6 OUTPUT LINES (Speaker)
6.1 Short description.
The Telit GM862-GPS provides two audio paths in receive section. Only one of the two paths c an be
active at a time, selectable by AXE hardware line or by AT command.
You must keep in mind the different audio characteristics of the receive blocks when designing :
Æ
the Ear_MTlines EPN1 and EPP1 are the Differential Line-Out Drivers ; they can drive an
external amplifier or directly a 16 earpiece at –12dBFS (*) ;
Æ the “Ear_HFlines EPPA1_2 and EPPA2 are the Fully Differential Power Buffers ; they can directly
drive a 16 speaker in differential (balanced) or single ended (unbalanced) operation mode .
(*) FS : acronym of Full Scale. It is equal to 0dB, the maximum Hardware Analog Receive Gain of
BaseBand Chip.
The Ear_MTaudio path should be used for handset function, while the “Ear_HFaudio path is suited
for hands-free function (car kit).
Both receiver outputs are B.T.L. type (Bridged Tie Load) and the OEM circuitry shall be designed
bridged to reduce the common mode noise typically generated on the ground plane and to get the
maximum power output from the device; however also a single ended circuitry can be designed for
particular OEM application needs.
