+3.3V / +5.0V Low Power Ringing SLIC
5. Functional Description
5.1. Line Interfacing
As well as being used in an electrically demanding environment, the needs of different
applications and regulatory standards means that the SLIC must be flexible, and have
facilities to ensure robust performance. The Ag1171 SLIC provides a complete and flexible
interface to the telephone.
5.2. Battery Feed
The Ag1171 has an integral DC/DC converter, which generates the battery voltage in the
device. This means that only a single supply of between +3.3V to +5.0V is needed, unlike
conventional SLICs which will also need a battery voltage of anything between 20V and
60V ( 75V for ringing). This confers a significant cost, space and time to market benefit on
the equipment designer.
The battery feed to the telephone line is generated from the positive supply rail. This
provides a 48V battery feed to the line driver, which is adjusted automatically to match line
conditions. In Forward mode the Ring voltage is negative with respect to the Tip voltage.
Power efficiency is good, because the line is supplied with only as much power as is
needed. Little excess heat is generated, even on short lines. The loop current is pre-set to
a constant 30mA, under the conditions shown in Section 10.3 of this datasheet, which
specifies the ‘DC Electrical Characteristics’ for the Ag1171.
5.3. Ringing
The ringing signal is generated by switching the SLIC into ringing mode, by setting the RM
pin high, and then toggling the F/R pin at the required frequency and cadence. The
toggling of the F/R pin produces a balanced signal at Tip and Ring. These signal
waveforms are shown in Figure 3. Ringing voltage of approximately 60Vrms is applied to a
single telephone set. It is important that the RM pin is only set high during ringing and that
this pin is set low at all other times.
During ringing the integral DC/DC converter is switched by RM (H) to produce a battery
voltage of 72V. This will produce greater than 40Vrms into 3 telephones (with tone
ringers). The slope of the edges on the ringing waveform is set internally to give the
correct waveform with 20Hz to 25Hz ringing frequency.
When an “off-hook” condition occurs during ringing, the ring-trip circuit on the Ag1171
senses the loop current flowing and signals the off-hook condition on the SHK output. The
SHK signal must be “de-bounced” (by the controlling processor) for 10ms to remove any
spurious pulses. The DC/DC controller limits the power. The Ag1171 will operate
continuously with a ring-trip load (but this is not recommended as the power dissipation is
high). The ring-trip function will operate up to a loop resistance of typically 470R (including
300R telephone).

As long as the telephone is off hook, SHK will remain high.
Figure 3: Ringing Signal Waveforms
5.4. Power Down and Synchronisation
The DC/DC converter can be switched off by applying a logic (L) level to the PD input. The
SLIC takes 50ms to power up from this state. Logic outputs are not valid during this time.
When using the power down function, it is recommended that the SLIC is polled (powered
up periodically) to check for SHK (the subscriber has gone off-hook). If Power Down mode
is not required, the PD pin should be left open circuit. The PD input should not be taken to
a logic (H) as this may damage the SLIC. Connecting to PD via a diode will ensure it is
never taken (H). NOTE: This is a sensitive node, keep connections very short.
The DC/DC has an internal oscillator. If desired, the oscillator frequency may be
synchronised with an external clock for EMI reasons. To do this, a 64kHz square wave
(with 50:50 mark space) should be inputted to the PD pin. See Applications Note: AN11711, for further details.

+3.3V / +5.0V Low Power Ringing SLIC
5.5. The 2-4 Wire (hybrid) Conversion
The Ag1171 SLIC transmits and receives balanced 2 wire analog signals at the Tip and
Ring connections. These are converted to a ground referenced output at VOUT and from a
ground referenced input at VIN.
The VOUT and VIN pins are normally connected to a Codec or telephony DSP for
conversion of audio to and from a digital format.
5.6. Transmit and Receive Gain
The gain in both the transmit direction (Tip/Ring to VOUT) and the receive direction (VIN to
Tip/Ring) is set to 0dB. Normally any gain adjustments required by the user can be made
by programming the Codec or telephony DSP.
5.7. The 2 Wire Impedance
The 2 Wire impedance at Tip/Ring of the Ag1171 is set to 600R. It requires no external
programming resistors.
5.8. Network Balance Impedance
The network balance impedance ZB of the Ag1171 is set to 600R and it requires no
external programming resistors.
5.9. Tip & Ring Polarity Reversal
The Ag1171 can reverse the battery voltage polarity at Tip and Ring via the F/R pin.
If F/R is held at logic (H) (Forward) the d.c. voltage at Ring is negative with respect to Tip.
If F/R is taken to logic (L) (Reverse) the voltage at Ring is positive with respect to Tip.
5.10. On Hook Transmission
The Ag1171 is capable of on-hook transmission if an external resistor is fitted between
pins 1 (Ring) and 2 (Tip).
This means analog signals can be transmitted from VIN through Tip and Ring and onto the
line even when no external loop current is flowing. This can be used when sending Caller
Line Identification (CLI) information or for other “no ring” calls.
The Ag1171 will provide on hook transmission of audio signals up to 0dBm (0.775V) with a
high impedance on Tip/Ring or with AC loads down to 600R. To achieve this the external
bias resistor should have a value of 20Kohms. This will increase the VPWR idle current by
35ma. A larger value of resistor will reduce the idle current but the maximum audio signal
which can be transmitted will be reduced in proportion e.g. a 39Kohm bias resistor will
allow audio signals up to –6dBm (0.387V) with an increase in idle current of 18mA.

5.11. Switch Hook Detection
When the subscriber goes “off-hook” loop current will begin to flow. If this current is above
the detection threshold the switch hook output, SHK, will switch to a logic (H). It is
recommended that software or hardware de-bouncing of the switch hook signal is used.
This is to avoid short pulses which can cause a false switch hook output, triggering the
incorrect system response.
During loop disconnect dialling, SHK will pulse between logic (H) and logic (L) to indicate
the digits being dialled. Again it is recommended that software de-bouncing of the pulse
edges is used to avoid false detection of digits

6. Protection of the Ag1171 SLIC
6.1. Thermal Protection
Should the SLIC be operated incorrectly, for example by accidentally shorting Tip and Ring
to each other or to ground, the power dissipation is automatically limited by the DC/DC
converter
This feature means that the SLIC will always operate within its power limits, without
overheating. When operating on very short lines the battery voltage is regulated to a low
value. This limits the power dissipation and ensures the Ag1171 operates with a minimum
temperature rise.
6.2. Lightning and Power Cross Protection
The Ag1171 is designed for use short loop “on-premise” applications, such as FCT, FWT,
WLL and VoIP. In this case power cross and lightning protection is not required. The only
protection which should be required is for ESD (Electro Static Discharge) caused by
handling during installation.
The Ag1171 has been designed to be able to use low cost ESD protection components. A
typical circuit is shown in Figure 4. This circuit is suitable for most “on-premise”
applications.
7. Typical Application
The Ag1171 has been designed to interface to telephony Codecs or DSPs. Applications
drawings for many codecs and DSP chips are available. Please contact Silver Telecom or
visit our website www.silvertel.com. An example is shown in figure 4.
The status outputs from the SLIC are passed to the micro-controller. These signals can
then be processed as necessary by the system software.
The audio signals which are on the 4 wire side of the connection are coupled by capacitors
to avoid d.c. level problems between the two devices.
8. DC Supply Voltage
During operation the DC Supply Voltage MUST be regulated within the limits shown in the
Electrical Characteristics – Section 10.0 of this datasheet. Use of a “clean” power supply is
extremely important. Should the VCC supply rail go above the Absolute Maximum Rating
of 7.0V, for even a short time, then permanent damage to the Ag1171 is likely to result.
We also advise that the designer performs a full system evaluation, under all possible
performance conditions, to ensure that the VCC Maximum rating is not exceeded.

9. Layout Considerations
9.1. Power and Ground
Tracks to the +VPWR and GNDPWR should be made as thick as possible. To maximise
the performance of the device, signal tracks should be kept as short as possible. To
reduce DC/DC noise capacitors up to 10nF may be connected to ground at Tip and Ring.
