INTRODUCTIONThe ST70136 ADSL Analog Front End (AFE) chip
implements the analog transceiver functions
required in a Customer Premise ADSL modem. It
connects the digital modem chip with the loop
driver and hybrid balance circuits.
The AFE has been designed with high dynamic
range in order to greatly reduce the external filter-
ing requirements at the front end.
The AFE chip and its companion digital chip along
with a loop driver, implement the complete
G.992.2 and G.992.1 DMT modem solution.
The AFE receive path contains a programmable
gain amplifier (RxPGA), a low pass anti-aliasing
filter, and a 12-bit A/D converter. The RxPGA is
digitally programmable from 0 to 31dB in 1dB
steps.
The AFE transmit path consists of a 14-bit D/A
converter, followed by a programmable gain
amplifier (TxPGA). The transmit gain is program-
mable from 0 to -15dB in 1dB steps.

lowed by bits b[14:0]. At least 1 stop bit "1" need

4 - FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
4.1 - GeneralThe ST70136 consists of the following functional
blocks:
– Transmit Signal Path
– Receive Signal Path
– Bias Voltage and Current Generation
– Digital Data Interface
– Control Serial Interface
– Tone Detector
– Power Down mode management
4.2 - Transmit Path DescriptionThe transmit path contains the 14-bit digital to
analog converter (DAC) necessary to generate
the transmit signal from a 16-bit digital input word.
This transmit signal is then scaled by the on chip
programmable gain amplifier (TxPGA) from 0 to
-15dB in 1dB steps. The scaled output signal is
then driven off chip to the external filters and
power amplifier (PA) which drives the DMT signal
to the subscriber loop. The transmit path is fully
differential.
4.3 - Receive Path DescriptionThe receive path contains first an attenuator
(which allows the selection between 4 attenuated
versions of the signal) followed by a programma-
ble gain amplifier (RxPGA), a 1st order low pass
anti-aliasing filter, and a 12-bit analog to digital
converter (ADC). The RxPGA gain is digitally pro-
grammable from 0 to 31dB in 1dB steps. The
receive path is fully differential.
4.4 - VCXOThe ST70136 contains the circuits required to
construct an internal VCXO. It is divided in a crys-
tal driver and an auxiliary 8 bits DAC for timing
recovery. The crystal driver is able to operate at
35.328MHz.
The DAC which is driven by the CTRLIN pin (the
input of the Serial Control Interface), provides a
current output with 8 bits resolution and can be
used to tune the crystal frequency with the help of
external components. A time constant between
DAC input and VCXOUT can be introduced (via
CTRLIN interface) and programmed with the help
of an external capacitor (on VCOCAP pin).
4.5 - Bias Voltage and Current GenerationThe bias circuitry contains a bandgap voltage ref-
erence from which the converters references and
analog ground voltages are generated. This block
also generates an accurate bias current using an
external resistor.
4.6 - Digital Data InterfaceTo facilitate data transfer between the ST70136
and the digital data pump, a 4-bit wide serial inter-
face for the transmit and receive path is incorpo-
rated into the AFE.
This interface consists of four transmit pins
(TX[0:3]), four receive pins (RX[0:3]), and the nec-
essary control signals (CLKM, CLKWD) to trans-
mit and receive the required data.
ST701369/24
Figure 2 : Digital Data Interface
4.7 - Control Serial InterfaceThere is a 4-pin serial digital interface (CLKWD,
CTRLIN, CTRLOUT, R/W) that access one of the x 12-bit registers that controls all the program-
mable features on the ST70136.
The registers are loaded with the asynchronous
type data burst delivered to CTRLIN pin. It is com-
posed of 16 bits from which the first bit (b15) is
used as start bit (‘0’), the three LSBs (b2:b0) being
used to identify the register to be loaded.
The twelve remaining bits (b14:b3) are the control
data. During a read operation, the CTRLOUT pin
figures out the register contents addressed by
CTRLIN pin.

ST7013612/24
4.8 - Tone DetectorThe tone detector is dedicated for remote activation. It operates during SUSPEND mode with PWD = 0
only. When the tone detector level received Vin over tone 40 or 72 is greater than 15μV peak to peak, the
ACTD pin is set to wake up the modem.
ACTD pin is resetted when the AFE is back in full operating mode (SUSPEND = 0, PWD = 0). The maxi-
mum signal sensitivity at the Tone detector inputs is 50mV peak to peak.
4.9 - Mode Management
4.9.1 - GeneralThe ST70136 can be used in a various range of ATU-R equipments, but a specific mode management
address USB application in its different modes.
In following table, "CPE" is an USB ADSL modem application done with a ST70136 AFE and a ST70137
DMT. The CPE is connected to an USB port of an equipment.
