The PBL 386 14/1 Subscriber Line Interface Circuit (SLIC) is a 90 V bipolar integrated
circuit for use in ISDN Network Terminal Adapters and other short loop
telecommunication equipment which often are remote powered, and by that, the
available power is limited. The PBL 386 14/1 has been optimized for low total line
interface cost, low power and requires a minimum of external components.
The PBL 386 14/1 has constant current feed, programmable to max 30mA. The SLIC
uses a first battery voltage for On-hook . A second battery voltage is used for
Off-hook and must be connected, to reduce short loop power dissipation. The SLIC
automatically switches between the two battery supply voltages without need for
external components or external control. The loop current controls the switching
between On-hook and Off-hook battery.
The SLIC incorporates loop current, ground key and ring trip detection functions.
The PBL 386 14/1 is compatible with loop start signalling. Two- to four-wire and
four- to two-wire voice frequency (vf) signal conversion is accomplished by the SLIC
in conjunction with either a conventional CODEC/filter or with a programmable
CODEC/filter, e.g. SLAC, SiCoFi, Combo II. The programmable line terminating
impedance could be complex or real to fit every market. Longitudinal voltages are
suppressed by a feedback loop in the SLIC and the longitudinal balance specifications meet Bellcore TR909 requirements.
The PBL 386 14/1 package is a very PCB space efficient 28-pin SSOP.

Hybrid Function
The hybrid function can easily be implemented utilizing the uncommitted amplifier
in conventional CODEC/filter combinations.
Please, refer to figure 10. Via impedance
a current proportional to VRX is injected
Z
B
into the summing node of the combination
CODEC/filter amplifier. As can be seen
from the expression for the four-wire to
four-wire gain a voltage proportional to V
RX
is returned to VTX. This voltage is converted
by RTX to a current flowing into the same
summing node. These currents can be
made to cancel by letting:
VTX + VRX

If calculation of the Z
formula above
B
yields a balance network containing an
inductor, an alternate method is recommended.
The PBL 386 14/1 SLIC may also be
used together with programmable CODEC/
filters. The programmable CODEC/filter
allows for system controller adjustment of
hybrid balance to accommodate different
line impedances without change of hardware. In addition, the transmit and receive
gain may be adjusted. Please, refer to the
programmable CODEC/filter data sheets
for design information.
Longitudinal Impedance
A feed back loop counteracts longitudinal
voltages at the two-wire port by injecting
longitudinal currents in opposing phase.
Thus longitudinal disturbances will appear as longitudinal currents and the TIPX
and RINGX terminals will experience very
small longitudinal voltage excursions, leaving metallic voltages well within the SLIC
common mode range.
The SLIC longitudinal impedance per wire,
Z
LoT
and Z
, appears as typically 20 Ω to
LoR
longitudinal disturbances. It should be noted that longitudinal currents may exceed
the dc loop current without disturbing the vf
transmission.
Capacitors CTC and C
If RFI filtering is needed, the capacitors
T
designated CTC and CRC in figure 13, con-
RC
nected between TIPX and ground as well
as between RINGX and ground, may be
mounted.
CTC and CRC work as RFI filters in conjunction with suitable series impedances
(i.e. resistances, inductances). Resistors
RF1 and RF2 may be sufficient, but series
inductances can be added to form a second order filter. Current-compensated inductors are suitable since they suppress
common-mode signals with minimum influence on return loss. Recommended values
for CTC and CRC are below 1 nF. Lower
values impose smaller degradation on return loss and longitudinal balance, but also
attenuate radio frequencies to a smaller
extent. The influence on the impedance
loop must also be taken into consideration
when programming the CODEC. CTC and
CRC contribute to a metallic impedance of
1/(π•f•CTC) = 1/(π•f•CRC), a TIPX to ground
impedance of 1/(2•π•f•CTC) and a RINGX to
ground impedance of 1/(2•π•f•CRC).
AC - DC Separation Capacitor, C
HP
The high pass filter capacitor connected
between terminals HP and RINGX provides the separation of the ac and dc
signals. CHP positions the low end frequency response break point of the ac loop in the
SLIC. Refer to table 1 for recommended
value of CHP.
Example: A CHP value of 68 nF will
position the low end frequency response
3dB break point of the ac loop at 13 Hz (f

= 1/(2•π•R

High-Pass Transmit Filter
When CODEC/filter with a single 5 V power
supply is used, it is necessary to separate
the different signal reference voltages between the SLIC and the CODEC/filter. In
the transmit direction this can be done by
connecting a capacitor between the VTX
output of the SLIC and the CODEC/filter
input. This capacitor will also form, together with RTX and/or the input impedance of
the CODEC/filter, a high-pass RC filter. It is
recommended to position the 3 dB break
point of this filter between 30 and 80 Hz to
get a fast enough response for the dc steps
that may occur with DTMF signaling.

LP

Adaptive Overhead Voltage, AOV
The Adaptive Overhead Voltage feature
minimizes the power dissipation and at the
same time provides a flexible solution for
different system requirements and possible future changes concerning voice, metering and other signal levels. This is done
by using an overhead voltage which automatically adapts to the signal level (voice +
metering).
The PBL38615/1 will behave as a SLIC
with fixed overhead for signals in the 020kHz range and with an amplitude less
than 1V

making it possible for the signal to propagate through the SLIC without distortion (
This is the total sum of voice and metering
signal). The expansion of the overhead
occurs instantaneously. When the signal
amplitude decreases, the overhead returns
to its initial value with a time constant of
approximately one second (see figure 11).

During operation the influence of the adaptive overhead function will not effect the
SLIC performance in the constant current
region of operation (see figure 11). If,

however, the SLIC is in the off-hook,

the influence of the adaptive headroom will
be apparent as a slight decrease in line
voltage (and hence line current) as the
SLIC adjusts to accommodate the larger
(voice + metering) signal.
When the line current is approaching
open loop conditions (references G in Figure

Battery Switch
To reduce short loop power dissipation, a
second battery voltage, Off-hook, must be
connected to the device via an external
diode at terminal VBAT2. The SLIC automatically switches between the two battery
supply voltages without need for external
control. The silent battery switching to VBAT
occurs when the line current is below 5.5
mA. This means that the current in the Onhook battery is limited to 6 mA. To calculate
the switching voltage use this formula (See
formula C in Figure 16):
=| VB2 | -4.4 - 50 · I

TR
If metering is used see section Metering
Applications down below.
Connect the terminal VBAT2 to the
second power supply via the diode DB2 in
Figure 14. A diode DBB connected between
VB and the VB2 power supply, see Figure
14, will make sure that the SLIC continues
to work on the second battery even if the
first battery voltage disappears.
The current commute between the different batteries as shown in figure 12, note
that some current is sourced from VB (typ.
0.5 mA, internal bias current) when the line
current is sourced from VB2. The next chart
(figure 13) is showing what power dissipation the SLIC is using with different batteries and variation of the line.

Analog Temperature Guard
The widely varying environmental
conditions in which SLICs operate may
lead to the chip temperature limitations
being exceeded. The PBL 386 14/1 SLIC
reduces the dc line current and the
longitudinal current limit when the chip
temperature reaches approximately 145°C
and increases it again automatically when
the temperature drops.
The detector output, DET, is forced to a
logic low level when the temperature guard
is active.
The Active state temperature guard is
exclusively viewed at detector output see
section Active Temperature guard.
Loop Monitoring Functions
The loop current, ground key and ring trip
detectors report their status through a common output, DET. The status of the detector pin, DET, is selected via the three bit
control interface C1, C2 and C3. Please
refer to section Control Inputs for a description of the control interface.
Loop Current Detector
The loop current detector indicates that
the telephone is off hook and that DC
current is flowing in the loop by putting the
output pin DET, to a logic low level when
selected. The loop current detector threshold value, I
tector changes state, is programmable with
the RLD resistor. RLD connects between pin
PLD and ground and is calculated according to:
=
R
LD
I
Ground Key Detector
The ground key detector indicates when
the ground key is pressed (active) by putting the output pin DET to a logic high level
when selected. The ground key detector
circuit senses the difference between TIPX
and RINGX currents. The detector is triggered when the difference exceeds the
current threshold.

Ring Trip Detector
Ring trip detection is accomplished by
connecting an external network to a comparator in the SLIC with inputs DT and DR.
The ringing source can be balanced or
unbalanced e g superimposed on the battery voltage or ground. The unbalanced
ringing source may be applied to either the
ring lead or the tip lead with return via the
other wire. A ring relay driven by the SLIC
ring relay driver connects the ringing source
to tip and ring.
The ring trip function is based on a polarity change at the comparator input when
the line goes off-hook. In the on-hook state
no dc current flows through the loop and
the voltage at comparator input DT is more
positive than the voltage at input DR. When
the line goes off-hook, while the ring relay
is energized, dc current flows and the comparator input voltage reverses polarity.
Figure 14 gives an example of a ring trip
detection network. This network is applicable, when the ring voltage superimposed
on the battery voltage is injected on the ring
lead of the two-wire port. The dc voltage
across sense resistor RRT is monitored by
the ring trip comparator input DT and DR
via the filter network R1, R2, R3, R4, C1 and
C2. DT is more positive than DR, with the
line on-hook (no dc current). The DET
output will report logic level high, i.e. the
detector is not tripped. When the line goes
off-hook, while ringing, a dc current will flow
through the loop including sense resistor
RRT and will cause the input DT to become
more negative than input DR. This changes the output on the DET pin to logic level
low, i.e. tripped detector condition. The
system controller (or line card processor)
responds by de-energizing the ring relay
via the SLIC, i.e. ring trip.
Complete filtering of the 20 Hz ac component at terminals DT and DR is not necessary. A toggling DET output can be examined by a software routine to determine the
duty cycle. Off-hook condition is indicated
when the DET output is at logic level low for
more than half the time.
Detector Output (DET)
The PBL 386 14/1 SLIC incorporates a
detector output driver designed as open
collector (npn) with a current sinking capability of min 3 mA, and a 10 kΩ pull-up
resistor. The emitter of the drive transistor
is connected to AGND. A LED can be
connected in series with a resistor (≈1 kΩ)
at the DET output to visualize, for example
loop status.
Relay driver
The PBL 386 14/1 SLIC incorporates a
ring relay driver designed as open collector
(npn) with a current sinking capability of 50
mA.The emitter of the drive transistor is
connected to BGND. The relay driver has
an internal zener diode clamp to protect the
SLIC from inductive kick-back voltages. No
external clamp is needed.
Control Inputs
The PBL 386 14/1 SLIC has three digital
control inputs, C1, C2 and C3.
A decoder in the SLIC interprets the control
input condition and sets up the commanded operating state.
C1 to C3 are internal pull-up inputs.
Open Circuit State
In the Open Circuit State the TIPX and
RINGX line drive amplifiers as well as other
circuit blocks are powered down. This causes the SLIC to present a high impedance to
the line. Power dissipation is at a minimum
and no detectors are active.

Ringing State
In the ringing state the SLIC will behave as
in the active state with the exception that
the ring relay driver and the ring trip detector are activated. The ring trip detector will
indicate off hook with a logic low level at the
detector output.
Active State
TIPX is the terminal closest to ground and
sources loop current while RINGX is the
more negative terminal and sinks loop current. The loop current or the ground key
detector is activated. The loop current detector indicates off hook with a logic low

Line Voltage measurement
The line voltage is presented on the detector output as a pulse train (see Figure 15)
with a frequency inversely proportional to
the voltage according to the equation:
106
freq =
|VTR| + 1
The line voltage measurement will be
started when entering this state from any
other state and the SLIC will be as in active
state except for the detector. The data can
be used in variety of ways, for example to
set transmission parameters in a programmable CODEC, in line testing where short
circuits on the line can be detected and to
control the metering signal amplitude.
Overvoltage Protection
PBL 386 14/1 must be protected against
overvoltages on the telephone line. The
overvoltages could be caused for instance
by lightning, ac power contact and induction. Refer to Maximum Ratings, TIPX and
RINGX terminals, for maximum continuous and transient voltages.
Secondary Protection
The circuit shown in Figure 14 utilizes series
resistors together with a programmable
overvoltage protector (e g Power Innovations TISP PBL2), serving as a secondary
protection.
The TISP PBL2 is a dual forward-conducting buffered p-gate overvoltage protector. The protector gate references the
protection (clamping) voltage to negative
supply voltage (i.e. the battery voltage, VB).
As the protection voltage will track the
negative supply voltage the overvoltage
stress on the SLIC is minimized.
Positive overvoltages are clamped to
ground by a diode. Negative overvoltages
are initially clamped close to the SLIC negative supply rail voltage and the protector
will crowbar into a low voltage on-state
condition, by firing an internal thyristor.
[Hz]

A gate decoupling capacitor, C
ed to carry enough charge to supply a high
enough current to quickly turn on the thyristor in the protector. CGG should be placed
close to the overvoltage protection device.
Without the capacitor even the low inductance in the track to the VB supply will limit
the current and delay the activation of the
thyristor clamp.
The fuse resistors RF serve the dual
purposes of being non- destructive
energy dissipators, when transients are
clamped and of being fuses, when the
line is exposed to a power cross. If a
PTC is chosen for RF , note that it is
important to always use the PTC´s in
series with resistors not sensitive to
temperature, as the PTC will act as a
capacitance for fast transients and
therefore will not protect the TISP.

Power-up Sequence
No special power-up sequence is necessary except that ground has to be present
before all other power supply voltages.
The digital inputs C1 to C3 are internal
pull-up terminals.
Printed Circuit Board Layout
Care in Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout
is essential for proper function;
The components connecting to the RSN
input should be placed in close proximity to
that pin, such that no interference is injected into the RSN pin. Ground plane surrounding the RSN pin is advisable.
Analog ground (AGND) should be connected to battery ground (BGND) on the
PCB in one point.
