ISDN Modem/TA and WLL
Features
The HC55171 is backward compatible to the HC5517 with
the added capability of driving 5 REN loads. The HC55171 is
ideal for any modem or remote networking access
application that requires plain old telephone service POTS,
capability. The linear amplifier design allows a choice of
Sinusoidal, Square wave or Trapezoidal ringing. The voltage
feed architecture eliminates the need for a high current gain
node achieving improved system noise immunity, an
advantage in highly integrated systems.

The truth table for the internal logic of the HC55171 is provided in the above table. This family of ringing SLICS can be
configured to support traditional unbalanced ringing and thru
SLIC balanced ringing. Refer to the HC5509A1R3060 for
unbalanced ringing application information. The device operating states used by thru SLIC ringing applications are loop
power denial and normal feed. During loop power denial, the
tip and ring amplifiers are disabled (high impedance) and the
DC voltage of each amplifier approaches ground. The SLIC
will not provide current to the subscriber loop during this mode
and will not detect loop closure. Voice transmission occurs
during the normal loop feed mode. During normal loop feed
the SLIC is completely operational and performs all transmission and supervisory functions.

The entire term in parentheses yields the SLIC power dissipation. The power dissipation of the subscriber loop does
not contribute to device junction temperature and is subtracted from the power dissipation term. Operating at 85oC,
the maximum PLCC SLIC power dissipation is 1.18W. Likewise, the maximum SOIC SLIC power dissipation is 0.92W.

Circuit Operation and Design Information
Introduction
Full Duplex Analog Transmission
The HC55171 is a high voltage Subscriber Line Interface Circuit (SLIC) specifically designed for through SLIC ringing
applications. Through SLIC ringing applications are broadly
defined as any application that requires ringing capability but
does not have the standard wired central office interface. The
most common implementation of the ringing SLIC is in the
analog pots port. The analog pots port provides the ringing
function as well as interface compatibility with answering and
fax machines.
Familiarity with the signal paths of the SLIC is critical in
understanding the full duplex transmission capability of the
device. The analog interfaces of the SLIC are categorized as
2-wire interfaces and 4-wire interfaces.
Subscriber Line Interface Basics
The basic SLIC provides DC loop current to power the handset,
supports full duplex analog transmission between the handset
and CODEC, matches the impedance of the SLIC to the
impedance of the handset and performs loop supervision functions to detect when the handset is off hook. The ringing SLIC
adds through the SLIC ringing capability to this suite of features. The analog interfaces of the SLIC are categorized as the
2-wire interface (high voltage DC, differential AC) and the 4-wire
interface (low voltage DC, single ended AC).
The 2-wire interface of the SLIC consists of the bidirectional
Tip and Ring terminals of the device. A differential transmitter drives AC signals out of the Tip and Ring terminals to the
handset. A differential receiver across Tip and Ring receives
AC signals from the handset. The differential receiver is connected across sense resistors that are in the Tip and Ring
signal paths. The differential transmitter and receiver concept is depicted in Figure 2.

The Tip and Ring terminals of the subscriber line circuit are
biased at negative potentials with respect to ground. The Tip
terminal DC potential is slightly negative with respect to
ground, and the ring terminal DC potential is slightly positive
with respect to the battery voltage (resulting in a large negative voltage). The HC55171 typical Tip DC voltage is -4V and
the typical ring DC voltage is defined as VBAT + 4V. For example, when the battery voltage is -24V the ring voltage is -20V.
To clearly comprehend the Tip and Ring interface it is helpful
to understand that the handset and the SLIC constitute a DC
and AC current loop as shown in Figure 1. The loop is often
referred to as the subscriber loop.

FIGURE 1. SUBSCRIBER LOOP
When the handset is on hook (idle) the phone is an open circuit load and the DC loop current is zero. The SLIC can still
provide AC transmission in this condition, which supports
caller id services. The DC resistance of the off hook handset
is typically 400Ω. Since the Tip DC voltage is more positive
than the ring DC voltage, DC loop current flows from Tip to
Ring when the handset is off hook. The SLIC is designed
with feedback to limit the maximum loop current when the
handset is off hook.

DIFFERENTIAL
RECEIVER
FIGURE 2. DIFFERENTIAL TRANSMIT/RECEIVE CONCEPT
Since the receiver is connected across the transmit signal
path, one may deduce that in addition to receiving signals
from the handset, the receiver will detect part of the transmit
signal. Indeed this does occur and is the reason that all SLIC
circuits require a hybrid balance or echo cancellation function.
The 4-wire interface of the SLIC consists of the receive
(VRX) and transmit (OUT1) terminals. The 4-wire interfaces
are single ended signal paths. The receiver is a dedicated
input port and the transmitter is a dedicated output port. The
4-wire receive input of the SLIC drives the 2-wire differential
transmitter and the 2-wire differential receiver drives the 4wire transmit output.
The complete signal path for voice signals includes two digital data busses, a CODEC and a SLIC. There is a receive
data bus and transmit data bus, each with an independent 3wire serial interface. The CODEC contains a coder and
decoder. The coder converts the SLIC analog transmit output to digital data for the transmit data bus. The receive digital data bus is converted to analog data and drives the SLIC
receive input.
The CODECs use logarithmic compression schemes to
extend the resolution of the 8-bit data to 14 bits. The
accepted compression schemes are A-law (Intersil CODEC CD22357A) and µ-law (Intersil CODEC - CD22354A). The
complete signal path from the handset to the CODEC is
shown in Figure 3.

Impedance Matching
showing the impedance terms is shown in Figure 4.
Impedance matching is used to match the AC source impedance of the SLIC to the AC source impedance of the load.
When the impedance is matched, the voltage level at the
receive input of the SLIC will be the same voltage level that is at
the 2-wire differential output (i.e., Tip and Ring). Impedance
matching applies only to the 2-wire interface, not the 4-wire
interface.
Loop Supervision
Slic AC signal power levels are most commonly assigned the
units dBmO. The term dBmO refers to milliwatts in a 600Ω
load. The typical AC power level is 0dBmO which is 1mW
referenced to a 600Ω load. The relationship between dBmO
and VRMS is provided in Equation 2.
2
( V RMS ) 

dBmO = 10 ⋅ log  1000 ⋅ ------------------------
600 

(EQ. 2)
Substituting 0dBmO into the equation should result in
0.7746 VRMS . For sinusoidal signals, multiply the RMS
voltage by 1.414 to obtain the peak sinusoidal voltage.
The SLIC impedance matching is achieved by applying a feed
back loop from the transmit output of the SLIC to the receive
input of the SLIC. The transmit output voltage of the HC55171
is proportional to the loop current (DC + AC) flowing in the subscriber loop. The impedance matching feedback only uses the
AC portion of the transmit output voltage. Applying a voltage
gain to the feedback term and injecting it into the receive signal
path, will cause the SLIC to “synthesize” a source impedance
that is nonzero. Recall that the impedance matching sets the
SLIC source impedance equal to the load impedance.
The SLIC application circuit requires external sense resistors
in the Tip and Ring signal paths to achieve the differential
receive function. The sense resistors contribute to the source
impedance of the SLIC and are accounted for in the design
equations. Specifically, if the load impedance is 600Ω and
each sense resistor is 50Ω, the SLIC must synthesize an
additional source impedance of 500Ω (i.e., 600Ω - 2(50Ω)).
In addition to the sense resistors, some applications may use a
protection resistor in each of the Tip and Ring leads as part of a
surge protection network. These resistors also contribute to the
SLIC source impedance and can be easily accounted for in the
design equations. If 50Ω protection resistors are added to the
prior example, the SLIC would then have to synthesize 400Ω to
match the load (i.e., 600Ω - 2(50Ω) - 2(50Ω)). A diagram

The SLIC must detect when the subscriber picks up the
handset when the SLIC is not ringing the phone and when
the SLIC is ringing the phone. The HC55171 uses a switch
hook detector output to indicate loop closure when the SLIC
is not ringing the phone. When the SLIC is ringing the
phone, loop closure is indicated by the ring trip detector.
(Recall from earlier discussions that the subscriber loop is
open when the handset is on hook and closed when off
hook. The DC impedance of the handset when off hook is
typically 400Ω.)
When the handset is off hook, DC loop current flows from
Tip to Ring and the transmit output voltage increases to a
negative value. In addition to interfacing to the CODEC and
providing the feedback for impedance matching, the transmit
output also drives the input to a voltage comparator. When
the comparator threshold is exceeded, the SHD output goes
to a logic low, indicating the handset is off hook. When the
call is terminated and the handset is returned on hook, the
transmit voltage decreases to zero, crossing the comparator
threshold and setting SHD to a logic high.
Loop closure must also be detected when the SLIC is ringing
the handset. The balanced ringing output of the SLIC coincides with a zero DC potential between Tip and Ring. Therefore the ring trip must be designed around an AC only
waveform at the transmit output. When the SLIC is ringing
and the handset is on hook, the echo of the ringing signal is
at the transmit output. When the handset goes off hook, the
amplitude of the ringing echo increases. The increase in
amplitude is detected by an envelope detector. When the
echo increases, the envelope detector output increases and
exceeds the ring trip comparator threshold. Then RTD goes
to a logic low, indicating the handset is off hook. When the
system controller detects a logic low on RTD, the ringing is
turned off and the Tip and Ring terminals return to their
typical negative DC potentials.
Design Equations and Operational Theory
The following discussion separates the SLICS’s operation
into its DC and AC path, then follows up with additional circuit design and application information.
HC55171
DC Operation of Tip and Ring Amplifiers
SLIC in the Active Mode
The tip and ring amplifiers are voltage feedback op amps
that are connected to generate a differential output (e.g., if
tip sources 20mA then ring sinks 20mA). Figure 5 shows the
connection of the tip and ring amplifiers. The tip DC voltage
is set by an internal +2V reference, resulting in -4V at the
output. The ring DC voltage is set by the tip DC output voltage and an internal VBAT/2 reference, resulting in VBAT +4V
at the output. (See Equation 3, Equation 4 and Equation 5.)

Current limiting is achieved by a feedback network (Figure 5)
that modifies the ring feed voltage (VD) as a function of the
loop current. The output of the Transversal Amplifier (TA) has
a DC voltage that is directly proportional to the loop current.
This voltage is scaled by RIL1 and RIL2 . The scaled voltage
is the input to a transconductance amplifier (GM) that compares it to an internal reference level. When the scaled voltage exceeds the internal reference level, the
transconductance amplifier sources current. This current
charges CIL in the positive direction causing the ring feed
voltage (VD) to approach the tip feed voltage (VC). This
effectively reduces the tip feed to ring feed voltage (VT-R).
and holds the maximum loop current constant.
VTIP FEED = -4V
TIP AND RING VOLTAGE (V)
RP1
The tip feed to ring feed voltage (Equation 3 minus
Equation 5) is equal to the battery voltage minus 8V. Thus,
with a 48 (24) volt battery and a 600Ω loop resistance,
including the feed resistors, the loop current would be
66.6mA (26.6mA). On short loops the line resistance often
approaches zero and there is a need to control the maximum
DC loop current.
The maximum loop current is programed by resistors RIL1
and RIL2 as shown in Equation 7 (Note: RIL1 is typically
100kΩ).

Transmit Output Voltage
The transmit output voltage in terms of loop current is
expressed as 200x ILOOP. The 200 term is actually formed
by the sum of twice the sense resistors and is shown in the
following equation.
200 × I LOOP = ( 2 ⋅ R S1 + 2 ⋅ R S2 ) × I LOOP
(EQ. 6)
This is a relationship that is critical when modifying the
sense resistor (RS1, RS2). The 200 term factors into the loop
current limit and loop detector functions of the SLIC.
69
Figure 6 illustrates the relationship between VT-R and the
loop resistance. The conditions are shown for a battery
voltage of -24V and the loop current limit set to 25mA. For an
open circuit loop the tip feed and ring feed are at -4V and
-20V respectively. When the loop resistance decreases from
infinity to about 640Ω the loop current (obeying Ohm’s Law)
increases from 0mA to the set loop current limit. As the loop
resistance continues to decrease, the ring feed voltage
approaches the tip feed voltage as a function of the
programmed loop current limit (Equation 7).
HC55171
AC Voltage Gain Design Equations
The HC55171 uses feedback to synthesize the impedance
at the 2-wire tip and ring terminals. This feedback network
defines the AC voltage gains for the SLIC.
The 4-wire to 2-wire voltage gain (VRX to VTR) is set by the
feedback loop shown in Figure 7. The feedback loop senses
the loop current through resistors RS1 and RS2 , sums their voltage drop and multiplies it by 2 to produce an output voltage at
the VTX pin equal to +4RS∆IL . The VTX voltage is then fed into
the -IN1 input of the SLIC’s internal op amp. This signal is multiplied by the ratio RZ0/RRF and fed into the tip current summing
node via the OUT1 pin. (Note: the internal VBAT/2 reference
(ring feed amplifier) and the internal +2V reference (tip feed
amplifier) are grounded for the AC analysis.)

The feedback network, described above, is capable of
synthesizing both resistive and complex loads. Matching the
SLIC’s 2-wire impedance to the load is important to maximize power transfer and maximize the 2-wire return loss.
The 2-wire return loss is a measure of the similarity of the
impedance of a transmission line (tip and ring) and the
impedance at it’s termination. It is a ratio, expressed in decibels, of the power of the outgoing signal to the power of the
signal reflected back from an impedance discontinuity.
Requirements for Impedance Matching
The values for RZ0 and RRF are selected to match the
impedance requirements on tip and ring, for more
information refer to AN9607 “Impedance Matching Design
Equations for the HC5509 Series of SLICs”. The following
loop current calculations will assume the proper RZ0 and
RRF values for matching a 600Ω load.
The loop current (∆IL) with respect to the feedback network, is
calculated in Equations 14 through 17. Where RZ0 = 40kΩ,
RRF = 40kΩ, RL = 600Ω, RP1 = RP2 = RS1 = RS1 = 50Ω.

(EQ. 14)
Impedance matching of the HC55171 application circuit to the
transmission line requires that the impedance be matched to
points “A” and “B” in Figure 7. To do this, the sense and protection resistors RP1 , RP2 , RS1 and RS2 must be accounted
for by the feedback network to make it appear as if the output
of the tip and ring amplifiers are at points “A” and “B”. The
feedback network takes a voltage that is equal to the voltage
drop across the sense resistors and feeds it into the summing
node of the tip amplifier. The effect of this is to cause the tip
feed voltage to become more negative by a value that is proportional to the voltage drop across the sense resistors RP1
and RS1. At the same time the ring amplifier becomes more
positive by the same amount to account for resistors RP2
and RS2 .
The net effect cancels out the voltage drop across the feed
resistors. By nullifying the effects of the feed resistors the
HC55171
feedback circuitry becomes relatively easy to match the
impedance at points “A” and “B”.

Impedance Matching Design Equations
Matching the impedance of the SLIC to the load is
accomplished by writing a loop equation starting at VD and
going around the loop to VC .
The loop equation to match the impedance of any load is as
follows (note: VRX = 0 for this analysis):
 R Z0 

Therefore to match the HC5517, with RS equal to 50Ω, to a

(EQ. 26)
and
R Z0 = R L – 4 R S = 600Ω – 200Ω = 400Ω
(EQ. 27)
To prevent loading of the VTX output, the value of RZ0 and

The HC55171 uses linear amplification to produce the ringing
signal. As a result the ringing SLIC can produce sinusoid,
trapezoid or square wave ringing signals. Regardless of the
wave shape, the ringing signal is balanced. The balanced
waveform is another way of saying that the tip and ring DC
potentials are the same during ringing. The following figure
shows the Tip and Ring waveforms for sinusoid and trapezoid
wave shapes as can be displayed using an oscilloscope.
Pertinent Bellcore Ringing Specifications
Bellcore has defined bounds around the existing unbalanced
ringing signal that is supplied by the central office. The

HC55171 ringing SLIC meets the REN drive requirement, the
crest factor limitations and the minimum RMS ringing voltage.
The foremost requirement is that the ringing source must be
able to drive 5 REN. A REN is a ringer equivalence number
modeled by a 6.93kΩ resistor in series with a 8µF capacitor
(see Figure 10). The impedance of 1 REN at 20Hz is approximately 7kΩ. 5 REN is equivalent to five of the networks in
parallel. Figure 10 provides the Bellcore REN models.
The crest factor of the ringing waveform is the ratio of the
peak voltage to the RMS voltage. For reference, the crest
factor of a sinusoid is 1.414 and of a square wave is 1.0.
Bellcore defines the crest factor range from 1.2 to 1.6. A signal with a crest factor between 1.2 and 1.414 resembles the
trapezoid of Figure 9. A signal with a crest factor between
1.414 and 1.6 resembles a “rounded triangular” wave shape
and is an inefficient waveform for the ringing SLIC.

The sinusoidal circuit published in the HC5517 can be used
as an additional reference circuit for the HC55171. To generate a sinusoid ringing signal, two conditions must be met on
the ringing (VRING) input of the SLIC.
The first condition is that a positive DC voltage, which is directly
related to the battery voltage, must be present at the ringing
input. The DC voltage is used to force the Tip and Ring DC outputs to half the battery voltage. Having both the Tip and Ring
amplifiers biased at the same DC voltage during ringing is one
characteristic of balanced ringing. The centering voltage (VC)
can be calculated from the following equation.
V BAT
V C =  -------------– 4 ⁄ 20
 2 
(EQ. 30)
Substituting values of battery voltage, the centering voltage
is +1.8V for a -80V battery and +1.3V for a -60V battery.
The second condition that must be met for sinusoidal ringing
is a low level ringing signal must be applied to the ringing
input of the SLIC. The AC signal that is present at VRING will
be amplified by a gain of 20 through the Tip amplifier and a
then inverted through the ring amplifier, resulting in a differential gain of 40. The maximum low level amplitude that can
be injected for a given battery voltage can be determined
from the following equation.
V RING ( Max ) = ( V BAT – 8 ) ⁄ 20
(EQ. 31)
The maximum output swing may be increased by driving the
VRING negative by 200mV. Equation 31 can then by
rewritten as:
V RING ( Max ) = ( V BAT – 5 ) ⁄ 20
(EQ. 32)
6930Ω
1 REN
FIGURE 10. BELLCORE RINGER EQUIVALENCE MODELS
The third pertinent Bellcore requirement is the that RMS ringing
voltage must be greater than 40VRMS at the telephone instrument. The HC5517 is able to deliver 40VRMS at the end of
500Ω loops. The 500Ω loop drive capability of the HC5517 is
achieved with trapezoidal ringing.
Sinusoidal Ringing
The HC55171 uses the same sinusoidal application circuit
as the HC5517. The only difference being the values of three
components in the ring trip filter. The following table lists the
components and the different values required by each
device. All reference designators refer to the application
72
Exceeding the maximum signal calculated from the above
equation will cause the peaks of the sinusoid to clip at
ground and battery. The compression will reduce the crest
factor of the waveform, producing a trapezoidal waveform.
This is just one method, though inefficient, for achieving trapezoidal ringing. The application circuit provided with the
HC55171 has been specifically developed for trapezoidal
ringing and may also be used with the HC5517.
Trapezoidal Ringing
The trapezoidal ringing waveform provides a larger RMS
voltage to the handset. Larger RMS voltages to the handset
provide more power for ringing and also increase the loop
length supported by the ringing SLIC.
The HC55171 trapezoidal ringing application circuit will operate for loop lengths ranging from 0Ω to 500Ω. In addition, one
HC55171
set of component values will satisfy the entire ringing loop
range of the SLIC. A single resistor sets the open circuit RMS
ringing voltage, which will set the crest factor of the ringing
waveform. The crest factor of the HC55171 ringing waveform
is independent of the ringing load (REN) and the loop length.
Another robust feature of the HC55171 ringing SLIC is the
ring trip detector circuit. The suggested values for the ring trip
detector circuit cover quite a large range of applications.
The assumptions used to design the trapezoidal ringing
application circuit are listed below:
•
•
•
•
•
Loop current limit set to 25mA.
Impedance matching is set to 600Ω resistive.
2-wire surge protection is not required.
System able to monitor RTD and SHD.
Logic ringing signal is used to drive RC trapezoid network.
Crest Factor Programming
As previously mentioned, a single resistor is required to set
the crest factor of the trapezoidal waveform. The only design
variable in determining the crest factor is the battery voltage.
The battery voltage limits the peak signal swing and
therefore directly determines the crest factor.
A set of tables will be provided to allow selection of the crest
factor setting resistor. The tables will include crest factors
below the Bellcore minimum of 1.2 since many ringing SLIC
applications are not constrained by Bellcore requirements.

Ringing Voltage Limiting Factors
As the load impedance decreases (increasing REN), the
feedback used for impedance synthesis slightly attenuates
the ringing signal. Another factor that attenuates the ringing
signal is the voltage divider formed by the sense resistors
and the impedance of the ringing load. As the load impedance decreases, the 100Ω of sense resistors becomes a
larger percentage of the load impedance.
If surge protection resistance must be used with the
trapezoidal circuit, the loop length performance of the circuit
will decrease. The decrease in ringing loop length is caused
by the addition of protection resistors in series with the Tip
and Ring outputs. The amount of protection resistance that
is added will subtract directly from the loop length. For example if 30Ω protection resistors is used in each of the Tip and
Ring leads, the ringing loop length will decrease by a total of
60Ω. Therefore, subtracting 60Ω from the graphs will provide
the reduced loop length data.
Lab Measurements
The lab measurements of the trapezoidal ringing circuit were
made with the crest factor programming resistor set to 0Ω
and the battery voltage set to -80V. The Bellcore suggested
REN model was used to simulate the various ringing loads.
A resistor in series with the Tip terminal was used to emulate
loop length.
A logic gate is used to drive the RC shaping network. When
the crest factor programming resistor is set to 0Ω, the output
impedance of the logic gate results in a 0.8V/ms slewing
voltage on CTRAP.
Each graph shows the RMS ringing voltage into a fixed REN
load versus loop length. The ringing voltage was measured
across the test load. Each test also verified proper operation
of the ring trip detector. Proper ring trip detector operation is
defined as a constant logic high while ringing and on hook
and a constant logic low when off hook is detected. The
component values in the application circuit provide a ring trip
response in the 100ms to 150ms range.

The trapezoidal application circuit only requires a cadenced
logic signal applied to the wave shaping RC network to
achieve ringing. When not ringing, the logic signal should be
held low. When the logic signal is low, Tip will be near
ground and Ring will be near battery. When the logic signal
is high, Tip will be near battery and Ring will be near ground.

Tip-to-Ring Open Circuit Voltage
The RTD output should be monitored for off hook detection
during the ringing period. At all other times, the SHD should
be monitored for off hook detection. The application circuit
can be modified to redirect the ring trip information through
the SHD interface. The change can be made by rewiring the
application circuit, adding a pullup resistor to pin 23 and setting F0 low for the entire duration of the ringing period. The
modifications to the application circuit for the single detector
interface are shown in Figure 16.
The tip-to-ring open-circuit voltage, VOC, of the HC55171
may be programmed to meet a variety of applications. The
design of the HC5517 defaults the value of VOC to:

Using a zener diode clamping circuit, the default open circuit
voltage of the SLIC may be defeated. Some applications that
have to meet Maintenance Termination Unit (MTU) compliance have a few options with the HC55171. One option is to
reduce the ringing battery voltage until MTU compliance is
achieved. Another option is to use a zener clamping circuit
on VREF to over ride the default open circuit voltage when
operating from a high battery.
If a clamping network is used it is important that it is disabled
during ringing. The clamping network must be disabled to
allow the SLIC to achieve its full ringing capability. A zener
clamping circuit is provided in Figure 18.

ringing. The control pin F0 will either be a constant logic high
(two detector interface) or a logic low (single detector interface). Figure 17 shows the control interface for the dual
detector interface and the single detector interface.

When the base of the pnp transistor is pulled high (+5V), the
transistor is off and the zener clamp is disabled. When the
base of the transistor is pulled low (0V) the transistor is on
and the zener will clamp as long as half the battery voltage is
greater than the zener voltage.
HC55171
Polarity Reversal
The HC55171 supports applications that use polarity reversal
outside the speech phase of a call connection. The most common implementation of this type of polarity reversal is used
with pay phones. By reversing the polarity of the tip and ring
terminals of a pay phone, DC current changes direction in a
solenoid and the coins are released from the phone. To
reverse the polarity of the HC55171, simply toggle the VRING
input high. Setting the VRING input high will cause Tip and
Ring to reverse polarity.
Transhybrid Balance
Since the receive signal and its echo are 180 degrees out of
phase, the summing node of an operational amplifier can be
used to cancel the echo. Nearly all CODECs have an internal amplifier for echo cancellation. The following Figure 19
shows the cancellation amplifier circuit.

FIGURE 19. TRANHYBRID AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT
When the SLIC is matched to a 600Ω load, the echo amplitude is 1/3 the receive input amplitude. Therefore, by configuring the transhybrid amplifier with a gain of 3 in the echo
path, cancellation can be achieved. The following equations:

 R F
 R F 
V O = –  V RX  -------- + V OUT1  -------- 

 R A
 R B 
(EQ. 37)
Substituting the fact that VOUT1 is -1/3 of VRX

 R F

V O = –  V RX  -------- – V RX  ---  -------- 

R
3  R B 

 A
(EQ. 38)
Since cancellation implies that under these conditions, the
output VO should be zero, set Equation 37 equal to zero and
solve for RB.
RA
R B = -------3
(EQ. 39)
Another outcome of the transhybrid gain selection is the 2wire to 4-wire gain of the SLIC as seen by the CODEC. The
1/3 voltage gain in the transmit path is relevant to the receive
input as well as any signals from the 2-wire side. Therefore
by setting the VOUT1 gain to three in the previous analysis,
the 2-wire to 4-wire gain was set to unity.
Single Supply Codec Interface
The majority of CODECs that interface to the ringing SLIC
operate from a single +5V supply and ground. Figure 20
shows the circuitry required to properly interface the ringing
SLIC to the single supply CODEC.
The CODEC signal names may vary from different
manufacturers, but the function provided will be the same.

Layout Guidelines and Considerations
The printed circuit board trace length to all high impedance
nodes should be kept as short as possible. Minimizing length
will reduce the risk of noise or other unwanted signal pickup.
The short lead length also applies to all high gain inputs. The
set of circuit nodes that can be categorized as such are:
•
•
•
•
VRX pin 27, the 4-wire voice input.
-IN1 pin 13, the inverting input of the internal amplifier.
VREF pin 3, the noninverting input to ring feed amplifier.
VRING pin 24, the 20V/V input for the ringing signal.
For multi layer boards, the traces connected to tip should not
cross the traces connected to ring. Since they will be carrying high voltages, and could be subject to lightning or surge
depending on the application, using a larger than minimum
trace width is advised.
VRX
VOUT1
The DC reference from the CODEC is used to bias the
analog signals between +5V and ground. The capacitors are
required so that the DC gain is unity for proper biasing from
the CODEC reference. Also, the capacitors block DC signals
that may interfere with SLIC or CODEC operation.
The 4-wire transmit and receive signal paths should not
cross. The receive path is any trace associated with the VRX
input and the transmit path is any trace associated with VTX
output. The physical distance between the two signal paths
should be maximized to reduce crosstalk.
The mode control signals and detector outputs should be
routed away from the analog circuitry. Though the digital signals are nearly static, care should be taken to minimize coupling of the sharp digital edges to the analog signals.
The part has two ground pins, one is labeled AGND and the
other BGND. Both pins should be connected together as
close as possible to the SLIC. If a ground plane is available,
then both AGND and BGND should be connected directly to
the ground plane.
A ground plane that provides a low impedance return path
for the supply currents should be used. A ground plane provides isolation between analog and digital signals. If the layout density does not accommodate a ground plane, a single
point grounding scheme should be used.
