Zarlink has introduced a new generation family of
AEC (ZL38002 and ZL38004). Zarlink recommends
these products for new designs.
Features
• Contains two echo cancellers: 112 ms acoustic
echo canceller + 16 ms line echo canceller
• Works with low cost voice codec. ITU-T G.711 or
signed mag /A-Law, or linear 2’s comp
• Each port may operate in different format
• Advanced NLP design - full duplex speech with
no switched loss on audio paths
• Fast re-convergence time: tracks changing echo
environment quickly
• Adaptation algorithm converges even during
Double-Talk
• Designed for exceptional performance in high
background noise environments
• Provides protection against narrow-band signal
divergence
• Howling prevention stops uncontrolled oscillation
in high loop gain conditions
• Offset nulling of all PCM channels
• Serial micro-controller interface
• ST-BUS, GCI, or variable-rate SSI PCM interfaces
• User gain control provided for speaker path
(-24dB to +48dB in 3dB steps)
• 18 dB gain at Sout to compensate for high ERL
environments
• AGC on speaker path
• Handles up to 0 dB acoustic echo return loss
• Transparent data transfer and mute options
• 20 MHz master clock operation
• Low power mode during PCM Bypass
• Bootloadable for future factory software upgrades
• 2.7 V to 3.6 V supply voltage; 5 V tolerant inputs
