PBL 386 40/2
Subscriber Line
Interface Circuit
Description
The PBL 386 40/2 Subscriber Line Interface Circuit (SLIC) is a 90 V bipolar integrated
circuit for use in Digital Loop Carrier, FITL and other telecommunications equipment.
The PBL 386 40/2 has been optimized for low total line interface cost and a high
degree of flexibility in different applications.
The PBL 386 40/2 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 correspond-
ing to 2x30 kΩ.
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 40/2 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 the DLC requirements.
The PBL 386 40/2 package options are 24-pin SSOP package, 24-pin SOIC and
28-pin PLCC.
Key Features
