Abstract

The invention relates to a compressor and an expander for use in a compander realized in CMOS-technology which is used to improve speech quality in mobile phone systems AMPS (NAMPS), NMT and TACS (JTACS, ETACS, NTACS). The compander is integrated with other functions of the mobile phone. The compressor and expander have SC-amplifiers controlled by a control logic. A double comparator XOR-block is used in the control of the amplifiers.
