U4090B
The U4090B contains two identical series regulators,
which provide a supply voltage V
of 3.3 V suitable for
MP
a microprocessor. In speech mode both regulators are
active, because V
and VB are charged simultaneously
MPS
by the DC-line interface. Output current is 4 mA. The
capacitor at V
is used to provide the microcomputer
MPS
with sufficient power during long line interruptions. Thus
long flash pulses can be bridged or a LCD display can be
turned on for more than 2 seconds after going on hook.
When the system is in ringing mode, V
is charged by the

Supply structure of the chip
As a major benefit the chip uses a very flexible system
structure, which allows simple realization of numerous
applications such as:

handsfree phone
ringing with the built in speaker amplifier
answering machine with external supply

There are four major supply states:
1. Speech condition
2. Power down (pulse dialing)
3. Ringing
4. External supply
1. In speech condition the system is supplied by the line
current. If the LIDET-block detects a line voltage
above the fixed threshold (1.9 V), the internal signal
VLON is activated, thus switching off RFD and RPC
and switching on all other blocks of the chip.

For line voltages below 1.9 V the switches remain in their

10 mA.
2. When the chip is put into Power-down mode
(PD = high), e.g. during pulse dialing, the internal
switch QS shorts the line and all amplifiers are
switched off. In this condition LIDET, voltage
regulators and IMPED CONTR are the only active
blocks.

Figure 11 illustrates the principal relationship between
speaker amplifier gain (GSA) and attenuation of AFS
(ATAFS). Both parameters can be adjusted
independently, but the internal coupling between them
has to be considered. Maximum usable value of GSA is
36 dB. The shape of the characteristic is moved in the
x-direction by adjusting resistor RATAFS, thus changing
ATAFS
. The actual value of attenuation (ATAFSa),
m
however, can be determined by reading the value which
belongs to the actual gain GSA
. If the speaker amplifier
a
gain is reduced, the attenuation of AFS is automatically
reduced by the same amount, in order to achieve a
constant loop gain. Zero attenuation is set for speaker
gains GSA v GSA0 = 36 dB - ATAFS

Line detection (LIDET)
The line current supervision is active under all operating
conditions of the U4090B. In speech mode
(PD = inactive) the line current comparator uses the same
thresholds as the comparator for switching off the entire
speaker amplifier. The basic behaviour is illustrated in
figure 13. Actual values of ILON/ILOFF vary slightly
with the adjustment of the DC-characteristics and the
selection of the internal line impedance.

The U4090B offers an output signal for the microcontroller, which is a digital representation of the double

with hysteresis. Input voltage VRING is transformed into
a current via RTHA. Thresholds are 8 mA and 24 mA.
RFDO and VRING are in phase. A second comparator

Ozone Depleting Substances Policy Statement
It is the policy of TEMIC TELEFUNKEN microelectronic GmbH to
1. Meet all present and future national and international statutory requirements.
2. Regularly and continuously improve the performance of our products, processes, distribution and operating systems
with respect to their impact on the health and safety of our employees and the public, as well as their impact on
the environment.
It is particular concern to control or eliminate releases of those substances into the atmosphere which are known as
ozone depleting substances (ODSs).
The Montreal Protocol ( 1987) and its London Amendments ( 1990) intend to severely restrict the use of ODSs and
forbid their use within the next ten years. Various national and international initiatives are pressing for an earlier ban
on these substances.
TEMIC TELEFUNKEN microelectronic GmbH semiconductor division has been able to use its policy of
continuous improvements to eliminate the use of ODSs listed in the following documents.
1. Annex A, B and list of transitional substances of the Montreal Protocol and the London Amendments respectively
2. Class I and II ozone depleting substances in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) in the USA
3. Council Decision 88/540/EEC and 91/690/EEC Annex A, B and C (transitional substances) respectively.
TEMIC can certify that our semiconductors are not manufactured with ozone depleting substances and do not contain
such substances.
We reserve the right to make changes to improve technical design and may do so without further notice.
Parameters can vary in different applications. All operating parameters must be validated for each customer
application by the customer. Should the buyer use TEMIC products for any unintended or unauthorized
application, the buyer shall indemnify TEMIC against all claims, costs, damages, and expenses, arising out of,
directly or indirectly, any claim of personal damage, injury or death associated with such unintended or
