Description
The L7597 is a resistive subscriber line interface
circuit (SLIC) that is optimized for short loop applica-
tions, such as Bellcore TA-NWT-000909 require-
ments for the fiber-in-the-loop (FITL) applications. It
interfaces with the low-voltage circuits on an analog
line card to the Tip/Ring subscriber loop. The L7597
does not supply dc current to the subscriber loop;
external resistors are used for this purpose.
Included in the L7597 are a solid-state ringing
access switch and a line break switch. Also included
is a relay driver for an external (test) access mechan-
ical relay.
State control is via four latched parallel data inputs. A
chip select feature allows the user to enable, disable,
or rest the data latches to a known logic state.
The L7597 offers a low-power scan state to minimize
power to less than 40 mW in the on-hook state. The
active power is also very low (<125 mW). The L7597
also supports on-hook transmission; however, power
dissipation will be higher (<700 mW) in the on-hook
transmission state.
To minimize the off-hook power that is dissipated in
the subscriber loop, the L7597 also offers a battery
switch feature. The high-voltage battery is applied
during an on-hook condition, to maintain compatibil-
ity with any preexisting standards. In an off-hook con-
dition, the battery is switched via a logic input to a
lower-voltage auxiliary battery, thus minimizing off-
hook power dissipation. Because the battery is
switched via an external logic control, the battery
switch is only suited for applications where the lower-
voltage battery is sufficient to drive the loop; i.e.,
short loop applications. Current is limited to a fixed
value of 25 mA by an internal precision current-limit
circuit.
Because of the internal architecture of the L7597
SLIC and because of the power rating of the associ-
ated external feed resistors, the L7597 will meet most
surge requirements without use of an external sec-
ondary protection device. Internal circuitry steers
both positive and negative faults to fault ground. Neg-
ative faults are not dumped into the battery.
The L7597 is a chip line interface solution package in
a single 32-pin PLCC package. The Tip and Ring
drive amplifiers, the XMT amplifier, the receive inter-
face, and battery noise cancellation circuits are fabri-
cated in a 90 V complementary bipolar (CBIC)
process. The ring access switch, line break switch,
battery switch, current limit, protection functions,
supervision, and control functions are fabricated in a
320 V dielectrically isolated bipolar-CMOS-DMOS
(BCDMOS) process. The device is available in a
32-pin PLCC package.
