Protection Against High Voltages

Telephone systems may have high d.c. and a.c. voltages present on the line. If the MX641 is part of a host

equipment that has its own signal input protection circuitry, there will be no need for further protection as long

If the host system does not have input protection, or there are signals present outside the device's specified

limits, the MX641 will require protection diodes at its signal inputs (+ and -). The breakdown voltage of

capacitors and the peak inverse voltage of the diodes must be sufficient to withstand the sum of the d.c.

voltages plus all expected signal peaks.

5.1.3

Aliasing

Due to the sampling nature of switched-capacitor filters used in the MX641, high frequency noise or unwanted

signals can alias into the passband, disrupting detection. External components must be chosen carefully to

avoid alias effects.

Possible Alias Frequencies:

12kHz Mode = 52kHz

16kHz Mode = 69kHz

If other filtering in the system has not attenuated these alias frequencies, capacitors should be employed

across resistors R3, R4, R7 and R8 to provide anti-alias filtering.

The low-pass cutoff frequency should be chosen to be approximately 20kHz to 25kHz for a 12kHz system, or

25kHz to 30kHz for a 16kHz system.

When anti-alias capacitors are used, an allowance must be made for reduced gain at the SPM frequency

(12kHz or 16kHz).
