. Refer to the Registers Description section.
8.0 JTAG Support
The ZL50235 JTAG interface conforms to the Boundary-Scan standard IEEE1149.1. This standard specifies a
design-for-testability technique called Boundary-Scan test (BST). The operation of the Boundary Scan circuitry is
controlled by an Test Access Port (TAP) controller. JTAG inputs are 3.3 V compliant only.
8.1 Test Access Port (TAP)
The TAP provides access to many test functions of the ZL50235. It consists of four input pins and one output pin.
The following pins are found on the TAP.
Test Clock Input (TCK)
The TCK provides the clock for the test logic. The TCK does not interfere with any on-chip clock and thus
remains independent. The TCK permits shifting of test data into or out of the Boundary-Scan register cells
concurrent with the operation of the device and without interfering with the on-chip logic.
Test Mode Select Input (TMS)
The logic signals received at the TMS input are interpreted by the TAP Controller to control the test
operations. The TMS signals are sampled at the rising edge of the TCK pulse. This pin is internally pulled to
VDD1 when it is not driven from an external source.
ZL50235 Data Sheet
23
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.
Test Data Input (TDI)
Serial input data applied to this port is fed either into the instruction register or into a test data register,
depending on the sequence previously applied to the TMS input. Both registers are described in a
subsequent section. The received input data is sampled at the rising edge of TCK pulses. This pin is
internally pulled to VDD1 when it is not driven from an external source.
Test Data Output (TDO)
Depending on the sequence previously applied to the TMS input, the contents of either the instruction
register or data register are serially shifted out towards the TDO. The data from the TDO is clocked on the
falling edge of the TCK pulses. When no data is shifted through the Boundary Scan cells, the TDO driver is
set to a high impedance state.
Test Reset (TRST)
This pin is used to reset the JTAG scan structure. This pin is internally pulled to VSS.
8.2 Instruction Register
In accordance with the IEEE 1149.1 standard, the ZL50235 uses public instructions. The JTAG Interface contains a
3-bit instruction register. Instructions are serially loaded into the instruction register from the TDI when the TAP
Controller is in its shifted-IR state. Subsequently, the instructions are decoded to achieve two basic functions: to
select the test data register that will operate while the instruction is current, and to define the serial test data register
path, which is used to shift data between TDI and TDO during data register scanning.
8.3 Test Data Registers
As specified in IEEE 1149.1, the ZL50235 JTAG Interface contains three test data registers:
Boundary-Scan register
The Boundary-Scan register consists of a series of Boundary-Scan cells arranged to form a scan path
around the boundary of the ZL50235 core logic.
Bypass Register
The Bypass register is a single stage shift register that provides a one-bit path from TDI to TDO.
Device Identification register
The Device Identification register provides access to the following encoded information:
device version number, part number and manufacturer's name.

Figure 12 - The MU Profile
10.0 Functional Description of Register Bits
The Exponential Decay registers (Decay Step Number and Decay Step Size) and Flat Delay register allow the LMS
adaptation step-size (MU) to be programmed over the length of the FIR filter. A programmable MU profile allows the
performance of the echo canceller to be optimized for specific applications. For example, if the characteristic of the
echo response is known to have a flat delay of several milliseconds and a roughly exponential decay of the echo
impulse response, then the MU profile can be programmed to approximate this expected impulse response thereby
improving the convergence characteristics of the Adaptive Filter. Note that in the following register descriptions, one
tap is equivalent to 125 µs (64 ms/512 taps).
FD7-0 Flat Delay: This register defines the flat delay of the MU profile, (i.e., where the MU value is 2-16). The delay
is defined as FD7-0 x 8 taps. For example; If FD7-0 = 5, then MU=2-16 for the first 40 taps of the echo
canceller FIR filter. The valid range of FD7-0 is: 0 FD7-0 64 in normal mode and 0 FD7-0 128 in
extended-delay mode. The default value of FD7-0 is zero.
SSC2-0 Decay Step Size Control: This register controls the step size (SS) to be used during the exponential decay
of MU. The decay rate is defined as a decrease of MU by a factor of 2 every SS taps of the FIR filter,
where SS = 4 x2SSC2-0. For example; If SSC2-0 = 4, then MU is reduced by a factor of 2 every 64 taps of
the FIR filter. The default value of SSC2-0 is 04hex.
NS7-0 Decay Step Number: This register defines the number of steps to be used for the decay of MU where each
step has a period of SS taps (see SSC2-0). The start of the exponential decay is defined as: Filter Length
(512 or 1024) - [Decay Step Number (NS7-0) x Step Size (SS)] where SS = 4 x2SSC2-0.
For example; If NS7-0=4 and SSC2-0=4, then the exponential decay start value is 512 - [NS7-0 x SS] =
512 - [4 x (4x24)] = 256 taps for a filter length of 512 taps.

Functional Description of Register Bits
This register is used to select gain values on RIN, ROUT, SIN and SOUT.
Gains is split into four groups of four bits. Each group maps to a different signal port (as indicated above), and
has three gain bits. The following table indicates how these gain bits are used:
Bit2 Bit1 Bit0 Gain Level
1 1 1 +9 dB

1 0 0 0 dB (default)
0 1 1 -3 dB
0 1 0 -6 dB
0 0 1 -9 dB
0 0 0 -12 dB
Note that the -12 dB PAD bit in Control Register 1 provides 12 dB of attenuation in the Rin to Rout path, and
will override the settings in Gains.

Functional Description of Register Bits
WR_all
Write all control bit: When high, Group 0-7 Echo Cancellers Registers are mapped into 0000hex to
0003Fhex which is Group 0 address mapping. Useful to initialize the 8 Groups of Echo Cancellers
as per Group 0. When low, address mapping is per Figure 10. Note: Only the Main Control
Register 0 has the WR_all bit.
ODE
Output Data Enable: This control bit is logically AND’d with the ODE input pin. When both ODE bit
and ODE input pin are high, the Rout and Sout outputs are enabled. When the ODE bit is low or
the ODE input pin is low, the Rout and Sout outputs are high impedance. Note: Only the Main
Control Register 0 has the ODE bit.
MIRQ
Mask Interrupt: When high, all the interrupts from the Tone Detectors output are masked. The
Tone Detectors operate as specified in their Echo Canceller B, Control Register 2.
When low, the Tone Detectors Interrupts are active.
Note: Only the Main Control Register 0 has the MIRQ bit.
MTDBI
Mask Tone Detector B Interrupt: When high, the Tone Detector interrupt output from Echo
Canceller B is masked. The Tone Detector operates as specified in Echo Canceller B, Control
Register 2. When low, the Tone Detector B Interrupt is active.
MTDAI
Mask Tone Detector A Interrupt: When high, the Tone Detector interrupt output from Echo
Canceller A is masked. The Tone Detector operates as specified in Echo Canceller A, Control
Register 2. When low, the Tone Detector A Interrupt is active.
Format
ITU-T/Sign Mag: When high, both Echo Cancellers A and B for a given group, accept ITU-T
(G.711) PCM code. When low, both Echo Cancellers A and B for a given group, accept sign-
magnitude PCM code.
Law
A/µ Law: When high, both Echo Cancellers A and B for a given group, accept A-Law companded
PCM code. When low, both Echo Cancellers A and B for a given group, accept µ-Law companded
PCM code.
PWUP
Power-UP: When high, both Echo Cancellers A and B and Tone Detectors for a given group, are
active. When low, both Echo Cancellers A and B and Tone Detectors for a given group, are placed
in Power Down mode. In this mode, the corresponding PCM data are bypassed from Rin to Rout
and from Sin to Sout with two frames delay. When the PWUP bit toggles from zero to one, the
echo canceller A and B execute their initialization routine which presets their registers, Base
Address+00hex to Base Address+3Fhex, to default power up value and clears the Adaptive Filter
coefficients. Two frames are necessary for the initialization routine to execute properly. Once the
initialization routine is executed, the user can set the per channel Control Registers for their
specific application.
