IN2411

APPLICATION NOTE
The application circuit illustrates the use of the IN2411 devices in typical telephone or extension tone ringer
application.
The AC ringer signal voltage appears across the TIP and RING inputs of the circuit and is attenuated by
capacitor C
1
and resistor R1.
C
1
also provides isolation from DC voltages (48V) on the exchange line.
After full wave rectification by the bridge diode, the waveform is filtered by capacitor C
4
to provide a DC supply
for the tone ringer chip.
As this voltage exceeds the initiation voltage (V
SI
), oscillation starts.
With the components shown, the ouptut frequency chops between 512(f
h1
) and 640Hz(fh2) at a 10Hz(fL) rate.
The loudsp eaker load is coupled thro ugh a 1300Ω to 8Ω transformer.
The output coupling capacitor C
5
is required with transformer coupled loads.
When driving a piezo-ceramic transducer type load, the coupling C
5
and transformer (1300Ω:8Ω) are not
required.
However, a current limiting resistor is required.
The low frequency oscillator oscillates at a rate (f
L
) controlled by an external resistor (R2) and capacitor (C2).
The frequency can be determined using the relation f
L
=1/1.289R2xC2. The high frequency oscillates at a fH1, f
H2
controlled by an external resistor (R3) and capacitor (C3). The frequency can be determined using the relation
f
H1
=1/1.504R3xC3, fH2=1/1.203R3xC3.
Pin 2 allows connection of an external resistor R
SL
, which is used to program the solpe of the supply current vs
supply voltage characteristics (see Fig2), and hence the supply current up to the initiation voltage ( V
SI
). This
initiation voltage remains constant independent of R
SL
.
The supply current drawn prior to triggering va ries inversely with R
SL
, decreasing for increasing value of
resistance. Thus, increasing the value of R
SL
will decrease the amount of AC ringing current required to trigger
the device. As such, longer sucribser loops are possible since less voltage is dropped per unit length of loop wire
due to the lower current level. R
SL
can also be used to compensated for smaller AC couplin capacitors (C5 on Fig
3) (higher impe dance) to the line which can be used to alter the ringer equivalence number of a tone r i nger
circuit.
The graph in Fig2 illustrates the variation of supply current with supply voltage. Three curves are drawn to show
the variation of initiation current with R
SL
. Curve B( RSL=6.8KΩ) shows the I-V characteristic for the IN2411
tone ringer.
Curve A is a plot with R
SL
<6.8KΩ and shows an increase in the current drawn up to the initiation voltageVSI. The
I-V characteristic after initiation remains unchanged. Curve C illustrates the effect of increasing R
SL
above
6.8KΩ initiation current decreases but again current after triggering is unchanged.
