DESCRIPTION
The circuit provides DC loop termination for analog trunk lines.
The V-I characteristics is equivalent to a fixed
voltage drop (zener like characteristic) in series
with an external resistance that determines the
slope of the DC characteristic.
An external low voltage electrolytic capacitor
causes the circuit to exhibit a very high impedance to all AC signal above a minimum frequency
that is determinedby the capacitor itselfand by a
20 Knominalresistor integrated on thechip.
The Off-Hook status is detected all the time a
typic of 8 mA is flowinginto thecircuit. In this condition a constant current generator is activated to

circuit.
When Pulse Dialing is required the PULSE input
(pin 3) connected to V- causes the device to reduce the fixed DC voltage drop and to exhibit a
pure resistive impedanceequal to the externalresistor.

APPLICATIONINFORMATION
With the use of this circuit it is possible to terminate an analog trunk so that all the DC current
component is flowing in the TRUNK TERMINATION CIRCUIT while the AC component is decoupled with a low voltage capacitor and can be
used with a small and low cost audio coupler
transformer to provide the AC balancing termination and two to four wire conversion.
Therefore it is usefull both for MODEMand PABX
systems.

Figure 1 gives the typical application circuit ; it is
worth to note that the TRUNK TERMINATION
CIRCUIT,togetherwith the LS5018transient suppressor provides a compact and low cost module
fully protected against lightning or overvoltages
frequentlypresent on telephonelines.
The PULSE input when connected to V- allows
the device to reduce the Line Voltage and to
show a resistive impedance equal to R1 to the
line. When PULSEinput is left open, this function
is disable.
