DESCRIPTION
The Quad ISLAC™ device, in combination with an ISLIC™
device, implements a four channel universal telephone line
interface. This enables the design of a single, low cost, high
performance, fully software programmable line interface for
multiple country applications. All AC, DC, and signaling
parameters are fully programmable via microprocessor or GCI
interfaces. Additionally, the Quad ISLAC 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.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Intelligent Access™ voice chipsets integrate all functions of the subscriber line for four subscriber lines. One or more of two
chip types are used to implement the linecard; an ISLIC device and a Quad ISLAC device. These provide the following basic
functions:
1.
The ISLIC device: A high voltage, bipolar IC that drives the subscriber line, maintains longitudinal balance and senses line
conditions.
2. The Quad ISLAC device: A low voltage CMOS IC that provides conversion and DSP functions for all 4 channels.
Complete schematics of linecards using the Intelligent Access voice chipsets for internal and external ringing are shown in
“Application Circuits” on page 26.
The ISLIC device uses reliable, bipolar technology to provide the power necessary to drive a wide variety of subscriber lines. It
can be programmed by the ISLAC device to operate in eight different modes that control power consumption and signaling
modes. This enables it to have full control over the subscriber loop. The ISLIC device is designed to be used exclusively with the
ISLAC device as part of a multiple-line chipset. The ISLIC device requires only +5 V power and the battery supplies for its
operation.
The ISLIC device implements a linear loop-current feeding method with the enhancement of intelligent thermal management in
a controlled manner. This limits the amount of power dissipated on the ISLIC chip by dissipating excess power in external
resistors.
Each ISLAC device contains high-performance codec circuits that provide A/D and D/A conversion for voice (codec), DC-feed
and supervision signals for four subscriber channels. The ISLAC device contains a DSP core that handles signaling, DC-feed,
supervision and line diagnostics for all four channels.
The DSP core selectively interfaces with three types of backplanes:
•
Standard PCM/MPI
•
Standard GCI
•
Modified GCI with a single analog line per GCI channel
The Intelligent Access voice chipset provides a complete software configurable solution to the BORSCHT functions as well as
complete programmable control over subscriber line DC-feed characteristics, such as current limit and feed resistance. In
addition, these chipsets provide system level solutions for the loop supervisory functions and metering. In total, they provide a
programmable solution that can satisfy worldwide linecard requirements by software configuration.
Software programmed filter coefficients, DC-feed data and supervision data are easily calculated with the WinSLACä software.
This PC software is provided free of charge. It allows the designer to enter a description of system requirements. WinSLAC then
computes the necessary coefficients and plots the predicted system results.
The ISLIC interface unit inside the ISLAC device processes information regarding the line voltages, loop currents and battery
voltage levels. These inputs allow the ISLAC device to place several key ISLIC performance parameters under software control.
The main functions that can be observed and/or controlled through the ISLAC backplane interface are:
•
DC-feed characteristics
•
Ground-key detection
•
Off-hook detection
•
Metering signal
•
Longitudinal operating point
•
Subscriber line voltage and currents
•
Ring-trip detection
•
Abrupt and smooth battery reversal
•
Subscriber line matching
•
Ringing generation
•
Sophisticated line and circuit tests
To accomplish these functions, the ISLIC device collects the following information and feeds it, in analog form, to the ISLAC
device:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The metallic (IMT) and longitudinal (ILG) loop currents
The AC (VTX) and DC (VSAB) loop voltages
The outputs supplied by the ISLAC device to the ISLIC device are then:
A voltage (VHLi) that provides control for the following high-level ISLIC device outputs:
DC loop current
Internal ringing signal
12 or 16 kHz metering signal

•
A voltage that controls longitudinal offset for test purposes (VLBi)
The ISLAC device performs the codec and filter functions associated with the four-wire section of the subscriber line circuitry in
a digital switch. These functions involve converting an analog voice signal into digital PCM samples and converting digital PCM
samples back into an analog signal. During conversion, digital filters are used to band-limit the voice signals.
The user-programmable filters set the receive and transmit gain, perform the transhybrid balancing function, permit adjustment
of the two-wire termination impedance and provide frequency attenuation adjustment (equalization) of the receive and transmit
paths. Adaptive transhybrid balancing is also included. All programmable digital filter coefficients can be calculated using
WinSLAC software. The PCM codes can be either 16-bit linear two’s-complement or 8-bit companded A-law or µ-law.
Besides the codec functions, the Intelligent Access voice chipset provides all the sensing, feedback, and clocking necessary to
completely control ISLIC device functions with programmable parameters. System-level parameters under programmable control
include active loop current limits, feed resistance, and feed mode voltages.
The ISLAC device supplies complete mode control to the ISLIC device using the control bus and (P1-P3) tri-level load signal
(LDi).
The Intelligent Access voice chipset provides extensive loop supervision capability including off-hook, ring-trip and ground-key
detection. Detection thresholds for these functions are programmable. A programmable debounce timer is available that
eliminates false detection due to contact bounce.
For subscriber line diagnostics, AC and DC line conditions can be monitored using built in test tools. Measured parameters can
be compared to programmed threshold levels to set a pass/fail bit. The user can choose to send the actual PCM measurement
data directly to a higher level processor by way of the voice channel. Both longitudinal and metallic resistance and capacitance
can be measured, which allows leakage resistance, line capacitance, and telephones to be identified.
