Battery Feed
The PBL 386 40/2 SLIC emulate resistive
loop Feed, programmable between
2·50Ω 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 13
reference B.
The open loop voltage measured
between the TIPX and RINGX terminals
is tracking the battery voltage V
Bat
. The
signalling headroom, or overhead voltage
V
TRO
, is programmable with a resistor R
OV
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 V
TRO
. VOH defines the
TIPX to RINGX voltage at open loop
conditions according to VTR(at IL = 0 mA)
= |V
Bat
| - VOH.
Refer to table 2 for typical values on
VOH 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 13).
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 13 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 13) is programmed by connecting
a resistor, RSG, between terminals PSG
and VBAT according to the equation:

where R

The current limit (reference C in figure

RLC, between terminal PLC and ground
according to the equation:

where R

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 > 6 mA.
For correct functionality it is important
to connect the terminal VBAT2 to the
second power supply via the diode D
VB2
in figure 12.
An optional diode D
BB
connected
between terminal VB and the VB2 power
supply, see figure 12, 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
VB2
, DBB and D
VB2
are re-
moved.
Metering applications

CODEC Receive Interface
The PBL 386 40/2 SLIC have got a
completely new receive interface at the
four wire side which makes it possible to
reduce the number of capacitors in the
applications 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 RR between the RSN terminal and ground.
With current directions defined as in
figure 14, 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
RSN
, see table 3.
The resistor RR has no influence on the
ac transmission.
