Am79231 Data Sheet
The Am79231, in combination with an ISLAC
™
device, implements the telephone line interface
function. This enables the design of a low cost, high performance, fully software programmable line
interface for multiple country applications worldwide. All AC, DC, and signaling parameters are fully
programmable via microprocessor or GCI interfaces on the ISLAC device. Additionally, the Am79231
device has integrated self-test and line-test capabilities to resolve faults to the line or line circuit. The
integrated test capability is crucial for remote applications where dedicated test hardware is not cost
effective.
Performs all battery feed, ring-trip, signaling,
hybrid and test (BORSCHT) functions
Two chip solution supports high density, multi-
channel architecture
Single hardware design meets multiple country
requirements through software programming of:
— DC loop-feed characteristics and current-limit
— Loop-supervision detection thresholds
— Off-hook debounce circuit
— Ground-key and ring-trip filters
— Off-hook detect de-bounce interval
— Two-wire AC impedance
— Transhybrid balance
— Transmit and receive gains
— Equalization
— Digital I/O pins
— A-law/µ-law and linear selection
Supports external battery-backed ringing
— Unbalanced ringing
— Ring relay driver
— Ring relay operation synchronized to zero cross-
ings of ringing voltage and current
— Integrated ring-trip filter and software enabled
manual or automatic ring-trip mode
Supports metering generation with envelope
shaping
Smooth or abrupt polarity reversal
Adaptive transhybrid balance
— Continuous or adapt and freeze
Supports both loop-start and ground-start
signaling
