The MSM7602 is an improved version of the MSM7520 with the same basic configuration. The MSM7602 uses a 19.2 MHz clock frequency to meet PHS, the 3 V power supply (2.7 V to 5.5 V), and compact packaging. Also, this device adds the howling detecter control pins and main clook output pins.

The MSM7602 is a low-power CMOS IC device for canceling echo (in an acoustic system or telephone line) generated in a speech path.

Echo is canceled, in digital signal processing, by estimating the echo path and generating a pseudo echo signal.

When used as an acoustic echo canceller, the device cancels the acoustic echo between the loud speaker and the microphone which occurs during hands free communication such as with a cellular phone or a conference system phone.

When used as a line echo canceller, the device cancels the line echo caused by impedance mismatching in a hybrid.

In addition, the MSM7602 makes possible a quality conversation by controlling the noise level and preventing howling with howling detector, double talk detector, attenuation function, and a gain control function. The device also controls the silence level with a center clipping function.

Further, the MSM7602 I/O interface supports μ-law PCM. The use of a single chip CODEC, such as the MSM7566 (3 V) and MSM7543 (5 V), allows an economic and efficient echo canceller configuration.
