ORDERING NUMBER:
The Kit comprises 2 devices, the L3234 ringing
injector fabricated in Bipolar in 140V Technology.
Its function is to amplify and inject in balanced
mode with zero crossing the ringing signal. The
device requires an external positive supply of
100V and a low level sinusoid of approx.
950mVrms. The L3235N Line Feeder is integrated in 60V Bipolar Technology. The L3235N
provides battery feed to the line with programmable current limitation. The two to four wire voice
frequency signal conversion is implemented by
the L3235N and line terminating and balance impedances are externally programmable. The
L3234/L3235N kit is designed for low power dissipation. In a short loop condition the extra power is
dissipated on an external transistor. The Kit is
controlled by five wire parallel bus and interfaces
easily to all the STLC5046 and STLC5048
CODECs. In Kit with STLC5048 (see fig 1) the
line impedance synthesis and echo canceling are
performed inside the CODEC.

Solid State Ringing Injector
DESCRIPTION
The L3234 is a monolithic integrat ed circuit which
is part of a kit of solid state devices for the subscriber line interface. The L3234 sends a ringing
signal into a two wires analog telephone line in
balanced mode. The AC ringing signal amplitude
is up t o 60Vrms, and for that purpose a positive
supply voltage of +100V shall be available on the
subscriber card.
The L3234 receives a low amplitude ringing signal (950mVrms) and provide the voltage/current
amplification (60Vrms/70mA) when the enable input is active (CS
0.8V) the power consumption of the chip is very
low (<14mW).
The circuit is designed with a high voltage bipolar
technology (V
> 2V). In disable mode (CS <
> 140V / V
CEO
> 250V).

When the ringing injection is disabled (CS = "0"),
the output voltage on OUT2 raises to the high

ground.
The L3234 has a low output impedance when
sending the signal, and high output impedance
when the ringing signal is disabled

Subscriber Line Interface Circuit
DESCRIPTION
Circuit description
The L3235N Subscriber Line Interface Circuit
(SLIC) is a bipolar integrat ed circuit in 60V technology optimized for PABX application.
The L3235N supplies a line feed voltage with a
current limitation which can be modified by an external resistor (RLIM).
The SLIC incorporates loop currents, ground key
detection functions with an externally programmable constant time.
The two to four wires and four t o two wires voice
frequency signal conversion is performed by the
L3235N and the line terminating and the balancing impedances are externally programmable.
The device integrates an automatic power limitation circuit. In short loop condit ion the extra power
is dissipated on one external transistor (Text).
This aproach allows to assembly the L3235N in a
low cost standard plastic TQFP44 package.
The c hip is protec ted b y ther mal prot ecti on at
Tj = 150°C.
The SLIC is able to give a power up command for
Combo in off hook condition and an enable logic
for solid state ringing injector L3234.
The L3235N package is 44 pin plastic TQFP.
The L3235N has been designed to operate
togheter with L3234 performing complete
BORSHT function without any electromechanical
ringing relay (see the application circuit fig. 16).
Operating ranges define those limits between which the functionality of the device is guaranteed.

L3235N FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The different operating modes of the L3235N are
programmed through a digital inter face based on
two input pins:
1)SBY input programs the stand-by or Active/Ringing modes.
2)RNG input programs the ringing ON/OFF activation condition for the L3234.
The L3235N digital interface has four output pins :
1)OH provides the on hook/off hook or ring trip
informations (active low).
2)GDK provides the ground key on/off information (active low).
3)PU must be connected to the enable input pin
of CODEC/FILTER devices like ETC 5054/57
12/25
and automatically activates this device when
in active mode off-hook is detected or when
ringing mode is selected.
4)CS output must be connected to the CS enable input of the solid state ringing injector
L3234.
In this way the L3234 will be enabled when ringing mode is programmed and will be automatically disabled when the ring trip condition will be
detected reducing the ringing signal disconnection time after ring trip.
The table 1 here below resumes the dif ferent operation modes and the relative logic output signals.
The two current detection (hook and GND key)
have internal fixed threshold. Externally it is possible to program their time costant through two R-C
components connected respectively to pin 26
(RTF) and pin 27 (GKF).

(SBY = 1 and RNG = 0)
In Stand-By mode the L3235N limits the DC Loop
current to 3 mA.
In this mode all the AC circuits are active and all
the AC characteristics are the same as in Active
Mode.
Also the two Line Current detectors (hook and
GND key) are active but due to the loop current
limited to 3 mA they will not be activated.
This mode is useful in emergency condition when
it is very important to lim its the system power dissipation.
Ringing Mode
(SBY = 0 and RNG = 1)
When ringing mode is selected "CS" pin is set to
1 in order to activate the L3234 ringing injector.
See L3234 for detailed description.
Ring trip is detected by means of the same inter-
nal circuitry used for off-hook detection.

An off-hook delay time lower than

When ring trip is detected "CS" is automatically
set to "0" allowing in this way a quick ringing disconnection.
After Ring trip detection the Card Controller must
set the L3235N in active mode to remove the internal latching of the "CS" information.

In Active mode the L3235N has the DC characteristic show in Fig.13
The DC characteristics of L3235N has two different feeding conditions:
1)Current Limiting Region : (short loop) the DC
impedance of the SLIC is very high (>20
Kohm) therefore the system works as a current generator. By the ext. r esistor RLIM connected at pin 19 it is possible to program limiting current values from 20 mA to 70 mA.
2) Voltage source region (long loop).
The DC impedance of the L3235N is almost
equal to zero therefore the system works like
a voltage generator with in series the two external protection resistors Rp.
When a limiting current value higher than 40 mA
is programmed the device will automatically reduce to 40 mA the loop current for very short
loop.
This is done in order to lim it the maximum power
dissipation in very short loop to values lower than
2W for the external transistor and lower than
0.5W for the L3235N itself.
This improve the system reliability reducing the
L3235N power dissipation and therefore the internal junction temperature.

External components list for L3235N
To set the SLIC into operation the following parameters have to be defined:
- The AC SLIC impedance at line terminals "Zs" to which the return loss measurements is referred. It can
be real (typ. 600Ω) or complex.
- The equivalent AC impedance of the line "Zl" used for evaluation of the trans-hybrid loss performance
(2/4 wire conversion). It is usually a complex impedance.
- The value of the two protection resistors Rp in series with the line termination.
Once, the above parameters are defined, it is possible to calculate all the external components using the
