device to the line and the signal from the line to the
device. The signal input at VR being sent to the line,
must not appear at the output VX. In order to prevent
this, the device has an internal cancellation circuit,
the measure of this attenuation is Transhybrid Loss
(THL).
The MH88617 has the ability to transmit analog
signals from VR through to Tip and Ring when on-
hook. This can be used when sending caller line
identification information.
Functional Description
The MH88617 is a Subscriber Line Interface Circuit
(SLIC) used to provide an analog interface between
the 4-wire connection and the 2-wire subscriber line
of a communications system.
It provides powering of the subscriber line along with
signalling, control and status circuits. This combines
to provide a comprehensive line and interface
solution in applications such as PABX, Key Systems,
Analog Terminal Adapters, Pair Gain Systems, Fibre
in the Loop and Wireless Local Loop.
Battery Feed and Loop Current Adjust
The MH88617 has an active feedback circuit to
regulate the DC current to the subscriber line. This
current is programmable over a wide range via the
LCA pin. With LCA open circuit the current will be set
to 24mA. This can be increased up to 55mA by
connecting a resistor between LCA and VCC or
reduced down to 14mA by connecting a resistor
between LCA and AGND. MSAN-156 shows a table
of resistor values and loop current.
The line driver stage is biased between +5V and
-48V DC. Therefore it should be noted that loop
current will flow in the +5V supply, this must be taken
into consideration when choosing the +5V supply.
The device will operate over a very wide VBAT
supply range but care must be taken when
programming the constant current that the maximum
power dissipation is not exceeded. For the majority
External Protection Circuit
An External Protection Circuit assists in preventing
damage to the device and the subscriber equipment,
due to over-voltage conditions (see Figure 3). Also
reference MSAN-156.
2-4 Wire Conversion
The SLIC converts the balanced 2-Wire input at Tip
and Ring to a ground referenced signal at VX. The
device converts the ground referenced signal input at
VR to a balanced 2-Wire signal across Tip and Ring.
Normally the VX and VR pins connect to a Codec
that interfaces the analog signal to a digital
network.During full duplex transmission, the signal at
Tip and Ring consists of both the signal from the
2-159

of applications this will not be a problem, however
the device could be damaged if used to drive a very
short line with the maximum battery voltage and
maximum programmable loop current.
For very long loops the constant current drive reverts
to a constant voltage source. A graph of loop current
versus line resistance is shown in Figure 4.
Under fault conditions, Tip or Ring are protected
from short circuits to ground when the current
exceeds the protection trip threshold. Under these
circumstances, the SLIC will go into a power down
mode and periodically check the line status until the
fault has been removed. Thereby minimizing power
dissipation. The SLIC will revert to an operational
state once the fault is removed.
Advance Information
The SLIC also has the ability to provide ringing on
short loops without the need for a high voltage DCRI
supply. This is achieved by connecting the DCRI pin
to a low voltage supply such as +5V or +12V
providing the subscriber equipment ringing detector
has a low enough sensitivity threshold. In this
application the input at RV needs to be a square
wave (refer MSAN-156).
The SLIC has an automatic ring-trip circuit that
ensures the ringing is removed when the subscriber
goes off-hook. However the user must still insure RC
is taken to logic 0 when SHK signals the subscriber
has gone off-hook.
Programmable Input Impedance
By connecting external passive components
between ZA and ground (AGND) the device’s input
impedance can be set to match the line impedance.
As shown in Figure 3 and Table 1. A more
comprehensive list is given in MSAN-156.
Ringing Amplification
The MH88617 incorporates an internal ringing
amplifier circuit. A balanced ringing signal is applied
across Tip and Ring, when a DC voltage is
connected to the DCRI pin, a low level sinusoidal
signal is applied to RV and RC is set to logic 1. The
ringing voltage is approximately 50 times the signal
at RV. The gain depends on the ringer load and
impedance at ZA. If an absolute gain is required, a
transistor can be fitted across ZA to give 42.
Programmable Network Balance
The network balance of the device can be
programmed by connecting external passive
components between GVX and VR, as shown in
Figure 3 and Table 1.

recommended.
Meter-Pulse Injection
Programmable Transmit and Receive
Gain
The transmit gain from Tip and Ring to VX can be
programmed by connecting a resistor between GVX
and VX. Similarly the Receive Gain from VR to Tip
and Ring can be programmed by connecting an
impedance in series with VR as shown in Figure 3
and Table 1. Refer to MSAN-156 for additional
impedances.
If the External Signal Enable (ESE) is taken to logic
1 and a 12kHz or 16kHz Meter Pulse signal is
applied to the ESI pin then this signal will be
amplified and output across Tip and Ring. This is
used for calculating the cost of a telephone call.
The gain of the meter pulse signal varies with
programmed input impedance e.g. with the input
impedance programmed for 600Ω and a 200Ω AC
load applied across Tip and Ring the ESI signal will
be amplified by a factor of 2.
Some applications require the 12/16 kHz meter
pulse signal to be ramped before being input at ESI.
Off-Hook and Dial Pulse Detection
The switch hook detect output (SHK) goes to a logic
1, when loop current is above the detect threshold
(see DC Electrical Characteristics). This occurs
when the subscriber’s equipment seizes the line to
initiate a call or answer a call. When loop disconnect
dialling is being used, SHK pulses to logic 0 to
indicate the digits being dialled. This output should
be debounced by the system software.
During On-hook transmission SHK remains at logic
0.
Power Down
If AGND is applied to LCA pin the MH88617 will
enter a power down mode where the internal circuitry
is turned off and the power consumption is reduced.
This can be used to conserve power when the line is
inactive.
If the system wants to initiate a call the AGND must
be removed from the LCA before the ringing signal is
transmitted.
If the subscriber initiates a call by seizing the line, SHK
will go to logic 1. The system should monitor this and
respond by removing the AGND from LCA causing the
device to wake up.
Reversal
During normal operation i.e. LR connected to logic 1,
the DC voltage on Tip is positive with respect to
Ring. This can be reversed by applying a logic 0 to
the Line Reversal pin (LR). This feature is used for
signalling. The SLIC is functional during reversal but
