DESCRIPTION
The LH2559 High-Voltage Interface IC is an integrated high-
voltage switch that contains a solid-state switchhook relay, a
low-voltage drop polarity guard, and a protection circuit across
the outputs.
The solid-state switchhook relay is an optically coupled, low ON-
resistance, MOSFET device. The 8-pin DIP/SOG version has an
insulating barrier of 3750 Vrms. This device has a voltage break-
down rating of 400 V.
A feature of this device is the polarity guard. A combination of
diodes and MOSFETs provides for a low-voltage drop on long
loops. The maximum voltage drop across both the polarity guard
and the solid-state switchhook relay is only 1.4 V at 20 mA.
The 18 V protection circuit is provided to ensure the integrity of
coupled low-voltage DAA circuitry, such as AT&T’s ATTD2560
Interface Circuit for Optically Coupled Data Access Arrangements.
The LH2559 is packaged in an 8-pin DIP (LH2559AB) or in an 8-
pin surface-mount gull-wing package (LH2559AAC).

This is a polarized RING conductor, negative with respect to TIPP.
Tip conductor of the telephone line on the user side of the switchhook.
This is a switched and polarized positive TIP conductor.
The polarity guard functions as a diode bridge, always
biasing the TIPP lead positive with respect to the RINGP
lead. A combination of MOSFETs and diodes is used to
reduce the forward voltage drop through the device
(including the switchhook) to 1.4 V maximum at 20 mA.
This allows a full 4.6 V to be available to the other DAA
circuitry on the equipment side of the switchhook and
while still meeting the requirements of FCC Part 68 on a
long loop. The device also contains an internal 18 V
protection circuit to protect external equipment
connected to the outputs of the device during the off-
hook state.
Functional Description
As shown in Figure 1, the LH2559 contains three func-
tional blocks: a solid-state switchhook relay, a polarity
guard, and a protection circuit.
The switchhook function is performed by using an
isolated MOSFET switch that has an ON-resistance of
approximately 7
Ω.
This switch is controlled by an opti-
cally coupled, isolated relay-driver circuit. The relay-
driver circuit is controlled by the LED input pins. When
current is applied to the LED, the switch goes to an off-
hook condition. The LED has an input/output isolation of
3750 Vrms, and the MOSFET switch has a breakdown
voltage of 400 V. These parameters will easily meet the
isolation/breakdown requirements of many regulatory
agencies.
Absolute Maximum Ratings (At 25°C)
Stresses in excess of the Absolute Maximum Ratings
can cause permanent damage to the device. These are
absolute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the
device is not implied at these or any other conditions in
excess of those indicated in the operational sections of
the data sheet. Exposure to Absolute Maximum Ratings
for extended periods can adversely affect device reli-
ability.
