1. An integrated circuit comprising:

  • a memory that stores an audio coding algorithm, echo cancellation information, a modem processing algorithm, and audio data;

    a signal converter operably coupled to the memory, wherein the signal converter provides an analog-to-digital input port and a digital-to-analog, output port for the integrated circuit, and wherein the analog-to-digital input port provides the audio data to the memory;

    a central processing unit operably coupled to the memory via a first information bus, and has access to the entire memory, wherein the central processing unit executes at least a first portion of the audio coding algorithm upon the audio data and executes at least a first portion of the modem processing algorithm; and

    a first co-processor operably coupled to only a portion of the memory, via a second information bus, the portion of the memory is used for storing the echo cancellation information, the first co-processor is coupled to the central processing unit, wherein the first co-processor contains an echo cancellation algorithm and performs, utilizing the echo cancellation information, the echo cancellation algorithm upon the audio data under control of the central processing unit.
