tions and to fit both single and dual battery
feed CODECs. The RSN terminal, connecting to the CODEC receive output via
the resistor R
RX
, is dc biased with +1,25V.
This makes it possible to compensate for
currents floating due to dc voltage differences between RSN and the CODEC output without using any capacitors. This is
done by connecting a resistor R
R
between
the RSN terminal and ground. With current
directions defined as in figure 13, current
summation gives:
where V
CODEC
is the reference voltage of the
CODEC at the receive output.
From this equation the resistor RR can be
calculated as
For values on I

, see table 3.
The resistor RR has no influence on the ac
transmission.

Battery Feed
The PBL 386 30/2 SLIC emulate resistive
loop feed, programmable between 2·50 Ω
and 2·900 Ω, with adjustable current limitation. In the current limited region the loop
current has a slight slope corresponding to
2·30 kΩ, see figure 12 reference B.
The open loop voltage measured between the TIPX and RINGX terminals is
tracking the battery voltage V
Bat
. The sig-
nalling headroom, or overhead voltage V
TRO
,
is programmable with a resistor ROV connected between terminal POV on the SLIC
and ground. Please refer to section “Programmable overhead voltage(POV)”.
The battery voltage overhead, VOH, depends on the programmed signal overhead
voltage. VOH defines the TIP to RING voltage at open loop conditions according to
VTR(at IL = 0 mA) = |V
Bat
| - VOH.
Refer to table 2 for typical values on V
OH
and V
OHVirt
. The overhead voltage is changed
when the line current is approaching open
loop conditions. To ensure maximum open
loop voltage, even with a leaking telephone
line, this occurs at a line current of approximately 6 mA. When the overhead voltage
has changed, the line voltage is kept nearly
constant with a steep slope corresponding
to 2·25 Ω(reference G in figure 12).
The virtual battery overhead, V
OHvirt
, is
defined as the difference between the battery voltage and the crossing point of all
possible resistive feeding slopes, see figure 12 reference J. The virtual battery overhead is a theoretical constant needed to be
able to calculate the feeding characteristics.

The resistive loop feed (reference D in
figure 12) is programmed by connecting a
resistor, RSG, between terminals PSG and
VBAT according to the equation:
R

RSG + 2 · 104
+ 2R

where R
Feed
is in Ω for RSG and RF in Ω.
The current limit (reference C in figure
12) is adjusted by connecting a resistor,
RLC, between terminal PLC and ground
according to the equation:
RLC =

where RLC is in kΩ for I

in mA.
A second, lower battery voltage may be
connected to the device at terminal VBAT2
to reduce short loop power dissipation. The
SLIC automatically switches between the
two battery supply voltages without need
for external control. The silent battery
switching occurs when the line voltage
passes the value
|VB2| - 40·IL - (V
OHVirt
-1,3), if IL > 6mA.
For correct functionality it is important to
connect the terminal VBAT2 to the second
power supply via the diode D
VB2
in figure 11.
An optional diode D
BB
connected between terminal VB and the VB2 power
supply, see figure 11, will make sure that
the SLIC continues to work on the second
battery even if the first battery voltage disappears.
If a second battery voltage is not used,
VBAT2 is connected to VBAT on the SLIC
and C

, DBB and D
VB2
are removed.
