DESCRIPTION
The DS2167 and DS2168 are dedicated digital signal
processor (DSP) CMOS chips optimized for Adaptive
Differential Pulse Code Modulation (ADPCM) based
compression algorithms. The devices halve the trans-
mission bandwidth of “toll quality” voice from 64K to 32K
bits/second and are utilized in PCM-based telephony
networks.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The DS2167 and DS2168 contain three major function-
al blocks: a high performance (10 MIPS) DSP “engine,”
two independent PCM data interfaces (“X” and “Y”)
which connect directly to serial time division multiplexed
(TDM) backplanes and a microcontroller-compatible
serial port for on-the-fly device configuration. A 10MHz
master clock is required by the DSP engine. The de-
vices’ dual channel architecture supports full duplex,
dual compression or dual expansion operation. The
PCM data interfaces support 1.544, 2.048 and 4.096
MHz data rates. Each device samples the serial PCM or
ADPCM bit stream during a user-programmed input
timeslot, processes the data and outputs the result dur-
ing a user-programmed output timeslot.
Each PCM interface has a control register which speci-
fies functional characteristics (compress, expand, by-
pass and idle), data format (µ-law or A-law) and algo-
rithm reset control. With the SPS pin strapped high, the
software mode is enabled and the serial port is used to
program control and timeslot registers. In this mode, a
novel addressing scheme allows multiple devices to
share a common 3-wire control bus, simplifying system
level interconnect.
With SPS low, the hardware mode is enabled. This
mode disables the serial port and maps appropriate
control register bits to address and port inputs. Under
hardware mode, no host controller is required and all
PCM I/O defaults to timeslot 0. This stand-alone mode is
compatible with popular codecs.

HARDWARE RESET
RST allows the user to reset both channel algorithms
and register contents. This input must be held low for at
least 1 ms on system power-up after master clock is
stable to assure proper initialization of the device. RST
should also be asserted when changing to/from the
hardware mode. RST clears all bits of the control regis-
ter except IPD; IPD is set for both channels, powering
down the device.

HARDWARE MODE
The hardware mode is intended for preliminary system
prototyping or for applications which do not require the
features of the serial port. Tying SPS to VSS disables
the serial port, clears all internal registers and maps
IPD, µ/A and CP/EX of the X and Y side interfaces to the
port and address inputs. Input and output timeslots for
the X and Y side interfaces are fixed at 0. Such applica-
tions include, but are not limited to: 1) systems in which
timeslot and algorithm are fixed, 2) stand-alone ADPCM
combo applications, 3) “hardware” oriented systems
where no host controller is available.

NOTES:
1. SCLK, A1 and A4 must be tied to VSS when the hardware mode is selected.
2. When both X and Y sides are idled, the devices enter a stand-by mode which significantly reduces power
consumption.
3. The DS2167 will power-up within 200 ms after the X or Y side is reactivated (SDI and/or CS not equal to 0)
from standby.
4. The DS2168 must be hardware reset when reactivated from standby. Power-up occurs immediately after the
reset.

SOFTWARE MODE
Tying SPS high enabled the software mode. In this
mode, a host microcontroller writes configuration data
to the DS2167/DS2168 serial port via inputs SCLK, SDI,
and CS. Independent control and timeslot registers es-
tablish operating characteristics for the X-side and Y-
side PCM interfaces.
ADDRESS/COMMAND BYTE
In the software mode, the address/command byte is the
first byte written to the serial port; it identifies which of 64
possible ADPCM processors sharing the port wiring is
to be updated. Address data must match that at inputs
A0–A5. If no match occurs, the device ignores the fol-
lowing configuration data. If an address match occurs,
the next three bytes written are accepted as control, in-
put and output timeslot data. Bit ACB.6 determines
which side (X or Y) of the device is to be updated.
CONTROL REGISTER
The control register establishes idle, algorithm reset,
bypass, data format and channel coding for the selected
PCM interface.
The X and Y side PCM interfaces may be independently
disabled (output tri-stated) via IPD; when IPD is set for
DS2167/DS2168
022698 6/15
both X and Y interfaces, the device enters a low-power
standby mode. The DS2167 will power-up within
200 ms after the X or Y side is reactivated (IPD=0) from
standby. The DS2168 requires an external hardware re-
set after IPD is cleared to “wake-up” from standby. The
DS2168 will power-up immediately after the low-high
transition on RST.
ALRST resets the algorithm coefficients for the selected
channel to their initial values. ALRST will be cleared by
the device when the algorithm reset is complete.
The bypass feature is enabled when BYP is set and IPD
is clear. During bypass, no expansion or compression of
data occurs. This feature allows the user to interchange
timeslots under control of the timeslot registers. Bypass
operates on byte-wide slots when CP/EX=1, on nibble-
wide slots when CP/EX=0.
A-law (µ/A=0) or µ-law PCM (µ/A=1) coding is indepen-
dently selected for the X and Y side interfaces by bit µ/A.
If BYP and IPD are clear, CP/EX determines if input data
is to be compressed or expanded.
TIMESLOT ASSIGNMENT
On-chip counters establish when PCM data I/O occurs
and are programmed via the timeslot registers. Timeslot
size (4 or 8 bits wide) is determined by the state of
CP/EX. Timeslots are counted from the rising edge of
FSX and FSY.

SERIAL PORT WRITE
All port writes are initiated by driving CS low and termi-
nated when CS returns high.
Data is sampled on the ris-
ing edge of SCLK and must be written to the device LSB
first.
Writes to the device may be two bytes (address/
command and control) or four bytes (address/com-
mand, control, input timeslot and output timeslot) in
length. Writes should be terminated on byte boundaries
to insure data integrity. PCM and ADPCM outputs will
tristate during register updates.
