General Description
The AS2540 is a CMOS integrated circuit that
incorporates a speech circuit (line-adaptation, 2/4-wire
conversion, separate Rx- and Tx-amplifiers for handset
and modem), MF dialler, ring frequency detector, ring
melody generator and a two wire serial interface. It
shall act as an a/b-line-powered device in order to
interface a main-powered CPU to the analogue
telephone line.
AS2540 can operate in a so-called mainpower mode
and in a backup mode. During mainpower mode, a
watchdog timer is running on AS2540, which has to be
reset via the serial interface, which is connected to the
CPU through opto-couplers. During backup mode (=
The main-power failure or SW engine problem),
AS2540 can operate as an independent basic MF
dialler (digits 0-9*#)
