General Description
The ML2021 is a monolithic analog line equalizer for tele-
phone applications. The ML2021 consists of a switched
capacitor filter that realizes a family of frequency response
curves optimized for telephone line equalization while mini-
mizing group delay.
The ML2021 consists of a continuous anti-aliasing filter,
three programmable switched capacitor equalization filters,
an output smoothing filter, a 600
Ω
driver, and a digital
section for the serial interface.
The equalization filters adjust the slope, height, and band-
width of the frequency response. The desired frequency
response is programmed by a digital 14-bit serial input data
stream.

REV. 1.1.1 3/19/01 7
Functional Description
The ML2021 consists of a continuous anti-alias filter, three
programmable switched capacitor equalization filters, an
output smoothing filter, an output driver, and a digital section
for the serial interface.
Anti-Alias Filter
The first section is a continuous anti-alias filter. This filter is
needed to prevent aliasing of high frequency signal present
on the input into the passband by the sampling action of the
switched capacitor filters. This section is a continuous sec-
ond order lowpass filter with a typical 3 dB frequency at 20
kHz and 30 dB of rejection at 124 kHz.
Equalization Filters
The programmable filters implement a family of frequency
response curves intended to compensate for the response of
telephone lines.
This filter is composed of three distinct sections: slope,
height, and bandwidth.
Response of Slope, Height, and Bandwidth
The family of response curves generated by the slope section
are shown in Figures 2 and 3. There are 4 slope select bits,
S3-S0. These bits alter the slope of the highpass response
under 1000Hz, and as a result, the absolute gain above 1000
Hz will be unique for each setting. Table 1 gives typical 1
kHz gain values for all slope settings.
Table 1. Typ. 1kHz Gain for Slope Settings
HT, BW Bits = 0
There is an additional bit, NL/L, that also affects the high-
pass response of the slope filter. The slope response curves in
Figure 2 are with NL/L = 0. These same response curves are
shown in Figure 3 with NL/L = 1. Notice that the NL/L bit
adds more droop in the highpass response below 2500 Hz.
The family of response curves generated by the height sec-
tion are shown in Figure 4. There are 4 height select bits,
H3-H0. This section creates a peak in the response at 3250
Hz and this filter controls the amount of peaking. Table 2
gives typical 1 kHz gain values for all height and bandwidth
settings.
Table 2. Typ. 1kHz Gain for HT and BW Settings
Slope Bits = 0
The family of response curves generated by the bandwidth
section is shown in Figure 5. There are 4 bandwidth select
bits, B3-B0. This section causes the response of the 3250 Hz
peak to be widened, and as a result, this filter controls the
bandwidth of the 3250 Hz peaked region.
Transfer Function
The transfer function for the ML2021 is shown below. This
transfer function is valid for magnitude response only. The
actual magnitude response from an individual device may
deviate from the computed response from the transfer func-
tion by typically 0–0.2 dB.

Group Delay
The difference between the ML2020 and ML2021 is the
elimination of a 60 Hz highpass filter in order to eliminate
positive group delay at low frequency.
The group delay through the ML2021 can be minimized
such that less than 50µs of group delay can be achieved
in both unloaded and cable loaded conditions relative to
1804 Hz in the frequency range of 504 to 3004Hz. Minimum
group delays are dependant upon using the proper
setting for slope, height, and bandwidth for a give equaliza-
tion requirement.
Smoothing Filter
The equalizer filters are followed by a continuous second
order smoothing filter that removes the high frequency
sample information generated by the action of the switched
capacitor filters. This filter provides a continuous analog
signal at the output, VOUT.
Output Buffer
The final stage in the ML2021 is the output buffer. This
amplifier has internal gain of 1 and is capable of driving
600Ω, 100pF loads. Thus, it is suitable for driving telephone
hybrids directly without any external amplifier.
Bypass Mode
The filter sections can be bypassed by setting the bypass data
bit, BP, to 0. Since the switched capacitor filters are bypassed
in this mode, frequency response effects of the switched
capacitor filters are eliminated. Thus, this mode offers very
flat response and low noise over the 300-4000 Hz frequency
range.
Filter Clock
The master clock, CLK, is used to generate the internal
clocks for the switched capacitor filters. The frequency of
CLK can be either 1.544 MHz or 1.536 MHz. However, the
internal clock frequency must be kept at 1.536 MHz to
guarantee accurate frequency response. The CLKSEL pin
enables a bit swallower circuit to keep the internal clock
frequency set to 1.536 MHz. When 1.544 MHz clock is used,
CLKSEL should be set to logic level 0, and one bit out of
every 193 bits is removed (swallowed) to reduce the internal
frequency to 1.536 MHz. When 1.536 MHz clock is used,
CLKSEL should be set to logic level 1, and the internal clock
rate is the same as the external clock rate.
Serial Interface
The architecture of the digital section is shown in the preced-
ing block diagram.
A timing diagram for the serial interface is shown in Figure
6. The serial input data, SID, is loaded into a shift register on
rising edges of the shift clock, SCK. The data word is paral-
lel loaded into a latch when the input latch signal, LATI, is

high. The LATI pulse must occur when SCK is low. A new
data word can be loaded into the shift register without dis-
turbing the existing data word in the latch.
The parallel outputs of the latch control the filter response
curves. The order of the data word bits in the latch is shown
in Figure 7.
Note that bit 0 is the first bit of the data word clocked into the
shift register.
The device has the capability to read out the data word stored
in the latch. This is done by parallel loading the data from
the latch back into the shift register when the latch signal,
LATO, is high. The LATO pulse must occur when SCK is
low. Then, the data word can be shifted out of the register
serially to the output, SOD, on falling edges of the shift
clock, SCK.
The loading and reading of the data word can be done con-
tinuously or in bursts. Since the shift register and latch cir-
cuitry inside the device is static, there are no minimum
frequency requirements on the clocks or data pulses. How-
ever, there is some coupling of the digital signals in the ana-
log section. If this coupling is undesirable, the data can be
clocked in bursts during non critical intervals, or the data rate
can be done at a frequency outside the analog frequency
range.
The clocks used to shift and latch data (SCK, LATI, LATO)
are not related internally to the master clock and can occur
asynchronous to CLK.

Powerdown Mode
A powerdown mode can be selected with pin PDN. When
PDN = 1, the device is powered down. In this state, the power
consumption is reduced by removing power from the analog
section and forcing the analog output, VOUT, to a high
impedance state. While the device is in power down mode,
the digital section is still functional and the current data word
remains stored in the latch. The master clock, CLK, can
be left active or removed during powerdown mode. When
PDN = 0, the device is in normal operation.
Power Supplies
The digital section inside the device is powered between
VCC and GND, or 5 volts. The analog section is powered
between VCC and VSS, or ±5 volts. The analog section uses
AGND as the reference point.
GND and AGND are totally isolated inside the device to
minimize coupling from the digital section into the analog
section. Typically this is less than 100 µV. However, ANGD
and GND should be tied together physically near the device
and close to the common power supply ground connection.
The power supply rejection of VCC and VSS to the analog
output is greater than –60dB at 1 kHz, typically. If decou-
pling of the power supplies is still necessary in a system,
VCC and VSS should be decoupled with respect to AGND.
