SICOFI®-4-µC Block Diagram
The SICOFI-4-µC bridges the gap between analog and digital voice signal transmission
in modern telecommunication systems. High performance oversampling
Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC) and Digital-to-Analog Converters (DAC) provide the
conversion accuracy required. Analog antialiasing prefilters (PREFI) and smoothing
postfilters (POFI) are included. The connection between the ADC and the DAC (with high
sampling rate) and the DSP, is done by specific Hardware Filters, for filtering like
interpolation and decimation. The dedicated Digital Signal Processor (DSP) handles all
the algorithms necessary e.g. for PCM bandpass filtering, sample rate conversion and
PCM companding. The PCM-interface handles digital voice transmission, a serial
µC-interface handles SICOFI-4-µC feature control and transparent access to the
SICOFI-4-µC command and indication pins. To program the filters, precalculated sets of
coefficients are downloaded from the system to the on-chip Coefficient-RAM (CRAM).
