Functional Description
Verifying Basic Operation
This application note is intended to supplement IDT’s
Evaluation Board User’s Guide. The Users guide describes
the Evaluation Board System and use of its software. The
system includes one IDT821064 evaluation board, one
UniSLIC14 evaluation board and control software
IDT821064.exe. For discussion purposes, the IDT821064
evaluation board will be referred to as the Mother Board and
the UniSLIC14 evaluation board will be referred to as the
Daughter Board.
The operation of the Mother & Daughter Boards can be
verified by performing the following tests:
A good understanding of the material in the Users Guide is a
prerequisite to this application note. For a detailed
engineering analysis of the reference design using the
UniSLIC14 and IDT821064, see application note AN9999.
With this system, the user can configure a channel to
channel conversation and perform various tests on the
system using a Wandel and Golterman (W&G) PCM4.

5. Emulation of Far End Telephone Conversation
The IDT821064 Evaluation Board System can be configured
in two modes of operation via JP1, JP2 & JP3 on the mother
board.
• Emulation Mode, Emulation Mode gets its name from the
evaluation board’s ability to emulate a far end callee (or
caller) telephone conversation as a stand alone unit. In
this mode the DC performance of the SLIC (logic state, Tip
& Ring voltage levels, on hook & off hook detection) and
channel to channel conversation is easily evaluated using
the on-board clock circuit of the Mother Board.
Jumper Configuration:
JP1 jumper IN (shorting DX/DR)
JP2 jumper IN (providing power to the on board oscillator)
JP3 IN (connecting INTERNAL clock to board)

UniSLIC14 Daughter Board
The HC5514XEVAL2 evaluation board, due to the common
pinout of the UniSLIC14 family, is capable of evaluating the
performance of the following parts in the UniSLIC14 family
(HC55120, HC55121, HC55130, HC55140, HC55142 and
HC55150).
• Test Mode, Test Mode gets its name from the evaluation
board’s ability to test the performance of the system using
a PCM4. In this mode the AC performance of the half
channel (D/A, A/D, D/D) can be evaluated
Jumper Configuration:
JP1 jumper OUT
JP2 jumper OUT
JP3 IN (connecting EXTERNAL clock to board)
The sample provided with this board (HC55142) will meet or
exceed the electrical performance for all members of the family
listed above.The evaluation board is optimized to match either a
600Ω or a 200Ω + 680Ω||0.1µF line impedances, have a
minimum loop current of 20mA, a maximum loop current of
30mA, on-hook transmission of 0.775VRMS, off-hook voice
transmission of 3.2VPEAK, and a maximum loop resistance of
1777Ω.
This application note will first evaluate the DC performance
of the system by configuring the Jumpers in the Emulation
Mode. Figure 2 shows the required connection between the
Evaluation Board, PC, PCM4 tester and Power Supplies.
Proper connection should be established before running the
software.
For evaluation of the programmability of the HC5514 family,
reference the data sheet for calculation of external
components. An Excel spread sheet can be downloaded
from the web for easy calculation of external components
(www.intersil.com/telecom/unislic14.xls).
If the user prefers to evaluate the AC performance first, then
along with the proper connections (Figure 2) and jumpers
positioned for the test mode, the user needs to insure the
clock of the PCM4 is connected before running the software.

The daughter board is a dual channel board that enables
testing between adjacent channels (CH1 to CH2 and CH3 to
CH4). An additional daughter board can be obtained to enable
testing between all channels. Reference the application note

IDT821064 Mother Board
The IDT821064 Mother Board provides a way to evaluate the
operation of IDT’s IDT821064 and Intersil’s UniSLIC14 family
of SLICs. The programming interface illustrated in this
application note is the General Communications Interface
(GCI). Figure 1 shows the IDT821064 mother board
component locations. The location of jumpers JP1, JP2, and
JP3 are highlighted with arrows. JP1 is used to short the DX
and DR signals from the PCM4 to prevent interference when
Emulation Mode testing is performed. JP2 connects power to
the on-board clock. This enables setup of the software without
having to use the clock from the PCM4. JP3 connects either
the on-board clock or the clock from the PCM4. Proper
operation of the software requires this clock signal.

The following steps will configure the Mother Board for
testing in either the Emulation Mode or the Test Mode.
JP1
1. Connect IDT821064, UniSLIC14 and PCM4 as shown in
Figure 2. Note: The Daughter Board gets its power from
the Mother Board.
2. Set the General Parameters of the PCM4 as shown in
Table 3 (see Test #6).
3. Once power is applied and the appropriate clock is
supplied to the Mother Board (i.e internal clock for
Emulation Mode, or PCM4 clock for Test Mode), PRESS
the reset button. The LED will flash and then remain on.
This will synchronize the clock and enable software
control from the PC.
4. Initialize the software by clicking on IDT821064.exe and
select the desired Operating Mode (GCI), COM Port and
SLIC from the Mode and Port selection screen then click
OK.
5. The GCI Mode screen will then appear (Figure 3). All
programming of the channels and monitoring of SLIC
status are performed using this screen.

Test # 1 Normal Loop Feed Verification
This test verifies the correct tip and ring voltages in both
on-hook and off-hook forward active and reverse active
states. Loop current and ground key detect are also verified
via the software GCI screen.
Discussion
The HC55142 is designed to have its most positive 2-wire
terminal (tip in the forward active state and ring in the
reverse active state) fixed at a set voltage. This set voltage
depends upon the required overheads for the application.
The most negative 2-wire terminals voltage is dependent
upon the load across tip and ring and the programmable
current limit.
The tip and ring voltages for various loop resistances are
shown in Figure 4. The tip voltage remains relatively
constant as the ring voltage moves to limit the loop current
for short loops.

The Ground Key detector (GKD) operation is verified by
configuring the HC55142 in the tip open state and grounding
the ring pin. Grounding the ring pin results in a current that
triggers an internal detector that pulls the output of
GKD_LVM pin low. This is detected by the software and the
I/O Pin SI2 and SI1 turn Green.
Most of the SLICs in the UniSLIC14 family feature 2-Wire
loopback testing. This loopback function is only activated
when the subscriber is on hook and the logic command to
the SLIC is in the Test Active State. (Note: if the subscriber
is off hook and in the Test Active State, the function
performed is the Line Voltage Measurement. Reference data

Operation of the ISL5571A Latch
This test verifies the operation of the ISL5571A Latch.
Discussion
With the LATCH pin of the ISL5571A enabled, the logic state
of the ISL5571A will remain in the last state programmed.
The logic state of the UniSLIC14 will continue to follow the
logic command of the IDT821064. Verification of the
operation of the ISL5571A latch is accomplished by latching
the ISL5571A in the idle/talk state. Now if we change the
logic state of the UniSLIC14 to the ringing state, the tip
voltage (which under normal conditions would measure
about 0 volts for this state) continues to measure about 2.5V. This is because the ISL5571A was latched in the
idle/talk state and the UniSLIC14’s tip voltage in the ringing
state will measure about -2.5V. Further verification of the
operation of the ISL5571A’s latch state is verified by
unlatching the ISL5571A and noticing that the tip voltage
now reads about 0 volts. This occurs because the relay has
disconnected tip of the UniSLIC14 and connected it to
ground through the ring return switch (SW3) Figure 9.
Verification of the ISL5571A Latch
1. From GCI Software screen, Select: Active F, TSD,
Power On.
2. Verify tip voltage (no load, reference Figure 6) is around
-2.5 volts.
3. From GCI Software screen, Select: Active F, TSD,
LATCH,
Power On.
4. Verify tip voltage measures about -2.5 volts.
5. From GCI Software screen, Select: Ring, TSD, LATCH,
Power On. Tip voltage continues to measure around
-2.5V.
6. From GCI Software screen, Select: Ring, TSD, Power
On. Deselecting LATCH will configure the ISL5571A into
the ringing state and tip will measure about 0 volts.
Test # 3 Ringing Verification and
Operation of the ISL5571A
This test will demonstrate the ability of the IDT821064 to
control the logic state of the UniSLIC14 and the onboard
Line Card Access Switch (ISL5571A) when ringing a phone.
A telephone and a battery backed ring generator are
required to complete this test.
Discussion
The UniSLIC14 family handles all the popular ringing
formats with high or low side ring trip detection. The
daughter card is configured for battery backed ring injected
ringing.
6
When the subscriber goes off hook during ringing, the
UniSLIC14 family automatically controls the ISL5571A to
open the ringing path and reconnect the tip and ring to the
phone. Ring trip detection will occur when the DR pin goes
more positive than DT by approximately 4V. The UniSLIC14
family has the capability to reduce impulse noise by
synchronizing the ISL5571A to apply the ringing signal at
zero ringing voltage and opening the ringing signal at zero
ringing current.
APPLYING THE RING SIGNAL AT ZERO VOLTAGE
Applying the ring signal at zero voltage is accomplished by
providing a ring sync pulse to the RSYNC CH A/B BNC on
the daughter board (Figure 6). The ring sync pulse is
synchronized to go low at the zero voltage crossing of the
ring signal.
The RSYNC input is designed to allow the ring sync pulse to
be present at all times. There is no need to gate the ring
sync pulse on and off. When the RSYNC CH A/B is high the
ISL5571A connects the SLIC to the phone. When the
RSYNC CH A/B is low the ISL5571A is activated the instant
the logic code for ringing is applied.
Operation of the ISL5571A does not require a RSYNC pulse
be present. The daughter board is configured so the RSYNC
pin is grounded through one of two resistors via SI or S2,
channel A and B respectively (Figure 6).
The RSYNC pin performs two functions. The first is
synchronization for zero voltage of the ring signal and the
second function is polarity reversal time. The board is
configured to provide 10msec or 21msec reversal times via
S1 or S2. Reference UniSLIC14 data sheet for more
information concerning this topic.
REMOVING THE RING SIGNAL AT ZERO CURRENT
The ISL5571A is automatically opened at zero current by the
SLIC. The SLIC logic requires zero ringing current in the
loop and either a valid switch hook detect (SHD) or a change
in the operating mode (cadence of the ringing signal) to
control the ISL5571A to open at zero current. If the
subscriber goes off hook during ringing, the SHD output will
go low. An internal latch will sense SHD is low and instruct
the ISL5571A to stop ringing. This prevents the ring signal
from being reapplied to the line. To ring the line again, the
SLIC must toggle between logic states. (Note: The previous
state can not be the Reverse Active State. In the reverse
state, the voltage on the CRT_REV_LVM capacitor will
activate an internal latch prohibiting the ringing of the line.)
Figure 7 shows the sequence of events from ringing the
phone to ring trip. The ISL5571A rings the phone when both
the ringing code and ring sync pulse are present (A). SHD is
high at this point. When the subscriber goes off hook the
SHD pin goes low and stays low until the ringing control
code is removed (B). This prevents the SHD output from
pulsing after ring trip occurs. At the next zero current
AN1012
crossing of the ring signal, ring trip occurs and the ring relay
releases the line to allow loop current to flow in the loop (C).

If the RSYNC_REV pin is low (by either a ring sync pulse or
through a polarity reversal resistor), the ring relay driver pin
(RRLY) pin goes low after the SLIC is placed in the ringing
state. This will automatically configure the ISL5571A in the
ringing state as shown in Figure 9. The ISL5571A
disconnects tip and ring from the phone and connects the
path for the ringing signal. The DT and DR comparator inputs
will sense the flow of DC loop current, enabling the ring trip
comparator to sense when the phone is either onhook or
offhook. When an offhook condition is detected, the
HC55142 will automatically disconnect the ringing signal to
the phone reducing impulse noise to the system at the zero
current crossing of the ring signal.

1. Thermal shutdown mechanism is active with TSD floating or equal to 5V.
2. If the LATCH pin is low, the logic state of the device is controlled by the INPUT pin. When the LATCH pin goes high, the current logic state is
latched. As long as the LATCH pin is held high, the device will no longer respond to any changes applied to the INPUT control pin. The state of
the device will be permanently latched until the LATCH pin is taken low.
3. Setting TSD to a logic low overrides the LATCH and INPUT logic pins and forces all switches to turn OFF.

Test # 6 Gain Verification
This test will verify the gains through the IDT821064 and the
UniSLIC14 are operating properly. The test will show, with
the proper coefficients loaded into the CODEC, the Digital to
Analog gain across both the CODEC and the SLIC is equal
to -1.0 (0.0dB), and the Analog to Digital gain across both
the SLIC and the CODEC is also equal to 1.0 (0dB). Both
D/A and A/D gains will be verified by performing a Digital to
Digital gain using the PCM4.
Figure 11 shows the reference design of the UniSLIC14 and
the IDT821064 with a 600Ω load impedance and transmit
and receive gains of 0dB. Reference AN9999 for a detailed
engineering analysis of the reference design.

Test # 7 Variation of Gain / Frequency
This test will configure the UniSLIC14 in the loopback mode
and evaluate the IDT821064 and the UniSLIC14’s AC
performance across frequency.
Discussion
Most of the SLICs in the UniSLIC14 family feature 2-Wire
loopback testing. During the 2-wire loopback test, a 2kΩ
internal resistor is switched across the tip and ring terminals
of the SLIC. This allows the SHD function and the 4-wire to
4-wire AC transmission, right up to the subscriber loop, to be
tested.

Layout Considerations
Systems with Dual Supplies (VBH and VBL)
If the V BL supply is not derived from the VBH supply, it is
recommended that an additional diode be placed in series
with the VBH supply (D3 and D6 Figure 17). The orientation
of this diode is anode on pin 8 of the device and cathode to
the external supply. This external diode will inhibit large
currents and potential damage to the SLIC, in the event the
VBH supply is shorted to GND. If VBL is derived from VBH
then this diode is not required.
Floating the PTG Pin
The PTG pin is a high impedance pin (500kΩ) that is used to
program the 2-wire to 4-wire gain to either 0dB or -6dB.
If 0dB is required, it is necessary to float the PTG pin. The
PC board interconnect should be as short as possible to
minimize stray capacitance on this pin. Stray capacitance on
this pin forms a low pass filter and will cause the 2-wire to
4-wire gain to roll off at the higher frequencies.
If a 2-wire to 4-wire gain of -6dB is required, the PTG pin
should be grounded as close to the device as possible.
SPM Pin
For optimum performance, the PC board interconnect to the
SPM pin should be as short as possible. If pulses metering is
not being used, then this pin should be grounded as close to
the device pin as possible.
RLIM Pin
The current limiting resistor RLIM needs to be as close to the
RLIM pin as possible.
Layout of the 2-Wire Impedance Matching
Resistor ZT
Proper connection to the ZT pin is to have the external Z T
network as close to the device pin as possible.
The ZT pin is a high impedance pin that is used to set the
proper feedback for matching the impedance of the 2-wire
side. This will eliminate circuit board capacitance on this pin
to maintain the 2-wire return loss across frequency.
