4 Initial Design Considerations
Some of the initial design considerations the application engineer will face are the following:
Speech and FEC rates. (2000 – 9600 bps)
Mode of operation (codec mode or packet mode)
Choice of codec interface. (SPI, McBSP) - for codec mode only!
Choice of packet interface. (UART, McBSP, PPT)
Choice of A/D-D/A chip. - for codec mode only!
Implementing the AMBE-3000F™ Vocoder Chip into a communication system requires the selection of various components.
The AMBE-3000F™ Vocoder Chip offers multiple interfaces for flexibility in integration into a variety of design
configurations.
In its simplest model, the AMBE-3000F™ Vocoder Chip can be viewed as two separate components, the Encoder and the
Decoder. The Encoder receives an 8 kHz sampled stream of speech data (16-bit linear, 8-bit A-law, or 8-bit µ-law) and outputs
a stream of channel data at the desired rate. Simultaneously, the AMBE-3000F™ Vocoder Chip receives compressed voice
channel data. This data is decoded by the AMBE-3000F™ Vocoder Chip, then reconstructed into a digital speech signal and
sent to the D/A. The encoder and decoder functions are fully asynchronous.
The special functions of the AMBE-3000F™ Vocoder Chip, such as echo cancellation, voice activity /detection, power mode
control, data/FEC rate selection, etc. can be controlled either through hardware control pins and/or through the packet interface.
Figure 17 Basic Operation
4.1 Vocoder Speech and FEC Rate Selection
The voice coding rate as well as the FEC coding rate can be selected individually on the AMBE-3000F™ Vocoder Chip.
These rates are selected by using a configuration control packet, or through hardware configuration pins. The hardware
configuration pins provide the user with 62 pre-configured voice/FEC rates. If rates other than these are desired, then a
configuration control packet can be used to configure voice and FEC rates in 50 bps increments.
4.2 Interface Selection
Basic communication to/from the AMBE-3000F™ Vocoder Chip consists of input digitized speech data samples, output
digitized speech data samples, input compressed speech data and output compressed speech data. There are four physical
interfaces (SPI, McBSP, UART and Parallel) used to transfer the data to/from the AMBE-3000F™ Vocoder Chip.
