PBL 386 50/1
Subscriber Line
Interface Circuit
Description
The PBL 386 50/1 Subscriber Line Interface Circuit (SLIC) is a 90 V bipolar integrated
circuit for use in Central Office Metering applications and other telecommunications
equipment. The PBL 386 50/1 has been optimized for low total line interface cost and
a high degree of flexibility in different applications.
The PBL 386 50/1 emulates resistive loop feed, programmable between 2x50
Ω
and 2x900
Ω,
with short loop current limiting adjustable to max 45 mA. In the current
limited region the loop feed is nearly constant current with a slight slope
corresponding to 2x30kΩ.
A second, lower battery voltage may be connected to the device to reduce short
loop power dissipation. The SLIC automatically switches between the two battery
supply voltages without need for external components or external control.
The SLIC incorporates loop current, ground key and ring trip detection functions.
The PBL 386 50/1 is compatible with both loop and ground start signaling.
Two- to four-wire and four- to two-wire voice frequency (VF) signal conversion is
accomplished by the SLIC in conjunction with either a conventional CODEC/filter or
with a programmable CODEC/filter, e.g. SLAC, SiCoFi, Combo II. The programmable
two-wire impedance, complex or real, is set by a simple external network.
Longitudinal voltages are suppressed by a feedback loop in the SLIC and the
longitudinal balance specifications meet Bellcore TR909 requirements.
The PBL 386 50/1 package options are 24-pin SOIC or 28-pin PLCC.
