3.2 OPERATION IN OFF-HOOK CONDITION
Main feature of this device is that changing from On-Hook to Off-Hook condition, I
voltage will be automatically adjusted depending of the loop resistance and by the current

BAT
limitation value programmed (I
LIM
).
It should be noted that the device is optimised to operate on short loop applications (R
>0mA, the
L
loop
≤500Ω) in order to obtain a correct ring-trip detection.
In these conditions and for a line current reaching the programmed constant current feed value
(I
), the STLC3055N works like a current generator with a fixed DC current.
LIM
A fixed voltage drop, 4V on TIP/gnd and about 6V on RING/Vbat, assures the DC functionality
and the proper swing for the AC signal.
Therefore, once the line is set in Off-Hook, the STLC3055N automatically adjust the self generated battery voltage (V
) to feed the line with a fixed DC current (programmable via R
BAT
LIM)

Figure 4. DC-DC Converter Circuit
The dc\dc converter works in Buck-Boost configuration and its operation can be described as
a two step process.
Mosfet in turn-on condition :
energy from Vpos is stored in the inductor, diode reverse biased, load on V
powered by the
BAT
energy stored in the output capacitors CV.
Mosfet in turn-off condition :
energy stored in the inductor is delivered to the output capacitor and hence on the load, by the
diode forward biased.
An internal circuit controls the duty-cycle of the gate signal so that the output current of dc\dc
converter can be proportional to the load. When, for a short time, an higher power is required,
an enbedded circuit fix the max duty-cycle to about 95%.
The Rsense, in this case, guarantees the maximum value of the limited current.
3.5 INPUT CURRENT LIMITATION
The power supply, in the WLL applications, usually hasn't got high power current capability
so that, when a ring trip occurs, the status of the slic changes from Ring mode to off-hook condition and since the loop current control is not immediately working, the line current reaches
the output stages current limitation value that is about 80mA.
As a consequence, an high peak current is sunk from V
that could be higher of its maxi-
POS
mum current capability. In this case, if no limiting current circuit is used, (Rsense = 0), the
voltage would drop down.

POS
To prevent this type of problem, the STLC3055N incorporates a circuit on the V

The RSENSE resistor set the input peak current value.

rent capability limit.
In typical application the input peak current is fixed to 900mApK (100mV / 110mΩ) in order
to guarantee a proper performances in the total range of the current loop (20-40mA) and the

resistor value in a range from 170-180mΩ, it is mandatory to use a Vpos voltage of 12V.
3.8 TRAPEZOIDAL RINGING SIGNAL

3.13 PROTECTION
Different circuit configuration can be used to protect the device from overvoltages.
The proper solution depends on specified overvoltage and in particular whether the environ-
ment, where the STLC3055N has to work, is defined by the K20 requirements or not.
If K20 is requested, a solution, that includes a transient voltage suppressor LCP1521
PTC resistors and two transils has to be used.
Two diodes inside the LCP1521 will clamp to ground the positive lightnings, power cross and
voltage overstress.
On the negative ones, the device will fire because of the gate triggered on the voltage V

3.14 RING TRIP
In this slic, the Ring Trip detection is performed sensing the average current (an image of the
line current), rectified by a proper circuit, injected in RD resistor.
It is then filtered by CAC capacitor and compared to the Ring Trip Threshold (I
), internally
RTH
programmed, by RD resistor itself (please do not confuse with the resistor RTH setting the
Off-Hook threshold for Active and H.Z. modes).
If the average of the trapezoidal AC current changes by the transition from higher ring impedance (on-hook condition) to low impedance (Off-Hook condition), the voltage on RD resistor
increases.
As soon as this voltage overcomes the programmed threshold (I
) the Ring Trip will be de-
RTH
tected.
(In Ring mode there isn't any DC current into RD resistor but only the rectified average cur-
rent). It is clear that the above described Ring Trip method is obtimised to operate in a short
loop (<500ohm) applications and not in presence of very long line.
The ring-trip detection threshold is programmed by the formula : I
= 100/RD
RTH
With 20Hz of ring frequency, CAC=22µF, RD=4KΩ the pin DET goes low about 100ms after
the off-hook transition.
When the slic is in Ring mode the average current reaches a level that depends of the REN
load, this value, for a correct functionality, have to be lower than I
threshold.
RTH
Typical application can guarantee up to 3REN of load.
Increasing the REN number up to 5REN, the AC load will increase, the average current l be-
comes higher than I
and, in this case, a ring trip will be detected.
RTH
Reducing properly the value of RD it is possible to riadjust the situation.
Of course, at the same condition, increasing I
threshold, will also increase the Ring trip
RTH
time.
At the end it is possible to say that the Ring Trip function is function of:
– load (REN number)
– value of the Ring Trip rectified average threshold current "I
– value of the max peak current sunk from V

3.15 PCB PRECAUTIONS
Figure 9. Layout Reference
A good PCB layout is a basic aspect to avoid noise problem, that in some cases can even bring
the device into a wrong operating condition.
In practice, such noise can be injected by Ground, Supply, parasitic coupling between PCB
tracks and by high impedance points.
The layout should prevent any coupling between the DC/DC converter components and analog pins that are referred to AGND (ex: RD, I
As a first reccomendation the components CV, L1, PMOS, D1, CVPOS, R
REF
, RTH, R
LIM
, VF).
SENSE
should be
kept as close as possible to each other and isolated from the other components.
Noise could be produced by the ripple on CVBAT capacitor and in particular across its equiv-
alent series resistor value (ESR). The lower this value, the lower the ripple that can be present
on V
. A particular care has to be taken for the tracks used for connection between VPOS
BAT
and dc/dc converter that must be low impedance ones. This is due to the high current flowing
in this tracks.
You can prevent noise also connecting R
(26K1) as close as possible to the I
REF

pin.
3.16 GROUND CONFIGURATION
Another important point is the ground connection: a star configuration is suggested (see Fig.

In fact it's very important to create, on the layout, a proper P-GND area and connecting at this
point the gnd of the CV electrolitic capacitor, the gnd of the CVPOS electrolytic capacitor, and
the gnd of the inductor .
This P-GND area has to be connected, by a proper track, on the center of the star.
In this way all the perturbation produced by the peack current produced by the switching tran-
sistor will be cooled by the center of the gnd star (system GND) without any perturbation on
the other AGND/BGND.
All the other components have to be connected on the GND (AGND/BGND) area.
3.17 CAPACITOR
CVB and C14, ceramic capacitors may be used to filter the high frequency ripple and noise
that respectively CV and CVPOS, electrolytic capacitors, are not able to reject.
Good choice is to connect also a 100nF from VPOS and GND in order to cancel high frequency
noise on the VPOS pin. Above capacitor may be or may not be used depending on the high
frequency sensitivity of the apparatus that includes our device.
CRD avoid the noise coupling on RD pin that is an high impedance input.
3.18 ON-HOOK TRANSMISSION
Voice transmission performances are guaranteed in the complete range of loop current down
to 0mA setting the slic in Active mode, receiving data on RX, pin during ringing pause.
The max output voltage is correlated to the 2Wire Overload Voltage parameter (see d.s.)
3.19 PHONE DETECTION
The pin DET can also be used to detect the load status of the line.
In fact, with the loop in OH-HOOK condition, setting the slic in Active Reverse polarity and then
changing its status to H.I. Feeding when a typ telephone is connected, pin DET will go to low
level for a time of about 1.5ms, if the line is open this time becomes about 2µs.
3.20 ESD IMMUNITY
The ESD protection, in this device, withstand a discharge of 2KV with the Human Body Model.
If the STLC3055N has to work in sensitive apparatus where equipement tests against ESD
immunity are required (4KV, 8KV) some precautions have be taken.
Because the device, during these tests, is usually supplied, the ESD transient can puts in on
condition the internal ESD protection diodes connected on VPOS and R
When the transient disappear and VPOS supplied is higher than 9V, the internal ESD diodes
are not able to recover back in off condition.
Using VPOS supply up to 9V the recovery of the ESD diodes is guaranteed and the equipment
will be able to pass the ESD immunity tests. When it is not possible to use a reduced VPOS
voltage a solution can be found using the schematic configuration below shown.

Since this solution have an inpact on the threshold of the input limitation circuit it is necessary
to increase the RSENSE resistor up to 470 mΩ to restore the previous situation.
3.21 SETTING RESISTOR
The current flowing into the resistor of the STLC3055N application:
IRLIM, IRTH, IRREF = 1.3V/R
IRD = Iline/100
IRSENSE = 100mV/RSENSE
IRF1, IRF2 can be considered about 300µA
Into RS, ZAC, ZA, ZB, RLV, RTTX no dc current flow.
3.22 LONGITUDINAL BALANCE
To avoid degradetion on this parameter, it is very important to use 1% of tolerance of Rp resistors and 1% matching on PTC resistors (if they are used).
In fact low Longitudnal Balance rejection, caused by the mismatching of the resistors or PTC,
is able to generate noise problems.
For example in a WLL GSM based, noise can be generated by the 25Hz produced by the 4ms
burst of the antenna transmission.
3.23 TTX FILTER
A proper metering pulse (12KHz 16KHz) cancelling low pass filter, with 3rd order, can be obtained choosing those values for the external components:
RLV=16K2//16K2 =8.1K, CFL=1.5nF, R1=1.3 MΩ, R2=180K, C1=47pF, C2=6.8pF.
If the TTX is not requested the components RLV, CS, CFL, RTTX, CTTX can be removed, the
pins CKTTX, CTTX1, CTTX2, FTTX have to be connected to GND and, the pin RTTX open.

3.24 GAIN SETTING
In order to adapt the slic also versus the 3.3V, low supply voltage CODEC, the device has
the possibility to change TX and RX gains by the Gain Set control pin.
Table 11.
Gain Set RX Gain TX Gain Impedance Syntesys Scale Factor
0 0dB - 6dB X 50
1 + 6 dB - 12dB X 25
3.25 COMPLEX IMPEDANCE
Most Countries (Administration) adopt complex impedance for both the “Exchange Impedance” (Zexch) and the “Balance impedance” instead of the 600ohm, purely resistive impedance. As a consequence, the AC input impedance that the slic plus protection resistor shows
at its line terminals, (Zs), have to be calculated in order to match properly the Zexch to obtain
good performances on the Return Loss parameter.
When Zexch is a complex impedance, the synthesised impedance Zs will be calculate as :
Zs
ZAC
------------ 2Rp+=
50
, where 50 is a fixed scale factor .
(For ZAC definition see datasheet)
For Gain Set = 1 the scale factor is 25
Considering, for example, the ETSI 2 complex impedance Zexch = 270 + (750//150nF)
An AC input impedance has to be synthesized on Pins Tip /Ring of the slic (ZAC), to do so,
the proper Zs, considering the line terminal, have to be calculated as :
ZAC=(Zs-2Rp)*50 because 2Rp = 100ohm
ZAC= (270-100)*50 + [(750*50)//(150nF/50)]=
ZAC = 8.5K + (37.5K//3nF)
In this way the slic will synthesize Zs impedance matching properly the Zexch.
Also for the 2 to 4 wire conversion, the administration defines an AC terminal Balance imped-
ance Zb properly used to obtain the THL performance.
Good Trans-Hybrid Loss performance and since a proper echo cancellation can be obtained
matching properly the two external impedance, ZA and ZB, that can also be complex impedance.
ZA = 50 x Zexch
ZB = 50 x Zb
For Gain Set = 1 the scale factor is 25
In case of Zb=Zexch, the impedances ZA and ZB can be replaced by two resistors calculating
their value as:
ZA=ZB= 50 x |Zexch| For Gain Set = 1 the scale factor is 25
Were |Zexch| is the modules @ 1KHz .
For ETSI 2 the value |Zexch| = 842ohm
ZA=ZB= 50 x 842ohm = 42.1Kohm
A typ value of 120pF (with Gain Set = 0) for the capacitors CComp and CH guarantee the first
loop stability and the second good THL performances.
For Gain Set = 1 the capacitor value duplicate.
