SL1062A Low Voltage Transmission Circuit with Dialler Interface The SL1062A is an integrated circuit that perform all speech and line interface functions required in fully electronic telephone sets. They perform electronic switching between dialling and speech. The ICs operate at line voltage down to 1.6 V DC (with reduced performance) to facilitate the use of more telephone sets connected in parallel. • Low DC line voltage: operates down to 1.6 V (excluding polarity guard) • Voltage regulator with adjustable static resistance • Provides a supply for external circuits • Symmertical high-impedance inputs (64 KΩ) for dynamic, magnetic or piezo-electric microphones • Asymmetrical high-impedance input (32 KΩ) for electret microphones • DTMF signal input with confidence tone • Mute input for pulse or DTMF dialing: active LOW (MUTE) • Receiving amplifier for dynamic, magnetic or piezo-electric earpieces • Large gain setting ranges on microphone and earpiece amplifiers • Line loss compensation (line current dependent) for microphone and earpiece amplifiers • Gain control curve adaptable to exchange supply • DC line voltage adjustment facility BLOCK DIAGRAM SLS System Logic Semiconductor ORDERING INFORMATION SL1062AN Plastic TA = -25° to 75° C for package PIN ASSIGNMENT SL1062A PIN DESCRIPTION Pin No Designation Description 1 LN 2 GAS1 gain adjustment; transmitting amplifier 3 GAS2 gain adjustment; transmitting amplifier 4 QR 5 GAR gain adjustment; receiving amplifier 6 MIC- inverting microphone input 7 MIC+ non-inverting microphone input 8 STAB current stabilizer 9 VEE negative line terminal 10 IR receiving amplifier input 11 DTMF dual-tone multi-frequency input 12 MUTE mute input 13 VCC possitive supply decoupling 14 REG voltage regulator decoupling 15 AGC automatic gain control input 16 SLPE slope (DC resistance) adjustment positive line terminal non-inverting output; receiving amplifier FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Supplies VCC, LN, SLPE, REG and STAB Power for the IC and its peripheral circuits is usually obtained from the telephone line. The supply voltage is derived from the line via a dropping resistor and regulated by the IC. The supply voltage VCC may also be used to supply external circuits e.g. dialling and control circuits. Decoupling of the supply voltage is performed by a capacitor between VCC and VEE. The internal voltage regulator is decoupled by a capacitor between REG and VEE. The DC current flowing into the set is determined by the exchange supply voltage Vexch, the feeding bridge resistance Rexch and the DC resistance of the telephone line Rline. The circuit has an internal current stabilizer operating at a level determined by a 3.6 KΩ resistor connected between STAB and VEE (see Fig.1). Figure 1. Supply arrengement When the line current (Iline) is more than 0.5 mA greater than the sum of the IC supply current (ICC) and the current draw by the peripheral circuitry connected to VCC (Ip) the excess current is shunted to VEE via LN. The regulated voltage on the line terminal (VLN) can be calculated as: VLN = Vref + ISLPE x R9 VLN = Vref + ((Iline - ICC - 0.5 x 10-3 A)-Ip) x R9 SLS System Logic Semiconductor SL1062A Vref is an internally generated temperature compensated reference voltage of 3.7 V and R9 is an external resistor connected between SLPE and VEE. In normal use the value of R9 would be 20Ω. Changing the value of R9 will also affect microphone gain, DTMF gain, gain control characteristics, sidetone level, maximum output swing on LN and the DC characteristics (especially at the lower voltages). Under normal conditions, when ISLPE>>ICC + 0.5 mA + Ip, the static behaviour of the circuit is that of a 3.7 V regulator diode with an internal resistance equal to that of R9. In the audio frequency range the dynamic impedance is largely determined by R1. Fig.2 shows the equivalent impedance of the circuit. The gain of the microphone amplifier can be adjusted between 44 dB and 52 dB to suit the sensitivity of the transducer in use. The gain is proportional to the value of R7 which is connected between GAS1 and GAS2. Stability is ensured by two external capacitors, C6 connected between GAS1 and SLPE and C8 connected between GAS1 and VEE. The value of C6 is 100 pF but this may be increased to obtain a firstorder low-pass filter. The value of C8 is 10 limes the value of C6. The cut-off frequency corresponds to the time constant R7 x C6. Input MUTE When MUTE is LOW or open circuit, the DTMF input is enabled and the microphone and receiving amplifier inputs are inhibited. The reverse is true when MUTE is HIGH, MUTE switching causes only negligible clicking on the line and earpiece output. If the number of parallel sets in use causes a drop in line current to below 6 mA the DTMF amplifier becomes active independent to the DC level applied to the MUTE input. Dial-tone multi-frequency input DTMF Leq = C3 x R9 x RP RP = 16.2 KΩ Figure 2. Equivalent impedance circuit At line currents below 9mA the internal reference voltage is automatically adjusted to a lower value (typically 1.6 V at 1 mA) This means that more sets can be operated in parallel with DC line voltages (excluding the polarity guard) down to an absolute minimum voltage of 1.6 V. At line currents below 9 mA the circuit has limited sending and receiving levels. The internal reference voltage can be adjusted by means of an external resistor (RVA). This resistor when connected between LN and REG will decrease the internal reference voltage and when connected between REG and SLPE will increase the internal reference voltage. Microphone inputs MIC+ and MIC- and gain pins GAS1 and GAS2 The circuit has symmetrical microphone inputs. Its input impedance is 64 KΩ (2 x 32 KΩ) and its voltage gain is typically 52 dB (when R7 = 68 KΩ, see Figure 3). Dynamic, magnetic, piezo-electric or electret (with built-in FET source followers) can be used. SLS System Logic Semiconductor When the DTMF input is enabled dialling tones may be sent on to the line. The voltage gain from DTMF to LN is typically 25.5 dB (when R7 = 68 KΩ) and varies with R7 in the same way as the microphone gain. The signalling tones can be heard in the earpiece at a low level (confidence tone). Receiving amplifier IR, QR and GAR The receiving amplifier has one input (IR) and a noninverting output (QR). The IR to QR gain is typically 31 dB (when R4 = 100 KΩ). It can be adjusted between 20 and 31 dB to match the sensitivity of the transducer in use. The gain is set with the value of R4 which is connected between GAR and QR. The overall receive gain, between LN and QR, is calculated by subtracting the anti-sidetone network attenuation (32 dB) from the amplifier gain. Two external capacitors, C4 and C7, ensure stability. C4 is normally 100 pF and C7 is 10 times the value of C4. The value of C4 may be increased to obtain a firstorder low-pass filter. The cut-off frequency will depend on the time constant R4 x C4. The output voltage of the receiving amplifier is specified for continuous-wave drive. The maximum output voltage will be higher under speech conditions where the peak to RMS ratio is higher. SL1062A R9 and Zbal (see Fig4) suppresses the transmitted signal in the earpiece. Maximum compensation is obtained when the following conditions are fulfilled: Automatic gain control input AGC Automatic line loss compensation is achieved by connecting a resistor (R6) between AGC and VEE. The automatic gain control varies the gain of the microphone amplifier and the receiving amplifier in accordance with the DC line current. The control range is 5.8 dB which corresponds to a line length of 5 km for a 0.5 mm diameter twisted-pair copper cable with a DC resistance of 176 Ω/km and average attenuation of 1.2 dB/km. Resistor R6 should be chosen in accordance with the exchange supply voltage and its feeding bridge resistance (see Table 1).

To obtain optimum sidetone suppression, condition (2) has to be fulfilled which results in: R8 Zbal = x Zline = k x Zline R1 Table 1 Values of resistor R6 for optimum line-loss compensation at various values of exchange supply voltage (Vexch) and exchange feeding bridge resistance (Rexch); R9 = 20 Ω. Vexch(V) ( R3 + Where k is a scale factor; k = 1000 Rexch(Ω) R8 R1 The scale factor k, dependent on the value of R8, is chosen to meet the following criteria: • compatibility with a standard capacitor from the E6 or E12 range for Zbal 82 102 • Zbal // R8<<R3 fulfilling condition (a) and thus ensuring correct anti-sidetone bridge operation The ratio of start and stop currents of the AGS curve is independent of the value of R6. If no automatic line-loss compensation is required the AGS pin may be left open-circuit. The amplifiers, in this condition, will give their maximum specified gain. • Zbal + R8>>R9 to avoid influencing the transmit gain. In practise Zline varies considerably with the line type and length. The value chosen for Zbal should therefore be for an average line length thus giving optimum setting for short or long lines.

However, precautions must be taken to avoid applications of any voltage higher than maximum rated voltages to this high-impedance circuit. For proper operation, VIN and VOUT should be constrained to the range GND≤(VIN or VOUT)≤VCC. Unused inputs must always be tied to an appropriate logic voltage level (e.g., either GND or VCC). Unused outputs must be left open.
