Operation of the UniSLIC14™ and TCM38C17
Evaluation Module
TM
Application Note
Functional Description
This application note is intended to supplement Texas
Instruments TCM38C17 EVM Users Guide. The Users guide
describes three ways of evaluating the circuits operation:
• Using a TMS320C5402 DSK
• Using an analog signal generator and the TCM38C17 in
digital loopback
• Using a Wandel and Golterman (W and G) PCM4
A good understanding of the material in the Users Guide is a
prerequisite to this application note. For a detailed
engineering analysis of the UniSLIC14 and TCM38C17
reference design, see application note AN9903.
This application note will evaluate the BASIC operation of
the UniSLIC14 (Tests # 1- #7) and a system level evaluation
(Tests # 8 and #9) using the PCM4. For discussion
purposes, the TCM38C17 EVM board will be referred to as
the Mother Board and the UniSLIC14 board will be referred
to as the Daughter Board.
TCM38C17 Mother Board
The TCM38C17 Mother Board provides a way to evaluate
the operation of Texas Instruments TCM38C17 Quad
Combo and Intersil’s UniSLIC14 family of SLICs. The
following steps, repeated here from the Users Guide, will
configure the mother board for testing Channel 0 with the
PCM4:
• Connect TCM38C17, UniSLIC14 and PCM4 as shown in
Figure 1.
• Configure the PCM4 general parameters per Table 1.
• Configure dipswitch SW7 as shown in Figure 2 for
Channel 0 selected.
• Verify jumper JP1: Pin 2 shorted to Pin 3 (FPGA prom
installed)
• Verify jumper JP2: open (CODEC output gain setting set
by SLIC EVM)
• Verify jumper JP6: Open (external loopback not
configured)
• Verify jumper JP7: Shorted (analog and digital grounds
connected)
• Verify jumper JP8: Open (power supplied by external
power supplies)
• Connect the external supplies to the Mother Board as
shown in Table 2. Note: The Daughter Board gets its
power from the Mother Board. If the design of the line card
requires only one battery supply (-24V or -48V), then it is
recommended that the -24V (VBL) supply pin float.

AN9931.1
Evaluation of channels 1-3 is accomplished by moving the
daughter board to the desired channel and configuring SW7
to select that channel. SW7 selects the channel of the
TCM38C17 that receives conversion data first. This will
enable proper operation of the PCM4 once the transmit and
receive channels are set to channel zero.
Daughter Board
The HC5514XEVAL3 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).
The sample provided with this board (HC55142) will meet or
exceed the electrical performance for all members of the
family listed above. The board is configured to match a 600Ω
line impedance, have a minimum loop current of 20mA, a
maximum loop current of 30mA, onhook transmission of
0.775VRMS, offhook voice transmission of 3.2VPEAK, and a
maximum loop resistance of 1777Ω.
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).
The daughter board is equipped with seven Single Pole
Double Throw (SPDT) switches. Five of the logic control
switches (C3, C2, C1, SHD and GKD/LVM) are center open
toggle switches. If off-board mode control of the SLIC is
desired, these switches can be set to center open position
and driven by logic at the logic terminal port. The logic
terminal port is located at the bottom right hand side of the
daughter board, just above the VBL = VBL and POL/REV
switches (reference Figure 4).
Features of the HC5514XEVAL3 Daughter Board
• Toggle Switch Programming for Logic States
• Monitoring of Switch Hook Detect (SHD) and Ground Key /
Line Voltage Measurement (GKD_LVM) via On Board LEDs
• Selectable Power Sharing

POWER
The operation and performance of the daughter board will be
verified in two ways. The first will evaluate the operation of
the daughter board itself, and the second will evaluate the
operation of the daughter board and mother board in a
system configuration.
The operation of the daughter board can be verified by
performing the following tests:
1. Normal Loop Feed Verification
Forward Active and Reverse Active States
4. Battery Selection/ Power Sharing
5. Ring Trip Verification
6. Pulse Metering
7. Line Voltage Measurement Test
4
Application Note 9931
The evaluation of all 7 tests require the following equipment:
a 600Ω (1 watt, 1%) load, a 1.5kΩ (2 watt, 1%) load, a
27.4kΩ (1/4 watt, 1%) RDC_RAC resistor, two sine wave
generators, an AC/DC volt meter, three external supplies
(VBH, VBL, VCC ), a dual channel storage oscilloscope, a
telephone, BNC to banana adaptor, a battery backed AC
source and a dynamic signal analyzer.
Test # 1 Normal Loop Feed Verification
This test verifies the correct tip and ring voltages in both
onhook and offhook forward active and reverse active states.
Loop current and ground key detect are also verified via the
onboard SHD and GKD_LVM LEDs.
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 5. The tip voltage remains relatively
constant as the ring voltage moves to limit the loop current
for short loops.
When power is applied to the SLIC, a loop current will flow
from tip to ring through the 600Ω load. Loop current
detection occurs when this loop current triggers an internal
detector that pulls the output of SHD low, illuminating the
LED through the +5V supply.
Setup (Tip and Ring Voltages)
1. Configure mother board for testing channel 0 with the
PCM4. Reference Figure 2.
2. Connect daughter board to port J1 of mother board
Reference Figure 3.
3. Apply power to the system (apply 5V then -24V and -48V)
and turn on the PCM4.
4. Verify supply voltages VBH (J19A) = -48V,
VBL (J18A) = -24V and VCC (J15A, J16A) = +5V.
5. Set S7 in the VBL = VBL position (switch lever towards
bottom of board). Reference Figure 4.
6. All of the channel power-down LEDs will be illuminated
along with the PWR LED and the A SEL LED (Figure 3).
This test will be preformed with all channel from the
mother board in the power down condition (all LEDs
illuminated).
7. Configure the SLIC to be in the Forward Active State
(C3 = 0, C2 = 1, C1 = 0).
8. Configure SHD and GKD switches to be in the LED
position (switch lever towards bottom of the board).
9. Using test ports TP1 (TIP) and TP2 (RING) located
directly behind RJ11 jack, measure the tip and ring
voltages with respect to ground and compare to those in
Table 3 (onhook).
10. Terminate TP1 (TIP) and TP2 (RING) with a 600Ω load.
11. Measure tip and ring voltages with respect to ground and
compare to those in Table 3 (offhook 600Ω).
12. Configure the SLIC to be in the Reverse Active State
(C3 = 1, C2 = 1, C1 = 0).
13. Disconnect the 600Ω load from across TP1 and TP2.
14. Repeat steps 9 through 13.

11. Connect an AC voltmeter across tip and ring.
Verification
(EQ. 1)
The programmable 2-wire to 4-wire transmission gain
(Equation 2) will also be verified by measuring the SLIC’s
4-wire to 4-wire gain with the PTG pin floating (A 2-4 is 0.9
(0.91dB) and grounded (A2-4 is 0.56 (-5.0dB).)
1. Tip to ring AC voltage of 1VRMS when terminated with a
600Ω load. The dB (A4-2) gain is approximately 0dB.
2. Tip to ring AC voltage of 2VRMS when not terminated.
The dB (A 4-2) gain is approximately 6dB.
3. Configure the SLIC to be in the Reverse Active state
(C3 = 1, C2 = 1, C1 = 0) and repeat above test.

If previous test was test #2a, skip to step 9.
1. Configure mother board for testing channel 0 with the
PCM4. Reference Figure 2.
Discussion
When tip and ring are terminated with 600Ω load, the SLIC
will exhibit unity gain from the 4-wire VRX input pin to across
the 2-wire tip and ring pins (VTR ). When an open circuit
exists, a mismatch occurs and the tip to ring voltage
doubles.
An easy way to measure the 2-wire to 4-wire transmit gain,
without a floating signal generator on the 2-wire side, is to
use the signal from the PCM4 through the mother board and
measure the 4-wire to 4-wire gain. Given that the 4-wire to
2-wire gain is approximately one, it follows that the 2-wire to
4-wire transmission gain is also approximately equal to the
4-wire to 4-wire gain. The dB 4-w ire to 4-w ire gain is
calculated in Equation 3.

3. Apply power to the system (apply 5V then -24V and -48V)
and turn on the PCM4.
Battery selection is a technique, for a two battery supply
system, where the SLIC automatically diverts the loop
current to the most appropriate supply for a given loop
length. This results in significant power savings and lowers
the total power consumption on short loops. This technique
is particularly useful if most of the lines are short, and the on
hook condition requires a -48V battery. In Figure 6, it can be
seen that for long loops the majority of the current comes for
the high battery supply (V BH) and for short loops from the
low battery supply (V BL).

Test # 3 Polarity Reversal Time
Application Note 9931
Discussion (Power Sharing)
Test # 5 Ring Trip Verification
Power sharing is a method of redistributing the power away
from the SLIC in short loop applications. The total system
power is the same, but the die temperature of the SLIC is
much lower. Power sharing becomes important if the
application has a single battery supply (-48V on hook
requirements for faxes and modems) and the possibility of
high loop currents (reference Figure 6). This technique
would prevent the SLIC from getting too hot and thermally
shutting down on short loops.
This test will verify the ringing function of the HC5514X. A
telephone, a battery referenced AC signal source, and a
BNC to banana adaptor are the only additional hardware
required to complete the test.
The power dissipation in the SLIC is the sum of the smaller
quiescent supply power and the much larger power that
results from the loop current. The power that results from the
loop current is the loop current times the voltage across the
SLIC. The power sharing resistor (RPS) reduces the voltage
across the SLIC, and thereby the on-chip power dissipation.
The voltage across the SLIC is reduced by the voltage drop
across R PS. This occurs because RPS is in series with the
loop current and the negative supply.
A mathematical verification follows:
Discussion
The 600Ω termination is not necessary for this test since the
phone provides this nominal impedance when offhook. If the
RSYNC_REV pin is grounded, the ring relay driver pin
(RRLY) pin goes low after the SLIC is placed in the ringing
state. This will energize the ring relay. The ring relay
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 at zero current crossing. This reduces impulse
noise to the system.
Setup
Given: V BH = VBL = -48V, Loop current = 30mA, RL (load
across tip and ring) = 600Ω, Quiescent battery power =
(48V) (0.8mA) = 38.4mW, Quiescent VCC power = (5V)
(2.7mA) = 13.5mW, Power sharing resistor = 600Ω.
If previous test was either test #1 or #3, skip to step 8.
If previous test was test #2, skip to step 6.
1. Configure mother board for testing channel 0 with the
PCM4. Reference Figure 2.
1. Without power sharing, the on-chip power dissipation
would be 952mW (Equation 5).
2. Connect daughter board to port J1 of mother board
Reference Figure 3.
2. With power sharing, the on-chip power dissipation is
412mW (Equation 6). A power redistribution of 540mW.
3. Apply power to the system (apply 5V then -24V and -48V)
and turn on the PCM4.

all channels are in power-down state after power is

Application Note 9931
3. While ringing, going offhook will illuminate the SHD LED.
When an offhook condition is detected, the HC55142 will
automatically disable the RRLY pin (pin goes high) at
zero current crossing. This will disable the ring relay and
reconnect the tip and ring lines to the phone.
4. When the phone is returned to the Onhook condition,
SHD light will remain on until the logic state of the SLIC is
changed. This precludes any false on hook detection
during the transition between off hook (during ringing)
and the off hook active state.
11. Connect a series 200Ω resistor and a parallel
combination of an 820Ω resistor and a 0.1µF capacitor
across tip and ring terminals.
12. Put a 0.777V RMS (1.1VPEAK) 1kHz signal into the VRX
input (lower right hand corner of daughter board,
Figure 4).
13. Put a 0.55V RMS 16kHz signal into the SPM input (located
at top of daughter board). 0.55VRMS is equivalent to
3.1VPEAK across tip and ring due to gain of 4 from the
SPM pin to tip and ring.
Test # 6 Pulse Metering
14. Measure the THD across the complex test load.
This test will verify that an offhook 3.1VPEAK pulse metering
signal and a 1.1VPEAK voice signal can be transmitted
simultaneously across a complex loop resistance, on tip and
ring, with less than 1% Total Harmonic Distortion. The
complex loop impedance is equal to 200Ω at the pulse
metering frequency of 16kHz, and consist of a series 200Ω
resistor and a parallel combination of an 820Ω resistor and a
0.1µF capacitor. Programming of the offhook overhead
voltage required for simultaneously operation of both signals
is achieved by changing the value of RDC_RAC to 27.4kΩ.

6. Turn off power to the system to reset the mother board so
all channels are in power-down state after power is
applied.
Test # 7 Line Voltage Measurement
Discussion
A few of the SLICs in the UniSLIC14 family feature Line
Voltage Measurement (LVM) capability. This feature
provides a pulse on the GKD_LVM output pin that is
proportional to the loop voltage. Knowing the loop voltage
and thus the loop length, other basic cable characteristics
such as attenuation and capacitance can be inferred.
Decisions can be made about gain switching in the CODEC
to overcome line losses and verification of the 2-wire circuit
integrity.
The LVM function can only be activated in the off hook
condition in either the forward or reverse operating states.
The LVM uses the ring signal supplied to the SLIC as a time
base generator. The loop resistance is determined by
monitoring the pulse width of the output signal on the
GKD_LVM pin. The output signal on the GKD_LVM pin is a
square wave for which the average duration of the low state
is proportional to the average voltage between the tip and
ring terminals. The loop resistance is determined by the tip
to ring voltage and the constant loop current. Reference
Figure 8.
Although the logic state changes to the Test Active State
when performing this test, the SLIC is still powered up in the
active state (forward or reverse) and the subscriber is
unaware the measurement is being taken.
7. All of the channel power-down LEDs will be illuminated
along with the PWR LED and the A SEL LED (Figure 3).
This test will be preformed with all channel from the
mother board in the power down condition (all LEDs

off hook and in the Test Active State, the function performed

logic state, this 2-wire loopback test allows the complete

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.

If previous test was either test #1, #3, #5, #6 or #7, skip to

VBL (J18A) = -24V and VCC (J15A, J16A) = +5V.
Layout of the 2-Wire Impedance Matching
Resistor ZT
Proper connection to the ZT pin is to have the external ZT
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.

bottom of board). Reference Figure 4.

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. 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
