GSM.G1-HW-09002-F3 Preliminary System description
Page 64 of 101
Two different sample-based sample rate converters are used: an interpolator, required to convert the sample-
based voice-band processing sampling rate of 8 kHz to the analog audio front-end output rate of 47.6 kHz; a
decimator, required to convert the circular buffer sampling rate of 47.6 kHz to the I2Sx TX or the uplink path
sample rate of 8 kHz.
1.10.3.1 Audio codecs
The following speech codecs are supported by firmware on the DSP:
GSM Half Rate (TCH/HS)
GSM Full Rate (TCH/FS)
GSM Enhanced Full Rate (TCH/EFR)
3GPP Adaptive Multi Rate (AMR) (TCH/AFS+TCH/AHS)
1.10.3.2 Echo cancelation and noise reduction
LEON-G100/G200 support algorithms for echo cancellation, noise suppression and automatic gain control.
Algorithms are configurable with AT commands (refer to the u-blox 2G GSM/GPRS AT Commands Manual [2]).
1.10.3.3 Digital filters and gains
Audio parameters such as digital filters, digital gain, Side-tone gain (feedback from uplink to downlink path) and
analog gain are available for uplink and downlink audio paths. These parameters can be modified by dedicated
AT commands and be saved in 2 customer profiles in the non-volatile memory of the module (refer to the u-blox
2G GSM/GPRS AT Commands Manual [2]).
1.10.3.4 Ringer mode
LEON-G100/G200 modules support polyphonic ring tones. The ringer tones are generated by a built-in generator
on the chipset and then amplified by the internal amplifier.
The synthesizer output is only mono and cannot be mixed with TCH voice path (the two are mutually exclusive).
To perform in-band alerting during TCH with voice path open, only Tone Generator can be used.
The analog audio path used in ringer mode can be the high power differential audio output (refer to u-blox 2G
GSM/GPRS AT Commands Manual [2]; AT+USPM command, <main_downlink> and <alert_sound> parameters
for alert sounds routing). In this case the external high power loudspeaker must be connected to the
SPK_P/SPK_N output pins of the module as shown in the application circuit (Figure 38) described in section
1.10.1.5.
1.11 ADC input (LEON-G100 only)
One Analog to Digital Converter input is available (ADC1) and is configurable using u-blox AT command (see
u-blox 2G GSM/GPRS AT Commands Manual [2]). The resolution of this converter is 12-bit with a single ended
input range.

Table 27: ADC pin
ADC1 pin ESD rating is 1 kV (contact discharge). A higher protection level could be required if the line is
externally accessible on the application board. A higher protection level can be achieved mounting an
ESD protection (e.g. EPCOS CA05P4S14THSG varistor array) on the line connected to this pin if it is
externally accessible on the application board.
If the ADC1 pin is not used, it can be left floating on the application board.
