GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Intelligent Accessä voice chipsets integrate all functions of the subscriber line. Two chip types
are used to implement the linecard; an Am79231 device and an ISLAC device. These provide the
following basic functions:
1. The Am79231: A high voltage, bipolar device that drives the subscriber line, maintains
longitudinal balance and senses line conditions.
2. The ISLAC device: A low voltage CMOS IC that provides conversion, control and DSP functions
for the Am79231.
Complete schematics of a linecard using the Intelligent Access voice chipsets for external ringing
is shown in Figure 3.
The Am79231 uses reliable, bipolar technology to provide the power necessary to drive a wide
variety of subscriber lines. It can be programmed by the ISLAC device to operate in eight different
modes that control power consumption and signaling. This enables it to have full control over the
subscriber loop. The Am79231 is designed to be used exclusively with the ISLAC devices. The
Am79231 requires only +5 V power and the battery supplies for its operation.
The Am79231 implements a linear loop-current feeding method with the enhancement of intelligent
Thermal Management. This limits the amount of power dissipated on the Am79231 chip by dissipating power in external resistors in a controlled manner.
Each ISLAC device contains high-performance circuits that provide A/D and D/A conversion for the
voice (codec), DC-feed and supervision signals. The ISLAC device contains a DSP core that handles
signaling, DC-feed, supervision and line diagnostics for all channels.
The DSP core selectively interfaces with three types of backplanes:
Standard PCM/MPI
Standard GCI
Modified GCI with a single analog line per GCI channel
The Intelligent Access voice chipset provides a complete software configurable solution to the BORSCHT functions as well as complete programmable control over subscriber line DC-feed characteristics, such as current limit and feed resistance. In addition, these chipsets provide system level
solutions for the loop supervisory functions and metering. In total, they provide a programmable
solution that can satisfy worldwide linecard requirements by software configuration.
Software programmed filter coefficients, DC-feed data and supervision data are easily calculated
with the WinSLACä software. This PC software is provided free of charge. It allows the designer to
enter a description of system requirements. WinSLAC then computes the necessary coefficients
and plots the predicted system results.
The Am79231 interface unit inside the ISLAC device processes information regarding the line voltages, loop currents and battery voltage levels. These inputs allow the ISLAC device to place several
key Am79231 performance parameters under software control.
The main functions that can be observed and/or controlled through the ISLAC backplane interface
are:
DC-feed characteristics
Ground-key detection
Off-hook detection
Metering signal
Longitudinal operating point
Subscriber line voltage and currents
Ring-trip detection
Abrupt and smooth battery reversal
Subscriber line matching

Ringing
Sophisticated line and circuit tests
To accomplish these functions, the ISLIC device collects the following information and feeds it, in
analog form, to the ISLAC device:
The metallic (IMT) and longitudinal (ILG) loop currents
The AC (VTX) and DC (VSAB) loop voltage
The outputs supplied by the ISLAC device to the ISLIC device are then:
A voltage (VHLi) that provides control for the following high-level ISLIC device outputs:
—DC loop current
—12 or 16 kHz metering signal
A low-level voltage proportional to the voice signal (VOUTi)
A voltage that controls longitudinal offset for test purposes (VLBi)
The ISLAC device performs the codec and filter functions associated with the four-wire section of
the subscriber line circuitry in a digital switch. These functions involve converting an analog voice
signal into digital PCM samples and converting digital PCM samples back into an analog signal.
During conversion, digital filters are used to band-limit the voice signals.
The user-programmable filters set the receive and transmit gain, perform the transhybrid balancing
function, permit adjustment of the two-wire termination impedance and provide frequency attenuation adjustment (equalization) of the receive and transmit paths. Adaptive transhybrid balancing is
also included. All programmable digital filter coefficients can be calculated using WinSLAC software.
The PCM codes can be either 16-bit linear two's-complement or 8-bit companded A-law or µ-law.
Besides the codec functions, the Intelligent Access voice chipset provides all the sensing, feedback,
and clocking necessary to completely control ISLIC device functions with programmable parameters.
System-level parameters under programmable control include active loop current limits, feed resistance, and feed mode voltages.
The ISLAC device supplies complete mode control to the ISLIC device using the control bus (P1P3) and tri-level load signal (LDi).
The Intelligent Access voice chipset provides extensive loop supervision capability including offhook, ring-trip and ground-key detection. Detection thresholds for these functions are programmable.
A programmable debounce timer is available that eliminates false detection due to contact bounce.
For subscriber line diagnostics, AC and DC line conditions can be monitored using built-in test tools.
Measured parameters can be compared to programmed threshold levels to set a pass/fail bit. The
user can choose to send the actual measurement data directly to a higher level processor by way
of the PCM voice channel. Both longitudinal and metallic resistance and capacitance can be measured, which allows leakage resistance, line capacitance, and telephones to be identified.

Am79231 Data Sheet
Operating Modes
The Am79231 receives multiplexed control data on the P1, P2 and P3 pins. The LD pin then controls
the loading of P1, P2, and P3 values into the proper bits in the Am79231 control register. When the
LD pin is less than 0.3 V below VREF ( < (VREF – 0.3 V) ), P1–P3 must contain data for relay control
bits RD1, RD2 and RD3. These are latched into the first three bits in the Am79231 control register.
When the LD pin is more than 0.3 V above VREF (> (VREF + 0.3 V) ), P1–P3 must contain ISLIC
control data C1, C2, and C3, which are latched into the last three bits of the Am79231 control register.
Connecting the LD pin to VREF locks the contents of the Am79231 control register.
The operating mode of the Am79231 is determined by the C1, C2, and C3 bits in the control register
of the Am79231. Table 1 defines the Am79231 operating modes set by these signals.
Under normal operating conditions, the ISLIC device does not have active relays. The Am79231 to
ISLAC device interface is designed to allow continuous real-time control of the relay drivers to avoid
incorrect data loads to the relay bit latches of the Am79231 devices.
To perform external ringing, the ISLAC device from the Intelligent Access voice family is set to external
ringing mode (RMODE = 1), enables the ring relay, and puts the Am79231 in the Standby mode.

Mode Descriptions
Operating Mode
Disconnect
Description
This mode disconnects both A and B output amplifiers from the AD and BD outputs. The
A and B amplifiers are shut down and the Am79231 selects the low battery voltage at the
VBL pin. In the Disconnect state, the currents on IMT and ILG represent the voltages on
the SA and SB pins, respectively. These currents are scaled to produce voltages across
V
400
V
400
SA
SB
RMTi and RLGi of ---------- and --------- , respectively.
Standby
The power amplifiers are turned off. The AD output is driven by an internal 250 Ω (typical)
resistor, which connects to ground. The BD output is driven by an internal 250 Ω (typical)
resistor, which connects to the high battery (BATH) at the VBH pin, through a clamp circuit,
which clamps at –50 V with respect to BGND. For VBH values above –55 V, the opencircuit voltage, which appears at this output is ~VBH + 5 V. If VBH is below –55 V, the
voltage at this output is –50 V. The battery selection for the balance of the circuitry on the
chip is VBL. Line supervision remains active. Current limiting is provided on each line to
limit power dissipation under short-loop conditions as specified in the “Am79231 CurrentLimit Behavior” section. In external ringing, the standby ISLIC state is selected.
Tip Open
In this mode, the AD (Tip) lead is opened and the BD (Ring) lead is connected to a clamp,
which operates from the high battery on VBH pin and clamps to approximately –50 V with
respect to BGND through a resistor of approximately 250 Ω (typical). The battery selection
for the balance of the circuitry on the chip is VBL. To prevent excessive power dissipation,
the current in the Ring lead is limited by an internal current source to 30 mA.
Active High Battery
In the Active High Battery mode, battery connections are as shown in Table 1. Both output
amplifiers deliver the full power level determined by the programmed DC-feed conditions.
Active High Battery mode is enabled during a call in applications when a long loop can
be encountered.
Active Low Battery
Both output amplifiers deliver the full power level determined by the programmed DC-feed
conditions. VBL, the low negative battery, is selected in the Active Low Battery mode. This
is typically used during the voice part of a call.
On-Hook Transmission
(OHT), Fixed Longitudinal
Voltage
In the On-Hook Transmission, Fixed Longitudinal Voltage mode, battery connections are
as shown in Table 1. The longitudinal voltage is fixed at –30 V to allow compliance with
safety specifications for some classes of products.
Control bits RD1, RD2, and RD3 do not affect the operating mode of the Am79231. These signals
usually perform the following functions.
Table 3.
Driver Descriptions
Driver
Description
R1
A logic 1 on RD1 turns the R1 driver on and operates a relay connected between the R1
pin and VCCD. R1 drives the ring relay.
R2
A logic 1 on the RD2 signal turns the R2 driver on and routes current from the R2 pin to
the RYE pin. In the option where the RYE pin is connected to ground, the R2 pin can sink
current from a relay connected to VCCD.
Another option is to connect the RYE pin to the BD (Ring) lead through a diode and connect
a test load between R2 and the AD (Tip) lead. This technique avoids the use of a relay to
connect a test load. However, it does not isolate the subscriber line from the linecard. The
test load must be connected to the Am79231 side of the protection resistor to avoid
damage to the R2 driver.
20
Am79231 Data Sheet
Driver
Description
R3
A logic 1 on the RD3 signal turns the R3 driver on and routes current from the R3 pin to
the RYE pin. In the option where the RYE pin is connected to ground, the R3 pin can sink
current from a relay connected to VCCD.
Another option is to connect the RYE pin to the B (Ring) lead through a diode and connect
a test load between R3 and the A (Tip) lead. This technique avoids the use of a relay to
connect a test load. However, it does not isolate the subscriber line from the linecard. The
test load must be connected to the Am79231 side of the protection resistor to avoid
damage to the R3 driver.
Thermal-Management Equations (All Modes except Standby)
TMG resistor-current is limited to be 5 mA < IL.
If IL < 5 mA, no current flows in the TMG resistor
and it all flows in the Am79231.
IL < 5 mA
PSLIC = (SBAT – ILRL) • IL + 0.3 W
PTMG = 0
IL > 5 mA
PSLIC = (SBAT – IL(RL + 2 • RFUSE))*IL + 0.3 W – PTMG
PTMG = (IL – 5 mA)^2 • (RTMG1 + RTMG2)
These equations are valid when
RTMGX • (IL – 5 mA) < (SBAT – RLIL)/2 – 2
because the longitudinal voltage is one-half the
battery voltage and the TMG switches require
approximately 2 V.

Notes:
1. The P1–3 pins are updated continuously during operation by the LD signal.
2. After a power-on reset or hardware reset, the relay outputs from the Am79231 turn all relays off. An
unassuming state is to place the relay control pins, which are level triggered, to a reset state for all relays.
Any noise encountered only raises the levels toward the register lock state.
3. When writing to the ISLIC registers, the sequence is:
a. Set LD pin to mid-state
b. Place appropriate data on the P1–3 pins
c. Assert the LD pin to High or Low to write the proper data
d. Return LD pin to mid-state
4. Am79231 registers are refreshed at 5.33 kHz when used with an ISLAC device.
5. If the clock or MPI becomes disabled, the LD pins and P1–3 returns to 0 V state, thus protecting the Am79231
and the line connection.
6. Not tested in production. Guaranteed by characterization.
