*Note: AMBE+ is only used for speech rates at 3600 bps and higher. Any rates below 3600 bps use
a modified algorithm similar to the AMBE algorithm.
7.3 Echo Cancellation
The AMBE-2000™ Vocoder Chip provides a 16-millisecond echo canceller that is suitable for canceling the local echo caused
by a 2-to-4 wire hybrid and can achieve echo cancellation of approximately 30dB or more. Only the linear portion of the echo
is cancelled, so circuits should be designed to minimize non-linearities.
The AMBE-2000™ Vocoder Chip employs an adaptive echo cancellation algorithm to cancel echoes of the decoder output
present at the encoder input.

Echo Path B
The Echo Return Loss (ERL) of the analog circuit must be 6dB or more (in diagram ERL = Echo Path A – Echo Path B) for
proper echo canceller operation.
The echo canceller can be activated either through the hardware pin 78, ECHOCAN_EN, or through the Control Word
interface described in section 5.2.9. See section 7.1 for an important note about the ECHOCAN_EN pin.
Note: The AMBE-2000™ Echo Canceller will operate with linear codecs only.
