RCV56HCF PCI/CardBus Modem Designer’s Guide

4.1.8 Telephone and Local Handset Interface

1.Place common mode chokes in series with Tip and Ring for each connector.

2.Decouple the telephone line cables at the telephone line jacks. Typically, use a combination of series inductors, common mode chokes, and shunt capacitors. Methods to decouple telephone lines are similar to decoupling power lines, however, telephone line decoupling may be more difficult and deserves additional attention. A commonly used design aid is to place footprints for these components and populate as necessary during performance/EMI testing and certification.

3.Place high voltage filter capacitors (.001 µF @1KV) from Tip and Ring to digital ground.

4.1.9 Optional Configurations

Because fixed requirements of a design may alter EMI performance, guidelines that work in one case may deliver little or no performance enhancement in another. Initial board design should, therefore, include flexibility to allow evaluation of optional configurations. These optional configurations may include:

1.Chokes in Tip and Ring lines replaced with jumper wires as a cost reduction if the design has sufficient EMI margin.

2.Various grounding areas connected by tie points (these tie points can be short jumper wires, solder bridges between close traces, etc.).

3.Develop two designs in parallel; one based on a 2-layer board and the other based on a 4-layer board. During the evaluation phase, better performance of one design over another may result in quicker time to market.

4.1.10 MDP Specific

1.Locate the MDP device and all supporting analog circuitry, including the data access arrangement, on the same area of the PCB.

2.Locate the analog components close to and on the side of board containing the TXA1_L1, TXA2_L1, RXA_L1, TELIN_L1, TELOUT_L1 , MIC_M, MIC_V, and SPKROUT_M signals.

3.Avoid placing noisy components and traces near the TXA1_L1, TXA2_L1, RXA_L1, TELIN_L1, TELOUT_L1 , MIC_M, MIC_V, and SPKROUT_M lines.

4.Route MDP modem interconnect signals by the shortest possible route avoiding all analog components.

5.Provide an RC network on the AVAA supply in the immediate proximity of the AVAA pin to filter out high frequency noise above 115 kHz. A tantalum capacitor is recommended (especially in a 2-layer board design) for improved noise immunity with a current limiting series resistor or inductor to the VCC supply which meets the RC filter frequency requirements.

6.Provide a 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor to ground between the high frequency filter and the VAA pin.

7.Provide a 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor to ground between the VCC supply and the AVDD pin.

4.2CRYSTAL/OSCILLATOR SPECIFICATIONS

Recommended surface-mount crystal specifications are listed in Table 4-2.

Recommended through-hole crystal specifications are listed in Table 4-3.

4.3 OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

The DAA design described in this designer's guide is a wet DAA, i.e., it requires line current to be present to pass the signal. Therefore, if the modem is to be connected back-to-back by cable directly to another modem, the modems will not be able to connect. The DAAs must be modified to operate dry, i.e., without line current, when used in this environment.
