73M1903
Modem Analog Front End
PRODUCT DATA SHEET
JANUARY 2004
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The TDK 73M1903 Analog Front End (AFE) IC
includes fully differential hybrid driver outputs,
which connect to the telephone line interface
through a transformer-based DAA. The receive
pins are also fully differential for maximum
flexibility and performance. This arrangement
allows for the design of a high performance
hybrid circuit to improve signal to noise
performance under low receive level conditions,
and compatibility with any standard transformer
intended for PSTN communications applications.

Package options: 32-TQFP and 32-MLF
sample rate circuit to support soft modem and
DSP based implementations of all speeds up to
V.92 (56Kbps). The sampling rates supported
are from 7.2kHz to 14.4kHz by programming
pre-scaler NCO and PLL NCO.
APPLICATIONS
The TDK 73M1903 device incorporates a digital
host interface that is compatible with the serial
ports found on most commercially available
DSPs and processors and exchanges both
payload and control information with the host.

Cost saving features of the device include an
input reference frequency circuit, which accepts
a range of crystals from 9-27MHz. It also
accepts external reference clock values between
9-40MHz generated by the host processor. In
most applications, this eliminates the need for a
dedicated crystal oscillator and reduces the bill
of material (BOM).

The 73M1903 in 32-TQFP package is footprint
compatible with 73M2901CL embedded modem
and allows for the same circuit design to
accommodate soft modem, V.22bis hard
modem, and high speed (V.32bis/V.34/V.92)
applications through population of an external
data pump device.
