DESCRIPTION
The DS2164Q ADPCM processor chip is a dedicated digital-signal-processing (DSP) chip that has been
optimized to perform adaptive-differential pulse-code modulation (ADPCM) speech compression at three
different rates. The chip can be programmed to compress (expand) 64kbps voice data down to (up from)
either 32kbps, 24kbps, or 16kbps. The compression to 32kbps follows the algorithm specified by CCITT
Recommendation G.726. The DS2164Q can switch compression algorithms on-the-fly. This allows the
user to make maximum use of the available bandwidth on a dynamic basis.

OVERVIEW
The DS2164Q contains three major functional blocks: a high performance (10 MIPS) DSP engine, two
independent PCM interfaces (X and Y) that connect directly to serial time-division-multiplexed (TDM)
backplanes, and a serial port that can configure the device on-the-fly by an external controller. A 10MHz
master clock is required by the DSP engine. The DS2164Q can be configured to perform either two
expansions, two compressions, or one expansion and one compression. The PCM/ADPCM data interfaces
support data rates from 256kHz to 4.096MHz. Typically, the PCM data rates are 1.544MHz for m-law and
2.048MHz for A-law. Each channel on the device samples the serial input PCM or ADPCM bit stream
during a user-programmed input time slot, processes the data and outputs the result during a user-
programmed output time slot.
Each PCM interface has a control register that specifies functional characteristics (compress, expand,
bypass, and idle), data format (m-law or A-law), and algorithm reset control. With the SPS pin strapped
high, the software mode is enabled and the serial port can be used to configure the device. In this mode, a
novel addressing scheme allows multiple devices to share a common 3-wire control bus, simplifying
system-level interconnect.
With SPS low, the hardware mode is enabled. This mode disables the serial port and maps certain control
register bits to some of the address and serial port pins. Under the hardware mode, no external host
controller is required and all PCM/ADPCM input and output time slots default to time slot 0.
HARDWARE RESET
RST allows the user to reset both channel algorithms and the contents of the internal registers. This pin
must be held low for at least 1ms on system power-up after the master clock is stable to ensure that the
device has initialized properly. RST should also be asserted when changing to or from the hardware
mode. RST clears all bits of the control register for both channels except the IPD bits; the IPD bits for
both channels are set to 1.
SOFTWARE MODE
Connecting SPS high enables the software mode. In this mode, an external host controller writes
configuration data to the DS2164Q by the serial port through inputs SCLK, SDI, and CS (Figure 2). Each
write to the DS2164Q is either a 2-byte write or a 4-byte write. A 2-byte write consists of the
address/command byte (ACB), followed by a byte to configure the control register (CR) for either the X
or Y channel. The 4-byte write consists of the ACB, followed by a byte to configure the CR, and then 1
byte to set the input time slot and another byte to set the output time slot.
ADDRESS/COMMAND BYTE
In the software mode, the address/command byte is the first byte written to the serial port; it identifies
which of the 64 possible ADPCM processors sharing the port wiring is to be updated. Address data must
match that at inputs A0 to A5. If no match occurs, the device ignores the following configuration data. If
an address match occurs, the next 3 bytes written are accepted as control, input and output time slot data.
Bit ACB.6 determines which side (X or Y) of the device is to be updated. The PCM and ADPCM outputs
are tri-stated during register updates.

CONTROL REGISTER
The control register establishes idle, algorithm reset, bypass, data format, and channel coding for the
selected channel.
The X-side and Y-side PCM interfaces can be independently disabled (output tri-stated) by IPD. When
IPD is set for both channels, the device enters a low-power standby mode. In this mode, the serial port
must not be operated faster than 39kHz.
ALRST resets the algorithm coefficients for the selected channel to their initial values. ALRST is cleared
by the device when the algorithm reset is complete.

Note: A 2-byte write is shown.
The bypass feature is enabled when BYP is set and IPD is cleared. During bypass, no expansion or
compression occurs. Bypass operates on bytewide (8 bits) slots when CP/ EX is set and on nibble-wide
(4 bits) slots when CP/ EX is cleared.
A-law (U/

by CR.2. If BYP and IPD are cleared, then CP/ EX determines if the input data is to be compressed or
expanded.

TIME SLOT ASSIGNMENT/ORGANIZATION
On-board counters establish when PCM and ADPCM I/O occur. The counters are programmed by the
time slot registers. Time slot size (number of bits wide) is determined by the state of CP/ EX . The number
of time slots available is determined by the state of both CP/ EX and U/
A
(Figures 7 through 10). For
example, if the X channel is set to compress (CP/ EX = 1) and it is set to expect m-law data
(U/
A
= 1), then the input port (XIN) is set up for 32 8-bit time slots and the output port (XOUT) is set up
for 64 4-bit time slots. The time slot organization is not dependent on which algorithm has been selected.
Note: Time slots are counted from the frame sync signal starting at the first rising edge of either CLKX
or CLKY after the frame sync.

HARDWARE MODE
The hardware mode is intended for applications that do not have an external controller available or do not
require the extended features offered by the serial port. Connecting the SPS pin to VSS disables the serial
port, clears all internal register bits, and maps the IPD, U/
A
, and CP/ EX bits for both channels to external
bits (Table 3). In the hardware mode, both the input and output time slots default to time slot 0.

PCM AND ADPCM INPUT/OUTPUT
Since the organization of the input and output time slots on the DS2164Q does not depend on the
algorithm selected, it always assumes that PCM input and output are in 8-bit bytes and that ADPCM
input and output are in 4-bit bytes. Figure 12 demonstrates how the DS2164Q handles the I/O for the
three different algorithms. In the figure, it is assumed that channel X is in the compression mode
(CP/ EX = 1) and channel Y is in the expansion mode (CP/ EX = 0). Also, it is assumed that both the input
and output time slots for both channels are set to 0.
Figure 12. PCM AND ADPCM I/O EXAMPLE
Note 1: The bit after the LSB in the 24kbps ADPCM output is only a 1 when the DS2164Q is operated
in the software mode and is programmed to perform 24kbps compression; in all other configurations, it is
a 0.
DS2164Q

TIME SLOT RESTRICTIONS
Under certain conditions, the DS2164Q does contain some restrictions on the output time slots that are
available. These restrictions are covered in detail in a separate application note. No restrictions occur if
the DS2164Q is operated in the hardware mode.
INPUT TO OUTPUT DELAY
With all three compressions algorithms, the total delay, from the time the PCM data sample is captured
by the DS2164Q to the time it is output, is always less than 375ms. The exact delay is determined by the
input and output time slots selected for each channel.
CHANNEL ASSOCIATED SIGNALING
The DS2164Q supports Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) through its ability to automatically change
from the 32kbps compression algorithm to the 24kbps algorithm. If the DS2164Q is configured to
perform the 32kbps algorithm, then in both the hardware and software mode it senses the frame sync
inputs (FSX and FSY) for a double-wide frame-sync pulse. Whenever the DS2164Q receives a double-
wide pulse, it automatically switches from the 32kbps algorithm to the 24kbps algorithm. Switching to
the 24kbps algorithm allows the user to insert signaling data into the LSB bit position of the ADPCM
output because this bit does not contain any useful speech information.
ON-THE-FLY ALGORITHM SELECTION
In the software mode, the user can switch between the three available algorithms on-the-fly. That is, the
DS2164Q does not need to be reset or stopped to make the change from one algorithm to another. The
DS2164Q reads the control register before it starts to process each PCM or ADPCM sample. If the user
wishes to switch algorithms, then the control register must be updated by the serial port before the first
input sample to be processed with the new algorithm arrives at either XIN or YIN. The PCM and
ACPCM outputs tri-state during register updates.
