4 Channel Interface
AMBE-2000™ Vocoder Chip
User’s Manual Version 3.0
4.1 Overview
The Channel Interface is the general term used for the interface for the compressed bits coming from the encoder and the
compressed bits going to the decoder. This same interface is also used to output status information from the encoder and
decoder such as whether a DTMF tone has just been detected in the speech input, or whether the decoder has detected and
synthesized a frame of silence. Additionally, this interface is used to perform more complex control operations on both the
encoder and decoder (usually at start-up). These control functions include speech data and FEC rate control as well as enabling
features such as echo cancellation.
It is important to realize that not all data being output from the AMBE-2000 is intended for transmission over the channel.
Status type of data is typically only useful at the ‘local’ end. In most voice transmission systems, the actual encoded bits are
extracted from the channel formatting, combined into the systems transmission stream, sent over the transmission path,
extracted from the transmission path at the receiving end, and reassembled into the AMBE-2000’s channel format for synthesis
by the decoder.

4.2 Serial Configuration Selection
The hardware interface to the Channel Interface is configured as a serial interface based exclusively on the hardware settings of
CHANN_SEL[1-0]. See Table 4-A.
