generate the negative battery by means of an
on chip DC/DC converter controller that drives an
external MOS switch.
The battery level is properly adjusted depending
on the operating mode. A useful characteristic for
these applications is the integrated ringing
generator.
The control interface is a parallel type with open
drain output and 3.3 V logic levels.
The metering pulses are generated on chip
starting from two logic signals (0 and 3.3 V) one
define the metering pulse frequency and the other
the metering pulse duration. An on chip circuit
then provides the proper shaping and filtering.
Metering pulse amplitude and shaping (rising and
decay time) can be programmed by external
components. A dedicated cancellation circuit
avoid possible codec input saturation due to
metering pulse echo.
Description
The STLC3055N is a SLIC device specifically
designed for wireless local loop (WLL) and ISDNterminal adaptors (ISDN-TA) and VoIP
applications. One of the distinctive characteristic
of this device is the ability to operate with a single

STLC3055N Functional description
4 Functional description
The STLC3055N is a device specifically developed for WLL VoIP and ISDN-TA applications.
It is based on a SLIC core, on purpose optimised for these applications, with the addition of
a DC/DC converter controller to fulfil the WLL and ISDN-TA design requirements.
The SLIC performs the standard feeding, signalling and transmission functions.
It can be set in four different operating modes via the D0, D1, D2 pins of the control logic
interface (0 to 3.3 V logic levels). The loop status is carried out on the DET
pin (active low).
The DET
pin is an open drain output to allow easy interfacing with both 3.3 V and 5 V logic
levels.
The four possible SLIC’s operating modes are:
● Power down
● High impedance feeding (HI-Z)
● Active
● Ringing
Ta bl e 6 shows how to set the different SLIC operating modes.

4.1 DC/DC converter
The DC/DC converter controller is driving an external power MOS transistor (P-channel) in
order to generate the negative battery voltage needed for device operation.
The DC/DC converter controller is synchronised with an external CLK (125 kHz typ.) or with
an internal clock generated when the pin CLK is connected to CVCC. One sensing resistor
in series to Vpos supply allows to fix the maximum allowed input peak current. This feature
is implemented in order to avoid overload on Vpos supply in case of line transient (ex. ring
trip detection).
The typical value is obtained for a sensing resistor equal to 110 mΩ that will guarantee an
average current consumption from Vpos < 700 mA. When in on-hook the self generated
battery voltage is set to a predefined value.
This value can be adjusted via one external resistor (RF1) and it is typical -50 V. When
RING mode is selected this value is increased to -70 V typ.

Functional description STLC3055N
Once the line goes in off-hook condition, the DC/DC converter automatically adjust the
generated battery voltage in order to feed the line with a fixed DC current (programmable via
RLIM) optimising in this way the power dissipation.
4.2 Operating modes
4.2.1 Power down
When this mode is selected the SLIC is switched off and the TIP and RING pins are in high
impedance. Also the line detectors are disabled therefore the off-hook condition cannot be
detected.
This mode can be selected in emergency condition when it is necessary to cut any current
delivered to the line.
This mode is also forced by STLC3055N in case of thermal overload (T
In this case the device goes back to the previous status as soon as the junction temperature
decrease under the hysteresis threshold.
No AC transmission is possible in this mode.
4.2.2 High impedance feeding (HI-Z)
This operating mode is normally selected when the telephone is in on-hook in order to
monitor the line status keeping the power consumption at the minimum.
The output voltage in on-hook condition is equal to the self generated battery voltage (-50 V
typ).
When off-hook occurs the DET
The off-hook threshold in HI-Z mode is the same value as programmed in ACTIVE mode.
The DC characteristic in HI-Z mode is just equal to the self generated battery with
2x(1600 Ω+Rp) in series (see Figure 3), where Rp is the external protection resistance.
No AC transmission is possible in this mode.

Vbat (-50V)
STLC3055N Functional description
The STLC3055N feeds the line with a constant current fixed by RLIM (20 mA to 40 mA
range). The on-hook voltage is typically 40 V allowing on-hook transmission; the self
generated Vbat is -50 V typ.
If the loop resistance is very high and the line current cannot reach the programmed
constant current feed value, the STLC3055N behaves like a 40 V voltage source with a
series impedance equal to the protection resistors 2xRp (typ. 2 x 50 Ω). Figure 4 shows the
typical DC characteristic in Active mode.

VL
The line status (on/off-hook) is monitored by the SLIC’s supervision circuit. The off-hook
threshold can be programmed via the external resistor RTH in the range from 5 mA to 9 mA.
Independently on the programmed constant current value, the TIP and RING buffers have a
current source capability limited to 80 mA typ. Moreover the power available at Vbat is
controlled by the DC/DC converter that limits the peak current drawn from the Vpos supply.
The maximum allowed current peak is set by R
SENSE
resistor.
AC characteristics
The SLIC provides the standard SLIC transmission functions:
Once in active mode the SLIC can operate with two different Tx, Rx Gain. Setting properly
by the gain set control bit (see Ta bl e 7 ).
Table 7. Gain set in active mode
Gain set 4 to 2 wire gain 2 to 4 wire gain Impedance synthesis scale factor
0 0 dB -6 dB x 50
1 +6 dB -12 dB x 25
● Input impedance synthesis: can be real or complex and is set by a scaled (x 50 or
x 25) external ZAC impedance.
● Transmit and receive: The AC signal present on the 2W port (TIP and RING pins) is
transferred to the TX output with a -6 dB or -12 dB gain and from the RX input to the
2W port with a 0 dB or +6 dB gain.
● 2 to 4 wire conversion: The balance impedance can be real or complex, the proper
cancellation is obtained by means of two external impedance ZA and ZB
Once in Active mode (D1=1) the SLIC can operate in different states setting properly D0 and
D2 control bits (see also Ta bl e 8 ).
