Preliminary Information February 2000 PBL 386 14/1 Subscriber Line Interface Circuit Description Applications The PBL 386 14/1 Subscriber Line Interface Circuit (SLIC) is a 90 V bipolar integrated circuit for use in ISDN Network Terminal Adapters and other short loop telecommunication equipment which often are remote powered, and by that, the available power is limited. The PBL 386 14/1 has been optimized for low total line interface cost, low power and requires a minimum of external components. The PBL 386 14/1 has constant current feed, programmable to max 30mA. The SLIC uses a first battery voltage for On-hook . A second battery voltage is used for Off-hook and must be connected, to reduce short loop power dissipation. The SLIC automatically switches between the two battery supply voltages without need for external components or external control. The loop current controls the switching between On-hook and Off-hook battery. The SLIC incorporates loop current, ground key and ring trip detection functions. The PBL 386 14/1 is compatible with loop start signalling. Two- to four-wire and four- to two-wire voice frequency (vf) signal conversion is accomplished by the SLIC in conjunction with either a conventional CODEC/filter or with a programmable CODEC/filter, e.g. SLAC, SiCoFi, Combo II. The programmable line terminating impedance could be complex or real to fit every market. Longitudinal voltages are suppressed by a feedback loop in the SLIC and the longitudinal balance specifications meet Bellcore TR909 requirements. The PBL 386 14/1 package is a very PCB space efficient 28-pin SSOP. • ISDN Network terminals • Shortloop applications Ring Relay Driver RRLY DT C1 Ring Trip Comparator DR TIPX Ground Key Detector RINGX C2 Input Decoder and Control C3 VCC DET HP TS Two-wire Interface Line Feed Controller and Longitudinal Signal Suppression PSG LP Key Features • Small footprint with SSOP package • On-hook and Off-hook battery with automatic switching, controlled by loop current • On-hook battery current is limited to 6 mA • 37 mW on-hook power dissipation in active state • Metering 0.5 Vrms (0.7 Vpeak) • Adaptive Overhead Voltage The overhead voltage follows 1Vpeak<signals<2.5Vpeak • Battery supply as low as -10V • Only +5V in addition to GND and battery (VEE optional) • Open loop voltage tracks On-hook battery • Full longitudinal current capability during On-hook • 43.5V open loop voltage @ -48V battery feed • Automatic compensation for line leakage up to 5 mA • On-hook transmission • Programmable loop & ring-trip detector threshold • Ground key detector • Analog temperature guard with status exclusively viewed at detector output • Integrated Ring Relay Driver • Linevoltage measurement REF PLC VBAT2 Off-hook Detector PLD 4/1 AGND VBAT 61 L 38 VTX BGND VF Signal Transmission RSN PB VEE (optional) Figure 1.

The overload level is automatically expanded to 2.5 VPeak when the signal level > 1.0 VPeak and is specified at the two-wire port with the signal source at the four-wire receive port. The two-wire impedance is programmable by selection of external component values according to: ZTR = ZT/|G2-4S αRSN| where: ZTR = impedance between the TIPX and RINGX terminals ZT = programming network between the VTX and RSN terminals G2-4S = transmit gain, nominally = -0.5 α RSN = receive current gain, nominally = 400 (current defined as positive flowing into the receivesumming node, RSN, and when flowing from tip to ring). Higher return loss values can be achieved by adding a reactive component to RT, the two-wire terminating impedance programming resistance, e.g. by dividing RT into two equal halves and connecting a capacitor from the common point to ground. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. The overload level is automatically expanded as needed up to 1.25 VPeak when the signal level >0.5 VPeak and is specified at the four-wire transmit port, VTX, with the signal source at the two-wire port. Note that the gain from the two-wire port to the four-wire transmit port is G2-4S = -0.5. Secondary protection resistors RF impact the insertion loss. The specified insertion loss is for RF = 0. The specified insertion loss tolerance does not include errors caused by external components. The level is specified at the four-wire receive port and referenced to a 600 Ω programmed two-wire impedance level. The two-wire idle noise is specified with the four-wire receive port grounded (ERX = 0; see figure 6). The four-wire idle noise at VTX is the two-wire value -6 dB and is specified with the two-wire port terminated in 600 Ω (RL). The noise specification is referenced to a 600 Ω programmed two-wire impedance level at VTX. The fourwire receive port is grounded (ERX = 0). The VBat2 voltage is optimized for RL=600 Ω with a programmed linecurrent, IL=27 mA. This gives VBat2=22 V at the terminal (e.g. calculated to 21.9V). 7 PBL 386 14/1 Pin Description Refer to figure 7.

VTR is the ac metallic voltage between tip and ring. EL is the line open circuit ac metallic voltage. IL is the ac metallic current. RF is a fuse resistor. G2-4S is the SLIC two-wire to fourwire gain (transmit direction) with a nominal value of -0.5. (phase shift 180°.) ZL is the line impedance. ZT determines the SLIC TIPX to RINGX impedance for signal in the 0 - 20kHz frequency range. ZRX controls four- to two-wire gain. 10 To calculate ZTR, the impedance presented to the two-wire line by the SLIC including the fuse resistor RF, let VRX = 0.

Please, refer to figure 10. Via impedance ZB a current proportional to VRX is injected into the summing node of the combination CODEC/filter amplifier. As can be seen from the expression for the four-wire to four-wire gain a voltage proportional to VRX is returned to VTX. This voltage is converted by RTX to a current flowing into the same summing node. These currents can be made to cancel by letting: VTX VRX + = 0 (EL = 0) RTX ZB The four-wire to four-wire gain, G4-4, includes the required phase shift and thus the balance network ZB can be calculated from: V ZB = - RTX • RX = VTX Z - RTX • RX • ZT ZT αRSN - G2-4S • ( ZL + 2RF) G2-4S • ( ZL + 2RF) When choosing RTX, make sure the output load of the VTX terminal is (RTX//RT in Figure 14) > 20 kΩ. If calculation of the ZB formula above yields a balance network containing an inductor, an alternate method is recommended. The PBL 386 14/1 SLIC may also be used together with programmable CODEC/ filters. The programmable CODEC/filter allows for system controller adjustment of hybrid balance to accommodate different line impedances without change of hardware. In addition, the transmit and receive gain may be adjusted. Please, refer to the programmable CODEC/filter data sheets for design information. Longitudinal Impedance A feed back loop counteracts longitudinal voltages at the two-wire port by injecting longitudinal currents in opposing phase. Thus longitudinal disturbances will appear as longitudinal currents and the TIPX and RINGX terminals will experience very small longitudinal voltage excursions, leaving metallic voltages well within the SLIC common mode range. The SLIC longitudinal impedance per wire, ZLoT and ZLoR, appears as typically 20 Ω to longitudinal disturbances. It should be noted that longitudinal currents may exceed the dc loop current without disturbing the vf transmission. Capacitors CTC and CRC If RFI filtering is needed, the capacitors designated CTC and CRC in figure 13, connected between TIPX and ground as well as between RINGX and ground, may be mounted. CTC and CRC work as RFI filters in conjunction with suitable series impedances (i.e. resistances, inductances). Resistors RF1 and RF2 may be sufficient, but series inductances can be added to form a second order filter. Current-compensated inductors are suitable since they suppress common-mode signals with minimum influence on return loss. Recommended values for CTC and CRC are below 1 nF. Lower values impose smaller degradation on return loss and longitudinal balance, but also attenuate radio frequencies to a smaller extent. The influence on the impedance loop must also be taken into consideration when programming the CODEC. CTC and CRC contribute to a metallic impedance of 1/(π•f•CTC) = 1/(π•f•CRC), a TIPX to ground impedance of 1/(2•π•f•CTC) and a RINGX to ground impedance of 1/(2•π•f•CRC). AC - DC Separation Capacitor, CHP The high pass filter capacitor connected between terminals HP and RINGX p r o vides the separation of the ac and dc signals. CHP positions the low end frequency response break point of the ac loop in the SLIC. Refer to table 1 for recommended value of CHP. Example: A CHP value of 68 nF will position the low end frequency response 3dB break point of the ac loop at 13 Hz (f3dB) according to f3dB = 1/(2•π•RHP•CHP) where RHP = 180 kΩ.

Hybrid function. 11 PBL 386 14/1 High-Pass Transmit Filter When CODEC/filter with a single 5 V power supply is used, it is necessary to separate the different signal reference voltages between the SLIC and the CODEC/filter. In the transmit direction this can be done by connecting a capacitor between the VTX output of the SLIC and the CODEC/filter input. This capacitor will also form, together with RTX and/or the input impedance of the CODEC/filter, a high-pass RC filter. It is recommended to position the 3 dB break point of this filter between 30 and 80 Hz to get a fast enough response for the dc steps that may occur with DTMF signaling. 1 VPeak 2.50 V 2.50 V Capacitor CLP The capacitor CLP, which connects between the terminals LP and VBAT2, positions the high end frequency break point of the low pass filter in the dc loop in the SLIC. CLP together with CHP and ZT (see section TwoWire Impedance) forms the total two wire output impedance of the SLIC. RFEED CLP CHP [Ω] [nF] [nF] 2•25 470 68 Table 1. CLP and CHP values. Adaptive Overhead Voltage, AOV The Adaptive Overhead Voltage feature minimizes the power dissipation and at the same time provides a flexible solution for different system requirements and possible future changes concerning voice, metering and other signal levels. This is done by using an overhead voltage which automatically adapts to the signal level (voice + metering). The PBL38615/1 will behave as a SLIC with fixed overhead for signals in the 020kHz range and with an amplitude less than 1Vpeak. For signal amplitudes between 1VPeak and 2.5VPeak the adaptive overhead function will expand the overhead voltage making it possible for the signal to propagate through the SLIC without distortion ( This is the total sum of voice and metering signal). The expansion of the overhead occurs instantaneously. When the signal amplitude decreases, the overhead returns to its initial value with a time constant of approximately one second (see figure 11). 12 2.50 V Figure 11. The AOV funktion when the AOV-pin is left open. (Observe, burst undersampled). During operation the influence of the adaptive overhead function will not effect the SLIC performance in the constant current region of operation (see figure 11). If, however, the SLIC is in the off-hook, constant voltage region of operation then the influence of the adaptive headroom will be apparent as a slight decrease in line voltage (and hence line current) as the SLIC adjusts to accommodate the larger (voice + metering) signal. Line Feed If VTR < | VBAT2 | -5.7 approx (See formula C in Figure 16). the PBL 386 14/1 SLIC will emulate constant current feed. (references A-C in Figure 16). The constant current region is adjustable between 18 mA and 30 mA. If VTR > | VBAT2 | -5.7 approx (See formula C in Figure 16). the PBL 38615/1 SLIC will emulate a constant voltage feed with 2 x 25 Ω source impedance (references C-E in Figure 16). This section is made as steep as possible to switch battery faster. If the loop current is less than 5.5mA then the SLIC will automatically switch to supply the DC feed via Vbat rather than Vbat2 (references E in Figure 16). This will not give any disturbances on the line. The open loop voltage, VTRMAX, measured between the TIPX and RINGX terminals tracks the battery voltage VBAT(references J in Figure 16). According to the formula: VTRMAX = | VBAT | -4.6 When the line current is approaching open loop conditions (references G in Figure 16) the overhead voltage is reduced. The line voltage is kept nearly constant with a steep slope corresponding to 2x25 Ω (references H in Figure 16), to ensure maximum open loop voltage, even with a leaking telephone line. Constant Current Region The constant current (reference A-C in Figure 16) is adjusted by connecting a resistor, RLC, between terminal PLC and ground according to the equation: RLC = 500 10.4 • In (ILProg • 32) ILProg ILProg Can simplifies to: 500 RLC = ILProg PBL 386 14/1 Battery Switch To reduce short loop power dissipation, a second battery voltage, Off-hook, must be connected to the device via an external diode at terminal VBAT2. The SLIC automatically switches between the two battery supply voltages without need for external control. The silent battery switching to VBAT occurs when the line current is below 5.5 mA. This means that the current in the Onhook battery is limited to 6 mA. To calculate the switching voltage use this formula (See formula C in Figure 16): mA 30 25 IB2 20 15 IB 10 5 0 0Ω 1000Ω VTR =| VB2 | -4.4 - 50 · ILProg If metering is used see section Metering Applications down below. 2500Ω 5000Ω 7500Ω 10000Ω ∞Ω Figure 12. Chart describing current in Vbat and Vbat2. VBAT 2 mW Connect the terminal VBAT2 to the second power supply via the diode DB2 in Figure 14. A diode DBB connected between VB and the VB2 power supply, see Figure 14, will make sure that the SLIC continues to work on the second battery even if the first battery voltage disappears. 800 The current commute between the different batteries as shown in figure 12, note that some current is sourced from VB (typ. 0.5 mA, internal bias current) when the line current is sourced from VB2. The next chart (figure 13) is showing what power dissipation the SLIC is using with different batteries and variation of the line. 300 28 V 700 25 V 600 22 V 500 400 200 100 0 0Ω 1000Ω 2500Ω 5000Ω 7500Ω 10000Ω ∞Ω Figure 13. Chart describing Power dissipation with different Vbat2. Metering Applications, TTX It is very easy to use PBL 386 14/1 in metering applications; simply connect a suitable resistor (RTTX) in series with a capacitor (CTTX) between pin RSN and the metering source. Capacitor CTTX decouples all DC-voltages that may be superimposed on the metering signal. The metering signal gain can be calculated from the equation: G4-2TTX = VTR = VTTX ZT . ZLTTX RTTX ZT + G2-4S . (ZLTTX + 2RF) αRSN where: VTTX is the wanted metering voltage between the TIP and RING terminals ZLTTX is the line impedance seen by the 12 or 16 kHz metering signal, G2-4S is the transmit gain through the SLIC, i e 0.5. It is possible to mix voice voltage and metering voltage up to 2.5 Vpeak (1.7 Vrms), using AOV. Use following formula to calculate the switching voltage of the Battery Switch to get enough signal space. VTR =| VB2 | -3.4 -Vvoice-VTTX- 50 · ILProg where: Vvoice is the voice voltage, normaly 1 Vpeak VTTX is the the metering voltage in peak. 13 PBL 386 14/1 Analog Temperature Guard The widely varying environmental conditions in which SLICs operate may lead to the chip temperature limitations being exceeded. The PBL 386 14/1 SLIC reduces the dc line current and the longitudinal current limit when the chip temperature reaches approximately 145°C and increases it again automatically when the temperature drops. The detector output, DET, is forced to a logic low level when the temperature guard is active. The Active state temperature guard is exclusively viewed at detector output see section Active Temperature guard. Loop Monitoring Functions The loop current, ground key and ring trip detectors report their status through a common output, DET. The status of the detector pin, DET, is selected via the three bit control interface C1, C2 and C3. Please refer to section Control Inputs for a description of the control interface. Loop Current Detector The loop current detector indicates that the telephone is off hook and that DC current is flowing in the loop by putting the output pin DET, to a logic low level when selected. The loop current detector threshold value, ILTh, where the loop current detector changes state, is programmable with the RLD resistor. RLD connects between pin PLD and ground and is calculated according to: 500 RLD = ILTh Ground Key Detector The ground key detector indicates when the ground key is pressed (active) by putting the output pin DET to a logic high level when selected. The ground key detector circuit senses the difference between TIPX and RINGX currents. The detector is triggered when the difference exceeds the current threshold. 14 Ring Trip Detector Ring trip detection is accomplished by connecting an external network to a comparator in the SLIC with inputs DT and DR. The ringing source can be balanced or unbalanced e g superimposed on the battery voltage or ground. The unbalanced ringing source may be applied to either the ring lead or the tip lead with return via the other wire. A ring relay driven by the SLIC ring relay driver connects the ringing source to tip and ring. The ring trip function is based on a polarity change at the comparator input when the line goes off-hook. In the on-hook state no dc current flows through the loop and the voltage at comparator input DT is more positive than the voltage at input DR. When the line goes off-hook, while the ring relay is energized, dc current flows and the comparator input voltage reverses polarity. Figure 14 gives an example of a ring trip detection network. This network is applicable, when the ring voltage superimposed on the battery voltage is injected on the ring lead of the two-wire port. The dc voltage across sense resistor RRT is monitored by the ring trip comparator input DT and DR via the filter network R1, R2, R3, R4, C1 and C2. DT is more positive than DR, with the line on-hook (no dc current). The DET output will report logic level high, i.e. the detector is not tripped. When the line goes off-hook, while ringing, a dc current will flow through the loop including sense resistor RRT and will cause the input DT to become more negative than input DR. This changes the output on the DET pin to logic level low, i.e. tripped detector condition. The system controller (or line card processor) responds by de-energizing the ring relay via the SLIC, i.e. ring trip. Complete filtering of the 20 Hz ac component at terminals DT and DR is not necessary. A toggling DET output can be examined by a software routine to determine the duty cycle. Off-hook condition is indicated when the DET output is at logic level low for more than half the time. Detector Output (DET) The PBL 386 14/1 SLIC incorporates a detector output driver designed as open collector (npn) with a current sinking capability of min 3 mA, and a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor. The emitter of the drive transistor is connected to AGND. A LED can be connected in series with a resistor (≈1 kΩ) at the DET output to visualize, for example loop status. Relay driver The PBL 386 14/1 SLIC incorporates a ring relay driver designed as open collector (npn) with a current sinking capability of 50 mA.The emitter of the drive transistor is connected to BGND. The relay driver has an internal zener diode clamp to protect the SLIC from inductive kick-back voltages. No external clamp is needed. Control Inputs The PBL 386 14/1 SLIC has three digital control inputs, C1, C2 and C3. A decoder in the SLIC interprets the control input condition and sets up the commanded operating state. C1 to C3 are internal pull-up inputs. Open Circuit State In the Open Circuit State the TIPX and RINGX line drive amplifiers as well as other circuit blocks are powered down. This causes the SLIC to present a high impedance to the line. Power dissipation is at a minimum and no detectors are active.

Single-channel subscriber line interface with PBL 386 14/1 and combination CODEC/filter Ringing State Active State In the ringing state the SLIC will behave as in the active state with the exception that the ring relay driver and the ring trip detector are activated. The ring trip detector will indicate off hook with a logic low level at the detector output. TIPX is the terminal closest to ground and sources loop current while RINGX is the more negative terminal and sinks loop current. The loop current or the ground key detector is activated. The loop current detector indicates off hook with a logic low level and the ground key detector indicates active ground key with a logic high level present at the detector output. Active Temperature guard state The temperature guard indicates if an error has occurred and the temperature guard is activated. The output pin DET is forced to a logic low level when activated . 15 PBL 386 14/1 Line Voltage measurement The line voltage is presented on the detector output as a pulse train (see Figure 15) with a frequency inversely proportional to the voltage according to the equation: freq = 106 [Hz] |VTR| + 1 The line voltage measurement will be started when entering this state from any other state and the SLIC will be as in active state except for the detector. The data can be used in variety of ways, for example to set transmission parameters in a programmable CODEC, in line testing where short circuits on the line can be detected and to control the metering signal amplitude. Overvoltage Protection PBL 386 14/1 must be protected against overvoltages on the telephone line. The overvoltages could be caused for instance by lightning, ac power contact and induction. Refer to Maximum Ratings, TIPX and RINGX terminals, for maximum continuous and transient voltages. Secondary Protection The circuit shown in Figure 14 utilizes series resistors together with a programmable overvoltage protector (e g Power Innovations TISP PBL2), serving as a secondary protection. The TISP PBL2 is a dual forward-conducting buffered p-gate overvoltage protector. The protector gate references the protection (clamping) voltage to negative supply voltage (i.e. the battery voltage, VB). As the protection voltage will track the negative supply voltage the overvoltage stress on the SLIC is minimized. Positive overvoltages are clamped to ground by a diode. Negative overvoltages are initially clamped close to the SLIC negative supply rail voltage and the protector will crowbar into a low voltage on-state condition, by firing an internal thyristor. 16 Figure 15. Line voltage measurment A gate decoupling capacitor, CGG, is needed to carry enough charge to supply a high enough current to quickly turn on the thyristor in the protector. CGG should be placed close to the overvoltage protection device. Without the capacitor even the low inductance in the track to the VB supply will limit the current and delay the activation of the thyristor clamp. The fuse resistors RF serve the dual purposes of being non- destructive energy dissipators, when transients are clamped and of being fuses, when the line is exposed to a power cross. If a PTC is chosen for RF , note that it is important to always use the PTC´s in series with resistors not sensitive to temperature, as the PTC will act as a capacitance for fast transients and therefore will not protect the TISP. Power-up Sequence No special power-up sequence is necessary except that ground has to be present before all other power supply voltages. The digital inputs C1 to C3 are internal pull-up terminals. Printed Circuit Board Layout Care in Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout is essential for proper function; The components connecting to the RSN input should be placed in close proximity to that pin, such that no interference is injected into the RSN pin. Ground plane surrounding the RSN pin is advisable. Analog ground (AGND) should be connected to battery ground (BGND) on the PCB in one point. RLC and RREF should be connected to AGND with short leads. Pin LP and pin PSG are sensitive to leakage currents. RSG and CLP connections to VBAT2 should be short and very close to each other. CB and CB2 must be connected with short wide leads.
