AS2507
FSK Modulator
Functional Description
Two signalling modes are provided, namely
FSK and burst mode. The signalling mode and
The AS2507 is a CMOS integrated circuit that
incorporates a speech circuit and a FSK
modem. It is intended to be used as line-
powered interface on a 2-wire intercom bus.
the signalling can be controlled by
a
microcontroller using the TE and TXD inputs
as follows:

During standby operation (PD=High) only the
FSK demodulator is active to provide the
companion microcontroller with all signalling
information on the 2-wire bus. The low power
consumption (typical 2mA) and a high input
and output impedance in standby mode allow
the parallel operation of many terminals on
each bus pair.
FSK Demodulator
Also the demodulator provides two modes for
detection as follows:

2/4-Wire Conversion
IDLE, no transmission

MARK ("1") 22.375 kHz

The AS2507 has
a
built-in side tone
cancellation circuit. The transmit signal is
attenuated by 6 dB over the 600Ω resistor (ac
impedance) and subtracted from the receive
signal at the receive input (RI). This
configuration allows the selection of the
required ac impedance and yet maintaining a
good side tone cancellation.
The demodulator consists out of a bandpass
filter to attenuate interfering speech signals
and a period counter. The RxD output is
updated after each valid period or a counter
overflow.
AC Impedance
Transmission Protocol
The ac impedance is determined by an
external resistor at the TO output (typical
600Ω).
In order to assure a safe data transmission,
data framing is recommended. Each frame
should consist out of a preamble (e.g. FFhex),
a
header (e.g. AAhex), data bytes and

The gain of the transmit path from the
microphone inputs (M1/M2) to the transmit
output (TO) is set to 32 dB. The soft clip level

to the 2-wire bus independent from polarity. In
this case a rectifier bridge, known from
telephony, is recommended since the DC-
supply current will bias the diodes.
impedance is 60kΩ.
Receive Path
The gain of the receive path from the receive
input (RI) to the receive output (RO) is set to
-6dB. The receive input is internally biased to
