Functional description
Design procedure; ref. to fig.4.
The design is made easier through that all
settable parameters are returned to ground (-line), this feature differs it from bridge
type solutions.To set the parameters in the
following order will result in that the
interaction between the same is minimized.
1. Set the circuit impedance to the line,
either resistive (600Ω) or complex. (R3
and C1). C1 should be big enough to give
low impedance compared with R3 in the
telephone speech frequency band.Too
large C1 will make the start-up slow. See
fig. 6.
2. Set the DC-characteristic that is
required in the PTT specification or in case
of a system telephone,in the PBX
specification (R6).There are also internal
circuit dependent requirements like supply
voltages etc.
3. Set the attac point where the line
length regulation is supposed to cut in
(R15 and R16). Note that in some countries
the line length regulation is not allowed. In
most cases the end result isbetter and
more readily achieved by using the line
length regulation (line loss compensation)
than without. See fig. 13.
4. Set the transmitter gain and
frequency response.
5. Set the receiver gain and frequency
response. See text how to limit the max.
swing to the earphone.
6. Adjust the side tone balancing
network.
7. Set the RFI suppression
components in case necessary. In two
piece telephones the often ”helically”
wound cord acts as an aerial. The
microphone input with its high gain is
especially sensitive.
8. Circuit protection. Apart from any
other protection devices used in the design a good practice is to connect a 15V
1W zener diode across the circuit , from
pin 1 to -Line.
Impedance to the line
The AC- impedance to the line is
set by R3, C1 and C2. Fig.4. The circuits
relatively high parallel impedance will not
influence it to any noticeable extent. At low
frequencies the influence of C1 can not be
neglected. Series resistance of C1 that is
dependent on the temperature and the
quality of the component will cause some
of the line signal to enter pin 4. This
generates a closed loop in the transmitter
amplifier that in it´s turn will create an
active impedance thus lowering the
impedance to the line. The impedance at
high frequencies is set by C2 that also
acts as a RFI suppressor.
In many specifications the
impedance towards the line is specified as
a complex network. See fig. 6. In case a).
the error signal entering pin 4 is set by the
ratio ≈Rs/R3 (910Ω), where in case b). the
ratio at high frequencies will be Rs/220Ω
because the 820Ω resistor is bypassed by
a capacitor. To help up this situation the
complex network capacitor is connected
directly to ground, case c). making the ratio
Rs/220Ω+820Ω and thus lessening the
error signal. Conclusion: Connect like in
case c) when complex impedance is
specified.
DC - characteristic
The DC - characteristic that a
telephone set has to fulfill is mainly given
by the network administrator. Following
parameters are useful to know when the
DC behaviour of the telephone is to be set:
• The voltage of the feeding system
• The line feeding resistance 2 x.......
ohms.
• The maximum current from the line at
zero line length.
• The min. current at which the telephone
has to work (basic function).
• The lowest and highest voltage
permissible across the telephone set.
• The highest voltage that the
telephone may have at different line
currents. Normally set by the
network owners specification.The
lowest voltage for the telephone is
normally set by the voltages that are
needed for the different parts of the
telephone to function. For ex. for
transmitter output amplifier, receiver output amplifier, dialler, speech
switching.
