Features
• Thru-SLIC Open Circuit Ringing Voltage up to
77VPEAK/54VRMS, 3 REN Capability at 44VRMS
he HC5517 is a ringing SLIC designed to accommodate a wide
variety of local loop applications. The various applications
include, basic POTS lines with answering machines and fax
capabilities, ISDN networks, wireless local loop, and hybrid
fiber coax (HFC) terminals. The HC5517 provides a high
degree of flexibility with open circuit tip to ring DC voltages, user
defined ringing waveforms (sinusoidal to square wave), ring trip
detection thresholds and loop current limits that can be tailored
for many applications. Additional features of the HC5517 are
complex impedance matching, pulse metering and transhybrid
balance. The HC5517 is designed for use in systems where a
separate ring generator is not economically feasible.
• Sinusoidal Ringing Capability
• DI Process Provides Substrate Latch Up Immunity when
Driving Inductive Ringers
• Adjustable On-Hook Voltage for Fax and Answering
Machine Compatibility
• Resistive and Complex Impedance Matching
• Programmable Loop Current Limit
• Switch Hook and Adjustable Ring Trip Detection
The device is manufactured in a high voltage Dielectric Isolation
(DI) process with an operating voltage range from -16V, for offhook operation and -80V for ring signal injection. The DI
process provides substrate latch up immunity, resulting in a
robust system design. Together with a secondary protection
diode bridge and “feed” resistors, the device will withstand
1000V lightning induced surges, in a plastic package.
• Pulse Metering Capability
A thermal shutdown with an alarm output and line fault
protection are also included for operation in harsh
environments.

HC5517
Circuit Operation and Design Information
The HC5517 is a voltage feed current sense Subscriber Line
Interface Circuit (SLIC). This means that for long loop applications the SLIC provides a constant voltage to the tip and
ring terminals while sensing the tip to ring current. For short
loops, where the loop current limit is exceeded, the tip to ring
voltage decreases as a function of loop resistance.
The following discussion separates the SLIC’s operation into
its DC and AC path, then follows up with additional circuit
design and application information.
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 1 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 1, Equation 2 and Equation 3.)
Current Limit
The tip feed to ring feed voltage (Equation 1 minus
Equation 3) 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 is 66.6mA
(26.6mA). On short loops the line resistance often
approaches zero and the need exists to control the
maximum DC loop current.
Current limiting is achieved by a feedback network (Figure 1)
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 R10 and R28 . 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 C16 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.

Figure 2 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 a infinite loop resistance both 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 programed loop current limit (Equation 4).
HC5517
AC Voltage Gain Design Equations
Substituting the expressions for VC and VD :
The HC5517 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 3. The feedback loop senses
the loop current through resistors R13 and R14 , 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 R8 /R9 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 current into the OUT1 pin is equal to:
4R S ∆I L  R 8
I OUT1 = – --------------------  -------
R  R 9
(EQ. 5)
Equation 6 is the node equation for the tip amplifier summing
node. The current in the tip feedback resistor (IR) is given in
Equation 7.

The AC voltage at VC is then equal to:

 R 8
V C = – 4 R S ∆I L  ------- + V RX

(EQ. 9)
and the AC voltage at VD is:
 R 8

(EQ. 10)
The values for R8 and R9 are selected to match the
impedance requirements on tip and ring, for more
information reference AN9607 “Impedance Matching Design
Equations for the HC5509 Series of SLICs”. The following
loop current calculations will assume the proper R8 and R9
values for matching a 600Ω load.
The loop current (∆IL) with respect to the feedback network,
is calculated in Equations 11 through 14. Where R8 = 40kΩ,
R9 = 40kΩ, RL = 600Ω, R11 = R12 = R13 = R14 = 50Ω.

the 4-wire to 2-wire AC voltage gain is equal to one.

Impedance Matching
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 minimize 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
Impedance matching of the HC5517 application circuit to the
transmission line requires that the impedance be matched to
points “A” and “B” in Figure 3. To do this, the sense resistors
R11 , R12 , R13 and R14 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 R11 and R13 . At the
same time the ring amplifier becomes more positive by the
HC5517

Tip-to-Ring Open-Circuit Voltage
The tip-to-ring open-circuit voltage, VOC , of the HC5517 is
programmable to meet a variety of applications. The design
of the HC5517 defaults the value of VOC to:
V OC ≅ V BAT – 8
The HC5517 application circuit overrides the default VOC
operation when operating from a -80V battery. While operating from a -80V battery, the SLIC will be in either the ringing
mode or on-hook standby mode. In the ringing mode, VOC is
designed to switch from 0V (centering voltage) to -47V
(Maintenance Termination Unit voltage). The centering voltage is active during the ringing portion of the ringing waveform and the Maintenance Termination Unit (MTU) voltage is
active during the silent portion of the ringing signal. In the
on-hook standby mode, the application circuit is designed to
maintain VOC at the MTU voltage.
Centering Voltage Application Circuit Overview
The centering voltage is used during ringing to center the
DC outputs of the tip feed and ring feed amplifiers. Centering
the amplifier outputs allows for the maximum undistorted
voltage swing of the ringing signal. Without centering, the
output of each amplifier would saturate at ground or VBAT,
minimizing the ringing capability of the HC5517. The
required centering voltage, VC , is +1.8VDC when operating
from a -80V battery.
Centering Voltage Application Circuit Operation
The circuit used to generate the centering voltage is shown
in Figure 5.

The circuitry within the dotted lines is internal to the
HC5517. The value of the resistor designated as R is 108kΩ
and the resistor R/20 is 5.4kΩ. The tip amplifier gain of
20V/V amplifies the +1.8VDC at VC to +36VDC and adds it to
the internal 4VDC offset, generating -40VDC at the tip
amplifier output. The -40VDC offset also sums into the ring
amplifier, adding to the battery voltage, achieving -40V at the
ring amplifier output.
Centering Voltage Design Equations
The centering voltage (VC) is dependent on the battery
voltage. A battery voltage of -80V requires a +1.8VDC
centering voltage. The equation used to calculate the
centering voltage is shown below.

The shunt resistor of the divider network, R18 , is not
determined from a design equation. It is selected based on
the trade-off of power dissipation in the voltage divider (low
value of R18) and loading affects of the internal R/20 resistor
(high value of R18). The suggested range of R18 is between
1.0kΩ and 2.0kΩ. The application circuit design equation
used to calculate the value of R19 of the divider network is
as follows:
HC5517

where: VD13 forward drop of D13 , 0.63V.
VD6 forward drop of D6 , 0.54V.
R18 is the shunt resistor of the divider, 1.1kΩ.
RIN is the input impedance of VRING , 5.4kΩ.
VC is the required centering voltage, 1.8V, VBAT = -80V.
VCC is the +5V supply.
Centering Voltage Logic Control
The pnp transistor T2 is used to defeat the voltage divider
formed by R19 , R18 , D13 and D6 . When T2 is off (RC is logic
high), +5VDC is divided to produce +1.8VDC at the VRING
input. When T2 is on (RC is logic low), its emitter base voltage of +0.9VDC is divided resulting in +0.2V at the anode of
D6 , hence reverse biasing the diode (D6) and floating the
VRING pin.
MTU Voltage Application Circuit Overview
According to Bellcore specification TR-NWT-000057, an
MTU voltage may be required by some operating
companies. The minimum allowable voltage to meet MTU
requirements is -42.75V, which is used by measurement
equipment to verify an active line. Also, some facsimile and
answering machines use the MTU voltage as an indication
that the telephone is on-hook or not answered. In addition to
the Bellcore specification, FCC Part 68.306 requires that the
maximum tip to ground or ring to ground voltage not exceed
-56.5V for hazardous voltage limitations. These two requirements have been combined and the resulting range is
defined as the MTU voltage. The HC5517 application circuit
can be programmed to any voltage within this range using
the zener clamping circuit.

The same pnp transistor, T2 , that is used to control the
centering voltage is also used to control the MTU voltage.
The application circuit uses T2 to ground or float the anode
of the zener diode D11 . When RC is a logic low (T2 on) the
anode of D11 is referenced to ground through the collector
base junction of the transistor. Current then flows through
the zener, allowing the ring amplifier input to be clamped.
When RC is a logic high (T2 off) the anode of D11 floats,
inhibiting the clamping action of the zener.
HC5517 Modes of Operation
The four modes of operation of the HC5517 Ringing SLIC
are ringing, on-hook standby, off-hook active and power
denial. Three control signals select the operating mode of
HC5517
the SLIC. The signals are Battery Switch, F1 and Ring
Cadence (RC). The active application circuit and active
supervisory function are different for each mode, as shown
in the Table 2.
Mode Control Signals
The Battery Switch selects between the -80V and -24V
supplies. The Battery Switch circuitry is described in the
“Operation of the Battery Switch” section. A system alternative to the battery switch signal is to use a buffered version of
the SHD output to select the battery voltage. Another alternative is to control the output of a programmable battery
supply, removing the battery switch entirely from the application circuit. F1 is used to put the SLIC in the power denial
mode. RC drives the base of T2 , which is the transistor used
to control the centering voltage and MTU voltage. The three
control signals can be driven from a TTL logic source or an
open collector output
The ringing function requires an input ringing waveform and
a centering voltage. The ringing waveform is the signal from
the 4-wire side that is amplified by the SLIC to ring the telephone. The centering voltage, as previously discussed, is a
positive DC offset that is applied to the VRING input along
with the ringing waveform. The HC5517 application circuit
provides the centering voltage, simplifying the system
interface to an AC coupled ringing waveform.
Ringer Equivalence Number
Before any further discussion, the Ringer Equivalence
Number or REN must be discussed. Based on FCC Part
68.313 a single REN can be defined as 5kΩ, 7kΩ or 8kΩ of
AC impedance at the ringing frequency. The ringing frequency is based on the ringing types listed in Table 1 of the
FCC specification. The impedance of multiple REN is the
paralleling of a single REN. Therefore 5 REN can either be
1kΩ, 1.4kΩ or 1.6kΩ. The 7kΩ model of a single REN will be
used throughout the remainder of the data sheet.
RINGING MODE
The ringing state, as the name indicates, is used to ring the
telephone with a -80V battery supply. The SLIC is designed
for balanced ringing with a differential gain of 40V/V across tip
and ring. Voltage feed amplifiers operating in the linear mode
are used to amplify the ringing signal. The linear amplifier
approach allows the system designer to define the shape and
amplitude of the ringing waveform. Both supervisory function
outputs, SHD and RTD, are active during ringing.
Ringing Waveform
An amplitude of 1.2VRMS will deliver approximately 46VRMS
to a 1 REN load, and 42VRMS to a 3 REN load. The amplitude is REN dependent and is slightly attenuated by the
feedback scheme used for impedance matching. The ringing
waveform is cadenced, alternating between a 20Hz burst
and a silent portion between bursts. Bellcore specification
TR-NWT-000057 defines seven distinct ringing waveforms or
alerting (ringing) patterns. The following table lists each type.
Spectral Content of the Ringing Signal
TABLE 1. DISTINCTIVE ALERTING PATTERNS
The shape of the waveform can range from sinusoidal to
trapezoidal. Sinusoidal waveforms are spectrally cleaner
than trapezoidal waveforms, although the latter does result
in lower power dissipation across the SLIC for a given RMS
amplitude. Systems where the ringing signal will be in proximity to digital data lines will benefit from the sinusoidal ringing capability of the HC5517. The slow edge rates of a
sinusoid will minimize coupling of the large amplitude ringing
signal. The linear amplifier architecture of the HC5517
allows the system designer to optimize the design for power
dissipation and spectral purity.
Amplitude of the Ringing Signal
Amplitude control is another benefit of the linear amplifier
architecture. Systems that require less ringing amplitude are
able to do so by driving the HC5517 with a lower level ringing
waveform. Solutions that use saturated amplifiers can only
vary the amplitude of the ringing signal by changing the
negative battery voltage to the SLIC.
HC5517 Through SLIC Ringing
The HC5517 is designed with a high gain input, VRING , that
the system drives while ringing the phone. VRING is one of
many signals summed at the inverting input to the tip feed
amplifier. The gain of the VRING signal through the tip feed
amplifier is set to 20V/V. The output of the tip feed amplifier
is summed at the inverting input of the ring feed amplifier,
configured for unity gain. The result is a differential gain of
40V/V across tip and ring of the ringing signal.

The state of Battery Switch is indicated by the desired

the HC5517 application circuit meets the hazardous voltage
requirements of FCC Part 68.306 by forcing the MTU voltage. Without the zener clamping solution, a programmable
power supply would have to be designed. The intervals listed
in Table 1 would require the power supply to switch voltages
and settle to stable operation well within 100ms. The design
of such a power supply may prove quite a challenge. The
zener solution provides a cost effective, low impact to
meeting a wide variety of tip to ring open circuit voltages.
Ringing Design Equations

differential gain of 40V/V. The REN impedance is shown as
RL. Figure 9 shows the relationship of REN load to maximum differential tip to ring RMS voltage during ringing. The
maximum ringing signal amplitude herein assumes an infinite source and sink capability of the tip feed and ring feed
amplifiers. Due to the amplifier output design, the HC5517 is
limited to 3 REN ringing capability for this reason.

ON-HOOK STANDBY MODE
On-hook standby mode is with the phone on-hook (i.e., not
answered) and ready to accept an incoming voice signal or electronic data. The HC5517 application circuit is designed to maintain the MTU voltage during this mode of operation. During this
mode, the SHD output is valid and the RTD output is invalid.
OFF-HOOK ACTIVE MODE
Off-hook active accommodates voice and data communications, including pulse metering, with a battery voltage of
-24V. The MTU voltage during this mode is defeated by the
zener clamp design regardless of the state of RC. It is
important to have RC low to disable the ringing voltage.
Only the SHD output is valid during this mode.
POWER DENIAL MODE
The HC5517 will enter the power denial mode whenever F1
is a logic low. During power denial, the tip and ring amplifiers
are active. The DC voltages of both amplifiers are near
ground, resulting in a maximum loop current of 7mA. Both
the SHD and the RTD detector output are invalid.
Table 2 summarizes the operating modes of the HC5517
application circuit. The table indicates the valid detectors in
each mode as well as valid application circuit operation.

Operation of the Battery Switch
The battery switch is used to select between the off-hook
battery of -24V and the ringing/standby battery of -80V.
When T1 is off (battery switch is logic low) the MOSFET T3
is off and the -24V battery is supplied to the SLIC through
D10 . When T1 is on (battery switch is logic high) current
flows through the collector of T1 turning on the zener D9 .
When D9 turns on, the gate of the MOSFET is positive with
respect to the drain (-80V) and T3 turns on. Turning T3 on
connects the -80V battery to the SLIC through D7 . This in
turn reverse biases D10 , isolating the two supplies.

(Voice Signal)
The purpose of the transhybrid circuit is to remove the
receive signal (V-REC) from the transmit signal (V-XMIT),
thereby preventing an echo on the transmit side. This is
accomplished by using an external op amp (usually part of
the CODEC) and by the inversion of the signal from the
SLIC’s 4-wire receive port (VRX) to the SLIC’s 4-wire
transmit port (OUT1).
The external transhybrid circuit is shown in Figure 10. The
effects of capacitors C5 , C7 and C8 are negligible and therefore omitted from the analysis. The input signal (V-REC) will
be subtracted from the output signal (V-XMIT) if I1 equals I2
are equal and opposite in phase. A node analysis yields the
following equation:
V – REC OUT1

The value of R2 is then:

Given that OUT1 is equal to -1/3 of V-REC (Equation 16) and
V-REC is equal to VTR (A4-Wire-2-Wire = 1, Equation 15),
then R2 = 3R3. A transhybrid balance greater than 30dB can
be achieved by using 1% resistors values.

Transhybrid Balance
(Pulse Metering)
Transhybrid balance of the pulse metering signal is
accomplished in 2 stages. The first stage uses the SLIC’s
internal op amp to invert the phase of the pulse metering signal. The second stage sums the inverted pulse metering signal with the incoming signal for cancellation in the
transhybrid amplifier. A third network can be added to offset
both tip and ring by the peak amplitude of the pulse metering
signal. This will allow both the maximum voice and pulse
metering signals to occur at the same time with no distortion.
Pulse Metering
Pulse metering or Teletax is used outside the United States
for billing purposes at pay phones. A 12kHz or 16kHz burst
is injected into the 4-wire side of the SLIC and transmitted
across the tip and ring lines from the central office to the pay
phone. For more information about pulse metering than covered here reference application note AN9608 “Implementing
Pulse Metering for the HC5509 Series of SLICs”.
HC5517
Inverting Amplifier (A1)
The pulse metering signal is injected in the -IN1 pin of the
SLIC. This pin is the inverting input of the internal amplifier
(A1) that is used to invert the pulse metering signal for later
cancellation. The components required for pulse metering
are C6 and R5 , are shown in Figure 11. The pulse metering
signal is AC coupled to prevent a DC offset on the input of
the internal amplifier. The value of C6 should be 10µF. The
expression for the voltage at OUT1 is given in Equation 38.

For a 600Ω termination and a pulse metering gain (GPM) of
1, the feedback voltage (VTX) is equal to one third the
injected pulse metering signal of the 4-wire side. Note,
depending upon the line impedance characteristics and the
degree of impedance matching, the pulse metering gain may
differ from the voice gain. The pulse metering gain (GPM)
must be accounted for in the transhybrid balance circuit.
The polarity of the signal at OUT1 (Equation 38) is opposite
of VPM allowing the circuit of Figure 12 to perform the final
stage of transhybrid cancellation.

The first term is the gain of the feedback voltage from the
2-wire side and the second term is the gain of the injected
pulse metering signal. The effects of C6 and C8 are
negligible and therefore omitted from the analysis.
The injected pulse metering output term of Equation 38 is
shown below in Equation 39 and rearranged to solve for R5
in Equation 40.

The ratio of R8 to R5 is set equal to one and results in unity
gain of the pulse metering signal from 4-wire side to 2-wire
side. The value of R8 is considered to be a constant since it
is selected based on impedance matching requirements.
Cancellation of the Pulse Metering Signal
The transhybrid cancellation technique that is used for the
voice signal is also implemented for pulse metering. The
technique is to drive the transhybrid amplifier with the signal
that is injected on the 4-wire side, then adjust its level to
match the amplitude of the feedback signal, and cancel the
signals at the summing node of an amplifier.
NOTE: The CA741C operational amplifier is used in the application
as a “stand in” for the operational amplifier that is traditionally located
in the CODEC, where transhybrid cancellation is performed.
Referring to Figure 3, VTX is the 2-wire feedback used to
drive the internal amplifier (A1) which in turn drives the
OUT1 pin of the SLIC. The voltage measured at VTX is
related to the loop impedance as follows:

The first term refers to the signal at OUT1 and the second

ideal transhybrid cancellation implies VTXO equals zero
when a signal is injected on the 4-wire side, VTXO is set to
zero and the resulting equation is shown below.

Rearranging terms of Equation 43 and solving for R4 results
in Equation 44. This is the only value to be calculated for the
transhybrid cancellation. All other values either exist in the
application circuit or have been calculated in previous
sections of this data sheet.

The value of R4 (Figure 12) is 12.37kΩ given the following
set of values:
R8 = 40kΩ
R9 = 40kΩ
RL = 600Ω
R3 = 8.25kΩ
R5 = 40kΩ
GPM = 1
Substituting the same values into Equation 41 and Equation 42,
it can be shown that the signal at OUT1 is equal to -2/3VPM .
This result, along with Equation 44 where R3 equals to 2/3R4,
indicates the signal levels into the transhybrid amplifier are
equalized by the amplifier gains and opposite in polarity,
thereby achieving transhybrid balance at VTXO.
HC5517
Additional Tip and Ring Offset Voltage
Single Low Voltage Supply Operation
A DC offset is required to level shift tip and ring from ground
and VBAT respectively. By design, the tip amplifier is offset
4V below ground and the ring amplifier is offset 4V above
VBAT. The 4V offset was designed so that the peak voice
signal could pass through the SLIC without distortion. Therefore, to maintain distortion free transmission of pulse metering and voice, an additional offset equal to the peak of the
pulse metering signal is required.
The application circuit shown Figure 15 requires 2 low
voltage supplies (+5V, -5V). The following application offers
away to make use of a 2.5V reference, provided with some
CODEC, to operate the transhybrid balance amplifier from
a single +5V supply. The implementation is shown in
Figure 14. Notice that the three inputs from the SLIC must all
be AC coupled to insure the proper DC gain through the
CODECs internal op amp. The resistor Ra is not used for
gain setting and is only intended to balance the DC offsets
generated by the input bias current of the CODEC amplifier.
If the DC offsets generated by the input bias currents are
negligible, then Ra may be omitted from the circuit. Ca may
be required for decoupling of the voltage reference pin and
does not contribute to the response of the amplifier.
The tip and ring voltages are offset by a voltage divider
network on the VRX pin. The VRX pin is a unity gain input
designed as the 4-wire side voice input for the SLIC.
Figure 13 details the circuit used to generate the additional
offset voltage.

The amplifier shown is the tip amplifier. Other signals are connected to the summing node of the amplifier but only those
components used for the offset generation are shown. The offset generated at the output of the tip amplifier is summed at the
ring amplifier inverting input to provide a positive offset from the
battery voltage. The connection to the ring amplifier was omitted from Figure 13 for clarity, refer to Figure 3 for details.
The term VPMO is defined to be the offset required for the
pulse metering signal. The value of the offset voltage is calculated as the peak value of the pulse metering signal.
Equation 45 assumes the amplitude of the pulse metering
signal is expressed as an RMS voltage.

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.
The value of R6 can be calculated from the following
equation:
 R 7 R   5 – V PMO
R 6 =  ------------------  --------------------------
 R 7 + R  V PMO 
(EQ. 46)
The component labeled R is the internal summing resistor of
the tip amplifier and has a typical value of 108kΩ. The value
of R7 should be selected in the range of 4.99kΩ and 10kΩ.
Staying within these limits will minimize the parallel loading
effects of the internal resistor R on R7 as well as minimize
the constant power dissipation introduced by the divider.
Solving Equation 45 for 1VRMS results in a 1.414V
requirement for VPMO . Setting R7 of Equation 46 to 10kΩ
and substituting the values for VPMO and R yields 23.2kΩ for
R6 . The value of R6 can be rounded to the nearest standard
value without significantly changing the offset voltage.

• VRING pin 24, the 20V/V input for the ringing signal
• U1 pin 2, inverting input of external amplifier.
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.
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.
HC5517
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.
