Function Description
Power Supply
The ICS1660 is desig ned to be power ed by a standard 9.0 volt
battery. The chip contains a voltage regulator that powers
extern al circ uitry and pro vides t he suppl y vol tage fo r all digital
I/O on the circuit. This allows easy interface between the
ICS1660 and othe r standa rd log ic worki ng at 5.0 V. Thi s regu lator has short circuit protection and requires an external filter/compe nsat io n capa c itor with a minimum val ue of 10uf.
In the event that an external regulated 5.0V supply is available,
the V
IN
and VDD pins can be shorte d to permit the entire system
to work from a common supply .
A low battery detection circuit is provided. This circuit is
designed for a typical tri p point of 6.0 V with hysteresi s of about
200mV above the trip point. This signal is low active and is
multiplexed to the FSKBAT output pin when the PWR input is
low.
In an effort to keep powe r dissipati on to a minimum and ext end
batte ry life , most of the an alog c ircui ts are tu rned off when the
circuit is at rest waiting for a ring detect, (PWR pin low).
During this time only the regulator, low battery detect, reference generator, and ring detect circuits are active. When the
PWR pin is high, all circuits are active.
Ring Detect
As shown in the attached block diagram, the LINEA and
LINEB inputs should be connected to the telephone line
through external 82kΩ resistors and 0.1uf capacitors. This
provides DC i sola t ion an d set s up a voltage di vid er wit h i nt er nal resistors t hat will detec t 35.0V RMS typica lly. This vol tage
is applied across the LINEA and LINEB inputs. The design
value of the internal resistors is 8.1KΩ ± 20% with relative
accuracy of 2%. The RING output is high active.
Differential Front End
As shown in the attached block diagram, the LINEA and
LINEB inputs go into a differential amplifier which in turn
drives a filter. All resistors are internal to the chip while
capacitors are connec t ed as shown in the bl ock diagram. After
filtering, the signal is AC coupled into a high gain amplifier
that conv erts the signal t o digital. This di gital si gnal i n turn a cts
as the reference frequency for the phase comparator section of
the phase locked loop.
FSK Demodulation
After the signal from the telephone line has been filtered,
amplifie d a nd co nve rt ed to dig it al, it a cts as an input t o a ph ase
locked l oop. This PLL does FSK demo dulation . The summ ing
amplifier shown in the block diagram provides a signal to the
VCO that should be about 0.5V for MARK frequency
(1200 HZ), and 2.0V for SPACE fre que nc y (2 200 HZ ).
As shown in the block diagram, the LFILTER (loop filter)
output has a post filter att ached to it. This POSTF signa l is sent
to a comparator. The other side of the comparator is set to
approximately 2.5V. This comparator has a small amount
(200mV) of hysteresis and its output is the demodulated FSK
data. The FSK output is high for MARK freq uency and low for
SPACE frequency. FSK data is multiplexed out of the
FSKBAT pin when the PWR input is high.
The VCO frequency is set with one external resistor with a
value in t he range of 3 00K fo r a cent e r fre qu ency of 1700 HZ.
The lock r an ge wil l be 66 0 HZ to 2630 HZ t ypi cal . Th e ce nt e r
frequen cy reproduc i bil it y wil l be ±1 5 %. Th e c e nte r frequency
can be adjusted in the system by connecting AMPIN to VSS,
PWR to VDD, and ad justing the exter nal resist or for 17 00 HZ.
This freque nc y can be observed at the LFILTE R outp ut or the
FSK/BAT output.
