The ISL5585EV A L4 evaluation board provides a complete
PCM to 2W Ringing SLIC/CODEC line card for the e valuation
of the RSLIC18 family of 5V and 3.3V Ringing SLICs (RSLIC).
The evaluation board is designed to accommodate b oth the
HC55185 5V and the ISL5585 3.3V and includes companion
5V and 3.3V CODECs from Winbond.
Key Features
The evaluation board is designed to allow individual testing
of the RSLIC, or the CODEC. With the correct choice of
jumpers, the analog interface between the RSLIC and
CODEC can be established, allowing a complete A-D and DA evaluation of the RSLIC - CODEC chip-set. The digital
interface has the capability of direct connection to an
external PCM bus, or to a PCM4 for measurement. The
evaluation board includ es an on-board oscillator/co unter to
generate the CODEC MCLK and frame sync signals so th at 2
evaluation boards can share a commo n PCM bus to
implement a full-duplex A-A evaluation system.

RSLIC Ringing Tests
Description
The ringing configuration supports full evaluation of the
ringing capability of the ISL5585 and HC55185 devices. The
evaluation board design does not include a ring signal
generator. Ring signals can be provided with an external
generator through the VRS BNC connector, or can be
sourced through the CODEC by inserting jumper JP5 CODEC.
Operation of the RSLIC in the ringing mode results in
dangerous voltages appearing at the tip and ring terminals.
Extra care is required when connecting external equipment
to the tip and ring terminals during testing to pre vent
personnel injury and equipment damage.
Jumper Settings
The jumper JP5 provides three positions for different ringing
techniques.

output level of 0dBm from the CODEC is required to provide
full scale ringing when operating from -100V battery.
External Ringing Source
Using an external function generator at J9 provides the most
control of the ringing waveform. The flexibility of the ringing
interface can be fully exercised by the function generator.
Trapezoidal Ringing
A logic level square wave, at J9, with 50% duty cycle will be
shaped by the components R

jumper position is selected. The components shipped with
the evaluation board will result in a 75V

ringing waveform when operating from a -100V battery.
Ring Trip Control
Three very distinct actions occur when the device detects a
ring trip. First, the DET
output is latched low. The latching
mechanism eliminates the need for software filtering of the
detector output. The latch is cleared when the operating
mode is changed externally. Second, the VRS input is
disabled, removing the ring signal from the line. Third, the
device is internally forced to the forward active mode,
however, low battery is not automatically selected upon ring
trip, and must be switched manually using the BSEL toggle
switch.
AC Transmission Tests
Description
Tests of the AC transmission parameters of the SLIC and the
CODEC can be performed individually, or as a complete 2W
to PCM line circuit. Jumpers are used to complete the
analog signal interface between the RSLIC and the CODEC
as shown in Table 3. The RSLIC and CODEC gain equations
and target values are contained in Section 3: AC
Transmission Theory and Design.
Test Set-up for RSLIC and CODEC Gains
Basic tests of the RSLIC and CODEC AC gain parameters
can be performed using a signal generator and standard AC
voltmeters, or a complete suite of PCM4 tests can be
performed on the RSLIC and the CODEC separately. The
RSLIC PCM4 tests use the A-A tests. The CODEC R
T
gain tests use the PCM4 A-D and D-A tests.
X
For RSLIC gain tests, the RX AC test input is connected to
the VREC BNC (RSLIC receive input) and the 2W AC test
output is measured at the tip-ring term inals. The RSLIC
analog 4W transmit output is measured at the VXMIT BNC.
A summary of RSLIC and CODEC tests is provided in Table
8.
The following analog input and output characteristics must
be considered when performing AC testing.

performing PCM4 AC gain tests.
PCM4 Set-up
Analog PCM4 testing of the RSLIC parameters is performed
using the analog I/O on the front panel. CODEC A-D and DA testing with the PCM4 requires the use of the digital I/O
connections to the evaluation board as indicated in the table
below.
Front panel cable lengths should be equal, and should be as
short as possible to prevent delay-induced errors.
The PCM4 General Parameter settings in the following table
should be used to configure the digital interface to the
CODEC prior to D-A and A-D testing.

Half-channel A-D and D-A PCM4 Testing
Description
The evaluation board is designed for 0dB gain, PCM to 2W
(D-A, Rx) and 2W to PCM (A-D, Tx) transmission paths.
These gains are established by the RSLIC gain resistor
values on the evaluation board. The CODEC D-A and A-D
gains are fixed to the values defined in the specific CODEC
data sheet. A detailed description of the AC Transmission
gain paths and equations is provided in Section 3.
The PCM4 configuration verifies the AC A-D and D-A
transmission of the 5V or 3.3V RSLIC/CODEC chip-set. Any
piece of test equipment capable of PCM testing with digital
and analog interfaces can be used in this configuration.
Jumper Settings
All jumper settings and functions are described below. All
other jumpers should be removed.

Digital to Analog
The receive signal path is defined from the CODEC PCM
input to the RSLIC 2W Tip and Ring outputs . The PCM4 tester
is capable of driving digital test signals on the PCM bus and
measuring the resultant analog signal at Tip and Ring. Typical
performance measurements include overall lo ss , gain
variation versus frequency, gain versus signal lev el, THD and
2-wire return loss. In addition, fidelity measurements such as
idle channel noise and distortion may also be measured.
Analog to Digital
The transmit signal path is defined from RSLIC 2W Tip and
Ring interface to the CODEC PCM output. The same tests
performed for the receive path also apply to the transmit
path.
Digital to Digital
The digital to digital path is from the CODEC PCM input to
the CODEC PCM output. This signal path provides a
measure of the trans-hybrid balance for the line circuit with a
600Ω termination at Tip and Ring.
Digital Loop Back Configuration
Description
The digital loop back configuration can be used to verify the
interface and operation of the RSLIC/CODEC chip-set. This
configuration provides a convenient self -test in the Forward
or Reverse active states to verify proper operation of the
analog and digital functions of the line circuit. The on-board
clock generator eliminates the need for an external PCM4
digital interface, enabling testing with a signal generator, AC
voltmeter and scope.
Clock and Frame Sync
The clock and frame sync signals are driven at connectors
J13 and J12 respectively. The clock input is common to the
MCLK, BCLKT and BCLKR of the CODEC. The frame sync
input is common to the receive and transmit frame syncs,

Dual-board A-A Configuration
Description
Two evaluation boards can be connected in the master-slave
configuration shown in Figure 4. The secondary power cable
provided connects power from the master board to the slave
board. The PCM digital communication interface is
established using a ribbon cable (not provided) connecting
the J14 connectors of each board.
This configuration establishes a full-duplex analog to analog
phone line across a common PCM bus. One board is
configured as a master for clock generation and the other is
configured as a slave. This PSTN-like configuration can be
used for speech communication between two phones, or to
perform full channel A-A PCM4 testing.
The ribbon cable used to connect the two boards at J14 also
connects the ground planes of the two evaluation boards.
Having returns adjacent to the high speed clock edges is
critical to reducing board level noise.
If transmission quality is poor verify both master and slave
boards are set up for same coding scheme, JP8. In addition,
verify the trans-hybrid jumper, JP7, is inserted in both
boards. If signal quality still does not improve, verify JP12 of
the slave board is not populated.

SECTION 3: AC Transmission Theory and
Design
Introduction
The information in the next section describes the signal flow
of the RSLIC and CODEC PCM to 2W transmission circuits.
Appendices A and B contain the block diagrams and AC
transmission equations needed to tailor the AC transmission
parameters to specific user requirements.
The scope is limited to the design of the telephony T
R
voice circuits within the 0.3kHz to 3.4kHz frequency
X
band. The user should refer to the specific RSLIC and
CODEC data sheet design equations for all other BORSCHT
functions and performance parameters.
General Description (refer to Appendices A and B)
The evaluation board implements a complete half-channel
line circuit with the user’s choice of fixed gain 5V and 3.3V
CODECs interfaced to the appropriate RSLIC. The following
AC transmission parameters are set by resistors that control
the RSLIC transmission gain paths:
• 2W impedance
• Receive (R
• Transmit (T
• Transhybrid balance
The RSLIC and associated components implement a
voltage-feed, current-sense architecture for setting the
above parameters. The receive path begins as PCM code
input to the CODEC, which performs the D-A conversion at
fixed-gain and supplies the analog receive signal to the
RSLIC high impedance 4W V
amplifier has a fixed inverting voltage gain of -2 (voltagefeed) with a floating differential output at the Tip and Ring
terminals.
The G
24 Tx
input. The RSLIC provides a termination impedance to the
externally applied T
Ring terminals. A pair of series-connected current sense
resistors in the RSLIC are connected to a differential sense
amplifier that develops a voltage output proportional to the
sensed AC signal current. This voltage is applied to the noninverting input of a second amplifier whose output is
summed with the incoming Rx signal from the CODEC,
forming the impedance matching circuit. The gain of the
second stage is controlled with external feedback resistor
(Rs) allowing for adjustment of the level of feedback, and
therefore the RSLIC 2W synthesized impedance.
The HC55185 (5V) and ISL5585 (3.3V) RSLICs have the
same internal architecture, however, the G

The resistor component values used to set each AC
transmission parameter have a strong influence on the
remaining parameters. Therefore, an ordered approach is
required to complete the setting of all 4 AC transmission
parameters. These are described next in the correct order.
RSLIC 2W Impedance Matching
Correct matching of the RSLIC 2W terminal impedance with
the load impedance is a requirement before the R
gains can be set. There are 2 components that make up the
total RSLIC impedance; the protection resistors (2 X R
the synthesized terminal impedance of the RSLIC (Z
impedance matching circuit and design equations are
included in Appendices A and B and are identical for both
the HC55185 (Table A1) and the ISL5585 (Table B1).
The RSLIC synthesized impedance has a strong
dependence on the protection resistance Rp. When
performing the impedance calculation, the Rp term should
include all resistance elements in series with the RSLIC tip
and ring terminals. This is especially important when
resistive current limiting devices, such as PTCs, are used.
The evaluation board components provide a 600Ω
impedance using the on-board protection resistor values of
51Ω in the tip and ring leads.

The receive gain path block diagram and equations for the

The evaluation board is designed for an overall receive gain
of 0dB. The gain path equations (EQ. 8, and EQ. 9) apply to
this configuration. The evaluation board gain of 0dB and is
easily achieved due to the fixed 0dB gain of the RSLIC and
the CODEC.
For receive gains other than 0dB. the HC55185 R

can be configured to that of the ISL5585 as shown in
Appendix A. Both the ISL5585 and HC55185 are pincompatible, and have identical AC transmission gain blocks.
When using this alternate configuration with the HC55185,
the gain equations for the 3.3V configuration shown in Table
1A will apply.
The overall receive gain has a strong dependence on the
RSLIC synthesized impedance and the correct impedance
match.
Jumper JP13 selects the R
configuration and gain for the
X
ISL5585 and HC55185 RSLICs.
Transmit Gain Path, T
X
The transmit gain path circuits for both 3.3V and 5V are the
same. Howev er , the gain component values are different due
to differences in the Absolute V oltage Ref erence Le v el of the
3.3V and 5V CODECs. The transmit gain block diagram and
equations for the 3.3V ISL5585 and 3.3V CODEC are
contained in Appendix A.
The A-D gain of the complete line circuit is the sum of the
CODEC A-D gain and the RSLIC G
24 TX
gain.
The receive gain path is defined by the following;
(EQ. 6) G2W-PCM = G24 (RSLIC) + GTX (CODEC)
For the ISL:5585 and 3.3V CODEC, the TX gain needed for
an overall gain equal to 0dB is given by:
(EQ. 8) GTX (op amp) = 0dB - G24 (RSLIC) - G
0dB -(-7.63dB) -(5dB) = 2.63dB
(CODEC) =
A-D
For the HC55185 and the 5V CODEC, the TX gain needed
for an overall gain equal to 0dB is given by:
(EQ. 9) GTX (op amp) = 0dB - G24 (RSLIC) - G
0dB -(-7.63dB) -(0dB) = 7.63dB
(CODEC) =
A-D
The 3.3V and 5V RSLIC/CODEC TX gain equations are
summarized in Table A1 and B1 respectively; and should be
used to calculate transmit gains other than the 0dB
implemented on the evaluation board.
The overall transmit gain has a strong dependence on the
RSLIC synthesized impedance and the correct impedance
match.
Jumper JP15 selects the T
gain for the ISL5585 and
X
HC55185 RSLICs.
Trans-hybrid Balance
The trans-hybrid balance network is implemented at the
CODEC Tx amplifier summing input. The network consists of
a pair of resistors that sum the 180
signal from Vtx, with the CODEC Rx signal. The magnitude
of the 4W return signal relative to the CODEC Rx output is
equal to the RSLIC G
trans-hybrid gain. Therefore,
44
complete 4W return signal cancellation occurs when the
trans-hybrid resistor pair ratio produces a gain equal to G
as shown in the Hybrid Model diagrams contained in
Appendices A and B.
Trans-hybrid balance performance can be tested using the
PCM4 A11 D-D level test with a 600Ω termination at the tip
and ring terminals. The echo-return loss is typically greater
than 23dB.
Jumper JP7 selects the proper transhybrid gain for the
RSLIC/CODEC chip-set used.

The 3.3V and 5V RSLICs have the same TX gain which is
